Hello from Detroit Ritchie. I turned 50 this year and it seems like yesterday we were partying @ the packard plant. I can’t wait until we are all sweating and dancing again.
I'm GenX, age-53, started going to raves in 1989 & proto-raves for the 3-4 years prior to the Second Summer of Love, started producing vinyl in 1994, released dozens of records from 1994 to the present on a bunch of different labels and can very much related to Richie's concerns about the imbalances in the industry As a musician, composer, arranger with a background in all the officialdom of classical & jazz education, I had no interest in ever becoming a DJ, but over time the record deals disappeared & the DJ gigs kept calling me, despite no background or interest in DJing, but I finally caved in 2007 and just took the only gigs that were available & it is GREAT to slam a big room but ultimately, it was not satisfying for me and because my earlier works were better known because of the different dynamics then, I only got these calls to DJ because I was a KNOWN Producer, but my passion has always been CREATING MUSIC, not about getting people to stroke my ego, which was never a motivation for me, so I quit DJing in 2014 or so, other than for true friends at tiny house parties with real friends When he cites how major corporations get into it for pure profits, the ethos of the community is undermined and that is also very true This is why Festival EDM scene got so vapid & shallow nearly completely disconnected from the music's origins Between 1989-1994 I saw Richie Hawtin, Juan Atkins & Cybotron doing live PA concerts in a rave setting, something you never see anymore, but I did a LOT of that too! It seems only The Prodigy ever made a real living at that thing but that used to keep the awareness of WHO made the actual MUSIC everyone is banging on the decks. Being black at a rave back then was normal, but somehow they've been put off by the current incarnation of today's Capitalist focused circuit that bears little resemblance to the revolutionary global subculture that created this scene in the first place. the community even among competitive acts, with true real personal friendships truly kept us connected to community back then, but much of that has evaporated I would love to belong to the "guild" concept he mentions around transparency, community & education which could revive what was originally so transformational about this movement. If this automated payment infrastructure they imagine would be a nice to have COVID has been good for me to work in isolation in the studio again, with that reflection time, trying to make music that matters again Learn your history. This music was birthed into the world by African Americans, queers & outcasts like me.
Yaaa from Windsor! Soo sorry for fanning out in front of your house lol! Nurse techno geek - and we have the same birthday!! Amazing to see your growth over all these years. Great interview, and similarly I believe that is true for us all...all the best!
I think ist interesting that this podcast abourt art is held in factory berlin, a company that actively tried to push out artist out of building that was a kind of collective studio building where artist could get space cheap. Factory has actevily worked against the art scene in berlin but tries to have a funky image of supporting indepence, when they do the opposite.
Buying a track for a buck on Beatport or Bandcamp thinking it gives you the right to make thousands playing it is absurd, and directly illegal in other scenes without licensing deals. This is an interesting discussion and I can really support the idea of a percentage on DJ-fees above a threshold, gig endorsement/advertising earnings, and ticket sales, going to the producers who’s music is being played on any particular event. And it should be reported automatically by a “black box” running a Shazam-like ID system to at least try to avoid manipulating reporting. Though not perfect, even something with 80% accuracy would be better than the system today. The little money producers currently make very rarely cover the cost of production, gear, software, studio time, mastering, pressing, etc etc. But they carry the synth and DAW industry as example, in addition to creating the actual music that the whole scene and industry is built on.

There is more than knowing how to mix. A DJ is a selector, he/she spends countless hours listening to music he/she wants to present. This is what makes a dj, the pay they receive is partly because of this prep. A DJ wants to move people based on those records/mp3s, you pay the dj for the ear and presenting it. There are many artists that don't get the cred they deserve, it's not on the dj to get them paid. The dj is playing thier music to a crowd that would have rarely had a chance to hear that track. how much is that worth?
One can take away from this interview a sense of taking covid-19 seriously and glad Richie has acted like a role model and not putting money before lives , still would have been nice to sample a lock down set from his back garden ? i am bored with the offerings on RUclips ?
Let me get this straight. A DJ from the past 30 years has had a duty to put on a white board or a screen what artist and track they are playing? Are you kidding me? I've hunted tracks by asking DJs and friends if they knew the track. When has Richie ever put out a tracklist after a gig to let the audience know? GTFOH

You're a label owner and you are saying you wish it was up to someone else to care for artists. Where is Magda, Heartthrob, Barem, Paco Osuna, Gaiser?
Please add spanish subtitles
It´s not RH , who talks too much..
