Back in the early 00's I was lucky enough to "be there" for the House/progressive house/techno "renaissance" of that time, man, clubbing was at its finest and I was lucky enough to see live all the greats of that time, Sasha, John Digweed, Darren Emmerson, Laurent Garnier, Carl Cox, Derrick May, Ritchie Hawtin, Paul Oakenfold etc etc...
Every Friday and Saturday was a party and we'd dance our feet off - one of the best parties I've been to was in Chalkidiki Greece at a beach bar, spot was friggin'pristine with some amazing cristallyne waters, girls were amazing and when Darren Emmerson started blasting at about 2:00 AM shit had gotten real...amazing experience, everything was just...perfect, the music, the location, the people...everything.
That day we danced till 9AM in the morning and jumped into the beautiful water just to close the event.
One of the nicest memories I have of those times...I still remember that day like it was today.
Nowadays, I don't dance anymore, I mean, I went to a Perturbator concert 2 years ago and I just stood there enjoying the music and...banging my head
, still had a great time though - same thing at the EXIT festival in Novi Sad Serbia where while the music was good me and.my co just stood there enjoying the music with beer(s) in hand until 8:00AM - this was back in 2015 if I remember correctly.
So, I did use to dance but not anymore, I got too old for this shit /lifestyle and nowadays, if I find myself at an electronica event (and not "EDM" like the cool kids say nowadays ) I just listen to the music while sipping down on a good drink.
I still love electronic music but old age too stronK
