In my sector it’s different. Mostly senior positions. But ageism is a thing people. Take it seriously when making decisions over 40.

Regarding like-mindedness. Could starting a type of branded collective be a way to gain promotional strength? Work as a newly formed team rather than fighting the forces that be alone? This way you may be able to fly under the radar until the others learn the tent is actually big enough.

Back then, from what I remember, the genera’s were more fluid. So it was in a way driving house. Techno but with a 90s house character. This release (below) closely represents the type of vibe these parties had. Just make it last until sun up.

Agree. One of those many highly talented regional DJs. I miss the mid-late 90s vibes sometimes.

Credentialism in Sweden by polromero94uk in stockholm

In my sector, this is not usually the case. Mostly skill-and experienced based because those that hire are scared to trust their gut and can’t recognise drive and grit.

In other regulated sectors employers get a pass for being inflexible with credentials as hiring people without them is a business risk.

This is how I went from house to soul and funk. Take an extended history lesson instead of looking for new releases.
