Are you a coder/tech person now? It sounds like you'd have quite a bunch of stories to tell. Can't imagine too many former Goan DJs on HN, let alone one who'd dj'ed so long back.
- bandrami 3y agoI got in to coding when I discovered digital trackers back then. Now I mostly just corral k8s clusters but that was how I got my start. It was a neat scene technologically because that was one of the few places that would book DJs from Russia/CIS, and they had a DJ tradition based on reel to reel rather than vinyl. It still explains a lot of the difference between psytrance and the various house descendants that come out of a vinyl tradition.

If these genres came from vinyl, what were the genres coming from r2r? (Until now I thought everything was from vinyl.) (Ps guessing from your username you're Indian too?)
- bandrami 3y agoSorry I wasn't clear; psytrance came out of magnetic tape and house came out of vinyl. Here's one of the best old school Russian DJs using a r2r: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yg4VzVXKhAk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yg4VzVXKhAk I'm not Indian, but I've lived more of my adult live in South Asia than out of it.
