Kiss n Grind is a perfect example. I first went in 09, and OOONLY knew bc of Mz Ashton. Not a single person I knew was familiar with it. I get there and was blown away, almost to where I didn't love it bc it was so foreign to me. I walk in and the DJ is playing "Everything is fair" at 12:30....huh???? And people are dancing...and actually Black???? N it was super casual, in an era that we were used to wearing dress clothes to clubs bc they wouldn't let us in otherwise.
Years later, more n more "regular" folks found out, n it got to where Kid Capri DJ'd once, stopped the music, and asked "do yall want me to go radio?? Or can I play my Hip Hop?" bc they regular ass crowd had dominated and weren't responding as hard to classics as they used to.
This happens often here....word gets out about certain events, and the original essence is killed. Difference btwn NY is that NY has a bigger demand for the eclectic type of events, and they can stay pure much longer.
