I think what the column doesn't do enough of is separate the griping about how the music is made and where the scene is going (tiresome bullshit which shouldn't be given the time of day), and the real and new economic difficulties which the scene is running into (which have even more of an impact on niche genres like techno than on the industry as a whole). Though it's not as if I have any ideas on the latter anyway, dance has done such a stellar job of adapting to the internet that if it's still suffering, I'm not sure how it can reverse that.
