120 - 130BPMish tracks played at around 105BPM, except for a few 105BPM tracks that fit perfectly into the mix.

Vol 1 here: Maramza – Midlife-midtempo-crisis

MidLife MidTempo Crisis Vol2

MidLife MidTempo Crisis Vol3

I've called these mixes Midlife Midtempo Crisis mainly because of the alliteration, but also because I'm in the middle of my life (hopefully) and the general shared stress of the world makes it feel like a mid-life crisis. I can't really tell how much of its specific to me, but it has made me nostalgically revisit music that  I loved when I was twenty years younger. I feel like the whole Mid Tempo scene kind of slipped by really quickly, so I'm enjoying not only going back to classic tracks from that era, but applying the concept of drastically slowing down music to modern dancefloor treffers, a lot of which I wouldn't play normally because they sound too fast and in your face.

First Time ft Ziggy Startdust (unmastered)

An ode to Glen Lewis's pioneering Mid-Tempo sound, whereby he took house and speed-garage records meant to be played at 45rpm and played them at 33rpm, creating a slow, kwaai sound that became iconic in the early 2000s.
