I tell you one thing: the day I discovered disco and soul and old skool elektro, my mixes didn´t sound boring anymore... ;) Even if I play the same style of techno, by discovering the roots an other music I know to bring more variation in a mix. And that´s a good thing I reckon. When I tell people , kids from my age who go to parties.. when I tell them I like disco very much.. they keep telling me stories about abba and so on... they don´t know there are also good records... they think it is one big cheese bowl. Disco has just a really bad reputation with the kids I tell you... make em listen to Hardy I would say! Cheers, Maarten
