| Theo Parrish would rip an EM in half. As I think Kyle Hall would too. |

Difference being that I'm not imagining a generally superior past to the present. I'm talking about the decline of one specific radio show.
Do you genuinely think under my own conditions I'm not allowed to claim anything or anyone has declined over the years?
The EM has gone downhill for very simple, logical and unsentimental reasons:
1. Once upon a time, continuous music without advertisements was very rare on the radio. The BBC was one of the only radio stations that could do it while attracting prominent DJs. Therefore the Essential Mix was a rare chance for an extended live DJ mix on the radio. Today, Internet radio has basically erased that. Many DJs play two hour radio sets every single week. The EM is no longer special.
2. The EM is now so old that there it can no longer sustain itself on a limited pool of high-quality DJs playing limited number of sets. If you expect to deliver an EM every single week you eventually have to extend the invitation to lesser DJs, thus diluting the quality.
3. When a DJ has already played 15 billion EMs, they aren't going to put the same effort in. So the one-time EM legends are now more prone to phoning in their mixes. When Oakenfold trainwrecked to in 2006, the writing was on the wall. |
exactly although most internet radio is of such poor quality and it's a shame that some 'shows' get such a following because they're basically useless, the EM esp back in the days, you knew you'd get the 'best' of what each genre picked had to offer. |
