NAJM Rant



		Welcome to the NAJM Rant! This is the section of our site where we will air our editorial side. We will post music and club culture related topics that just BURN our ass from time to time. We will also feature guest Rants from time to time. If you'd like to contribute a RANT to NAJM, click HERE.
		After having spent the larger part of the last year working a start up label, I have gained an enormous insight in to the dance music business… a business that breeds bottom dwellers and a business that places road blocks along every step of the way. Unless these obstacles are diminished or all together removed, dance music will never see the light of day and will never be as big as we would like it to be here in the U.S.


	Featured Rant:

	Dance Music… Designed to Fail?

	Without sounding bitter and sure to stir up a threat or two, this article is merely intended to point out some personal observations I have made in my quest to join this "dance music community" and make it a self sustaining hobby. This article has been a long time coming, so please bear with me.

	Part 1 - The Bottom Dwellers, MP3s & The Internet

	Part 2 - Pre Paid Radio & Unattainable Distribution

	Part 3 - Labels & Record Pools

	Part 4 - Record Store Buyers, DJs, & Phone Calls
