Stand By Yer Samplers

David Toop, Mixmag, September 1992

Dance music is under attack. The establishment is swamping us with double packs and pointless pop product posing as dance music. Dance music is no longer acceptable fare for Top Of The Pops and free rave organisers are being hounded across the country. No one, it seems, can deal with a scene where the music is the king and not the artist. As things change, David Toop discusses the situation as intelligently as anyone can.
