This reminded me of something. I used to stay up late and record the local Pittsburgh college radio stations in Pittsburgh. They would have techno mixshows late nights alongside underground hip-hop mixshows. I loved that. |
College radio used to have the best music. I always wondered how those radio DJs found the music they did, especially when the intarwebs wasn't really a thing. College radio introduced me to a few genres I'd never even heard of before. But then I lived a very sheltered life. |

Moby used to have a show on college radio back in the day that was on really late at night. I used to sit there and angle my radio antenna for hours until it was tuned in as clear as it could be to listen lol :p |

funny you mention that. I remember that some of the shows would advertise that they would have records and CDs donated to them by local record stores. The record stores that were around in that era really did have some amazing music. I still have a couple of old mixes from those days on tape...I only managed to digitize a couple of them/...
and for those who want some old school...here's a mix I found from 1999 from my collection
1999 techno mix |

1999.
Anyone who started listening to trance, post-2006 may have HEARD good trance in their lives, but probably never went to a good, real, trance party....true story. |

Some time in the late 90's with just random happy hardcore type garbage. First event was some random warehouse in Detroit, only lasted about an hour then we ran from the cops. I think I was like 13 or 14. First notable event was Techfest in Detroit, maybe 2000 or 2001.
Then I gave up on that crazy lifestyle for about 5 years from there, because drugs were pretty much putting most of the people I knew in holes or jail. Then I came out west where was 1000x more legit and felt like more of a party in legal venues/clubs with bars etc, then just hundred idiots fried out of their brains. Been partying strong since. |
