For me one of the single biggest issues in America is how white ppl live in the city until they have a kid. Once this happens it is 100% socially acceptable with no further reason needed to move to the burbs for “a good school district”. Zero whites question this logic.

Weird seeing ppl suddenly realize how good theo parrish is as a dj from watching some minute long video clip. He’s been doing this same thing for over 20 years and there have been lots of his mixes and videos of them around for a loooong time.

The thing I think a lot of dance music journalists, media, and institutions have fucked up is this: they approach Black dance music as some thing that is like some quota that needs to be filled for booking lineups or releasing music.

I hope everybody is prepared for there to be zero price paid by any of the plague rave DJs, promoters, and venues. Because the general public is full of fucking morons. This is what happens when you cease being underground and try to cater to the lowest common denominator.

All the plague rave DJs have agents who made that happen for them. And those agents represent your fav non-plague DJ too. And these are the agency rosters that dominate festivals.
So keep this in mind when you continue giving your money to these clowns.

I should never argue with idiots on the internet but there are literally thousands of indie label disco songs that STILL GET PLAYED TODAY in clubs all over the world. You’ve never heard of them, but you think a 7 CD comp is gonna handle that for you? Lol. It’s comical.

To the tune of Underground Resistance “Transition”
If you never get any replies from clubs when asking them for a booking then ask yourself the following questions: am I, as an artist, experienced enough to play at the venue where I'm asking for a booking? Or am I maybe still too much of a newcomer?

So apparently you can be a total clown, play terrible music so badly, be fucked up on drugs to the point that you can’t walk and you will keep getting good dj gigs.
But if you have a negative attitude towards clownery like that, you will essentially be blacklisted.

I remember when ppl gave me shit about going after “J*ckmaster” who blew up as a white dance DJ using a name synonymous with a black artist from Chicago. I guess that guy already cancelled himself but I wouldn’t mind seeing him change his name too.

I love soulful house music and all kinds of other substyles, but deep down inside I am all about early Omar S, Basic Channel, Theo Parrish, Dance Mania, etc, funky ass minimal deep music that has a harder edge with some experimentation. Music like this is hard to come by in 2021.

I write record reviews pretty much monthly. I don’t really solicit promos nor do I use PR/promo services. I buy records I like and then I let people know about them. This always seemed like the way reviews should go to me.

Trusting the audience score seems like a nonstarter after you read some of the audience’s reviews.

This would be a hot take only if you don’t have ears
Many of the early house & techno records made in Detroit, Chicago and New York are so much better than most of the stuff that has been released in the past few years.

I think the underground dance music and hip-hop that we all grew up on and love will be seen historically as pre-gentrification era urban music. Made when broke people from a city could still afford to make music and perform music in repurposed industrial/commercial spaces.

For them it is approached from outside, something they pick and choose what is useful for them from and ignore the rest. But the reality is that Black dance music is its own culture and scene. It isn’t waiting around to be “discovered” and taken from.

Dislike DJs, festivals, labels, etc for being trash, not for not playing Black music or booking Black artists. There’s tons of overlap here. But if they were wack when booking white DJs and playing white music.... why are they suddenly gonna decide to be better?

If I only know “techno and house are black music” from looking at what you post on social media but not from listening to your DJ sets, you are part of the problem.

It’s so weird to me how periodically that video of Theo Parrish playing “brighter days” blows up.
For those not paying attention, this guy has been the best DJ on the planet for the last two decades or more. He always plays like his hair is on fire. It’s what he does.

I’m not gonna lie... most of the shit that gets sold as “techno” in 2020 is horrible fucking trash that should never exist. Real techno is still incredible sounding and is still made by a small handful of people who think differently. THIS IS HOW IT ALWAYS WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE.

It’s important to remember that all these white artists changing names and the dance media that are scrambling to cover Black music and hire Black writers etc this shit is not news to them. Ppl were talking about this 5, 10, 15, 20 yrs ago. Only now do they really feel pressure.

It is also frustrating that nothing so far has come out of Black dance music in terms of representing itself on an international level within media so others can see what all it has to offer, but also considering how these things can easily become coopted maybe it isn’t bad.
