INDAMIXWORLDWIDE.COM - The Disco to House Music Daily Update

Having this thema as the most read by you within our Politics Of Dancing section, we thought it might be interesting to get back to it almost a year and a half after its publication. And judging by the way things are happening, it seems that not that much has evolved since and if it has, it looks like something of a trick to feel fully confident about its present and its ability to reach the next stop on a brand new wagon…

Don’t get us wrong though as the point is not to turn our back on what we’ve supported since day one, then have our icons suddenly burnt the way it happened with disco 25 years ago. On top of it, I’d be very much tempted to say that if anyone has ever turned his back, it’s rather those who for some reason happen to deliver the same kinda soup again and again. Make money on others while reappropriating their works for themselves without adding an oz. of interest on them. Or simply figure that the rare dedicated medias can objectively do their job at no promo cost/efforts from the record industry… To the first of the likes, I would then say that the way they currently work has heavily contributed to the current lack of interest of the house as a whole to many people (check out an average 8 out of 10 new releases on traxsource.com and feel free to tell us whatcha think of’em !). To the second category, I would say that they’ve also very much added to the said situation. As for the third ones, I would tell them how it’s almost worthless droppin’ new releases when not using the supposed appropriate channels to promote them.

As a direct result, like already said, most of the actors have ended up being like sort of blackmailed, being in the obligation to drop new stuff as much as they can (regardless the maturity of them at the end of the day) in order to be booked in clubs where they think they make get their biggest incomes, whenever they get the chance to have some notoriety. A reality which, no doubt, has been for much on today’s global feeling of saturation and desinterest shown apart by many observers, having the real creators living hard times, while taken by absolute doubt and economically struggle. As for what concerns us here at IDMW.Com, we’ve spent loads a time, energy and money on our own promotion with a convincing result (thanks to you, our beloved visitors who within an 8 month period this year have been 10 times more in August than in July). And for this reason, we do not see how and why we would have to substitute ourselves to the people supposedly in charge of promotion while buying most of the material we’ve decided to put to your attention. And I guess I can say that this should appear as nothing but realism for a vaste majority of you.

Peace, MFSB
