@DJScottGarcia@wearefoor@djredhot You've only got to look at house or dnb where you will struggle to find old music being played as they embrace the new. Garage is stuck in a rut and it may well be moving in the right direction but it's miles behind.
@DJScottGarcia@wearefoor@djredhot I would say they are both. Garage is definitely fractured. I've seen first hand people get taken advantage of by oldskool guys in the hope of getting booked to play for free or be a driver. That's not to say there aren't new guys doing great stuff .......
@DJScottGarcia@djredhot Like I said mate, you are in a way better position of influence than I could ever be. Lead from the front and if I can be of assistance in any way then I would love to help
@DJScottGarcia@djredhot I'm just telling you my personal experience, I don't need you to agree with it. I really hope you can make a difference, you are in a way better position than we ever were to begin with. I'd love to help if I can
@DJScottGarcia@djredhot No at all mate, I got to a point in my life where I had to prioritize. I had to focus on my business and providing for my family. Music was costing me too much money.
@DJScottGarcia@djredhot Of course one event wouldn't change a scene and that event cost me a fortune ๐คฃ๐คฃ we pushed for a long time. We guested on rinse, had a regular show on reprezent, held rooms at garage nation. If anything we got shit reception from "legends" like they felt threatened almost
@DJScottGarcia I even put on a night of 100% new garage with a killer line up of new djs including @djredhot & MOAD and no one was interested. Shame really
@DJScottGarcia Because people wanted the same old names playing the same 20year old tunes all night. Things are certainly a little different now but still a long way to go
