i think it appears the attention is being taken away from the dj and being given back to the music. the dj has become the focal point within the scence and people have begun to see this, its no amazing thing to be able to beatmatch and play a few records in a club, a lot "NOT ALL" of djs have got lazy and play the same set week in week out " see european producer on last post".
Its seems most agree the music avalible is better than ever, and i agree, so how can the scene be dying, i get rid of between 50 and 70 cds every 2 months, i am finding more people listening then ever before, just not wanting to pay stupid amounts of money to do it for a bit of the same old same old.
i go clubbing to listen to the music, not the dj
