Etch Radio [023 : Between Hither and Yon]

ETCH RADIO [Techno, Tech House, House Music]

Techno, tech house, house music, house, workout mix, deep house : This is your high school graduation day, this is your road trip across the country alone, your desperate breakup, your falling hard for someone, your freedom from whatever held you captive. A two-year-long pet project, this mix is a distant cry from what Etch Radio typically delivers, but holding true to the foundation of this podcast, I like to spin a mix for every occasion. Born from a combination of my son growing into boyhood, my nephews growing into manhood, thoughts brought on by the book “Oh The Places You’ll Go,” and a sudden epiphany that struck me in a Wendy’s bathroom, I soon set myself on the course to find a mix that can capture moments that only happen a few times in each of our lives. We’ve all had one. It’s that moment where pure excitement and freedom intersect with fear and sadness. It's bittersweet, with a shot of adrenaline. Most of these moments happen in our youth, but as time goes by, we find comfort, we find safety, and it’s easy to forget those crucial impressions that leave a lasting mark on who we are. If you’re having, are about to have, or would like to have that experience again, this might be a good soundtrack to your moment.
