if it wasnt for the internet i wouldnt be into techno as much as i am now. Some techno that was not even acessable to me is now available.

I believe the internet have made record stores more shit. not all just some. as most dj's tend to use the net to buy unkown/ hard to find tunes, the record stores loose out big time. this means that the proper dj's tend to use record stores less.

This in effect makes the record stores purchase records that they know they will sell, comercial records, records that please to the masses in order to keep sales up.

This in turn makes proper dj's go to these record stores even less because there are not any good/hard to find records anymore.

VICIOUS CIRCLE BEGINS.

This is why my two local record stores, apart from a few good records, which ive usually got already, stocks comercial bullshit.

I seriously need a company such as integrale to put listening posts on their site as its a mission to go all the way there just for a couple of records. I think it will cost at the begining but will increase their sales 2 fold.

This is just one area of the internet ruining the scene.There is also the stealing peoples loops debate, too many producers producing shit debate, great producers that might never get the chance to get their stuff out now can due to the internet.
