You guys are making me feel young again. Thanks! Just kidding ;)

I feel the same way as I did when I was 10 years younger. The only thing that makes me feel older now is my kids growing up fast.

45-year old techno dad here.

Still throwing parties [nowadays, they’re not parties which are liable to get busted.]

Still listening to electronic music for dancing and myriad other forms of music.

Still making tracks.

I'm going to be 56 in August.  My first appreciation of electronic music happened when I was 14 or 15 (Kraftwerk! Tangerine Dream!) -- unless you count Switched On Bach, which was in heavy rotation at our house when I was 11 or 12 ...  During the disco period (which ran roughly from when I was 18 until 21 or so) I gravitated to the more electronic stuff like Giorgio Moroder. I got into techno & house music seriously about 20 years ago...

 

The mixes I post are from Noise Radio KRUI (Iowa City) -- I don't get asked to DJ in clubs very often.  Since I'm mostly using Ableton Live, some premeditation is involved, and my mixes are sorted from lowest tempo to highest.   If you can start out at a lower tempo, the higher tempos later are felt as an increase in energy.

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 my

master and copy of the CD compilation.  At the time the song was produced, it was the tempo I was into. I only recently 

reacquired that CD and I knew, as I was about to first listen to the track in 18 or so years, that it was going 

to be faster than what I produce/play these days. I figured it would be a bit faster than

what 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 the note of age, I'm 21 and thoroughly enjoy the material you guys put out. Regardless of age, a good mix is a good mix. Keep em coming :)

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.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm guessing the laid back-ness is likely 

because Kent and I are both so darn old! ;)

I 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.

Been listening to the Darkwave 11 and thoroughly enjoying it. Looking forward to listening to Kent and Andrew's mixes next.
