I think a lot of my feelings for it are due to a battle against DJ culture. It seems that things are really set up for this in most of the venues I play, and that can make a big effort seem even bigger. When you find the stage has been replaced with a two turntables and a mixer, you can't help but read the writing on that wall. I never used to feel like this before, but I was doing a different type of music. I think if I was doing a different schtick, I'd be at different venues. I didn't feel bad when I do shows at a local place called 21 Grand. Why? Because it's totally geared for new and different music. I guess I'm just saying, "why am I battling this genera's (some call IDM) culture and infrastructure?" Maybe I'm just going for the wrong venues. Jon El Bizri would be the closest person on the list to myself in terms of what we're trying to do that I know. Jon? I'd love to hear his words on this topic.
