In NY and Miami the house music is usually spun in a way that it becomes so universal, the mixing of vocals and beats and drums, funk, etc all into one. It’s done in a way that normal socialite kind of people accept it as part of their main stream. People go out and party and the music adds the dimension that gives a place that would otherwise be just like any other, it’s edge. For most other places I have been, house music is only for a fringe part of the people in the social scene. You say to someone that you like house music, and they automatically think glo sticks and wordless mindless beats. Where I’m from, house music is the backdrop for the most sought after scene by people from I-bankers and lawyers to pizza delivery guys and school teachers (ok well maybe not that many school teachers). So many other places though it is a really weak scene, and a big reason why is that so many people (DJ’s and others) don’t get it and settle for this crap that gets played.

Anyway I just moved to Singapore to work about a week ago and so far I have experienced the same weak DJ experience I have had previously in SEA and other places. I guess I just felt like venting. Anyway if you do know of any decent scene here please give me the heads up, it would be greatly appreciated.
