Pixan say:
'i dont care if skazi choose this path, it is only interesting for me from a trance history point of view. i just happen to think that there are other artist that could have gone this path, but chose not to.'
But I don't think its so simple...
for a start Pepsi is NOT a revolutionary organisation committed to changing anything - its about the profit motive. Let us not forget that Pepsi was LEGAL in the Soviet Union (I assure you), but BANNED in India during the 1980s - the Indian govt banned all softdrink multinationals from the country because they ****** up the economy by
leeching or extracting surplus value (aka 'profit')from the country. Better in their eyes for the indian softdrinks industry to manufacture and sell softdrinks and keep the profits in the country. So no sense of social history or solidarity then
Also, when I say that Pepsi et al isn't committed to social or political change then you might (rightly?) point out that that is not their role - they sell soft drinks not pipe dreams.
BUT: it has been long recognised that a favourite trick of multinational corporations and other capitalists is to syphon (or suck)/ parasitise off youth/underground/innovative culture. What's the harm in that? you may say
But it matters a lot in contemporary underground techno culture because the authorities have banned many aspects of techno culture(s) - music, parties, and you know the rest.
Has Pepsi or any other MNC criticised this? No
But they are quite happy to buy INTO the culture and sell it back to us, to commodify the LEGALLY ACCEPTABLE FACE OF SUBCULTURE/UNDERGROUND CULTURE - they are capitalists and interested in maintaining certain power differentials - u can buy Pepsi but not certain other things - so Pepsi makes money from OUR culture while keeping its mouth shut when OUR people get sent away from time to time
and that's why his signing a contract with Pepsi is effectively renewing his contract with satan

It matters (as much as anything matters in a universe that will probably collapse in on itself in the future) because he could have put his name to a worthier cause and influenced kids (no-one in those videos could have been older than 15) with nobler causes like campaigning for Greenpeace or Medicin Sans Frontier, or a million other - but instead he didn't.
And it IS interesant that he did that - but I am of the persuasion that the personal can often be political and, like a butterfly flapping its wings, small actions may have large effects.

the only bad thing about him that more 'bad' people get their asses and start to listen to psy and join parties, well their not bad but their just fake fan's who like 1 or 2 track's from the artist or just listen to it to be cool, driving with their cars with full volume psy music that they don't even know whos playing. and the good part of that, that maybe in few years skazi's weird revolution will lead and add more chicks to the psy scene. |

Having thousands of people screaming for you, your name on posters and pepsi sponsering you. Well done Skazi.

I think a real artist focus on art itself. not everyone is in music for the money or for the fame. i dont care if skazi choose this path, it is only interesting for me from a trance history point of view. i just happen to think that there are other artist that could have gone this path, but chose not to. because their focus is on the music. and that what is all about for some of us.

I'm sure Skazi did focus on the music to begin with. He couldten know when he started that his style was gonna be so popular and go this mainstreem. So i'm sure he does love doing his music or he would havde chosen otherwise to begin with 
But again, i don't know for sure, i can only guess http://crackwhoremodels.dk/dainty_doll.html

excuse me man, but i havent seen any of the even most underground artists have any political contect in their music. the only exception maybe the neuromotor bloody reality which is a good thing. but i think mostly this abstinence of political views is what makes psy trance more universal, because its psychedelic music not protest music. i maybe wrong though..and im certainly not fan of skazi!!!!
