Mauro gets nostalgic
A History of Trance Music in Ten Tracks
ScottBailey surely 2003/maybe 04 at a stretch
When you’re 54 years old everything was better 20 years ago. I wouldn’t exactly call 2001 “old school techno” but I’ll defer to Mauro superfan Zackster for that one.
Go back another 10 years & techno was probably way below 130. When I occasionally have mix of my early techno I’m surprised at how slow it is in bpm’s
80’s techno for sure was below 130 bpm.
+8 and it still sounds slow

That’s literally bullshit.
The problem is most of you on here listen to what the likes of Digweed, Tale of Us, Adam Beyer etc. are peddling while calling it “techno” while really it’s middling tech-house.
Meanwhile there are loooads of big DJs and producers out there still pushing 140bpm+; in fact high bpm techno from 140 even up to 155bpm has had something of a mini-renaissance in the last few years.
I can imagine the likes of DJ Rush are still belting it out….140+
NasserAlazzawi it’s definitely subjective, but I don’t remember listening to or buying much trance after ’99. I found Digweed’s show on Kiss 100 around 2000, and that was that. Only gone back to buy a few post 2000 trance tracks out of nostalgia in recent years.
Thank god there’s now a speed control on YouTube 
ScottBailey Wish I’d heard more kiss100 to be honest. Melodicast 016 was in part based around what I heard from that show but I only heard a few.
NasserAlazzawi reckon we should start our own pirate radio

I used to play on one for a few years in the late 90’s called Flava 106 Fm. It was great fun moving to different venues around town. It eventually went online but changed it’s name to Virtual hi-fi.com. I think it ended in about 2002.
