Getting back to the roots.....

All I see around me is commercial music. Am I crazy, or do you think I have a valid point? I see all these mixes and I say to myself…..where are the little guys? Where are the people that are BETTER than the commercial music, but just not signed? Sure, everyone loves BT, Paul Oakenfold (SP??), DJ Tiesto, Paul van Dyk, Darude, ATB, Robert Miles, Iio and SOOOOOOOO many more, but how did they get their start/ They weren’t always big, well known names and I think it’s high time we got back to some roots.
I ONLY MIX all unsigned artists that display incredible MIND BLOWING talent. I want to help promote the little guys. The people that have a dream, a talent and some kick ass music! Many of them aren’t in it to get signed; they’re not in it for the money of the glory. They just want to make quality trance/dance/house music and they want people to enjoy listening to it. Is that so much to ask?
So I implore you to search for commercial music alternatives. There are many places one can find incredible unsigned artists. My main source is Acid Planet and since AP hosts remix contests, you can even find some of your favorites there, remixed and available for FREE. So what are you going to be listening to next week? Are you going to be padding the pocket of some over paid star that doesn’t give a about the music anymore, only about the money? Or do you want to be listening to a new artist that ONLY cares about the music and their audience?

support your local talent, there are soooo many local djs that can rock the house more than the headliners.
Last year... Oakey played in minneapolis, and a local dj who played after him, stole the show! |

sure, it's great playing the obscure titles, but playing out ONLY "unsigned artists" is really just limiting yourself. I play what I like.. even if it's commercial. |
