I just wanted to point out that you're wrong.
I've been regularily attending and promoting events in this "scene" for 12 years now. It was more mainstream 1998-2000.
we had at least one or two events a month that pulled between 8,000-15,000 people. We had numerous afterhours clubs. We had mainstream radio going live to air from 7,000 person events. even the afternoon drive was stations like energy 107 was filled with house, techno and trance. there were also dedicated shows like the dr trance show and flipside's tripping on energy. plus we had 2 stations that went all night playing our kind of music. we had massive sponsored events from B&H, Smirnoff, Heineken, Nokia among others. We had much music playing videos of our music. mtv had a show dedicated to it. We had local magazines with monthly circulations of tens of thousands of copies.
all of that's gone now.
all of that's gone. now there's just a handful of clubs, a little radio play and ty ass bpm TV |
i disagree with you
the reason for all that being gone is politicians and new radio/much music staff that decided to play rock/hiphop 24/7
B&H sponsored events all the way up to 2004 until they were forced out by politicians. Smirnoff and other liquor companies still sponsor events to this day, i don't know where you're getting that info from. I'm sure if politicians allowed promoters create huge events in the city like back in the day, as many if not more would show up. |

what?
I don't think you understood what I was pointing out.
In the way of events, clubs, radio, television, print etc.. there was more happening and on a larger scale then there is now. There for the "scene" and the "music" was bigger and more mainstream then.
FYI, it's stupid to debate this stuff with me. I've been around for a long time and although I don't want to come off as a douche bag.. fact is I know the poeple that organized the biggest parties, that work(ed) for the alcohol and tabacco companies and gave out the sponsorship money, that had the radio shows, that owned the magazines. I've also worked with almost every club in the city at some point. I know what I'm talking about. |

lol i dont deny the fact that you probably know more than i do about the "scene" but come on, are you saying that the house music is less mainstream than it has ever been? its being played in every single club in the city, not just ""afterhours" like it used to be. |

I never said it was less mainstrean then it's ever been.
You said it was more mainstream then ever, and I pointed out that it was more mainstrean between the years 1998-2000. |

Whoa. Dangerous stuff. I sincerely hope you are not as conceited as these comments make you sound. It is nice to have experience, but only if you have the intellectual humilty to realize that you don't know everything. You don't work for the RIAA do you?
There is no doubt in my mind that advances in technology (i.e. file sharing software like Napster which wasn't released until 1999, increased storage capcity, faster internet bandwidth, the release of itunes in 2001, ipods, beatport whch was released in 2004, internet radio, etc.) have make EDM more accessible and listened to by more people around the world. These advances were not in place in 1998-2000. Not even close. There are certaily more DJs today that there were 7-10 years ago.
I dunno, perhaps you and gera are using different definitions of mainstream.
