A typical French proverb says : everyone sees the sunrise from its door and God
knows how sunny it is here in Miami… So question : what is house music to WMC’
and what is WMC’ to house music ?. Myself being in the middle as an observer
would like very much to say : nothing and vice versa ! On one hand, you have an
organization thas has done nuttin’ but trying to get the maximum benefits while
expanding to new niches and one the other, a scene that has probably never be in
position to take the same benefit of such an opportunity to hit a worldwide
community !
You, either
be record label execs, promoters, DJ’s may do what you want at the end of the
day, but let me tell you something between you and I : it unfortunately won’t
change anything if you keep on like this while not welcoming the ones spreading
your words the way they should be. Not asking for the red carpet to be layed
down under our feet while crossing the Ocean to honour you, but simply being
provided with the necessary infos to make our work properly and provide the ones
who’re supposed to buy your music with the appropriate info.
You, the WMC’
organizer who rather have to come back to the thing that made you who you are :
house music. Have been myself committed to a panel dedicated to the press
relation this Sunday and guess what : haven’t even heard a single fucking word
about house music during the conversation. Heard people talking about the images
of the artists and what should be done to break a record, what should be done to
reach the right people and blah blah blah, blah blah blah, but nuttin’ about the
essence of quality music and the way to act like responsible people while
choosing the appropriate words instead of searching for those tabloid stories
about sex, drugs and bullshit to respond to the selling expectations of the
media share holders !!!
Could it be
that life ain’t nothing but that system we’ve built up throughout the years ?
Don’t get me wrong folks as there’s nothing personal but the results are here,
seing the music that we all love here suffering trhe way it does while we’re
partying in Miami. Can be cool to escape for a while, for sure, but what’s the
future of house music while reacting the way we do ?
As Roy
Ayers recently said on these pages, only consistency pays up and needless to
say that we’re far away from such a situation.
Not even have
a mail box at the WMC’ HQ for the people to drop us their newies and press
releases which should be more than helpful as you may guess. The revolution
starts here… MFSB
