A)Of course there will be an excess of producers, it's quite a few folks dreams to produce there own music and have some nutters jump about the dancefloor to it.
As for having no clue, are they meant to just pick up a copy of 'how to make astoundingly good techno' from the library and hey presto, your a god damn techno genius. As you know, it doesn't quite work like that. You'll always be letting yourself away with things that you shouldn't. It is your track after all and its a gradual learning process.
B)They will all be trying to get released on labels, throwing their latest attempt out and seeing what response they get. They obviously don't think to themselves 'that could be ten times better, i better work on that some more' because in their eyes, the track is complete.
I would blame the labels for releasing shite, not the producer, who obviously thinks its a belter of a track and will be flattered by the thought that someone else thinks it is good enough to be pressed and do it for them.
C)No i haven't seen any 8 year olds selling lemonade of late, there mostly out smashing stuff up and smoking crack (Joke) :lol:

We'll never have a perfect indusrty, but as long as theres a few folk out there doing thinks right. Other folk can learn and hopefully make things a little better.
