"The Age of Love" is the 1990 self-titled track by Age of Love. It is notable as an early (but far from being the first) popular example of trance music.[3]
Released as a single in 1990 on the Belgian label Diki Records,[4] it was produced by Bruno Sanchioni and Giuseppe Chierchia from Italy,[5] with vocals by Karen Mulder.
In 1992, the React label released Jam and Spoon's "Watch Out for Stella" remix,[6] which gained more popularity than the original track and opened up opportunities for remixes by artists such as Paul Van Dyk,[7] and Garry Creen in 1997. 'Watch Out for Stella' was a reference to Jam and Spoon's own track "Stella" which was released around the same time on their 'Tales from a Danceographic Ocean EP' on the legendary Belgian label R&S Records. Stella is the name of Jam aka Jam El Mar's daughter.
In 1997, "The Age of Love (The Remixes)" release reached No. 1 on the UK Dance Singles Chart.[8] To this day, the track continues to be remixed and featured on compilations. As of February 2007, the online resource Discogs has cataloged a total of 73 known releases and 346 appearances on compilations. The track was featured in the hit film Human Traffic based on the UK club scene.[5][9] Sanchioni and Cherchia never released another single under the moniker "Age of Love"; Sanchioni would continue to produce as part of the trance music act B.B.E.
Impact and legacy[]
British hardhouse and trance music record producer Jon the Dentist picked "The Age of Love" (the Jam & Spoon mixes) as one of his favourites, adding "This is a guaranteed floor-filler. It's a classic techno track – probably the first ever proper trance track."[10]
