We could look at it this way and feel bad true, but i would rather believe in history... and know that in order for new and wonderful things to emerge in any walk of life some things must pass. its unfortunate to see this in our lifetime but just think with intelligent and compassionate music lovers like yourselves and across the globe do you honestly think that nothing neater, cooler, insanely different, and even bigger will come along? you know one thing that inspires me about house, trance, techno, and EM in general is its ability to eveolve yet still show signs of its original roots. and i feel that we as listeners of this broad genre have also developed the ability to evovle with time and technology thru thick and thin! Rest assured that as long as there's a loop of bongos and claves from 1979 being sampled into 2 step break, a techno track, a trance anthem, or a sexy, synthy house beat today, there will always be an evolving scene and music loving eccentric, beautiful people to support and find ways to keep it alive.-MUCH LOVE- Matt Spector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said, history is to serve as a reminder of past mistakes so we hopefully do not repeat the same in our future. I am firm believer that without change there can be no progress. This year should serve as a wake up call for people to get more involved..anything worth having is worth earning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet888 Posted October 2 Report Share Posted October 2 theres an old saying that every time someone important dies, someone is born that is able to fill his shoes...i have no doubt in my mind that others will step up in the future, but the real question isnt abotu the talent, its baout the talent stepping up. someone has to take it to the next level...who it will be is the uncertainty.

echoesofdusk Posted October 2 Report Share Posted October 2 I agree that it's been a gloomy year.. But the only way to look past it is by recognizing what has made a positive impact.. Many great releases and new artists have come at us this year, and not just in EDM, but in general Always good to look on the bright side of things.

I KNOW I AM A BELIEVER, how you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
