-- You're gateway into Trance
Pages (3): « 1 [2] 3 »

I'm lazy so I am copying what I wrote in another thread that started to discuss something very similar.


I listened to various EDM starting in the early 90's. I honestly couldn't tell you which songs got me tuned into EDM.

I still remember the first time that I heard music like Papau New Guinea, Out of Body Experience, Flaming June. I remember that feeling of "wtf is that"? All of this breakbeat music around me and here was this sound that I wasn't used to. I really think that me listening to music like that in the mid to late 90's was the gateway to me getting involved with trance. The song that did me in...I mean really did me in...was Paul van Dyk's remix of 1998. I had heard other trance music that peaked my interest that year (or I probably wouldn't have sought out music like 1998), but that song just got under my skin. I don't know what it was about it, but I was hooked after that. 1998 was the defining year for me. Between then and 1999 I had became a bonafide trance addict. Some of the other trance that I had heard around that time period still had some form of vocals in it...like the Gamemaster...which of course is a classic. But when I heard songs like Cafe del Mar, Cream, Greece 2000, Gouryella, Xpander, Carte Blanche, Out of the Blue, Universal Nation, Madagascar, Saltwater, Godspeed, etc...I knew that this was the kind of music...the kind of trance that my ears had been craving.

pet shop boys ... skip a decade ... starparty - i'm in love, and rythm of life - heaven with your touch ... oh, and and tori amos/bt blue skies.


then onto tiesto, ferry, and everyone elts.

My EDM Time Line

Nov. 2001 :: Started using Ecstasy
Jan. 2002 - June 2002 :: Listened to DJ Encore, Ian van Dahl and all that commercialized euro-dance music.
June 2002 - December 2002 :: Read a Rolling Stone article about the best DJ's in the world...Paul Oakenfold was listed as the biggest in the world and that his "Tranceport" album was an essential mix to own so I went out and bought it along with John Digweed's Global Underground 19: Los Angeles.
December 2002 - May 2003 :: Discovered Psy-Trance and went mad crazy buying import psy-trance CDs which in turn started my massive CD collection. I was addicted to artists like Infected Mushroom, Hallucinogen and Doof. Stopped using Ecstasy.
May 2003 - Now :: Transitioned back to trance, progressive and the likes...now I am addicted to Tiesto, Marco V, Armin, James Holden and many many more, not to mention I own over 100 EDM Cd's and my collection grows each weekend.

Going back to my sophmore year in high school, William Orbit was the reason trance came into my life. I forgot what the song was however.

Darude I guess came second once I heard Sandstorm and then Delirium.

Originally posted by DjJoker_bliss I was always into Trance and such things. I was first into freestye through my sisters influence. Then It went into everything else. I like trance but its not limited to it. I am into dance, techno, happy hardcore, and Italo Dance. Plus this is the best kind of music around.

Freestyle? When I think of freestyle I think of music by Stevie B and TKA. Maybe that's because I am from Florida. What is freestyle for you?

In 2000 I was downloading Oakys essential sets from Napster. That is what got me into it.

Sunbeam - Outside World combined with Blank and Jones - The Nightfly(hearing this on a Luftansa flight to Germany), Green Court - Moonflight ... there was no turning back

Same here. Only two other people that I know went down the same path. Interesting. I used to love Freestyle...I grew up on it. Stevie B, TKA, Coro, Johnny O, Tolga, Tonasia, George LaMond, K7, Trinere, Cynthia, Trilogy, etc.

hmm

My timeline

I heard Prodigy-everybody in the place in 94 on mtv and i was like wtf is this ? I was a big metal fanAnd then i seen the prodigy tape and got it for my sister, and then i started to listening to it and started to like it.Then there was this euro disco like Mr Vein,Captain Jack, Cotton eye joe etc etc and got hooked on.Then started to purchese hardcore cds " Thunderdome, Earthquake"

And now in 2004 im on the tranceaddict board, i love all type of EDM

Ya I went down that path and I am enjoying it right now. Theres not a lot of people in my age group that like this kind of music. Most of them are into the rap and shit like that.

kick ass i found all the mortal kombat tracks.(this is the first time i been able to find all the tracks i wanted with out missing one)

IT seems like alot of Of Were Influence by mortal Kombat

Tiesto @ trance energy 2000 got me goin still my fav set ever

Platipus Records - The Ultimate Dream Collection...Union Jack, Art of Trance

These two cds playing over and over as I took the Flames all the way to the Stanley Cup on Sega Genesis NHL '96.

Go Flames Go!!!

I cannot remember what the first song i ever heard was. If I ever remember what it was I will post it for sure.

I first heard BT - Flaming June (back when BT was underground ) from an old online cd store called "x-radio.com", and promptly purchased ESCM, and fell in love with Remember and Content.

Then I bought Sasha - Ibiza

I've been an addict ever since

Cafe del Mar! ...and since than, i've always love'd techno and trance music!

actually, it started back in 99 when I saw the video of Chicane ft. Maire Brennan - Saltwater on MTV, then I was listening to the usual mainstream-stuff and got hooked up again in 2001 by hearing Iio - Rapture a few times on a local radio, sure it wasnt "real" trance, It took me about 1 month to find the title + artist of this track lol,
anyways, after knowing the artist + track title I checked out some remixes of it and discovered the AvB Remix

became a real tranceaddict in the end of 2001/beginning of 2002 I'd say

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that shared their electronic/Trance musical history, I wasn't originally looking for recommedations but ultimately I seem to have been provided with quite a few

I find that Electronic music is sort of like the English language(possibly others as well). Once you actually understand the language you can then appreciate the many different dialects, Goa, Psy,ambient Euro dance etc

Kai Tracid got me in to TraNcE

Definatly Chicane. Masters of synth.

Paul van Dyk's "The Politics of Dancing"

To this day, I still listen to that album once a month.

Maybe it isn't "real" trance, but for me it would have to be Prodigy - No good (Start The Dance).
