not to mention that as much as some of you may not like it...Oakenfold...Corsten...Deep Dish must be doing something right to be within the Worlds Top 10. So if you really think about it 3 of the worlds best under one roof?...not to shabby
plus this is an all ages event...come out...have fun...share your music/demos ect...educate the kids
'whom are our and our scenes future!' |
what else is new... the important stuff especailly about educating the kids falls on deaf ears...and you all whine the scene is dying..we now see why. |
I agree. As much as I hate trance, its what got me into EDM in the first place. Cleveland needs shows like this to get folks interested in this music. So keep it down, You little closet candy ravers. Where's glowstick Jamie when You need him? :wink: |
With regards to this whole aspect of the thread (and I really don't want it to go on much more of a detour) I see Nikki's point, but don't necessarily agree with it completely. I'm not going to get into that but I will say, however, that Paul Oakenfold did do a *lot* for this scene and while he may be resting on his crown of laurels and living the high life(like a lot of people) he does deserve credit. Deep Dish also deserves a lot of credit, for NUMEROUS reasons. Corsten I have nothing to say about.
I agree STRONGLY with the all ages aspect. I have said it for 5 years now that clubs are shooting themselves in the foot by not educating people. The reason for degredation is 21 year olds jumping into clubbing expecting a high school dance. (See the old "AFTER-PROM" post on cleveland.com).
I don't agree that Trance is still an "in point" for electronic music. That genre has been the primary in-road for quite a while and we all know things are cyclical and that things change. Currently I believe that trance is the "stereotype" that all "techno haters" hold towards dance music. For the masses to again appreciate dance music then that stereotype music be broken. Just as "alternative" rock of the 90's broke the stereotype that AC/DC, BON JOVI, WHITESNAKE, etc had set for rock music.
Definately, however, some kids that are there aren't going to know Trance from House from Techno to breaks. If they get exposed to something new or fresh from a demo... then alright for them! Why dog a chance to promote and reach new faces --- unless your goal is to entertain only your friends?
