thats a good point.
It seems that if they're not cookie cutter, they're at least behind the curve in style.
Most of the next gen dance music is rearing its heads in the under belly clubs.
I wonder if many christian producers/DJ's choose not to spend anymore time there than they need to and that is why we see the secular DJ's more so ahead in style?
That's probably part of it. Some of the labels, like Sparrow are targeting the Soccer Moms, while people in the underbelly clubs are targeting what's actually happening in the club scene.
Even some producers who may have a better handle on their sound may still be a little disconnected from what's hot if they aren't connected with the club scene in town, at least once in awhile.
Some people can't handle that scene though, so I would never suggest they go in if it's not safe for them.
that might be one of the reasons, but don't forget there's simple MUCH more secular dance music lovers than christian dance lovers, much more secular dance producers than christian dance producers; this makes the chance to find really good producers smaller...
BUT, and this has to be said, still I think we don't have to be ashamed on the quality some of us here achieve!
Another good point, and very true!
I think there is more than one reason, and that is why it can be hard to discuss sometimes.
