I don't want to take sides on this or anything. I just wondered if hip hop is not as mainstream there or something?
Here in Chicago there are a million places to hear hip hop and not just the top 40 stuff but more underground (relatively) stuff plus tons of rare groove and funk and soul. With house it is still here, although quite a bit less, it isn't surprising to hear some deep house at all kinds of random small bars however. For techno, along with minimal, microhouse, electro (not clash) and experimental, there is very little, and almost zero Detroit style techno. The point being, for a US DJ to play hiphop is a kind of mainstream thing to do in my opinion, not that it isn't good but seems like that stuff already gets a lot of play. Of course things are different over there across the ocean. But I guess I could see how I might be disappointed if I went hoping to hear some Detroit style sounds and got hiphop which I get to hear constantly. /Dave ---------- Original Message ------------- Subject: RE: (313) 313 Weekend in London Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2003 13:48:46 +0100 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 313@hyperreal.org >That's not progression, its LAME. come back to me when you've made your contribution. either that, or spare a thought at how much effort it takes, or financial contribution to do something. undergound music is a d.i.y thing. You MUST make your contribution. We take pleasure from people around the world busting their balls to make their own little effort so that we can enjoy it and take our personal pleasure from it. Be it putting out records, or doing parties. If everyone was take take take, the whole thing would fall apart very quickly because a) they're ain't no money in it, b) it's a lot of hard work for little thanks or monetary gain. _________________________________________________________________ --------------------- End of message text -------------------- This e-mail is sent by the above named in their individual, non-business capacity and is not on behalf of PricewaterhouseCoopers.
