yes, lets talk economics.
pizza economics.
you will never find an industry with more shops that open and close such as the pizza shops.
but know what you never hear? - "the pizza industry is dying"
the reality is, most techno is businessmen are techno maniacs first and businessness second.
genres are the only things that are pigeon-holed.
business experience is pretty pigeon-holed as well.
i mean look at the facts.
most techno labels are started up by young men who
1) are under business educated.
2) have slim to no net work connections
3) offer very little more than the guy next to them
4) and dont have enough money to do it right.
hmmm... wonder why things may appear tuff.
you just have to relize that a business ANY BUSINESS. is going to be tuff and hard work.
remember - no one claims the pizza industry is dying. just the shops.
