Will this effect EDM in a major way, Will EDM become mainstream? SFX Entertainment’s Media mogul Robert Sillerman said that
“plans for SFX is still being developed, but will likely attempt to use the Internet to connect dance music fans while leveraging the community to drive advertising and sponsorship revenue.”
“There’s a wave of interest in attending concerts that have less to do with the specific music and more to do with the experience attached to the music,” Sillerman told the Times. “Our thought is that the experience of attending an individual event can be perpetuated and made better by connecting the people, not just when they’re consuming the entertainment but when they’re away from it.”
