from a personal point of view it has been a very very good year from a dj'ing point of view got to go to a lot of places i would never have visited if i hadn't been there playing that is for certain, apart from the dj'ing though it has been a tough one with both of the distribution companys i use going bust in the space of a few months apart both of them owing me moneystill that is in the past now and like mark says it looks like good things are afoot for the new year. also have to agree with mark on the cheese merchants latching onto the more predictable end of the market just marks the end of a cycle really and there is certainly enough new people pushing to be heard in 2004 along with the more established people.
should be a good one ;)
