Historically speaking, record labels and well known dj's have done nothing to foster ground breaking new music.......
until they finally understood the ground swell of popularity which is usually created by the artists themselves.....and their friends.
We have diverse and interesting music because ordinary people took a different route, a route that wasn't popular with those in charge of 'quality control'.
Otherwise we'd still be listening to Jefferson Starship and Boney M.
