Subject: Re: (313) mad mike interview link
he makes some interesting points about why dance music is dada in states. i would not have considered blaming european labels for the failure of house/techno to take hold in america.
It's a good point, given enough time for it to grow and with the support would the outcome have been different? See the Grime scene in the UK....
if house/techno had not exploded in uk/europe when it did, and the artists had stayed in their home towns, would the situation be radically different today? or was it always destined to be marginalised?
We'll never know...so you could talk about it until the cows come home.
if the likes of virgin had made a concerted effort to market the music in america, would it have more of a following now? was this http://www.discogs.com/release/65112 released in the states?
Or without Neil would we be looking at a different scene completely?
