mediocrity? . I dont accept it. It just shows me how to create something new which isnt.

Do you know how many people I know who make brilliant stuff persevere and dont fall through the cracks? Take a look around. Its possible. They may be talented but its their fault they copped out not the industry's. Balls
This is the type of attitude that is causing fractions.

Why be stand offish. Why be holier than though.

Arrogance, ego and greed are the soul destroyers in this industry, and I allways thought that techno drew the most intellectualy interesting people to it, so aren`t we above this type of behaviour?

The whole system trys to beat people down, so why add to the beating. To people from your effective "tribe".

The industry will only stay this way if we let it. Times have changed and we now don`t have to deal with the coke munching suits anymore. We have our own pressing plants, distributers, mastering rooms etc. It is possible for us, in the techno scene, to illiminate the arseholes, and to deal with each other in an open way.

At least I have to believe this, cos otherwise, what is the point?
