It's nuts... the uk cant support that. how is techno supposed to grow like this? can you not see that the uk club scene would rather put 5000 quid on someone that will PULL commercial than miss xxx with 2 business class flights cause she pulls in europe. Damn if we want techno to grow in UK we need a few big names who really are willing to step in and say 'We'll help you out'. Until that happens IMHO techno that is not fashion (ie minimal) is ****ed.

thats my 2 cents....
I think greed had ****ed the scene up & it has come back & bit those greedy artists & agents in the arse because of the recession as some of those greedy artists have not been getting many bookings this year so in a way it was come full circle

I think it should go back to basics for the scene to survive as some big name club nights like Shindig have for example they had to stop holding Shindig at Digital every Sat as they weren't getting the club full not even half full so they have changed to a smaller venue & holding it once a month
