Have
you ever noticed the stunning amount of situations around us where it's nothing
but… blah, blah, blah ??? People who you meet telling you about opportunities
tragically remaining unconcretized. Answering machines made for collecting your
messages to which no one's gonna answer, and the list goes on & on & on, to an
extend where you sometimes end up wondering if there's any pilot in the aircraft
and eventually if there's an aircraft… Nice words, intentions, prophecies,
principles but in most of the cases, nothing or almost nothing in terms of acts...
That's the way life (house) goes…
Another 5 weeks on and we're gonna be for
another round in Miami right in the middle of the biggest concentration of house
activists in the world. But what for ? Seing faces fighting for supremacy in the
following months to come with no bigger exchange than the one of having plastics
going from one hand to another and this looks like pretty much going to be about
it when so many things would have to be expressed, shared and subsequently done
for a better understanding then running of the whole system. But is this the
point anymore ? Not to say has this ever been the point ???
At least, if one thing is for sure, it's
the fact that this hasn't been WMC's one anymore for quite a while. In fact,
since the time they left the Fontainebleau-Hilton for some other locations,
having none of them replacing it in terms of accuracy for meeting place. An
evidence which, no doubt, is no stranger to today's situation where you find
labels, pools, groups of people doing each their mini Conferences at the four
corners of Miami Beach and this at the same time as if it wasn't enough !!!
I've gotta say, ready to go for what's
going be my 10th consecutive year over there, that I've found the situation more
ironical from a year to another even though I'm not too surprised about such a
feeling… At the end of the day, it's nothing but the translation, on a bigger
scale, of what's currently happening as far as humanity is concerned with all
these internal divisions instead of having us deeply involved in searching paths
to be united and, subsequently stronger. As if most of the scene's actors had
cruelly admitted that there was no alternative to what we're living, or should I
say to what we're currently trying to survive to !
I personaly tend to think far differently,
telling myself that we probably have never had so many performant means to
communicate with each other than today. And I guess it's pretty much the case of
David Prince, the man responsible of the launch of the M3 Summit
with who we've come to an agreement to collaborate as official online partner…
This said, let's not forget, although we're
passionated (and I speak for the vast amount of people visiting our type of
resources on a daily basis), that house music is an auto proclamed underground
movement. This explainig why at some point it may seem so hard for it to see
exactly where the light is. As if being stucked on that situation for so many
years had progressively become reassuring as opposed to show its many face(s)
under the light… MFSB
