    Well, I'm 20 years old, loving this music, making it and playing it. And my
    three closest friends are exactly the same even though they're the same age
    or younger than me. Though I think most of the established DJ's and
    producers are older... why? Maybe it's because this kind of music requires a
    certain amount of... I wouldnīt say skill... but knowledge or maybe
    experience? I think that rather few people got into this kind of music
    without being into either jazz, drum n bass, techno, house and/or styles
    like that before.
