DJ Reality

" People and DJs get so locked into this one narrow sound and groove that they don’t want to hear anything else.
By all means, be passionate about a sound that moves you, but you’ve also got to be able to appreciate what else is out there and not close your mind off to it.
For as long as I can remember it has been like this, but I feel like it’s getting worse.
I feel like dance music was really thriving here in America 10 or 15 years ago, but right now it seems to be at its lowest point ever.
You still hear it on the radio in the UK and the rest of the world, and it still seems to be a relevant and popular sound, but in America that really isn’t the case.
It’s sad for me because this is my home.
I go out to these other countries to DJ, and see how passionate they are about this music and how they embrace it as a part of their society, and come home to the USA to hear crunk top 40 on the radio and play to empty rooms.
I for one am looking forward to watching the next wave emerge.
In a nutshell, it’s young people being united by a particular style of music.
A subculture is formed around it, with clothing styles, lingo and everything, and it becomes a movement.
America needs another unifying musical movement. "
