I'm 38. I'm another techno-dad. I understand there's a few on this list :)
When I was younger I made couple of techno tracks on an Amiga computer and when I listened to them recently I had the same kind of reaction. They were about 160 BPM and I didn't really think about that at the time. It wasn't like what I listened to, though I'd been into Hardcore, or UK breakbeat as well as techno before then. I may have put that down to youth as well, but I'm not sure.

I'm 44. I'll leave Kent to share his age if he so desires.In explanation: I've mellowed somewhat in terms of the speed of the tempos I produce and mix as I age.Example:I was lucky enough to have a track released on Matrix back in 1995, but quite soon thereafter lost mymaster and copy of the CD compilation. At the time the song was produced, it was the tempo I was into. I only recentlyreacquired that CD and I knew, as I was about to first listen to the track in 18 or so years, that it was goingto be faster than what I produce/play these days. I figured it would be a bit faster thanwhat I'm playing these days. Well, it was VERY fast. I shudder to listen to it now simply because it is so incredibly fast,it gallops along like some out of control train. Anyway, that's the way I'm feeling now as I get older,I still listen to a huge variety of styles of music, much of it much faster than the music I play on the show, of course,but personally I tend to make and mix music at much much slower tempos than when I was 20 years younger.On Wed, Apr 24, 2013 at 10:29 AM, Kerr Knoll <kerr.kn...@me.com> wrote:Well said :)On Apr 24, 2013, at 02:24 PM, "Lechowicz, Thomas" <tale...@pointpark.edu> wrote:On the note of age, I'm 21 and thoroughly enjoy the material you guys put out.

Really? I'm not sure what age has to do with it though I suppose it's more measured with less urgency but no less lively. It's grown-up music. I'm neither young or old either. I'm not sure I can tell that much from music or whether or not it really matters. There's maturity and taste, and that counts.On 24 Apr 2013, at 02:31, andrewdukecognit...@gmail.com wrote:Thanks for the kind words. I'm guessing the laid back-ness is likelyI note that both Kent and Andrew's mixes are about 2 hours each and filled with quality tracks. Thoroughly enjoyed those too. They are filled with laid-back & colourful techno vibes.There are a lot of mixes about but you guys are doing a great job with these and well worth listening too.
