This is the issue with the Richie Hawtin @ Gatecrasher thing. It seems kind of hypocritical to criticise the mainstream for being too sterile, yet as soon as they take an interest in "our" music, we're up in arms. I think a lot of people think of our music as if it is our "child" so to speak. We diss them nasty, good-for-nothing kids outside for their behaviour and don't want our kid playing with them (I know it sounds kinda stupid but...). The only way to resolve this issue IMO is for the mainstream to change so that the music industry isn't a world of superstars and underground music and stuff. People need to be allowed to like what they like, not what is said to be "cool". We might give the other kids a chance if they were willing to change. Places like Gatecrasher need to stop bringing in dj's that they know will sell and bring some real music in. Not just techno either the whole system is wrong at the moment.
