Oldest Trance DJs / Producers

I was wondering... How long can a person keep on working with Trance, whether production or DJing, would you keep on going till you're retired at 55+ ?????

taucher is close to 40! he's been producing since like '93, and dj'ing before that i think. pretty long time...

Why not? It doesn't depend on age, it depends on love for the job and the music whether you go on or not (imo)..

I would expect some to say that, I thought that too for a hile, but IMO that's very naive to say... Think about yourself going at it till 60.

Tiesto is 38 I think.....but we all know where he's going!

I think you could probably be a producer longer than a DJ, takes less energy and stuff, and you don't have to constantly travel all the time. That takes a lot out of you.

Dave Ralph is over 40

So what? If you've still got what it takes to be successful, who cares?

Hey we've got a 65 years old DJ in S�o Paulo. He was on TV one day. So cool, he was mixing and shouting things like "Techno will conquer the world! Get ready for trance!!!"

hehe, it made my day It's a shame I don't remember his name Does anyone Brazilian know about him?

He's in his early 30s. 33 I believe

Paul Oakenfold is in his late thirties I believe.

Hmmm only a few "old" ones come to mind:

Dave Ralph
Carl Cox
Oliver Lieb

I'm pretty sure they are all 40+. I'm probably wrong though.

If any of you are into psy/goa, Kode IV is nearly 60 years old. If you ever get a chance to see him, do so. He is incredible.
