EDM went out of style after 15 years. Techno is still going strong 30+ years

[@mdswngs3551]

DAAMN ITS BEEN THAT LOONG ?:)))

[@ph5937]

EDM is huge in America, it's not my thing though.

[@lv6892]

EDM as in...? Which subgenre? When you say EDM you're saying a ton of subgenres.

[@thecheese395]

@@lv6892 all of the sub-genres in fact

[@OutcastCuraduria]

Lucaciu Valentin I think he means big room style of music

[@andyjames5066]

I’ve been DJing for about 25 years now and I still learn from your vlogs. Yes kids you’re always learning and developing. How about an in my mind vlog on old school tracks? This would make an old timer like me very happy 😀 AJ

[@lynescheah2448]

Must've been a lot harder to learn back then?

[@andyjames5066]

It was harder to learn to mix as you had to work the BPM out for yourself however I have utmost respect for new and upcoming DJs as there is so much good talent out there. Despite technology giving you the BPM and the controversial “sync” button, the DJ still has to choose the next track, work the EQs, mix in phase etc. Although Luke’s skills are through the roof. This guy is phenomenal technically. Respect ✊

[@failo03101]

Andy James will be so cool!,,

[@JimLigon]

Andy James - I hear you, brother. I started back in 1983, took a long break, got back into it almost 2 years ago. I am constantly learning & I love the new technology. I wish I had the stuff I have now back in the 1980s-1990s. Those crates of records was a bitch back in the day. LOL!

[@doerian5483]

What I especially like is how he's mixing three tracks on 2 decks :D

[@harshilparmar877]

The most active DJ/Producer. Thank you for all your hard work you put in for your volg. #respect

[@voynich7825]

Well, he only vlogs weekly, Jon Sine (who also got a shoutout by luke) vlogs daily, but luke is more experienced in my opinion

[@restingvard5037]

Comment Guy jon sine isn't traveling the world almost every day

[@this.is.lapc506]

Imagine yourself recording and uploading daily! whole bunch of work... when do you have time for editing those videos? When do you searching for new records? When do you sleep?

[@bellpepper3166]

@@brianmccloskey8575 EDM could also mean Techno if you think about it. EDM stands for Electronic Dance Music. That also includes Techno. EDM is an umbrella term, not an actual genre. You might be thinking of Big Room, Future House, Dutch House, Bass House, and Twisted House.

[@CallumGoldsVLOGS]

Would love to see you do a techno set in the Creamfields Steel Yard!

[@CyberPixlMusic]

*_You made me see Techno mixing in a whole new light!_* Very inspiring!

[@uncledub]

This is the Laidback Luke I first got to know. Every once a while I listen to those old mixes and sets that you used to do. Love them. I love what you do nowadays but I can't front about it. I always respected your mastery of the craft.

[@DJDynablend]

You gotta love those green glowing illumination on the Denon Decks!

[@baileyculley101]

You’ve absolutely smashed that, there’s levels to this game!

[@Humppasonni1972]

Hi Luke! Thanks for the vlogs. I've been following you for a year now. Your tip for bedroom mixing made me order 2xRCA->3,5mmFemaleJack-converter so I can use my plugs with headphones while everyone else is asleep at my home. I'm dedicated dad too (two girls, 12yo and 1yo). Running simultaneously full day job at telecom industry and running own company where producing music and practicing to be a DJ during nights (when I'm not too tired, so actually not that much now). So the silent version of DJ controller use was really good tip for me since most of my own-time is after ten pm when there is needed to be quiet at the house. So now I can bang the best house tracks without disturbing rest of the house :D

[@Alesix]

Hi Luke! I have an idea for a vlog, it could be about how is the booking for you gigs since you sign the contract to get to play at the club/festival

[@zjerre4481]

sounds intresting but i guess for top dj's its more of a job for their management

[@thegrim914]

Its done by the touring manager

[@bigrippp]

Amazing set and yes I’m highly interested in seeing your booking process especially when it comes to the negotiating

[@gsr888]

I always wondered about this. It must take lots of planning when being booked in different countries. Do you just have availability for let’s says a few weeks in the US. And you only accept bookings in Asia for a specific time? This would help cut down on travel time like going back and forth on long flights. What happens when you get asked to dj on the same date? Do you pick the highest bidder? Or closer proximity to where you are coming from? So many factors come into play. Great techno set!

[@PC-om4nv]

Artists typically have an agent, manager and touring manager. Agent handles all the booking/contract/paperwork, manager handles all the things leading up to shows like preparing equipment, riders etc. touring manager goes with the artist on tour, and yeah does the same as the manager.

[@ChonkyMonkey1]

I cannot believe your filmed that snowboarding trip vertically! Absolute madman

[@ravenfallofficial]

Thank Luke for the "Train of Though" style mix. This helps us figure out what were doing right and need to work on from a mental processing point. So cool to literally see inside your head!

[@marecare21]

Hey man, I've always had a lot of respect for you dutch veterans even though I listen to techno only, but this is simply a masterclass and quite a surprise that your roots are techno... So generous with your knowledge filled vlogs and your time, you're like the yoda of electronic music, a true magician... Would love to hear a good techno set from you live on the old continent!

[@desireedoubleyou]

Lukeeee!!! Ahhhh I LOVE this all-techno mix you threw down for us here in this vlog!! 😍👌 I was too busy dancing so I kept forgetting to read the screen, lmao! 😂 But hey, then it was the perfect excuse to replay it over (and over + over...) again LOL. The whole video from the top again, cuz why not right?!? Hahaha. THANK YOU. You're simply zee besttttt sir!!! 😉😁🙌🙌 P.s... Praying you come back to Chicago sometime sooooon!! 😎👍🎉💖✨

[@PewdieTobuscus]

Duuuuuuuuuude, you're amazing! I started listening to you from when I first heard your 2015 year mix on soundcloud, the tracks were not the most favourable for me but everyone has their taste, the thing that hooked me like a drug and made me a fan of you was the mixing, it was done so well and absolutely pleased me.. I had forgotten about you the past year but I'm very happy that I stumbled across your channel again and seeing you mix techno with the same mixing that hooked me in the first place is just a godsend! Keep up the good work and stay real in the industry by not abandoning your craft and talent! I'm sure to be coming back and back to listen you play :)

[@MartijnKuilema]

First online mix i see online where you can really read what’s in the DJs mind during mixing. Thumbs up!

[@JimLigon]

This is fantastic. I love when you do the "In My Mind" videos. You are truly an inspiration & DJ mentor. This is coming from a DJ that started in the early 80s. Thank you, sir!

[@marialopes9365]

Super love these In My Mind videos !! Thank you so much !! ❤️❤️❤️

[@emergingorganism5771]

so inspiring to learn more and more about mixing styles. thank you Luke, watching it for the second time for the last year.

[@noreoz1024]

I appreciate the effort you put into these videos (mixing and re-watching/editing to explain what you're actually doing). You're helping to produce the DJ's of tomorrow, keep up the great work!

[@nerdy_lj]

Man, how I love these in my mind mixes. They're so awesome. I also love the way you're dealing with the layering that's cool.

[@tanykeat]

I Love Your blogs please keep doing such blogs and you are being my ideal with every single blog i watch and after watching your blog i feel like you're my friends. Thankyou and keep doing such blogs! *#Respect*

[@jacktrade1621]

Holy crap, this is so similar to how I mix already! Then again, I picked up a lot of what I know from watching others, and picking and choosing what sounded best to me, and you were one of the first channels I watched. I learned so much just from watching and analyzing what you do on-stage and in-studio. Even though it probably would never happen, it'd be a dream come true to do a B2B with you. I'd love to see a lot more techno from you. Even though it isn't what I normally mix, I want to move over to it when I can. All I can say is that it's interesting mixing electro house as though you would techno.

[@Beyondthanoize]

Loving this style of uplifting techno.

[@cristiangranillo2773]

I LOVED it. this minimix is so intersesting!

[@usernametaken3098]

heres question for next vlog: what you think about electronic music thats leaked to internet by workers at label/recording companies (recently label monstercat made statement in their subreddit about starting to investigate huge music leak happening in monstercat every time new track comes around). nowdays its not just ripping from CD since most EDM is shared as 320kbps mp3 or lossless wav, it has to be someone inside label, and how mixmash records is preventing music leaks? have a lovely night/day you all

[@ChonkyMonkey1]

Would love to hear something more about this, had no idea about the Monstercat situation

[@DavidAneru90]

Good topic that is often thought about, but never really brought up in these QnA type scenarios

[@ConorHarrisMusic]

It could easily be happening through the promo list they have in my opinion, especially since I've seen it happen with other labels as well where they send out early promos to a list of people and suddenly tracks were online/ the people on the promo list were then sharing it. Before you know it a lot of people have it and it's online on YT/SC/other platforms for people to get

[@cyrusjulian187]

Just a theory here but is it possible that leaks are just a marketing strategy on the DL since you’re talking about it and thus I’m replying whereas I probably would’ve never even googled that song had you not mentioned it

[@bekkerthesokuangeldragon68]

[@alexandernewman1968]

Incredible mix man! I always get so lost in layers.

[@colegarcia1433]

Hi this is really informative for a beginning dj!! Thanks. Just one question, how do you decide when to bring in each new layer? Do you try to line up drops or make them sequential?

[@kanedNunable]

i think techno is the most fun to mix as you can layer much more than other music types (excluding acapella etc).

[@InMyMind2304]

Affirmative!

[@KirillYe]

Great video with tricks in techno, thanks!

Hey Luke. First of all. You're a legend men. And second. Can you make a vlog about the real difference between a professional DJ and amateur in the term of organisation. Setup. Set list (how do you choose music to play).... Etc. Love every single of your videos

Luke I love this series!

[@pgrossmsk]

great mixing , love the transition :)

[@FFmybest]

Hey Luke! I've never seen you mixing techno before, thank you so much! Those Denon filters sound really awesome! I always see your vinyl habits on your mixing style (scratching, beatmatching with the pitch fader, starting the track with scratch). How about a vinyl set sometime? It would be awesome! Have a nice day!

And if paying your first do i go with the set i made or try to see what peaple like and play them what they like to hear. Thank you

[@djoliashman3638]

Not a big fan of Techno, find it a little too repetitive but Luke keeps busy during the beats so it stays interesting. Love that fact that Luke mixes so naturally and it's like he is using vinyl. Good work!

I started to watch this tutorial to learn how to mix, but I ended up dancing to your video in stead ! XD

[@theyeguy2020]

Hey Luke could you do a video on the different types of techno, as well as the different types of styles that get used in techno? By the way I love the layering in the mix and shows your skills. Thanks Luke

[@brianmccloskey8575]

Minimal/industrial, melodic, commercial, dub, dark those would be the main ones.

[@djnaz3879]

Oh god i need this palylist so i can play it in my after parties 😍😍😍

It's inspiring to see how you can make mixes less boring with simple tricks :-)

[@LoLchilled09]

Mostly have to do with the tracks themselves being pretty good. But that's underground music for ya!

[@chadbrochill1764]

Too much fx takes away from the vibe. Also, these tracks aren’t really “underground”

[@NATmusic27]

I loved it!!
