small sidenote: some time in 2011/2012, there was an article in some electronic music magazine about fake accounts from all sorts of undemocratic states being used to fill the likes on facebooks of artists like David Guetta, Umek and many many other large deejays. most of the clicks came from Pakistan, Egypt, Bulgaria, Albania, Slovakia, Oman, UAE, Saudi Arabia e.t.c. at a time when these places neither had a proper club life or electronic music industry (this came later with the beginning of EDM festivals and the full on commercialisation of the rave scene by a single event management corporation (with a very very dubious head and pretty rightwing, casino/trump related people).

this was the test run and the electronic music industry has always been a hiding and funding spot for rightwing extremism, be it the techno demonstrations in tiflis or ukraine (where techno and nationalism are hand in hand), the takeover by identitarians of the european electronic music scenes back down to all the history described in certain movies about the british ICF hooligan gangs and the rise of the acid house movement.

as much as i love partying, the industry is fucking sinister and it used to be/is the testing ground for so much social engineering
