1990s
Mixing techno live on the radio was and still is an important cultural phenomenon, following in the footsteps of world-famous Techno DJ Shows like Chicago's Hot Mix 5 and the Super Mix 6, as well as Detroit's Electrifyin' Mojo and his Midnight Funk Association, to which I was exposed at a very early age. The roots of techno were taking hold by the 90's, and at this time I was coming from a more industrial/goth influenced area of interest. Techno was clearly the next step for me, taking machine music into a less abrasive and less restraining area of aesthetics. These early shows allowed me to trace this progression into techno and more importantly for me, ambient-influenced electronic music. More details will be posted as I dig up more info pertaining to this early period.
