That would be up to the individual I guess. I count mainstream cheese and stuff from the 80s and 90s, like Aha and the Spice girls...

It becomes mainstream when it starts getting played on the radio or it appears in the pop charts, hardcore music types would call mainstream anything played on the radio weather it's pop or on a specialist show e.g. Pete tong.

If any of the current totally commercial dj's played spice girls et al, would the crowd, by and large even notice or care?

My fave dj for years, Danny T, is probably commercial in the eyes of the hardcore dance scene ppl, but he has a genuine passion for the music imho. He has gone through hormonal stages but ultimately loves the genre for it's roots, and could have surely 'sold out' many times through his career?

I to love danny t, from groove jet Miami and since, but I don't agree he "could have sold out anytime" it's not easy to write a hit record, many try all the time and never manage it. Some do it but never manage to repeat it. If they could do it almost all would do it and take the money. The reality is you have to be good at it and very very lucky. We all know a hit record doesnt have to be an amazing musical peice but it does need to be a hit.To be honest even without music being made once a dj is making more than an average wage for spinning then he has commercialized his work, and why not.
 
Fed up with all this musical snobbery and elitism in house....

Although I agree with some of what is said about the current state of play, it's not any of our place to judge. Just let them get on with it we'll do our thing...

If it's for a good cause then who are we to judge...

Exactly.

I was thinking about this on the way to work today. It really pisses me off when people slag other peoples tastes off. Its all hoarses for courses at the end of the day, if we all liked the same thing the world would be so f***ing boring. So yeah there are mainstream commercial Dj's that preople love, then there are the underground Dj's that other prople love, it doesnt make on or the other right or wrong, and it certainly doesnt make one Dj a bellend and the other not.

Lets all just live in peace FFS. 8)

Agree with Alphonse and the others.

Each to their own when it comes to house, while I wouldn't go to see Guetta for the money he charges (in pacha) I can see his place in the current scene and good luck to him.

Funnily enough he's just been added to the Monegros desert festival line-up and all i'm seeing in the spanish clubbing forums is complete outrage seeing as it's supposed to be a techno festival.

Just don't see him if and that's it. And if he plays to 10 people they know not book him next time.
 
Does anyone know how you know if you bought one of the first 500 ticket to the Fri gig?

Me & a friends bought tickets separately

PM James or perhaps Grego and they should be able to help.

Incidentally, are you named after the Swedish DJ/producer or the North London Housing Estate?
