How Come There Aren't More Black EDM DJs/Producers?

[Cabbage Patch]

I live in the Midwest, home of techno and house(Jit/Juke music). There are PLENTY of black EDM producers, not sure what you talking about.

He's talking about blacks not getting the shine cacs do for the same music.

Long story short it’s a racist market

It has a lot to do with the lack of support from artists and labels too, that's why I can't hate when Drake samples or remakes a song because its actually putting people on like Black Coffee because now Jay wants to work with him or even Alicia Keys bigging up his In Common remix is big the same way we have a million kids using fruity loops to make trap beats we should have kids making house music but there is no infrastructure for them or even the artists who sings on house music

Might as well throw this in here.

New mix, recorded last night, tell me what you think (deep minimalism, tech house)
Shameless promotion

 

[IllmaticDelta]

Never have I ever heard it played by black people in detroit
Never have I been to a black club that plus it

U don't care if we created it

TBH without the internet I wouldn't know it exist.

While you were busy distracted by hiphop, cacs were busy raiding and stealing more shyt.

Any Detroit dude will tell u the same. I'm a Dilla kid. Elzhi prime minister baatin guilty Simpson etc are friends of mine. I'm from the cloth.... My dog it's ova

We in Detroit and I couldn't name you an open mic

This muthafucca changed SMH. So if y'all think house music history is heralded... Dilla's goes under the radar house has been erased.

My nikkas deelishis is is a dj

That EDM shyt here in Vegas almost guarantees you won't see many black folks in da clubs.

 

[JohnStarksMiddleFinger]

How come there aren’t anymore real DJs?

nikkas don’t know how to beat match without using a computer

 

[MrPentatonic]

IT's to the point I really don't even want to produce for rappers, not to sound anywhere remotely But the fukk am I doing working with someone that expects me to give them a beat for free while they pay a rap nikka $1000 for a verse?

The lack of respect makes me sick.

Far from a Drake fan, but I loved that he sampled Black Coffee and that Kyla tune. Instead of just hooking up with Calvin Harris or Daft Punk, or whoever Black artist run to when they want a "Dance" track.

South African must be the capital of House music.

House music plays 99 % of the time on urban radio over there

 

[TripleAgent]

My guess is the average black person either doesn't know about that music, or don't think it's cool.
