RE: two-step garage, not all of it is commercial
or obvious and it's a shame that the hype is
impacting on perceptions of the music as a whole.
I don't think anyone would knock Masters at Work for sounding commercial, so
it's hard to see why anyone could knock 2-step for the same reasons
I'm not so sure about the Wookie and MJ Cole albums -- I think
they're great
producers, but I just wish they wouldn't go the route of the hyped producer
in a new stylee showing he can take on all sorts of things *other* than
2-step. The compilations are still the perfect buzz.

With respect I don't know how people come to the assumption that certain
artists are after the money without knowing them personally or having met
them and talked to them (you may have I don't know but it doesn't sound like
it). Me and my (shy) ed found MJ unbelievably approachable out here in Jan
The techno scene in Melbourne is splintering along the neo-rave (younger,
more European-influenced) and neo-Detroit (US-influenced,
cross-generational, more club-based) crowd. I wonder if this has happened
elsewhere?

the promoters can't work together and it gets a little too personal at

the point to this is that parties with big name only work in adelaide if
promotors cover techno, nrg, dnb house... which i suppose promotes

I think that Detroit is lacking the intelligent spaces such as critical.
When a space is multi-funcional and many people come to a show (by word of
mouth) there is an inherent respect that is created and an event becomes more

Detroit Contemporary is a space on Rosa Parks where some amazing artists are
playing. Lots of abstract jazz, free noise and electronic (dub) events are
taking place there. Pole and Burnt friedman just played there a couple

I see that what you measure with is not the same as I. What you hold as
something to gauge music by are things that I do not even consider (i.e.
soul). I like to think that music is beyond these types of ideologies and
hierarchies.
