JTY should be downvoted for using the stupid American dating system.

Only cardinal date format makes sense, anyone who can program knows that.

Dates amended. Never crossed my mind TBH.

And, yes I listened to most of them. Some I couldn’t find so relied on the tracklist. Some I did some skipping through as I cannot handle Sasha I mean Danny Rampling going full handbag for two hours.

Masturbatory = Self-indulgent. Like, oh hey I’m on the biggest house/techno dance music show on the planet…time to break out the bossanova records!

And if you think the groupings are a bit odd, I found the difference between number 14 and number 28 to be pretty marginal. So thought putting them in general categories and ranking within made more sense.

Trying to figure out if I should do 2001 or 1999 next.

jonattonyeah Something even better could be a listening club. Each day you post up an Essential Mix and tracklisting from back in the day (a decent variety of house, techno, trance, POWERPROG ™, breaks etc). Everyone who wants to join in listens to it and gives their comments on how boss it is.

    Given how restrained and mature we are, as well as so willing to listen to other points of view, that should work a treat…

          -si- haha there’s no way it takes me 3 comments to explain again to ed why it’s a terrible mix.

            Smallman1 i love that you don’t know what a good mix sounds like, but i’m the one having a reg.

              Let’s launch our own version of Tim’s twitter listening party 😂

              jonattonyeah Just listened to it on my afternoon bike ride. That took me back. I used to listen to it on my mini disc player. Picotto is such an odd guy. He never really played in techno line ups, and he quickly turned his back on the style all together, which really makes me question how much he ever knew about the whole thing. I remember there being a story about him unplugging everything from the mixer before handing over to Carl Cox at some festival, which lead to things getting heated. No idea if it true. Mauro always had a very unique techno sound. Somewhere between detroit and schranz techno.

                  zackster I have him firmly down as a hard house dj, with pretentions to something more, which he never achieved.

                      Amps that was exactly my thought. and after my 007 experience this week, i’m not going back to listen to it.

                        Amps He played in those lineups, but I wouldn’t call him hard house. He’s done techno trance and cringe euro house stuff to the best of my knowledge. The only time I ever saw him he played a lot of trance, and not his tech-trance style either. Like big room Tiesto shit. It was extremely disappointing and I have no idea why he did it. His Mega Nite party was huge in Ibiza at the time, and that was very much a techno night.
