those are good points. I suppose my wish is that DJs could work on keeping a
balance so stuff doesn't sound tired, no matter how old or new it is. It's our
own fault this stuff is overplayed. I know it's hard to do, but gosh there is
SO much good music to pick from that surely there isn't the need to play the
same stuff constantly or jump the bandwagon of whatever trend is happening.
it's all just a big wheel anyways ... what's old is new, etc.
LOL @ the reasons why not to goth/ind club - I have to say I was surprised a
few years back when I went to a club, in their basement area - which was
supposed to be the dungeon - super-cool music, etc. and someone was playing a
trance anthem from Chicane or similar! I found it hilarious seeing guys in
combat books and leather jackets dancing to that. The mood was later restored
with some KMFDM.
I've always felt detroit style techno would work well in this scene.
