There are a few house artists about, but the best music is in the past… My generation seldom get anything original, underground or revolutionary. Dubstep… crap just crap, can’t even dance to it.
You’re just being defeatist now mate… Just cos the best music isn’t in the same clubs as it used to be, and it’s harder to find, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
The Dubstep you’re being exposed to isn’t proper Dubstep as it would be known. It’s essentially the pop-ified version required to shift lots of units, same as the “House” music you hear in most clubs these days is just David Guetta making the same olf formulaic tripe. There’s plenty of quality music out there though, you just gotta search a bit harder than you used to have to.
Good music never dies, it just evloves and changes and finds new genres and sounds.
With no E, clubs are just like pubs with music.
WAY too much emphasis put on E by WAY too many people IMO. Yes, lots of people are/were taking it, but you’d also be surprised just how many people weren’t. Most of the enduring names of the genres weren’t taking drugs (some were of course, but most of them burnt out), and the drugs usually resulted in what I’d determine as “short term crowds”. That is to say those that came, tried it, liked it for 2/3/4 years, then outgrew it and the scene and don’t bother any more, cos for them going clubbing was about the drugs and not the music.
Then there’s me, and a select few, I don’t even drink much less take any drugs. Been clubbing now for the best part of 2 decades, and long may I continue to do so I hope! The difference is that for me, it’s all about the music and getting lost in that, not drugs/drink/pretty girls etc.
