I am an unaccomplished fine ear, bedroom dj, musicologist à temps perdu and getter-into-trouble extraordinaire.
I grew up on vinyls and technics Mk1200 in the age of shoulder pads and horrible hair styles.
I loved Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dreams, Joy Division, New Order, and Depeche Mode. Sometime, also Duran Duran.
The various waves of "summers of love" that swept Europe and then Asia in the late eighties / early 90s blew me off my feet and nothing has been the same ever since.
Electronic music is one of the five great inventions of 20th century, together with computers, airplanes, deodorant and non alcohol beer.
Harald Bode and Robert Moog, if you read this from up there THANK YOU. As I get older, my memory fails me and my average BPM go down. But not the passion for what you have made possible.
