We've been doing big parties in the UK and Europe for years, and I have noticed a decrease in punters. Once apon a time Hazard were in Mixmag, now people half a mile down the road have never even heard of a rave or freeparty. It has stagnated, but Techno is a DIY scene and will continue.
Also, Ketamin: people go to raves to snort this vile shite and dont care about what music is being played. Which leads me onto:
Perhaps Techno in the UK is maturing? As the ''muso's'' move away from illegal parties, by starting club night (Asbestos in Exeter. Sneaky plug!) a new (hopefully) breed of people may be attracted to the music we know and love. It might take a year or so, but I firmly believe that Techno music in the UK will become stronger, better and more popular than ever.
Sorry this post is shitly written, lot on my mind.
Anyway, nice forum, thanks for finally letting me join mark!
