’tis not the land of the free when it comes to ‘raves’, as EDM events have become tagged in American media. (i.e. The RAVE act, & numerous other efforts being put forth to quell our freedom to assemble & our freedom of expression) & the Chicago nightclub stampede has cast all promoters & club owners under a very big microscope…. & PLUR, the very basis on which the American scene was built, is now synonomous w/ drug culture according to law enforcement…. (albeit these days ‘PLUR’ is beginning to sound like ‘groovy’..lol)
I agree that $30,000 is steep for an overseas headliner. But the reason promoters book these DJs is BECAUSE people (Americans) go see them.
I have seen many venues filled to capacity for American headliners.
Nobody needs to get angry here. The site above is based in America, kept up by an American. It’s a mockery site. Apparently, this person has chosen to portray the drugged out candy raver culture instead of EDM culture as a whole. And I’m sure you don’t think drugged-out candy ravers puddled on the floor in a mass of sweat & glitter are good for the scene.
As for Americans & ‘all our money’…. statements like that are why the rest of the world thinks we’re pompous. I don’t have a lot of money. I don’t feel that America’s immense wealth has really provided a plush life for me personally, so I don’t feel any bond w/ ‘America’s money’
