The allure of popularity

When I first got involved in the electronic dance music scene around 1992, every event I attended was saturated with music I had never heard before. As I got more educated with the material, I would be able to pick out a few tracks here and there. But, the dj's always pushed new, hard to find, or unreleased material. Being the first to play a great cut for an audience was a sort of honor and privilege.

This was the mentality that inspired me to create custom exclusive tracks for djs. Not only is it hard to find, It's impossible to find. It's a secret weapon that only one person has access to. I thought dj's would be all over this, and soon I'd have so many requests that I couldn't fill them all.

I realize now that nowadays, in most cases, this is completely backwards. They want to play songs that everyone knows. Or, they are pushing some record label's agenda on everyone. "Oh, I know the words! I can sing along! It's my favorite song." - CRAP

It's just another product of the broken failure of mass market pop culture brainwashing. If you want to hear the same thing over and over again, please don't go out any more. Just stay home with your ipod that has 1 track on it. The world will be a better place.
