[QUOTE="siman91, post: 821416, member: 755"] [b]Oldskool IS dead[/b] Fortunately I think our music scene is prety much dead to the commercial market. Firstly I hate the phrase 'Oldskool' created by money men and the large labels so it is salable to the kids. So far as I see it, most of the majors have walked away from the house scene (house being the genre as a whole inc jungle/hardcore/techno etc because that is where it started) as the money is no longer there. The music scene is alive and well with tracks being produced all over the place but not with formal releases therefore meaning there is no money in it. The only money at the moment seems to be for remixes of main stream artists work. The main difference is that the vibe has gone. In late 80's I used to get realy excited about going out, being underground, different and a bit naughty. This continued until about late 93 when money took over and things like glam house and super clubs started up. I would go out due to a love for the music, people and atmosphere, that died in 93! I have accepted that my continued love for early house music makes me a slightly strange character to the main stream. I still buy records, use record decks, listen and love music produced on Atari ST's and very early production equipment 303's, 808's etc. I find depth and feeling in beeps and acid and realy cant stand current music or much after 93 realy. Technology and money killed my scene and created a monster for the kids and large labels. Yep nearly all parties are now retro nights (or have a retro room at least) meaning most promoters are looking back rather than forwards. The first party I went to with a retro room was an amazing big top at World Dance August 1992 with Trevor Fung etc....even then people were looking back thinking things were better then and trying to relive yesteryear. Admit it everybody, the scene as we knew it IS dead however we all live in hope that our love for the music keeps an underground scene alive and well. Not a bad thing realy S;) ps just look how good the World Dance night was.......great memories. Also not 1 of the Kent ticket outlets (record shops) are still going!!
