Dip in Music Quality

Some decent gear in fairness:

When this happens to me its because I’ve followed habits that take me down certain rabbit holes, excluding what else there is. I take a break from it and try other angles when I feel inspired to.

That said, if I were a good producer I’d be holding off releasing my club rinsers until after the pandemic. I know so many good artists who are throwing out beefy 1am driving progressive tracks when its all not so relevant with us being unable to hear them in clubs - the sales can’t be great for them unlike lighter stuff that sounds great whether club-rig-loud or relatively quiet on a couple of home speakers. That’s just my opinion.

Maybe some of the artists are holding back now?

Ive noticed a bit of a dip recently, agreeing with the points already mentioned.

When lockdown happened and all the Bunkers started kicking off, I thought the quality was superb. There were so many wicked tracks being played, cross genre. Then as time went on I saw the quality wane to a degree.

Motivation and drivers must be tough for producers. After what Sunak said yesterday, advising musicians to get other jobs, I can see some packing it in for a while and doing another job to bring in the coin. Its a very concerning period for the industry as a whole. I hate buying into conspiracy theories, but would the UK Govt be that fussed if Clubs/Festivals wound up and ended up in the shit heap of old industries…like Travel Agents and Blockbusters? Do Gen Y/Z’rs really care about “rave culture” enough to support it ? Have tastes changed to such a degree Covid may have accelerated the scene’s demise? Tik Tok vs Ben Klock?

The next 12 months are going to be tough for the scene IMO
