ETCH RADIO [Techno, Tech House, House Music] by DJ Etch - Techno, Tech House, House

DJ Etch - Techno, Tech House, House

I became involved in the electronic music movement in 1998 when a close friend dragged me into a dark nightclub in San Diego. I heard about the scene on many occasions, but was never willing to open up to it. After one night in that club, I began what has been an incredible 15 year journey. Electronic music – whether it's techno, tech house, house music, progressive house, breaks, chill or workout mix – has had a huge impact on my life. It is very emotional to me. It can match any of my moods, and it has a way of just letting me be. These mixes are a reflection of my moods – some are mellow and some are very intense. You probably share those ups and downs, and for that reason I'll sit in my room, late at night, and try to get these mixes just right. Hope you like them. Etch

Listen to the last episode:

Dance music, house music, pool party music : I've been pulling these tracks together for two years. It's been really hard to categorize this one, which might be why I love it so much. Electronic music, for me, affects so many of my emotional states at once. This mix is very representative of that. There are moments of tenderness and moments of elation. There can be tracks that are perfect for peak hours at a club, and then it can be very reflective. The name is something that came to me immediately the moment I finished the mix. Within hours of its completion, a legend of a human being passed and left us. In many ways a father figure to me, he is going to leave a huge hole in many people's lives. But to be honest, he lived an extraordinary life, and memories of him will keep us all comforted. The name also stems from an epic track in this mix by Grimes, and I'll think of Pete every time I hear it. I hope this mix gets inside you, too.
