RA taps into the hustle that's helping a legendary scene roar back...
'Not too long ago it looked like New York's
glory days as a center for dance music had passed. As the birthplace of
disco and hip-hop and the home of legendary nightclubs like the Paradise
Garage, Limelight and Twilo, the city has long been part of the
cultural fabric. But as the notoriously grimy city of the late 20th
century transformed into the sleek and hyper-gentrified metropolis of
today, its thriving underground lost its foothold.
New Yorkers have long flourished under adversity, though, and its now
bustling party scene is a testament to this. Promoters, producers and
DJs jumped the East River to establish Brooklyn as a new creative
center. Lofts and warehouses filled the void left by Manhattan's
shuttered nightclubs, and a new generation of producers is infusing the
city's musical legacy with the sounds of the international scene. But
the luxury condos rising along the waterfront are a constant reminder
that the city's relentless evolution could easily stamp things out
again. We burrowed deep for our latest Real Scenes film, discovering how some of the key players in this vast scene are hustling hard to make it last.'

Yet another gem from Resident Advisor. I really enjoy these segments as it really gives an insight into what's going on within electronic music across the world. When you live in a city you usually just focus on what's going on around you. So it's refreshing to see it from another viewpoint, especially when Dublin is where you call home. ;)
Enjoy, and happy Friday! :)
