I hate showboating, but the people who do it play to a bigger crowd than I do

Techno isn`t underground any more, it`s already been through it`s commercial peak. Now it`s just unpopular.
I still love it more than any other music though.

10 years ago to the hour, many trance mans probaly said exactly the same thing. :lol:

The difference being trance always had a larger commercial potential, so when it settled after it`s peak, along with mainstream house, it still remains the mainstream of dance music.
Techno was always niche, it reached it`s niche peak and then returned to it`s post hype mean.
It still absorbed enough of the ugliness of the commercial scene though.

Mnml is massively popular, but it`s so close to house it`s interchangeable.

But blah blah anyway, back to the subject.

Acting like a performing monkey is necessary for mainstream popularity, if that is what you want.
