Its all in cyles likes. Sooner or later folk will become interested in the local stuff again. Because it's all going mad with money. People change, techno doesn't (maybe more intriqute but still the same genre). I feel there is techno thats just as brilliant as what was coming out when it was first derived :D
folk will cotton on i think and fresh things will happen/are happening.
Despite this post, i really find chatting about DJs expensive habits and fees like watching "a place in the sun" or some other ****ing shit we can never afford at a time like this.
For ****s sake if you have a club that gets a decent amount of folk in regularly book me cheap as **** and in the words of Arnie - "QUIT YOUR WHINING"
