| Actually I can think of one good "pop" remix. Plastician's version of Kosheen's "Guilty". Pretty nice. |

Much better is usually buying something you're not completely sure of, and then gradually realizing it's much better than you thought or that it has a ing killer B-side you've never noticed. |
That is also an awesome feeling!

Yes, there is a better feeling beatblog... it's being there in that room, hearing it for the first time and losing your to the tune! :crazy: |
You misunderstand.
There's nothing in the world I like better than a set full of tunes I don't know. All the top acts I've seen have played material completely new to me. I despise people who say "DJ was , I didn't know anything he played"
I'm talking about post gig trainspotting, tracking down the music AFTER hearing, not identifying it on the night. It's a great feeling after hours/days/weeks/months/years of research to finally get that tune!
That said, it's also a good feeling when you have a little track that you treat as your own, and you hear it played out for the first time, besides the fact that the cat's now out of the bag. |

I think its a problem when music is judged on how "underground" it is, rather than its own merits. I realize that once a genre gains mainstream popularity it becomes flooded with tracks, however the good music is still there. Just a matter of finding it.
Underground music to me is when an artist makes music with no regard to society or current trends. Music like that will always be around. |

no, that's just simply 'music'. |

| As long as some tracks keep their release strictly to vinyl, some music will still be kept "underground." |

Maybe so, but once more people discover it, the song is still the same. Why should someone's opinion of it be changed simply because it is no longer considered 'underground'? |
