its a tough one, the scene over here tends to be mainly focused on getting people thru the door and into the clubs, and to do that then (as always!) clubs have to rely on booking the big names! sad but true... its an age old problem.

Alot of clubs tho in the uk now have a healthy mix of big names and new talent. Alot of this new talent are the younger chaps (myself included, without the arrogance!) and this can only be a good thing. There are plenty of Djs on here and in everyones local scene who u just KNOW can put on a better show than some of the big guns, simply because they have the love, passion and energy for what they are doing that some of the big guns just dont seem to have! They will have once been like the new kids on the block, but success and money can change alot of people's views, actions etc etc and its often these Djs/Producers who come up for quite a slagging off at times when they play clubs and leave the punters disapointed with yet another lacklustre and effortless set.

its very easy to get let down in the scene, with gigs etc as everyone will know, and this does leave u feeling disheartened at times, but all anyone can do is keep trying to get out there playing, and to keep our fingers crossed that the clubs keep interested and keep getting on the quality djs and acts that are out there waiting to be discovered!
