...Old Skool Jams has gotten me through many a work day.
Anyway on the globalization subject I also think its because the "techno" (what ever the hell you wanna call it:) community is smaller, more intertwined.
A DJ gets a white label from his own or a friend,plays it out, it gets heard and people go the next and start asking for it or the said DJ passes some whites around. Word of mouth travels fast, even faster if he's given copies to his buddys who are traveling/playing it more at diff't venues around the globe. Then you count in that you are dealing with less label and distribution hoopla because the sources are smaller and are therefore going to be able to respond to the audience faster. With any top radio format I just think there's more hoops to jump through and also less of a language barrie with techno than hip-hop where alot of the phrases and slangs might not translate.
...just a thought. diana ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
