Allow these old skool nights

[Paul Rose]

FAO: promoters. Please dispense with the current glut of "old skool" nightsl it's not good for the scene or the music. By all means put on 4/4 nights or nights that have a "no-grime" music policy, but calling it "old skool" is just going to deter producers from making new music influenced by old style ukg. The music is coming back: Qualifide, El Tuff, Mr Bumpy etc etc. Allow this bull$$$$ "old skool" label and we might get some more of it!

I didn't say that old skool nights weren't popular. Unfortunately, people need to be spoon fed new music, so loads of nights advertising old stuff isn't productive.

Old skool is old skool, there will always be more new skool. If people want to live in the past then so be it, I for one live in the future, and when I go out I expect to hear something new, not old.

As a producer it's all about pioneeering new sounds, not going back on the has been. As a mature raver i'm expected to like oldskool nights, and to degree I do, but when evryone talks about oldskool, I just have to bury my head. Oldskool is old, new skool is new, if you dont like the new start producing the new.

I go back as far as SunCity 1997(Adrenalin Village, with Booker T, Grant Nelson, Francis'Badboy' James,Mattjam). Yeah it was great!, but come on, move on, and stop dwelling.

There's not enough new 4/4 which is decent and can fill a night - once there actually develops a large enough set of productions that can give a night variety, people will start looking to the new stuff.

[crackfiend]

ppl like old skool nights, if established promoters turn their backs on old skool nights it will will create a gap in the market that sum1 else will simply fill with a new old skool promotion.

[BREAKER]

Trilogy I agree with your point 99%

[Dj^Silk]

i agree. there is some really influencial 4/4 coming back in at the moment. its nothing like old skool but its almost as good in a way. no grime just pure vibes. i think 2003 will be the year garage changes big time.

There's nothing wrong with old skool nites- the tunes played tend to bring back fond memories & it's nice to hear tunes u used to love back in the day and forgot about/never hear anymore.

Some of the people who are raving now were too young to rave back when the old skool stuff was doing the rounds 1st time, so it's nice for us to be able to experience those tunes at a rave.

Just coz we like to rave to the older stuff now and again & to bring back fond memories doesnt mean we're living in the past and closed to the new music that's around now.
