Nothing stopping us now, but how long before we can play tracks from 10-15 years ago and get away with it and not be called stuck in the past or "retro"?

I'd play trance if I could get away with playing tracks from the 90's again.

I mean EDM for the most part has had a pretty timeless sound since the mid 90's at least. Its hard to date a track just by the production quality or content.

Yea but I mean soley playing tracks from 10 years ago...


I guess the underlying question is "would anyone care?"

I doubt party goers besides people that hang out on places like TA would even recognize tracks from 10 years ago and the only people who you'd have to worry about criticism from is other DJs... and who cares what they thing...

The first time I played with Serato at Spundae, my laptop fried at the beginning of my set. I had a CD book with classic trance. I finished the remainder of my set with old trance. Everyone got really excited and they thought I purposely did a classic trance set!

Play whatever you want mate!

Im gonna drop the original Lizard mix tomorrow night which is what, exactly 10 years old now?

If it mixes and sounds good theres nothing wrong with it

I hopefully get a pack of vinyls today where the oldest is from 1993. So, who cares? I just say 'Juno Reactor - Jungle High' and 'Fluke - Bubble'

I anyway don't care about release dates. All that matters is the flow!

I don't see the problem dropping old tracks into sets. Last time I saw Armin at Gods Kitchen last year he played Binary Finary 1999 and the crowd lapped it up.

If you want to play a full set of it then it'd probably be best to advertise the set as being a classics set.

Always preferred the RAF mix. The original was a bit anti-climatic after such an intense breakdown.

Thats the thing though, why would you even need to advertise it as such?

I guess this thread is more academic than practical...
