Also, I dont think people are into Sims because he is the latest techno name, I think its more to do with the fact that he's extremely good! Cant say the same for Umek tho! Even though hes one of the best producers going. Actually whether Sims is good or bad wasn't the point I was making, more

Accusing Voodoo of being in it for the money is completely wrong. No-one promotes techno nights in the UK for the money (except maybe Atomic Jam, they're part of a large rave promotions company). Sustaining a techno night in the UK is the hardest job in the game because the market is so small -

Point taken, but remember that the Orbit went fortnightly a while back because it souldn't sustain weekly any more. And their line-ups are much more oriented towards UK DJs than they used to be, for financial reasons, I'd guess. isn't that all one needs most of the time? a good vibe, pa and
