AT THIS POINT I’M absolutely lost with the direction of dance music. It’s at an all time high as far as the fanbase is under the umbrella of EDM, but at an all time low as far as quality and genuine appreciation. I feel and hope things will come full circle back to the underground mentality sooner than later. Quality always prevails to the heads as they take the time to do their homework and they’re into the music for the love and not the trendiness of the scene.
