Splore@40+

Sunday 6 am... I’m inheriting the last standing people that came out of the DJ area...

Hits my head to see that those girls dancing in front of me are ½ my age at least...

On the other side, I’m sure that they haven’t heard this tune never before... the advantages of travelling (and having money to buy music)... it is a cool feeling to chose what to play and have people enjoying it...

I remember on my 20s seeing “older people” coming to parties and feeling odd... kind of like... shouldn’t you be with people your age?... I’m the older guy now... and I’m very conscious about it...

But then as I was told by young DJ Nick, the people that we see as “ridiculous” are those that are trying to join the ‘Scene” now... you actually never left it... I wish I would be invited to play at parties at your age!

I wanted to hug him... even if he is not right... and just being nice.... it feels good to hear him saying that...

As good as it feels to play in front of a crowd and “sense” that they are having a good time... even if I spend most of the 3 days of the festival enjoying family life with Vibeke and the children and missed a lot of acts I wanted to see... but then... I saw many people I have not seen in ages (it was more than 4 years since Mano Paco played in a festival!).

Kika got to meet the band (Ghost Tones / Sugarlicks) that is responsible for her 2nd name (Irie from “Irie is everything” the song that was playing whe she was born). When they play the song in the main stage, it was dedicated to her, it was a cool moment...

Overall... I’ll enjoyed... and do it again... even if I feel that I should be playing in the 40+ area
