Two decades ago

There’s something magical about these tracks.
The first one for instance; I still remember when I heard it for the first time.
I was sitting on a playground outside in the summer morning sun with some friends.
My cousin came back from DJ-ing in a club and proudly put on his latest cassette mix tape from that night.
People gathered around when it was playing on this simple cassette/radio device, fed on batteries. It was cool.
When he’d bring something, you knew it was going to special and unique new music because it was only out on vinyl and you were lucky sometimes to catch some good tracks.
There was no internet, not even an affordable CD-R. Can you image … .
Today, like 2 decades later, it’s still magical somehow.
The people who used to make these track had totally different workflows. They had to have had rooms full of analogue equipment to make these tracks. The pioneers of electronic music IMO.

Bang bang

I chose this title because one of the songs has the lyrics “Bang bang you shot me down” – a tribal version I once found, pretty nice. Next mix will probably be in a couple of months from now. Until then, enjoy this one!

From 120 to 134 bpm, from house to techno-ish

One thing I learned making this mix, is that’s it’s not always a good idea to change bpm while mixing. The trained ears can probably spot it, but most people won’t :).

This mix covers a wide rangs of years, bpm’s and genres within house music.

Take, Nalin & Kane – Beachball which was made like 21 years ago. I think I will never get bored of it. Also Joris Voorn … he’s a workhorse, he keeps making nice songs that fit in kind of everywhere. Some nice songs I’ve got to know from ‘dekunstenaar‘, be sure to check him out as well.

If you liked this mix, please repost!

Respect to all producers making such quality electronic music!
