why are some of the bigger uk labels so poor?

figures i say something that makes total sense and no one wants to take action just bitch and moan

Easy... I agree with ya matey :) Underground techno doesn't appeal to everybody, and just because it doesn't it doesn't mean that those people don't have a good taste in music. It just means that they probably think allong the same lines as we do, but it in no way is an excuse for us to be snobbish and arrogant towards them. Techno elitism is something that has corrupted what techno stood for in the beginning. It follows the same mindset as racism and religious fanatism... The idea that because of a small difference one group of people are somehow elevated in thier existance than another. It's ugly and has no place in this community.

PLUR!!!!!! :lol:

[dirty_bass]

Ahh yes, but without ugliness, beauty would mean nothing.

[danielmarshall]

No. There's enough ugliness in the world... Dance music gives me an escape from that and I see no need to spoil it.

well actually i think you could find that the reason behind intec being a bit on the cheesy side is because their label manager (jon rundell) is in fact a happy hardhouse/dance/style/nrg (or whatever it have being called this week), who even plays at tidy trax weekender events. those guys seem have to like their techno lately on this forum too. not to mention any names, but i think you know who you all are ;)
and here is the proof too for you guys

Speak for yourself mate.

Techno is fantastic, and I'll defend it against anybody that says otherwise, but I'm not going to fling sh!t at music I don't understand or enjoy. Passionate yes, snobbish no.

By rideculing people who into other forms of music you just reduce the likelyhood of them giving your music a go. If you were really passionate about getting techno out there and recognised for what it is and not so concerned with keeping the old boys club under lock and key you'd probably enjoy it allot more too.
