LavenderMenace Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 The Hague declares war on Gigolo (9/3) Today the complete The Hague underground removed their websites. The websites of Murder Capital, Viewlexx, Bunker, Global Darkness and Hotmix all have the same statement on-line. In this statement they refer to mainstream labels as a two-faced hydra that tries to assimilate electro. The statement holds DJ Hell and his Gigolo label responsible for "the carefully created eighties retro fad" as they write: "the jaded cynicism or the poser attitude of the fake Gigolos who only sell their asses to the masses. You can all follow your leader into the electroclash HELL!"Read the full statement hereText taken from the Global Darkness, Bunker, Viewlexx and Mudercapital websites:Electro. Mediocrity has become the norm, the passion has been killed. Pretentious wannabe rockstars with inflated egos rule the mediawaves, cheap imitation clones with clown make-up on their faces rape the style, hyped up labels capitalize on it through slique A&R fistpuppets and mainstream culture - that two faced hydra - tries to assimilate it. Meanwhile white middle class consumerist kids with mohawks run around like lost chicken, eagerly lapping up the stale cum the corporate moloch spurts onto their spotty faces as their role models down another valium with a dirty brown sherry and drag themselves through the twilight of their miserable lives in front of a tv set where a video of Liquid Sky runs on repeat.NO MORE.We dont need the hollow catchphrases, the carefully created eighties retro fad, the empty music, the jaded cynicism or the poser attitude of the fake Gigolos who only sell their asses to the masses. You can all follow your leader into the electroclash HELL! The combined The Hague Underground has shut down the airwaves.http://www.murdercapital.comhttp://www.bunker-records.comhttp://www.viewlexx.nethttp://www.globaldarkness.comhttp://www.clone.nlhttp://www.hotmix.nl-----------------------------------------------------------------figured this would be right up your alley.

barvybe Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 so...mine initial thought was this:while it may suck that this is happening, it happens with EVERY type of music. always has, always will. but the people who are true to their sound can keep their integrity but doing just that: staying true to their sound. critical acclaim and being cited as an important influence often don't go hand in hand with stardom and dough.

crickket Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 <<Chirp>><<There are way better labels in this genrethan Gigolo. But Gigolo does have some great tracks>><<Chirp>><<As long as people listen to what they loveand not give a shit about popular opinions about theirgenre preferences, media hypes or fasion trends (Labels)music will retain purity. It's a personal choise what drum onedances to>><<Chirp>><<Who gives a fuck about opinions or how the peoplearound you dress anyway..shut up and enjoy the DJ>>(At least that's what I thinkMugz would have said) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatz Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 Word bug.Plus one more thing yo, ELECTROfirst of all (TRUE ELECTRO) is about as far removedfrom the NEW 80's wanna be shit that all ofWilliamsburg got into these days. HOWEVERin that light electro (and media labeled "electro-clash")is meant to be "cute" and taken lightly.In order to understand electro you have tohave a good sense of humor andKNOW that it's meant to be "tongue incheek" (How can you listen to a songremix of "Sun glasses at night" and thinkit's serious.) It's all about nostalgia and fun.All this "I WAS THERE BEFORE YOU AND I AM TRUETHIS OR THAT UNLIKE YOU POSERS" is stupidbecause in all reality if they understood the natureof this genre they would know that Nostalgia=s FUN.Everyone loves to look back and go;"Aweee remember when.." and chuckle.."White lines" in a breaks set is aperfect example of that feeling.So to all the people that take this electrothing too seriously I say chill the fuck out yo.Some of us have been listening to a mix of this and that and alittle bit of everything a looong long timeand know that fads come and go..(There was good electro before the hype and there willbe good electro after...)Mix it up.(Sven vath's set is a perfectexample of this concept..keep it funmixed and interesting and you'll see thatyou might realize that you've been dancing to soundsthat have been around for a loong loong time..you just never knew what they where called untilthey get a media spot light.)*At least that's something else I think Mugzwould have said yo~peace,BTZP.S: Those that are willingto call people posers need to getoff their self righteous high horse and shit!Music is for EVERYONE..And it is it's nature to spread out likewild fire to consume all that are in it's way.the more the merrier!*keep it real...
