Here is the recording of my livestream from March 27, 2021. In the mix I tried to reconstruct the tracks I played at our first tempo90 night on January 21, 2001 at Exhaus in Trier.

For some records I am absolutely sure (e.g. the opening with Space Age, Coded Language ...). Others I derived from my then still small vinyl collection and my then favorite kind of drum'n'bass. They are still great tracks (apart from the sound to some extent). Neurofunk was still new and actually funky. The sound aesthetic back then was characterized by the euphoric, futuristic awakening of the millennium that had just dawned.

This mix, however, has little to do with what I really produced that night. Before, I had only played in front of very small audiences of maximum 30-40 people in small venues. This time it was an insane 10 times as many and I played the first set after the warm-up. My hands were shaking so badly that it was difficult to operate the tone arm and put the needle on the record. Every DJ has their story of learning the big difference between mixing at home and playing on a big system in front of a big crowd. There was no monitoring, just some shoddy mixer, my headphones weren't loud and clear enough. Oh and so much fog and strobe that even seeing was difficult. And my mixing skills were still pretty basic at that time anyway. Sometimes I just crossfaded in the breakdown and I'm sure I really messed up some transitions. My emotions fluctuated between sheer terror at having to perform under these difficult circumstances and pure euphoria when I realized that people really liked the music and went nuts on every drop.

As trite as it sounds, that night at Trier's Exhaus changed my life, because without it I wouldn't have taken the path as a DJ (and promoter) in the way I did. I realized that this way of standing on stage and "making music" holds quite fantastic flow experiences.
