It`s not just techno you fools, the whole dance music scene has been hit by a slump. I personally think it is down to the recession that we are (not officially according to the government) in. All the signs are there, commercial rent prices going down, lots of To-Let signs everywhere (ah there were days when I would have jump up and down with excitement at this), constant sales on at the shops.

Techno will survive , but how the Dance scene in general will change I don`t know. Hopefully things will get back underground, with lots of cool events, rather than these huge, expensive and basically kak things we have had to suffer.

40% downturn though. PHUQ!
