Goodbye Trance
One of the premiere UK trance labels, Hooj Choons, has folded. Their announcement says, "Naturally, this has come about as a direct result of: Sept 11/ any middle eastern conflict you care to name/ downloading/ the slump in the global economy/ music industry/ dance music industry... No, the truth is that as distinguished labels, clubs and magazines shut down around us, we failed to react quickly or effectively enough to what was going on." And the fact that kids are listening to Yeah Yeah Yeahs and The Darkness instead of the boom-boom sound. Clubland out, Rock in.
