I don't feel that electronic music has to stand on the back of urban artists or anyone else to be recognized. It's great music.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think for us up-and-coming artists, once you're out there, once you've put stuff up, once people know who you are, once you discover who you are, we're all in the same boat: it's down to whether people appreciate the music or not.
There's no platform for an unsigned music scene in the main cities - it's all hyped acts or showcases behind closed doors. I read about artists that are doing it 'the old-fashioned way' and touring, as if that's a unique thing to do - well, that should just be the way it is.
A lot of very popular mainstream artists are products of record companies and marketing companies, and any time anyone can stand outside of that, that's interesting.
People are people, and I get a bit annoyed that the music business only focuses in on the big metropolises. I find that people that don't live in big cities are just as likely to enjoy music as people that do live in big cities.
If anything, a lot of electronic music is music that no one listens to at home, hardly. It's really only to be heard when everyone's out enjoying it.
I've been a fan of electronic music since the beginning.
I really didn't try to make an effort to make urban music, but I am a product of my inspirations.
It really surprises me that people in this day and age still write such busy music and fill up every space with layer upon layer of sound... it's like musical landfill.
Instrumental music is increasingly marginalized and there's just no outlet, there's no venue for it, in terms of media.
Great music is great music. It doesn't matter what genre it belongs.
