also clubs seem to be stopping doing techno nights, probally because cash, can make more with cheesy club nights more on bar etc. Less clubs less vibe less records sold. Birmingham hardly has any techno compared to 3-5 years ago. Have seen the crowds get less too. Also noise regulations are a problem has stopped us doing a night back home (Ludlow) which has been going for over 3 years. Unless we use the in house shit rig which ain't gonna happen.
So less scene, less records sold.
Roll on the summer and the great outdoors...
