Another ridulous thing is the fact that EAR have made arbitrary exceptions to the new rule cos the artists in question have supposedly paid their dues to the American scene - I don't understand why Rachmad and Ferreira are deemed to have paid enough tribute and not others.

It's extremely unfair, as it means that the flow of money tends to be from the Europe to the US. More Europeans are buying American records and paying to see American DJs than Americans are buying European records or seeing European DJs, if that makes sense. Obviously that doesn't trouble me - only a knuckle- dragging, mouth-breathing throwback would rail against Europe "insourcing" techno artists from the US and try to adopt a policy whereby European clubs should only book European DJs. It's the ideal way to nurture an insular and inbred scene. Another funny thought - what if a DJ on the E.A.R. roster played or charted a record by a European artist? Would they get dropped?
