@raylight ... auch ein schönes Set. Lass dich nicht vom Anfang abschrecken, die Mitte ist schön.

... noch langsamer, da schlaffe ich ein 🤣

 

Nice set.  I love seeing all the gear and Mad Dog turning knobs on his eurorack modular synths.  

 

But . . . educate me . . . It's called downtime live, but this isn't downtempo.  Is that the event name?

This is what counted as downtempo when I was coming up.

In the electronic music sector (Hardcore & Gabber), people talk about three speeds of music today.

1. Downtempo 135 BPM - 160 BPM
2. Midtempo 160 BPM - 175 BPM
3. Uptempo 180 BPM - 220 BPM
and then there is Speedcore & Terror (200 BPM - 260 BPM and more)

By the way, everything is danceable, with the right style

Mad Dog = the DJ/artist
Downtempo = the speed of the set
Live = is LIVE

I hope could help...

Yeah, this is great.

 

So, when I quit Djing, Downtempo was 90-110, just on the edge of danceable.  The emergence of a lot of hip lounges (no dance floors, with couches, very intimate, designer drinks) in NYC in mid/late 90s played a lot of electronica/chill wave/downtempo.  That's why I was confused by the term.  Downtempo then was super laid back, slow. 

What you're describing above is a diff genre for sure.  I have no idea what it is today.  Terms def change.

 

Thanks for the explanation!  I always enjoy your posts.

No matter what electronic music, whether Hardcore, Gabber, Italo-Dance, Eurodance, Italo-Disco, Eurobeat, EDM, Lounge Music, etc... you can divide all types of music into these three categories, but it only works within one genre. You can't place downtempo over all genres in terms of speed (i.e. the BPM).

.... i love that old sound 😍

I have some of my early radio sets from the late 80s when I was a kid on tape, and some really rare stuff from the radio in NYC.  If you're nice to me, someday I may put some of that stuff up here.  🤣

 

Unfortunately, I have ZERO tapes from my live sets and parties. I played at the Beat club on Byrd Rd. in Miami when I was 15, it was the first hip hop club in the south.  

So dumb I didn't record anything from those sets.  They would be historically valuable now.  I was just worried about making people dance, not getting shot, and wasn't focused on recording.

I never used to DJ because I have two left hands. When I make a mix today, I do it all on the PC. I also used to organize parties, but for the purpose of pushing the Hardcore/Gabber scene in Munich.

 

And if you're nice, you're welcome to have my mixes 🤣

And we did Breakdance in the 80s... but today I can't do it anymore🤣
