hugopal nawt wrong with waiting for greater minds to assist in forming your own opinions. If I were Ed, I too would want to know what techno heavy weights like Hector Oaks and Zackster had to say!

Now I understand why Sean has been DMing me asking for my OnlyFans login credentials.

zackster nawt wrong with waiting for greater minds to assist in forming your own opinions.

in Ed’s case that’s pretty much 99% of minds on the planet though.

My only takeaway from any of this is….people still read Resident Advisor?

jonattonyeah My only takeaway from any of this is….people still read Resident Advisor?

I only follow their facebook page still, mainly for the lols - pretty much everything they post nowadays is pure unadulterated shite.

Surprised they put anything out given how much time their “writers” spend smelling each others farts.

“Nah I’ve moved on from Progressive Cuddlecore - that’s so Covid. Now strictly into Jakarta’s Methodical Juke scene. I’m working on a feature.”

Maybe she can go and raise the soldiers morale

Smallman1 Dixon barely gets a mention on there nowadays which genuinely hurts.

One of the main reasons why RA closed down their annual Top DJs poll was because Dixon kept winning it.

I’d very much like to see a stray surface to air missile wipe her out when she starts doing another live PA.

jonattonyeah it’s because Dixon is a straight, white man.

The only straight, white men RA seem keen to push the interests of are its two founders.

jonattonyeah From RA’s op-ed when they shut down the poll:

"If our goal was to reflect the past year in electronic music, our 2016 DJ and Live Act polls were the culmination of a growing feeling: that the homogeneity of the results didn’t represent the diversity of the scene. Musically, they featured just a portion of the music we cover and that gets played in clubs. But that’s a comparatively trivial point. More pressingly, the DJ and Live Act lists were overwhelmingly dominated by men, mostly from the US and Europe. They didn’t represent the reality of electronic music in 2016, a scene in which countless incredibly talented women play to packed clubs each weekend. To continue running these features would be to diminish the vital contribution they make to electronic music.

It’s also important to remember that dance music is an art form born in queer communities, shaped by people of colour and populated by artists of all genders. But, simply put, this isn’t something you’d know by looking at the recent results of our polls. At best, the lists misrepresented the reality of the scene; at worst, they helped to reinforce some of its harmful power dynamics, which still favour white men above everyone else. This is reason enough to make a change. "

hugopal I’m struggling to see how RA makes any money?

jonattonyeah Jakarta’s Methodical Juke scene

lol, it is this type shit more than the avert wokeness that made me completely stop giving a shit. I have no room to talk about what is unlistenable to someone else, but still, some of the shit they were raving about was absolute insanity. It’s like “ooh good, you found a scene in The Horn of Africa that fuses the most awful bits of drum and bass, dubstep, and drill. This must be good music because of the vibrant peoples celebrating it!” It’s as if they are just daring you to say “uuh this sucks.”
