Which one was it???

Its happened to every one of us...That first tune...That first beat...something about it just made u wanna hear it over and over again...which was the first track that made u a tranceaddict???

for me i wld say robert miles - children set it off...it wasnt necessarily my favorite...i didnt like it that much..just got me thinking about electronica...then came bt flaming june...at least as well as i can remember...i ask this cause a while ago someone told me some tunes by atb in 1999...

tracks that i feel influenced me the most were saltwater-chicane, motion (dave seamen renaissance awakening cd2 track 1), northsky-blackwatch ..

anyone?

same boat
this was my first electronic music song i can remember
my mom used to blare it all the time when i was a kid

but

i never knew what the song was tho until about junior year in high school. thats when my good friend (at the time) came back and told me all about electronic music and so forth. he was fresh back from poland and showing me all this electronic music. then i heard children again, and was like woaaaaah this is the track that my mom used to play all the time that i used to dance around too as a little kid. and after hearing all that stuff, i was like. yup, this is the music i'm going to be hooked on

for me it had to be JAMES BROWN IS DEAD... O yea... This overplayed radio hit had me going nuts. It had me so much, that it made me wanna be a DJ. It's not exactly trance, it's techno, but I'm very open minded about my EDM. It was the first single I bough too - which I still own.

well it turned me towards finding trance, and more EDM. But Freestylers - Drop the boom.

The Prodigy - Voodoo People. Then I bought my first album entitled "Music for the Jilted Generation."

A great friend of mine went to Europe and brought back a bunch of burned CDs he got from his cousins or something while there full of trance. He didn't like them but knew someone who would (which was not me)...when he brought them back I somehow ended up listening to them and was glued to the tunes. Just couldn't get enough of them. I ended up keeping all the CDs. Like 25 of them, but I have no idea who they are from as they are just non-labelled CDs full of music.

This was in 1994 or 1995.

So there was never any one tune that did it for me...at the time (read on).

I never really went out of my way back then to get deeper into the whole trance scene. I would just go around to listening stations and if I liked something, I bought it.

Then I met a person who was a Trance DJ locally in the Orlando area and got into all kinds of stuff. This was when I first heard Tiesto in 1997. He later went into the military and gave me all of his CDs. Like 1,500 of them! His collection from like 1990 - 1997. A lot of duplicates in there. They are in storage in Florida, probably all warped now from the heat.

So that's pretty much all I listened to...then I packed up my bags in November 1999 and moved to San Francisco to see if I could get a job in the industry I'm in...I finally land a position where I am now in Jauary 2000.

A few weeks after I start I was walking through our production area and I heard someone listening to some trance...and we started talking about trance and the scene here. Low and behold, it's pretty big here!!!

Anyhow, I had him give me the mix so I could give it a listen...it was a mix by DJ Doboy and I have to give him all the credit for making me as hardcore as I am now. I don't like his stuff anymore really (pretty damn cheesy...even the stuff back then was pretty cheesy compared to my standards now ), but it made me want to hear everything I could. And since that day, I've been on the path I'm on...

everyone starts of liking cheese..almost all of us...whats amazing is u have a lot of pple start of real late ...1997-1999...tastes have grown at a quick rate..if u think about it..over time demands have grown...but im amazed at how talented some of u guys are and how fast u can adapt to different styles and genres...personally am ot a dj although i wish i could dedicate more time...

t6he first track from the first techno cd that I ever burned in 2000 was Chicane - Saltwater. but there was all kind of other tracks on that cd, like DJ Venom, Space Girl, PVD, ATB etc.
But the first track that I fell in love with is definitely
Paul van Dyk - Fallen Angel ( Ewerk club mix )
