when i recorded my first mixtape on cassette almost 30 years ago, it was a great feeling.
finally i could put the music i was passionate about, but which wasn't playing anywhere on the radio, into the tape deck of my car and listen to it every time i drove.
there was no internet, no mobile phones, no usb-sticks, no youtube, no streaming.
the good tracks were often only available on vinyl, but sliding a vinyl record into the car radio wasn't such a good idea after all.
besides, that wouldn't have been a mix yet either.
it's incredible how times have changed.
it's also unbelievable that after such a long time i still have fun putting tracks i like into a mix.
and most of the time i still listen to them while i'm driving, because the radio (at least the conventional one) is mostly full of shit.
that hasn't changed in all these years either.
i don't know how it came, that i counted my "official" mixes last year (without the live recordings of gigs, which weren't always that great).
i counted 99.
i repeated the counting several times, then it was clear:
the next "anniversary mix" has to be something special.
so travel with me to the years 1994-2009 - the most intense time of my dj career.
and the most intense time of the year was always summer.
15 tracks from 15 years.
best of summer.
electric summer classics.
have fun !!!
