What state was the dance music industry in during 2003?
alexis petridis in the guardian said that dance music was in terminal decline. vinyl sales were falling, dance magazines were folding and clubs were closing. it was harder than ever to start up a label. very daunting and cut throat industry at the time. tough to get yourself out there. everything was expensive, you had to have a lot of money in the bank to start up in the dance music industry. people pushed on to do their thing though.What technological changes made an impact on dance music? What was the impact?
still playing vinyl. shift from classic djing with vinyl to digital age - laptops etc. digital music came about - tech became cheaper, acess to equipment was easier, musical production opened up to the massescould afford to make records on the laptop and get them out to people. howeveer its made music more disposable. worldwide access to music.
everybody can access and express their artistic sense. you dont have to buy a studio.
