question for all u techno lovers
....how did u start to like it? i mean were you orignally really big trance heads then switched over, or have some of you just really liked techno from the get go???
just wondering cuz ive recently been listenin to lotsa stuff by chris liebling, and mauro picotto to name a couple (meganite cd is awesome btw
)
i actually started listening to techno before trance .. my uncle gave my brother some really oldschool techno and house and i overheard some when i was around 12??
other things eventually led me to trance
now everything's all weird..
House and techno is where it all started. I got into it back around 90-91. I must admit that Chris sheppard's techno trip CDs were a big influence on me back then. You have to remember that at one time, Shep actually played underground music. My "starter" music was definately stuff like C&C Music factory back in 1989. LOL!
Other big influences were Terry Kelly for progressive (back then prog was a very different sound). Mark Oliver for breaks and house on CFNY's Deadley Hedly show. Matt C for House music (live to air from the Pheonix on CFNY 102).
E
Although I don't do that stuff anymore.. to dance to techno on E was way better then dancing to anything else. lol 
Techno just puts you in the mood. I love it. For the record I was into trance before techno.
Prodigy...
i liked trance first (late 2000) and still love trance now regularily making new cds....(i'm at club mix 24 now) but i'd say about 2 years ago i started expanding my tastes and now i'm really into house and techno as well as trance...i'm also really into ambient remakes of trance songs as well as regular ambient...i basically listen to anything as long as its not to freaky sounding...(ie. never liked drum and bass, jungle, breaks or any of that stuff...to hardedged and raver like for my taste). but in order nowadays...my preferance goes
trance
house
techno
ambient
film scores (i love film scores from john williams, hans zimmer, james horner, and guys like that)
euro (if i'm in a cheese music mood)
latino/latin house (just cause my gf likes it, and it can be fun to listen to sometimes)
and even a little alternative sometimes...but i usually only like the alternative music i liked b4 i got into trance, not the new stuff, becuase lots of it is shit...alternative from the 90s was the best, the exception is coldplay though, cause they're good
First started lisitng to Techno when I moved to Cyprus, while I was there every club pretty much played only techo. While I was there , never really paid any attention to it. But once I moved to Halifax, and couldnt listen to any of it, thats when I realised how much I enjoyed it. After moving to Toronto, and trying out E, there was no going back.
trance rules!!!
First discovered techno July 13, 2001 at Turbo. First time I ever heard Misstress B.
Within a year and a bit, I was buying techno records, within 2 years, playing them out for people!
I too listened to Chris Sheppard and all of that in the early 90's, but I wouldn't consider that techno. it was just popular dance music. Since then, I moved on to rock, r&b, then got into electronic music again in 1999-ish when I started going to gay clubs with friends. Moved on to trance in 2001, but only had a brief phase where it was my music of choice.

yeah... i started about 1989, before that i listened to whatever was on in the family car.. heehehehhe
i started off with depeche mode, new order, than i chris sheppard was the bomb back then. Some of his shit was considered techno for sure. Prodigy was a huge influence to, josh wink with his "higher state of conciousness" and " are you there" got me really into EDM.
I've been into techno and jungle since the early 90s and didn't even like trance when I first experienced it in the late 90s. Things have changed and even though I'm into trance and prog now techno still holds the #1 spot for me. The prodigy, chemical brothers & chris sheppard's early stuff were a big influence.
I think I always "liked" techno for as long as I've liked EDM, but only started to "love" it when I finally heard a real techno set at the club, which I believe was a System party with Adam Beyer, Marco Carola and Valentino Kanzyani. It was Beyer's set that really blew the roof off, and I realized how a good techno set can get you totally pumped unlike any other genre and how friggin' fun it was to dance to that kind of music.
Having said that, I've always been more partial to funky or trippy techno and have never really been into the minimal stuff. I think it was the funky side of ALL genres that got me most into it - Erick Morillo for house, Chris & James for trance, Cave/Beyer/MB for techno...
my taste for techno evolved from my love of idm. stuff like aphex twin's hangable auto bulb, the analogue bubblebath series, and the hard stuff he made really makes me love the composure of techno. also, for some really subtle underlying melodies, autechre's mechanical-sounding stuff is great for trying to pick out a progression in the chaos
i did like trance first tho.
I basically first got exposed to Techno around '95, when my sister was living in Dublin and getting me to listen stuff from Billy Nasty, Prodigy, Richie & Sven, Misjah, Carl etc.
Went through my househead phase for a few years after that before I started listening mostly to Techno.
I still listen to house and some trance, but techno is definitely what got me wanting to mix!! no turning back.

Chris Sheppard and Deadly Headly kicked ass for a while...C+C Music Factory was fun, lol...how about KLF, Technotronic, etc...all mainstream, but they were all "influences", I suppose
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL AND COME AGAIN!!
I still have those shows on tape too! Also live from the phoenix, i have a tape somewhere where matt c drops jestofunk and you hear the crowd go nuts....
Sometimes I really miss 1992!!
started with jeff mills back in june '01, prolly gonna end with dave clarke at the guv..

i think those chris sheppard tapes were 91-92. By the time 94 hit he was well into his "pirate sessions" and playing tony debart.
