20 Years of Ravin'

20 Years of Ravin' Barrel dEM
20 Years of Ravin'

When I was young, I listened to a lot of electronic based music - New Order, Depeche Mode, etc. But it wasn't until the early 90's and in particular 1993 that I got into DJ led dance and rave music. You see, I was stationed in Germany in the military at the time and the rave clubs and parties over there were burgeoning. I got an earful of that repetitive, driving sound and the vibe from all the other participants and I couldn't stop. I wanted to share a few of the anthems that I still listen to after all these years - the ones that were formative in my music education, whether they be techno, house, trance, breakbeat, drum 'n bass, dubstep, trap or downtempo, from that time until the present day.

DJ Shadow - The Simpsons Breakbeat



DJ Shadow can do no wrong in my eyes. This student and teacher of the drums proves that anything, and I mean anything sounds better with a nice break beat over it. You may have heard about his recent incident in a Miami club where he was ejected from the DJ booth for not playing mainstream music. This was the same trendy club that booted Dennis Ferrer a few month's ago for the same reason. Shadow's reponse was -
“I don’t care if I get kicked out of every rich kid club on the planet. I will never sacrifice my integrity as a DJ…ever AllBassesCovered”.
