ny is a mess right now. we have a great assortment of techno parties during the week, with top-notch local talent and a great assortment of top-flight international jocks turning it out, but the problem is that people aren't showing up for the "talent" anymore. NY has become so much of a "scene" that a lot of these parties are getting crowds who are there to be "seen" instead of there for the music. which is why we can pack out a sven + richie monday night, but nights where rachmad, space dj'z, technasia, etc.. play we can barely scrape up a couple of hundred heads. on the one hand.. i feel reassured because techno surely is one of those things that you either "get", or you don't. i find it's kind of like dr. pepper in that you love it, or don't. i'd rather have that knowledgable CORE/NUCLEUS of people that get and are going mental to rachmad in a small intimate space, then be in a huge club where people are there more for the club's name than the dj's. but.. being a realist, i know this is not economically feasible and am having a hard time reconciling.



best,
