Electronic scene sterile in this decade

Who would say that this decade, with all software advances in music creation, an excellent start and the overall adoption of electronic music as a mean of artistic expression, would get into a slump screaming for some fresh air and chocking in convulsion.

I mean, think about it. When is the last time you heard something at least evolutionary be it techno, trance, house or any other sub-genre for that matter? You’ll have trouble remembering, I guess. My most recent memories date back to 2005 and Benassi. But he is currently in sort of hibernation, and frankly with all respect to his work, the whole feel was overdone simply by the number of tracks that sounded almost the same. It wasn’t necessarily a bad thing but it did spread out artistic value of few core tracks to many soul-less spin-offs. And there’s this audience-factor where an artist tries to mingle with all age groups and can’t get away from cheesy tracks that just ruin their reputation. And it’s not just Benassi. It’s the whole scene I am talking about. Nobody got away from being labeled only because they try so hard to please the infantile club scene. And frankly I don’t blame them. Bread is becoming a commodity lately.
