How did you become a fan of trance?
Time to recollect, take a look back and tell us about how you were introduced to trance. Did you become a fan right away or did it take some time to get used to?
For me it's been a slow transition.
I became a hip-hoper in the late 80s. Public Enemy, NWA, Eric B & Rakeem. Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock with "it takes two" comes to mind. Great tune! During the late 90s I started to lose interest in hip-hop. The DJs faded, the beats were the same, and the rapping was the same. Money, sex, and violence. At the same time Prodigy came out with Poison and I secretly loved it, could'nt tell it to my friends so I played it loud when I was alone :-) Soon CDs with Fatboy Slim, Chemical Brothers, Crystal Method, Propellerheads, Lunatic Calm, Monkey Mafia and the likes startet to sneak in between my many hip-hop records.
Eventually I got high speed internet and right away I found myself a fan of the current trance, uplifting. I do love a good Big Beat tune or a old school hip-hop track where the DJ is doing some damange scratching it up. But my collection now is dominated by Tiesto, Corsten, Buuren, Judge Jules, Oakenfold and the likes. I love it because I can relax to it and party to it :-)
Thats my story, whats yours??
I got stamped by an unicorn. That damn fairy didn't know how to ride it.

I guess I played too much Pacman as a kid.
Soon I found myself running through dark rooms and eating pill after pill while listenening to monotonous electronic music.

I didn't mean the content. Nevermind.
It was a Pete Tong Essential Mix that a buddy of mine gave me back in 97-98 that hooked me.. when Tong was actually spinning trance.
Kevin and Perry didn't do my love for trance any harm at all either... funny ass film.

Watch out, someone pointed out Mr. Mystery's mistake! Only he can do that to other people constantly.

It was simple for me. About 8 years ago, I got talked into trying X with a group of new friends... got f*cked up and listed to Oakenfold's Tranceport for the first time. It hooked me the same way Pink Floyd did when I listened to it the first time I ate shrooms

Back when I was 9-10 years old my cousin Aileen would always be listening to it and eventually I asked her to make me some trance CD's.
very embarrassing actually,
i was at a leafs game, and they played sandstorm, and i thought to myself "i actually like this song" even though my 64MB MP3 player was full of eminem and other rappers.
started downloading shit like sandstorm, then eventually found an mp3 on napster with the www.tranceaddict.com at the end of it, i came here and found good music. no more ian van dahl for me.
old skool raves back in the 94/95. Only tapes i had though were shit ones handed out. Then in 1996 i got my hands on Nigel Richards- Hands in the Air. Then it went on to Kimble Collins, Oakie & Sasha stuff. Then in around 2000 i started hating trance & went to techno & house. Finally in 2003 i gave some trance a go again but im still a techno whore.
