music is goods these days more than anytime before. goods needs to be advertised to sell well. advertisiment is just one part of coin, the other one is customer who buys it. promoter will blame as much as people accept = they buy a ticket. this isn't anything new to me, and I think it is being like this for many years as far as i remember. at least in area i'm living.
i think it's just not matter of promoters and they advertisement gimmicks, but also position of music in today's life. deep inteligent music turned into elevator music so quickly. milions of tracks on internet waiting to be downloaded, then listened 1time, and moved to a bin. no strong relationship how it used to be when you could buy music on physical medium.
one more fact to mention. when i am reading artist's biography it seems like we have at least hundreds or thousands leaders of the industry, the bests of the best, with thousands of releases no-one listens to, but looks nice in bio. not enough selfreflection, maybe?

Don't think it'll kill the music, just the decent stuff will stay underground. No massive paycheques/big gigs for the artists doing all the new and interesting stuff, they'll be lucky to get a cup of tea, a bacon sandwich and a pat on the back.
All the name DJs are very clever at manipulating media about themselves and getting paid very handsomely for it. To be honest, it's not worth being bitter about as it's not as if I'm forking out to see them. I've learn't my lesson travelling several hours down to London clubs just to find out it's shit.
In the end, what they do doesn't effect what I do artistically, I'll personally keep making experimantal techno stuff long after they've played many gigs to people who wern't listening anyway. They probably could play vengaboys on loop for an hour and the crowd still would've said it's the best techno they've heard.

I don't know how these people can live with themselves TBH.. I'd rather put out no records, than put out 10 records of derivative crap just to get bookings.. many around who take no pride in what they do, I guess, just wanting a cheap ticket to fame and fortune... beats me that they think making "techno" is the best way to do that...

This is bang on Vlasta & something that basically isn't going to change >> everything seems so 'throwaway' music just because it's in effect so cheap to buy .. 90p for a blinding track that is say 2 months old - which has been so deftly created & so much time has been put in >> which folk still feel they have to download it free anyways from a pirate place - pitiful really & I hate Beatport n the likes for that Originally Posted by BloodStar
Unfortunately it is a numbers game now - and every producer/DJ is trying to throw as much proverbial musical 'mud' at the wall - so that at least one tiny sliver might at least stick...
I think people will have to start forgetting about the money & start making music for the love of it >> only then will creativity transcend :mrmyagi::mrmyagi::mrmyagi:
