How long have you been listening to electronica? What made you make trance, which tracks have influenced you back in the day?

I grew up on synth-pop, new wave, punk, darkwave, goth (old-school stuff e.g., Bauhaus, Fields of the Nephilim, Sisters of Mercy) and listened to synth-based music since the late 70s/early 80s. By the 90s I was into a much wider variety of music, only some of which was electronica. By that time, I was gigging five nights a week with several different bands, going to school during the day, running sound for other bands and doing session gigs in my spare time, so I played and listened to whatever style was paying my rent and tuition. I listened to house and trance back in the 90s and early 00s and went to clubs on my rare nights off, but I was never really into the scene or the music the way most of you guys are. TBH I've never really been much of a trance-head and the trance stuff that I do like is considered total vocal trance cheese by everybody else on this forum............and I'm totally cool with that. :)

Amen, brother.
(And where the have you been hiding?)
Age doesn't matter. A lot of the big DJ's and producers didn't make it until their 30/40's. Carl cox is 50. Sasha is 43. Digweed is 46.
Most producers that were making music in the 90's were easily above 30/40 as that's what it took to buy the kit and have the knowledge.
Even today, young big name producers are everywhere but they are still vastly outnumbered by older producers.

But they all know their audience. The guys overseeing most pop are real ing old but know what a 12 year old wants to hear. From what i've read and listened to about brain functioning and aging, the decline does happen later in life, later than most think, but we do use our brains in a different way and I don't think it is an accident that almost all great artists , scientists .... make alot of their great discoveries , work in their 20 -30s. But I think life has changed and we don't quite know wether it is purely biological or the use of the brain and how that is changing.
But ya, i think the second you stop being open to new music , you will stop being relevant. For example, the people that find no redeemign qualities in any of the new dubstep everyone hates. That is a person that will not be making anything novel.
