Simon Dunmore, the influential founder of Defected Records, has opened up about the cookie-cutter nature of today's electronic music festival lineups. Many would argue that dance music's cutting edge has gone dull, blunted by years of recycled festival rosters. Dunmore, who in July 2022 sold his label to its former CEO Wez Saunders, took to Threads to discuss this phenomenon and the urgency for new artists to "challenge the monopoly of the established hierarchy." "Festival line ups have been stagnating 4 yrs, w the same 50 acts on rinse & repeat," Dunmore wrote. "New talent needs 2 break through 2 challenge the monopoly of the established hierarchy?" He then lauded Keinemusik and ANOTR, a pair of red-hot house music acts, as trailblazers uprooting the trend.
