The New Professionals
Something for Dubstep producers to think about...
"In music, when you do something new, something original, you're an amateur. Your imitators - these are the professionals.
It is these imitators who are interested not in what the artist did, but the means which he used to do it. This is where craft emerges as an absolute, an authoritarian position that divorces itself from the creative pulse of the originator. The imitator is the greatest enemy of originality. The "freedom" of the artist is boring to him, because in freedom he cannot reenact the role of the artist.
There is, however, another role he can and does play. It is this imitator, this "professional" that makes art into culture."

DMZ November 2006 - Mass, Brixton
In anticipation of the soon come boomnoise.com relaunch i took my friend Paul down to DMZ on Saturday. Paul just happens to be a very talented photographer and luckily he brought his camera along. The shots included here are just a few of the highlights he captured. Apologies to Heny G, the camera wasn't ready to roll for your set. [Please don't steal the images]
