DANCE MUSIC....OKAY PHILLY, YOU ARE NEXT!

[Rockin Rob]

You do present yourself in a rather rational fashion. And yes, it does lead to spirited debate. But again, your predecessors have left us all a bad taste in our colllective mouths. It's fine that you like it, I don't and you know that and are fine with it. You have to admit these boards can be rough at times. I've been on both sides, so I can attest. Naturally, this type of subject matter is quick to get a "oh no, not again" response. In fact, for the longest time, I broadcast my hatred of dance music in my signature line. This lead to "well, look at your signature, why should we take you seriously" retorts. I can tell you us rock fans are just as passionate about our music as you are for yours. I do not pretend to represent other rockers, just an independent observer with some views similar to others.

And, back to the subject at hand, it is a niche format that, while it might pull a following, in the long run, would not work, sort of a "format du jour" (see also: Jammin Oldies - which, by the way, I enjoyed).

Well, DToTheJ did note about the "we want a dans stashun" thing there and even though I am not one of those posters, on behalf of that my sincere apologies.

And regarding the roughness of boards, let's just say that I'm used to it and being a dance music activist, the harshness is just something I've accepted as "part of the territory". And not just this board either. Heck, I've been threading on waters that have never really been dared to for YEARS! Yeah, I'll get the "you have some nerve!" or "WTF??" Some of the New York City boards have bashed my thoughts in the past too! That changed once CBS did that flip to "Jack" years ago.

We're both passionate about our favorite musical genre, and that's okay. You have your 'YSP down there and hopefully down the road, a Philly broadcaster will consider rhythmic. Regarding niche, while that might have been the preventative reason radio wouldn't touch formats like this in the past, the reality is that terrestrial radio is in BIG trouble (see Clear Channel). And to that, I think the only way they can save themselves is by going "niche". In reality when you have tunes on your digital music player, you are in fact "niching", only going for the songs you want serving your specific needs. Terrestrial radio may just have to do that.

And I'm not just saying dance either. New York doesn't have a country station and there are more country fans there than dance.

 

[Dancerev889]

Well KDM, you still have Z88.9 and Super 91.7 nearby so the situation is not that bleak.

Not really-WBZC barely comes in past the Betsy Ross Bridge, and I don't think WKDU goes by 'Super'.

Station comes in loud and clean on 95 down to the Philly airport. Sounds great on Delaware Ave and in Olde City

 

[Kris_Henderson]

Z889 WBZC comes in fine along I95 as far north as PA413 in the north till about exit 7ish on I-95. While 91.7 WMPH Comes in as far north as Exit 6 on I-95 and for the most part covering New Castle County from the C&D canal north.

I'll have to check when I'm in a car. Usually a search yields neither signal. Indoors in South Philly I get WKDU @ 91.7. So, for the casual listener in Philadelphia who is not actively looking for either: not found.

DANCE MUSIC BITES THE DUST---IT DOESN'T SELL --IT DOESN'T DRAW AN AUDIENCE---IT'S A FLOP. INCIDENTLY , THE OLD WCAU-FM DID TRY DANCE---THEY CALLED THEIR FORMAT FASCINATIN RYTHEM. IT NEVER TOOK OFF.

DANCE MUSIC SELLS FEW CDS' AND DRAWS FEW PEOPLE ON DOWNLOADS. MAYBE IT WOULD WORK IN HAYSEED KENTUCKY BUT NOT IN GREAT TOWN LIKE PHILLY. DANCE MUSIC IS YUCKO!

You have got to be kidding....right? RIGHT????

Come over to this side of the pond and tell me the same thing.....if dance music was doing so poorly, then you wouldn't have huge festivals here solely dedicated to this music....

As a matter of fact, Clear Channel promotes one of the biggest techno festivals in Belgium, which attracts a world wide audience....selling out each and every year for the last 10+ years to 50,000 people. Monegros Desert Festival in Spain sells out to crowds with over 60,000 people every year......then there's Creamfields, Exit Festival....Sonar......the list goes on......

Oh, but wait....we are talking about the US.....I forgot.....you guys actually do have a festival or two over there dedicated to electronic music....DEMF.....I believe that one draws 50,000 or more people......so again, if dance music was doing so poorly, you would not have events like this even supporting the genre. Mutek, also in North America, is another one that does big numbers......this is outside the obvious of Ultra Music Festival.

And then, there's Beatport.....apparently they are doing something right in sales of electronic music, otherwise they would have gone out of business already......

Judging from your response though, you are obviously quite clueless, so why are you even posting tonterias in this thread?

Recalling a recent Fox cartoon about gentrification by hipster: "Is everyone a DJ?"

I'm not sure why you bring up Clear Channel's concert promotion business: other than music act bullying in the US, it has little to do with airplay and formatting, which is what this thread is about. (IIRC, they are out of the concert biz stateside)

What share of a potential audience are the 50,000 people you cite? Are they local, or diasporic in nature?

Radio depends on an immediate audience and an assumption they will stick with a station for a period of time.
What you're presenting is an argument against a dance format. If there are commercial stations in the US sponsoring these events, I suspect it's in a very peripheral manner.

Shifting units in a festival setting is far different than shifting units among this audience,whose primary 'shifting' activity requires a computer.

What is not electronic music these days? I guess if I suggest that it's something without a constant beat, I'm wrong, eh?

I was simply pointing out how stupid that comment was from Newsieal regarding dance music not selling and not drawing an audience....because that just simply is not true.....so sorry to get off topic about the radio aspect, but he was the one who said dance music doesn't sell....and I was pointing out the fact that he is wrong.....

Again, go tell that to the folks at Beatport that dance music does not sell and is finished - they will tell you otherwise - dance music sells very well otherwise they would have gone out of business a long time ago....take a look at their numbers and you will see that the company has grown greatly since their inception......

Obviously some of you people need to get a clue.....maybe you should all stick with your rock music.....

Hey darlin'....god gave Rock and Roll to you, too!

Obviously, some of these guys will 'stick to their own kind'; I like a little oontz every so often. I prefer more subtle electronics, though.

I know there's one DJ that made hundreds of millions of dollars (name escapes me) but the majority of the music wouldn't translate to radio. It's made for an entirely different venue.

Radio is always behind the curve and out of the loop nowadays. It's like a whole other world exists...

Will this ---- please die a much deserved painful death.If people we're this adamant in changing societies social & economic Ill's, MAN,we would be better off.

If there is anything this thread has done....it made people talk about it and it also exposed the love and hate that is out there regarding dance music.

Heck, I haven't posted all that much thinking the thread would "die" but it hasn't. It just goes to show that there are people in the Philly area, that can't pull in Z88.9 or Super 91.7, that actually want a rhythmic station similar to those two serving Greater Philadelphia. You may not have to like what is being said here amongst the supporters, but the fact remains...THERE ARE SUPPORTERS...love it or hate it.

If anything, I say the next year or so should be the REAL telling point of what may happen.

 

[PhillyListener]

I don't know if I'm even supposed to be here....I found this website by accident, but it let me register, soo...

I was a HUGE fan of Q102 (WIOQ) in the 90s when they played nothing but Club & Dance music. They even had a few concerts (Called Q102 Monster Concerts) where the only invited artists were in the club and dance music industry.

Now that Philly has "Radio 104.5", a close second to the old Y100 (WPLY 100.3) radio (but not quite the same, or as good), it's time to bring on another genre that has been killed by big-market radio groups. Clear Channel owns probably 75% of the major market radio here in Philly, and they keep screwing us. More and more people are going to satellite radio and the ever popular mobile mp3 players. We have so many rap/hip-hop/R&B stations, that it seems like they are trying to convert everyone. Wired 96.5 (WRDW), Power 99 (WUSL), 100.3 The Beat (WPHI), 101.7 (WJKS - Which is a NJ station but comes in clear in Philadelphia), 107.9 R&B (WRNB), and 103.9 (WPPZ) are ALL this genre. That's 6 stations. There is 1 country station (92.5 WXTU), 2 rock stations (93.3 WMMR and 94.1 WYSP), 1 "general" station (95.7 WBEN - I don't really know what to call it, they play a little of everything), 2 light rock stations (99.5 WJBR which is actually a Wilmington, DE station and 101.1 WBEB), 2 Top 40 stations (102.1 WIOQ and 106.1 WISX), and 2 oldies stations (98.1 WOGL and 102.9 WMGK).

In the past 10 years, EVERY single one of these radio stations with the exception of WXTU and WOGL have changed their format in one way or another. What Philadelphia radio needs is a new station with something different, that doesn't play what people want to hear for the first 2 months, hooks listeners, then changes their format right under your nose without warning.

Philly radio DEFINITELY has room for a "Rhythmic" radio station, and I hope it comes soon!

 

[PhillyListener]

Also: WMMR hasn't changed their format either, but I can't edit my original post.

 

[Rockin Rob]

Much as the kiddie dance minions are trying to convert every station to dance?

 

[DJ Becka]

I cannot believe this thread is still going......it's funny.......

Oh, and btw, Rockin Rob.....not all of us 'dance minions' as you so eloquently called us are young......I´ve been djing for almost 16 years now, so how old do you think I am? (I´m not exactly old either, but you get the point)

Also, I don't think the people who are asking for A dance station are trying to convert every station into this format - all I see is them asking for one station....ONE. So what's the problem here? Philly has every other format.....why not one dedicated to dance music too? (and the circle jerk continues)

 

[TonySantiago]

Much as the kiddie dance minions are trying to convert every station to dance?

This "kiddie" might be older than you. Or at least the same age. Let's just say that in New York, I was a 'KTU fan...when it was on 92.3 and DISCO (your WCAU counterpart at the time.)

Let's face it Rob...this time, people are speaking out about this. I'll say it again, you don't have to agree with this at all but this time no one is backing down or running away I'm certainly not. I will defend anyone's right to speak their thoughts on the matter. And that also includes the "negatives" because the reality is.....guys, such as yourself, are out there. And not just in Philadelphia.

For the umpteenth time, I DON'T WANT to convert you or anyone else here into liking dance music. But this time, don't just think you or others can put the fans of dance music or the music itself down without me getting involved.

Here's the funny thing...AGAIN. I did the same thread on the Boston, Albany, and talked about it as someone else put one up for Los Angeles. The comments were fairly positive and the topic "died". To that, I do want to do what I can, but those markets are not a priority to me. Yet the hatred in here from you and others actually is MAKING me want to push hard for Philly to do a rhythmic station. Sometimes, I think those that put down negative thoughts in here really want to see if we can make this happen.

Without question, thanks to the input in here, Philadelphia is high on my "radar". There are those in your region that have requested I hold back until they do something...and I am. It is NOT easy mind you but I am, out of respect for them. If they give me the word, I'm gonna do what I'm gonna do...and I certainly want them to join me with this.

 

[Rockin Rob]

That's just wonderful, you want to change the world. Go plant a tree (hug one?), clean up a neighborhood, whatever. Begging for your "music" to be put on all/any stations is NOT the way to impact a planet. It is basically you and your kooks SPAMMING these boards, at this point. Philly DOESNT have a dance station, deal with it before we start the backlash that Philly SHOULD NEVER have a dance station. We have wasted enough bandwidth going back and forth. We just have to agree to disagree... (linger longer)

 

[TonySantiago]

Breaking it down....

Who says we want to impact a planet? The rest of the world is way ahead of the U.S. when it comes to dance music anyway.

We have wasted enough bandwidth going back and forth. We just have to agree to disagree... (linger longer)

Spamming? We're not selling anything. If there is a "sell", it is a concept and a thought. Regarding my coalition, we're not a business nor are we taking any money in...NOR DO I WANT TO. It's an organization for dance music fans to speak out because quite honestly, we never really had an outlet like this for expression. But to resort to name calling? "kooks". That's not right.

Quite honestly, I haven't really posted all that much lately to see if this thread would "die". But other people are keeping it alive and quite honestly..GOOD! Even those that hate, such as yourself and others, are continuing to keep this thread alive.
We will always disagree. But this time, we're not backing away.
