Well there's usually two reasons, but the main one is speed - and I
don't mean the drug. Anyone who is a hardcore regular, week-in, week-out
at a club gets bored with it quicker than someone who goes every month
or so, and same applies to scenemakers and DJs (I know that when I was
DJing weekly I'd be bored of playing the same tune before people were
bored of hearing the same tune). And mainstream culture has a lot more
inertia on top of that too.
The second reason is, pure and simple, losing control when the money-men
come in.
