Just reading the the discoverers/ breakers thread and picking up on a point raised by Dthedrug. i.e Focal Point for the scene..
Bear with me.
When I first began my career we could go to a local club almost every night of the week, then at the Weekend off to the BIG Allnighter/Club- I'll start with Wigan, cos that was my first..-Torch, Mecca, whatever, for the full tribal gathering.
Sounds that were big at a local level were brought along for the DJs to play and sometimes, went on to become big at the large venue and of course these had there own plays too....
So could this happen again ?
The scene, for want of a better term is so fragmented with a thousand and 1 dos on all over the weekend that a BIG venue probably wouldn't work,
Would you go out in the week, or are we all too old and knackered ?
Would you go to a big gathering on a weekly/ fortnightly/monthly basis. ??
Would you only go if you were DJing ??
No plans here, just musing...
