wow, 20 years old already, it was crazy at the time it came out. I remember watching the news with my parents and hearing about a "Portable PS2" which seemed something impossible to me. It wasn't quite like it, but pretty close.

Yeah, one of the main problems with Dance music is how disposable most of it feels, like just tools for a DJ to play once in a set and then discard for the next big tune. There's lots of forgotten stuff to be appreciated.

Same here, never got the appeal of it, too random and wanting badly to get into our heads lmao

Same here, together with Shining Force, these were my first RPGs in general.

I remember that game, never got too far, but can recognize the combat interface

Oh, yeah Portuguese Techno tends to be around the groovier sides of the style, Goncalo M is probably my fav, lots of Hardgroove and similar stuff

Ohhh, wish I had one of these, or at least a Windows XP one

These projects started getting a lot of success, getting constantly into Beatport Top (now it doesn't happen anymore), going for this "wedding DJs" audience, just in the way lots of Tech House is more "shopping mall" music than club music nowadays.
