That's the way it is though. Some places are good for that music, and you have to accept it. It's musical economics as it were. If you want to get noticed, go and live in a place where you will be heard.
Jeff Mills is the best example of this. -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Dickinson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 02 May 2008 10:27 To: Martin Dust Cc: 313 Mailing List Subject: Re: (313) Easiest way to start a (313) argument - the Richie Hawtin RA Podcast Yeah, true. If your talking about London, Berlin or other major cities for electronic music. There you have enough people into it that you can still do kind of niche things and find people who like the same stuff as you. I'm talking about Copenhagen. It's really, really hard here sometimes. Event though you try your hardest and do all the right things with regards to promotion etc. Some of the artists that have played to an empty club is pretty mindbogling, ha ha. 2008/5/2 Martin Dust <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > On 2 May 2008, at 10:10, Matthew Dickinson wrote: > > > > I get what both of you are saying... but where I'm at it's REALLY > > frustrating that most people don't seem to have much personal taste > > but instead just follow the trends.
