I think about 8 months to 1 year.
I had someone today say to me 'Pandora is quite a chavvy rave' which reminded me of the days when people would say exactly the same about Sidewinder - than a few years later they're raving to exactly same music, but just in a different surroundings accompanied with a diluted vibe.

Yeah, guys like Brackles n Pinch explore the sounds because they hold a genuine interest , however, there are a lot of people who like to eat bread that they didnt bake.
I expect a few to crop up within the next few months.
Will be interesting.

Nowt up with that bruh!
From when someone appreciates the actual music then it's all fucking good in my opinion.
What this scene doesnt need, which is the problem in the 'generic house' scene (especially in Bristol) is it turning into a playground' for md'ed up socialites who go because they apparently 'fuckin luv deep house!'

Nope.
You must have seen my various rants on Facebook, I domt wanna bring my fury to Dissensus too lol.
It's a problem though most definately.
In all honesty, music is to be enjoyed by everyone right, so it shouldnt be a huge problem, but my beef with what Redbull do at Bristol carnival is the fact they dont put fuck al on that the locals would like to see. (I.e hip hop, baahment, the house they like, etc etc) .
This is an issue for outside of this thread though, I dont wanna bore anyone, most of my freinds think I cracked up due to it lol.

this is kind of a hot topic atm, depends how literal u wanna go
last week 1xtra dropped a powerlist basically pandering to the kind of thing you're talking about, which couldn't have come at a worse time because a couple weeks before that the guy from bloc party write a letter on the state of black british music and blamed 1xtra and capital, as if this wasn't enough there's also an article called the house disclosure built which addresses the issues above in more depth and less coherency
they can all be found on thump subsidary of vice, and your mileage may vary, mine certainly did on that third article
just googled it again and elijah dropped his 2 cents on the issue
gets kind of funny at the end with the reporter totally missing the point

gentrification does need some very serious, and most importantly realistic viewpoints, imagine a pub called job centre recently opened on deptford high st
but ye that thing about the coronet doesn't sound promising, no65s future is still undecided atm as well

The gentrification of East London seems like an almost totally overlooked aspect of UK dance music for these last 10 years. I think the effect of the gentrification on the music itself is likely to be super complex and even more complicated by the fact that East London, the epicentre of UK dance music, was being flooded with white, middle class, uni educated media types at the same time as the internet was totally reshaping the very notion of what locality and locally situated music meant. People from America making UK bass etc. But surely there's got to be some relation between the fact East London was getting flooded with white students who were good with computers, and Joy Orbison lol.
That said, the idea of an untouched authentic culture being taken over by an outside force is a bit neat. Loads of the Deep Tech guys have clothing sponsorships, there's no sense of 'more underground than tho' when it comes to getting promotion from Mixmag, or running events at Ministry of Sound. What does a 'mainstream' dance music event look like in the UK today? Would any of those parties pull a bigger crowd than Audio Rehab?

This is all interesting to read, and certainly plays on my mind with regard to deep tech and dance music in general. Of course, I'm one of those white middle class "hipsters" currently planning to move to East LDN so I'm perhaps on shaky ground talking about it. Going to Frequency the other night did make me wonder if what's happening to London club music is what is happening to London itself, socially and economically. Which is go say, the real London music, like the real London people (I.e. natives of) is being pushed out of the centre.
Frequency was certainly one of the only nights I've reached in London for a long time that was a) outside zone 1/2 and (b) full of native Londoners (black, white, Asian etc.).
I think even leaving aside class and racial differences in audiences, the effect of gentrification will slowly strangle clubbing in central LDN due to noise restrictions. Central London is slowly and tragically turning into a playground for the rich/bourgeois.

cpl of dismissive comments in the facebook news story for that article brah. why i can't see the fact mag bunch/post dubstep crowd whatever the fuck latching on to deeptech to take the plaudits as you suggest. lot of people been against this scene from the start; shit dancing, derivative house music, raves too 'chavvy' now...haha
big up pinch and brackles though. scanned through brackles' rinse shows, playing plenty of bangers. and that tune of his 'vunerable' is more of the same too
know lot of you will have seen this, but for the rest, hugo's come through with style wars vol. 2. vol. 1's been a fav of mine this year but this one blows it out the water. watch out for the tune 13 mins in, by the time the kick comes back in you've already lost your shit

link to the facebook news story?
i hear what you're saying but tbh all you've gotta do is read this thread to see the 180. not exactly uncommon in music.
i wanna go to see this stil, with any luck its totally horrible and people won't even think about taking notice for another 16 months.

Its a bit of a dilemma because on the one hand I think this scene and the DJs and producers in it deserve exposure but OTOH obviously part of what makes this such exciting music and parties is that its been bubbling in the underground, unnoticed and unmolested by the dance media. Now having been to frequency I'm feeling (without entitlement) covetous towards it; I want there to be as many parties as possible before it becomes too trendy.
One thing I think dtech has in its favour if it does become hipsters choice is all the DJs and producers and labels are so powerfully established already it would be hard for johnny come latelys to take advantage. The lack of media exposure has allowed the scene to grow and establish itself on its own terms. Least as far as I can tell.

really really well summed up
