In My Mind #7: Techno-only Set! 

EDM went out of style after 15 years. Techno is still going strong 30+ years

I’ve been DJing for about 25 years now and I still learn from your vlogs. Yes kids you’re always learning and developing. How about an in my mind vlog on old school tracks? This would make an old timer like me very happy 😀 AJ

The most active DJ/Producer. Thank you for all your hard work you put in for your volg. #respect

This Sounds so much bettter than your EDM Mixes.

please do techno more often!!! i love it

Tracklist?

*_You made me see Techno mixing in a whole new light!_* Very inspiring!

Would love to see you do a techno set in the Creamfields Steel Yard!

Super love these In My Mind videos !! Thank you so much !! ❤️❤️❤️

I would be a laidback luke fan if he was techno.. just sayin

I Love Your blogs please keep doing such blogs and you are being my ideal with every single blog i watch and after watching your blog i feel like you're my friends. Thankyou and keep doing such blogs! *#Respect*

This is the Laidback Luke I first got to know. Every once a while I listen to those old mixes and sets that you used to do. Love them. I love what you do nowadays but I can't front about it. I always respected your mastery of the craft.

Duuuuuuuuuude, you're amazing! I started listening to you from when I first heard your 2015 year mix on soundcloud, the tracks were not the most favourable for me but everyone has their taste, the thing that hooked me like a drug and made me a fan of you was the mixing, it was done so well and absolutely pleased me.. I had forgotten about you the past year but I'm very happy that I stumbled across your channel again and seeing you mix techno with the same mixing that hooked me in the first place is just a godsend! Keep up the good work and stay real in the industry by not abandoning your craft and talent! I'm sure to be coming back and back to listen you play :)

Anyday that Luke uploads is a good day.

Man, how I love these in my mind mixes. They're so awesome. I also love the way you're dealing with the layering that's cool.

so inspiring to learn more and more about mixing styles. thank you Luke, watching it for the second time for the last year.

Lukeeee!!! Ahhhh I LOVE this all-techno mix you threw down for us here in this vlog!! 😍👌 I was too busy dancing so I kept forgetting to read the screen, lmao! 😂 But hey, then it was the perfect excuse to replay it over (and over + over...) again LOL. The whole video from the top again, cuz why not right?!? Hahaha. THANK YOU. You're simply zee besttttt sir!!! 😉😁🙌🙌 P.s... Praying you come back to Chicago sometime sooooon!! 😎👍🎉💖✨

You gotta love those green glowing illumination on the Denon Decks!

More of this series please!! It really teaches me a lot, love the content!!

This is fantastic. I love when you do the "In My Mind" videos. You are truly an inspiration & DJ mentor. This is coming from a DJ that started in the early 80s. Thank you, sir!

Hey man, I've always had a lot of respect for you dutch veterans even though I listen to techno only, but this is simply a masterclass and quite a surprise that your roots are techno... So generous with your knowledge filled vlogs and your time, you're like the yoda of electronic music, a true magician... Would love to hear a good techno set from you live on the old continent!

U are one of the most sensible coolest and humble stars out today. World needs more like u.

Right on time!!! love your videos Luke, your'e THE BEST example for a good & professional dj for me... MUCH LOVE & RESPECT 🙏🏻❤️

Thank Luke for the "Train of Though" style mix. This helps us figure out what were doing right and need to work on from a mental processing point. So cool to literally see inside your head!

Holy crap, this is so similar to how I mix already! Then again, I picked up a lot of what I know from watching others, and picking and choosing what sounded best to me, and you were one of the first channels I watched. I learned so much just from watching and analyzing what you do on-stage and in-studio. Even though it probably would never happen, it'd be a dream come true to do a B2B with you. I'd love to see a lot more techno from you. Even though it isn't what I normally mix, I want to move over to it when I can. All I can say is that it's interesting mixing electro house as though you would techno.

u're so informative kind of guy! i love all the info you've shared.. keep it up Luke!

I LOVED it. this minimix is so intersesting!

So awesome to see this! I've always wondered having been a long time listener. I never think to look it up but luckily I stumbled across your channel and love all your insider explanations! I love your chill confidence and dedication to excellence but mostly your authentic and open persona that is 100% real. Thanks for not wearing an emotional mask!

Yessss more of these vids pleaseeee!!!

I appreciate the effort you put into these videos (mixing and re-watching/editing to explain what you're actually doing). You're helping to produce the DJ's of tomorrow, keep up the great work!

Hi Luke! I have an idea for a vlog, it could be about how is the booking for you gigs since you sign the contract to get to play at the club/festival

AWESOME TECHNO MIX LUKE!! :D I wish to be out their with you and your audiences! Love all your vids and even VLOGS! C:

First online mix i see online where you can really read what’s in the DJs mind during mixing. Thumbs up!

You’ve absolutely smashed that, there’s levels to this game!

i love this, pls do more techno stuff sometimes! nice techniques, have learned alot from this!

Loving this style of uplifting techno.

Hi Luke! Thanks for the vlogs. I've been following you for a year now. Your tip for bedroom mixing made me order 2xRCA->3,5mmFemaleJack-converter so I can use my plugs with headphones while everyone else is asleep at my home. I'm dedicated dad too (two girls, 12yo and 1yo). Running simultaneously full day job at telecom industry and running own company where producing music and practicing to be a DJ during nights (when I'm not too tired, so actually not that much now). So the silent version of DJ controller use was really good tip for me since most of my own-time is after ten pm when there is needed to be quiet at the house. So now I can bang the best house tracks without disturbing rest of the house :D

Thank you so much for this mix! I learned so much and you made me dance so hard too ahah. Love your djing, you have very good techniques. Thanks again!

I loved everything about this vlog full of useful techniques keep it up

more of these, this was absolutely insane!

Nice, got lots of inspiration from your video's. Thanks!

holy moly....insane work!!!!

Beautiful video, kept me engaged the entire time. Great work.

Thanks alot for this, we need more of it ! :D Im learning alot just from watching u. Thanks again!

I really loved this techno set... I am learning more about mixing this genre and this really helped me. Please do more instructive videos on techno

The best.. really inspired!

Wow it makes so much fun to watch and listen Ty :)

That's great Luke! Deliver more & more techno please!

Can't wait to see you with Chuckie next week! Never give up🙌

Laidback, I really enjoy your vlogs. Recently at a Bar in Colorado I play at, you're "Rise" and "1234" tracks have been killing it. Thank You so much.

Definitely more techno set!!!!😎😎😎😎 that's was so cool

Great video with tricks in techno, thanks!

Incredible mix man! I always get so lost in layers.

I love to see skills of luke's Its insane !!

Yo Luke! Super groovy, you should do heaps more "In My Mind" vlogs, amazing to see and very entertaining!!!!!

heres question for next vlog: what you think about electronic music thats leaked to internet by workers at label/recording companies (recently label monstercat made statement in their subreddit about starting to investigate huge music leak happening in monstercat every time new track comes around). nowdays its not just ripping from CD since most EDM is shared as 320kbps mp3 or lossless wav, it has to be someone inside label, and how mixmash records is preventing music leaks? have a lovely night/day you all

THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING!! Luke, you are such an inspiration, this has lead to me setting up a couple of Webcams and recording my own mixes 🤪👍 Keep doing’ it 🎧💯🔥

Master at work!

Damn Luuk, this is way more then only performing, what you do is art! Loved your techno set, gave me some interesting tips

Can't wait for your set at the Tinderbox festival in Denmark this summer. I love these videos and they have taught me a lot.

not really into edm but i like your channel! and so happy to see a In my mind on techno!!

Thanks for the masterclass boss!! Really inspiring🥰🔥

I cannot believe your filmed that snowboarding trip vertically! Absolute madman

Dude I wana hear more sets of Techno Luke !!!!! You killlllled it !!!!

Love the track at 9:55 from Amelie Lens - Stay With Me (Perc Remix) Oontz Oontz

Big ups for you Luke, what a set this is daim!

I never thought that techno was this much fun!

Made my Day! Hi from Cebu, the Republic of Philippines!

Hey Luke! I've never seen you mixing techno before, thank you so much! Those Denon filters sound really awesome! I always see your vinyl habits on your mixing style (scratching, beatmatching with the pitch fader, starting the track with scratch). How about a vinyl set sometime? It would be awesome! Have a nice day!

Luke!!! WTF!!! I missed you doing this dude!! Can't wait for more techno minded " in my mind " kudos!!

wow!!...each in my mind is much better!!!...You will always be my favorite dj.

12:34 Fake Sidechain effect!! Badass! Also dig the cross fader on long note trick at 12:20-ish. Thanks for sharing. Maraming salamat

Loved the mix Luke technos really big in Dublin Ireland at the moment so I was happy to see I was wondering would be able to do a vid on being able to control the crowd while djing and also could you leave a track list thanks

Great great great!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

WOW nicht Set! Really would like to see an other 'in my mind' Episode with Techno! :)

Luke I love this series!

Such a good video Luke, can't wait to see you at Ministry of Sound in a couple of weeks! Hopefully get to meet you too, would be awsome!

That was amazing. Great that you mentioned Jeff Mills. I have his Wizard tapes from Detroit Radio in the late 80s. Detroit Techno at its finest. Shoutout to Derrick May, Juan Atkins, Kevin Saunderson and all those Detroit OG's.

Hi Luke, A BIG shout out and respect to you from India! Thanks a ton for sharing your expertise and knowledge, also for keeping the art of djing alive in this digital and sync world.Hope I'll learn a lot from you and someday be like you:)

i think techno is the most fun to mix as you can layer much more than other music types (excluding acapella etc).

Great work LL

Ach i fall in love with techno because of you when i was young, come to techno back....please

Love your mix man, I got some many of your mixes on my old MacBook with serato scratch live 👍

such an awesome mix! 👌👏🌋🌴

Great mix!🖤

This mix makes me want to become a techno dj, you can really put your own mark on a set unlike a set with some other genres great work luke!

Cool mix. I like mixing without using any effects, just mixing, and making it sound just as good if not better without effects.

Loving it ! As a mainstream DJ I had the cance to listen to some techno sets in festivals once (Louisaaah, Charlotte De Witte..) and it's truly something to experience ! That set was great Luke ! ;)

Nice DJ set up man looks awsome!

great mixing , love the transition :)

Awesome set! Luke i would like to know how to start playing at clubs and do gigs

Hi this is really informative for a beginning dj!! Thanks. Just one question, how do you decide when to bring in each new layer? Do you try to line up drops or make them sequential?

i like this tecno style ! nice set ! L.L. BEST !

The first years of edc in vegas with laidback luke and chuckie on the mainstage was epic as fuck!

Yes Laid-back Luke, spin those sick beats

I loved it!!

Love your videos. I don’t even like your music style but respect you so much as a DJ, Producer, Kung fu athlete and dedicated dad ;)

Daaamn LaidbackLuke!! You're spinning that shit better than some techno DJs! Love the variety you use in mixing! FTW! Maybe in the future I want to see a vlog about how you get gigs, which connections are most important for you and maybe the whole process of booking you for a club or a festival! Would be very interesting to see something in this direction! Like a little bit behind the scenes action

Really nice set Luke!!!

Awesome Set!
