    What do you think?

    I'm curious to know just how many people can say they are truly satisfied with the quality of music that's being released nowadays. I personally feel that there is more shit thats being produced (in all genres) in the last few years than ever before.

      I agree that there still is some good quality stuff out there but there is just so much garbage being released on a daily basis that it just makes it really frustrating to spend the time on a site like beatport to sort through all the garbage.

          Really depends what style(s) of music you are talking about.
          Technology has really allowed more people to attempt to create music as well as distribute it more freely, cheaper, but there are still artists out there putting quality stuff. Music to me is somewhat generational the stuff I grew up listening for the most part will never be outdone, just personal bias, but in the dance music realm I am constantly amazed on the amount of fresh material in DJ sets or/and live. Lastly, it has always been about digging through the shite to find that hidden gem you can call your own, a track or two everyone else is overlooking that is what makes the music better as well as a DJ set.

          So white-middle class Americans have been told by their Television sets to be fearful of:

          1. Mexicans/Latinos from the South bringing drugs and killings n' shit.
          2. African Americans cause mos def they are raging a race war and want to occupy America like how the plebs occupied Wall St.
          3. Iranians/Afghans/Any one of middle eastern origin to be quite frank, cause you know Islam...
          4. North Koreans/Chinese cause you know everything...

          Am I close here?

                  You hit the nail on the head! There is still quality stuff out there but the digital age has made it easier for people with no musical talent whatsoever to produce and distribute their garbage. I kinda miss the old vinyl days. It seemed there was less trash to filter through and easier to find those hidden gems back then.

                      i wasn't digging in the old days but i suspect it was easier to find a gem and hold on to it with some exclusivity. the sheer volume results in more crap, and undoubtedly part of it is people w/ no musical training being able to produce tracks at home on a computer and distribute. still, plenty of great tracks come from unknown producers, and i'll bet it keeps seasoned vets on their toes and we're better off.

                        you all know where i stand. there really is no soul in the music anymore. they easy way out with the technology today has largely produced less-than-mediocre records. the best of what is available today is not nearly as good as the average records that were once put out a few years back. today, music is forgetable. "click-it-and-forget-it" as i say.
                        you could put an Emfire release on for 2 minutes and you would be a sleep before it finishes - Chunky

                        it's RA. they'd blow their load all over some stupid 20 minute loop of a snare if it had a quirky flange setting. - Tiddles

                          Ive been impressed with 2008 so far. 2007 was a good year for music. Many mix cds that came out were excellent, like Diggers Transitions series and Dave Seamans Therapy Sessions, as well as Steve Lawlers VIVA London and Dubfire and Nick Warren's GUs. 2006 is about where music started getting better after the horrible electro phase everyone went through, but 2007 to Now have been much better and I have enjoyed alot of current mixes and tracks. It isn't the same as the older music I love and listen to frequently, but it is a nice complement to it and there are some great tracks and mixes out in the last few years. I have also been amazed at the club nights ive gone to. Ive seen Dave Seaman, John Digweed, Danny Howells,and Sasha recently and they have all been amazing just as they always have been.

                            if you're not finding any thing good, you're not looking hard enough. it's not supposed to be easy. dig.

                              maybe i'm in the minority, but the newer sets and crazy stuff i'm finding makes the old days --nostalgic stuff that turned me on to the scene-- sound old and stale. i love this music more every day. since there's so much out there catching some great stuff makes it all the more satisfying. i actively search and it's not always easy but i love the sounds i find and have no gripes.
