In the past couple of years, in addition to many half empty Techno clubs, I've seen DJ Premier play to about 200 ppl, Flavor Flav entertain a crowd of about 50, and most shocking of all, Clipse in Leeds with a couple hundred there.. less than 200..one of the best live sets I've ever mind.

Radio One, MTV, Channel 4 etc have been pushing Rock music hard the past couple years, and alot of kids wanna go see bands instead these days..


Thing is, alot of the major citys, and Leeds for one are full of students who mainly wanna go to where they can show off their latest clothes and sunglasses, and obviously they all go to the same place as the rest of the students....alot of it now is not about the music anymore, its a shame but this is how it is, things like Mixmag dont help either,
To these people, the djs we think are big are almost or even totally unknown to them, unless of course they are big in ibiza or mixmag etc...

funny thing is, these kids think they are listening to techno, and half the time its anything but that!!!
