Far be it from me to start harping on "keeping it real" and "tha underground"

BUT...

The fact remains that because electronica and dance are niche markets (so
far) they are for the most part separate from the larger music industry
sausage machine.  I'd like people to be able to make a living from their
music, but believe me 'mersh record companies (most of them) are base
exploiters and destroyers of talent.

The other side of the coin is this: it takes a rare individual to have more
than one or two really good tracks in them, and an even rarer one who can
remain true to their art and grow with it, rather than listen to all the
record company hacks that want to mold them into identical velveeta
unit shifters.
