Be sure to check out my other posts from this awesome, historic era!
On a personal note: I was extremely fortunate to experience and witness the early days of House Music myself from 1990 onwards – aged 16. Then, nightlife and the subsequent lifestyle sucked me in and they were truly times of pure ecstatic excitement and adventure, and then to also watch it evolve in all kinds of subgenres; one more tantalizing than the other. I will never forget it.
The music felt like it was both energetic and magical, and more than once it was like an escape. DJ’s grew into celebrities right in front of your eyes, and if they were any good, they would take you on a long and mysterious journey through the dark night. And sometimes day.
Don’t get me wrong, I love all my fellow Dutch DJ’s and others who are so popular, but the music now simply cannot be compared to that of 15 – 30 years ago. DJ Sets would often have a start, a buildup that sometimes would go on for hours, and a hefty climax.
Nowadays, a track has to immediately start with a chorus, or have one within 15 seconds from the start, otherwise kids get bored and skip to the next track on their Spotify. That seems to be the sad, current state of the music industry.
They’ll probably never experience a music scene like it was back then, full of addictive energy from a new music genre that was quickly taking over the world, one beat at a time.
Consider these uploads from the Progressive House genre (one of my favorites) like some sort of testimony from an era gone by. These mixes will always stick with me.
