You're right to point out the success of Naked.
Yep, Frankie won a Grammy but stopped doing the mixes as he was sick of
dealing with AR fools who tried to tell him what to do, apparently. Morales
did well to remix Mariah. He got a Grammy too.
But there's heaps of major label payola in US radio

I think what Kent is referring to is the mass support that hiphop receives
on the radio, on tours, on television, and the like.
I agree these could do wonders...but with the good, comes the bad, that's all.
Some recognition WOULD be nice. Minus the exploitation.

I dunno, maybe because I take it seriously as a musical form? Because
American Dance Music pretty much rules the
of wanting MTV and Hype Williams videos, it's more subtle.

I hear you on this kent.
Lansing, mi. be it not the biggest techno scene in the state, but we used to
have competing parties on saturday nights here in '99. promoters started having
a hard time getting venues, the police started cracking down, and some kids
graduated. now the scene is pretty small
Dance music is already mainstream in America, the problem with techno is it
had it's 15 minutes of fame in the early 90's.
This is how artist like Moby established a name for himself with major label
support.
Jaguar had a chance to blow up in the late 90's but DJ Rolando chose to stay
underground.
That is the general theory and it stands up - for now.
But I don't know. They said hip-hop would never catch on. Grandmaster Flash
was playing hip-hop style nine years before The Message. They used to fret
that no one got it. Nine years!
Hip-hop has changed the way people listen to music. It has
You hear the stories, Jay-Z goes to France and the kids know his
lyrics but often don't even speak English.
this is pretty common from what I've seen, anyone remember la bamba?
What ever gave people the impression that techno has even the slightest
chance
of becoming the next hip hop?
I must not be in an alternate dimension.

I'd like it to be just enough more popular that I can book people again
without losing money, but not so popular that the frat boys show up and
beat up the gay kids. Does that delimit how popular I'd like techno to

This simply isn't true. Jaguar was milked for all it was worth. It got a hell
of a lot of publicity out of the whole Sony thing, had a promo video made, and
Rolando got serious juice in terms of gigs

Well I have and, at any rate, it's not an original observation - I am

No, it's not played on Urban/ Hip-Hop radio, that's dominated by the same 15
RnB/ Hip-Hop tracks played in rotation.
American radio is segregated into different genres, you have country, Top 40
which plays a combination of rap, dance, the popular rock tunes, alternative
rock, classic rock,
