You see non-Americans we have our troubles over here
too. Sure, we don't have to worry about scarcity of
food, invasions, or ethnic cleansing. But damn it we
will not stand for commercialized electronic music!!!
Seriously, it sounds like the "dominance problem" may
be due to your reliance on buying cds, or maybe a lack
of quality record stores (avoid chain stores) in your
area. There are more than enough labels out there
releasing quality music. You just have to look for
it, and it doesn't always come out on cd. So if you
don't already have some turntables, you better get
some.

Many years ago Astralwerks did have most of the best
artists. That's not necessarily the case anymore.
That's not slamming Astralwerks, electronic music has
grown and with it tons of little labels have sprung up
all over the place.

I think it's really different for everyone.

Who cares? Are we all suppose to like the same thing?
You like what you like. I never feel elitist because
I boycott (or purchase) certain types of music, food,
beer, etc. etc.
