NZ festivals are obsessed with drum and bass
Any music nerds able to explain why?
Just returned from living overseas, and there's not much variety of dance music here. I don't mean all night raves for the cool kids and alt community, just at regular summer events, day time festivals.
For the younger crowd, drum and bass and dubstep inspired big ooonsty tunes are pretty ubiquitous at the bigger festivals. As a comparison, in Europe it's definitely around but not the only option, even for the normie crowd.
The older crowds have generic summer anthem house music (edit: or Dave dobby). All up it's pretty limited.
I know there are sometimes places to find techno, phonk, jungle, bass etc at club nights and smaller festivals, side stages, but was expecting more variety. Anyone know how this happened!!
