Do you remember the first (EDM) track you heard?

I remember this girl I used to work with when I was 14/15 gave me a cassette tape. I didn't listen to EDM at the time, but this song always stood out to me.

I never knew who the hell it was, until today. Great track!

M.A.R.S. - Pump up the volume. I was in middle school. I loved the video on mtv.

The first one I ever heard? No idea, but the first one I liked enough to remember was probably either "Children" by Robert Miles, or Orbital's "Halcyon + On + On," when I was maybe eleven years old. Didn't learn who did either of those tracks until five or six years later, though.

I had probably heard some eurodance stuff even earlier than that on the radio (Haddaway, Deee Lite, etc.), but I don't remember loving any of it like I did Robert Miles and Orbital.

Would Harold Faltemeyer - Axel F count?

If not, probably one of the many freestyle/dance-pop songs popular on 80's NYC radio... Information Society - What's On Your Mind was one of the first cassettes I've ever purchased. Or something like Paula Abdul/Janet Jackson... first stuff that I remember hearing that was specifically called "dance music" was C&C Music Factory, Snap, and 2 Unlimited. And first straight-up house tune was Madonna's Vogue.

Robert Miles - Children

My parents were of the MTV generation, so popular music has been with since a very early age. I think I was either 3 or 4 years old when I first heard Underworld - 'Born Slippy'.

2 Unlimited - No Limit

was played at the school disco when I was 5 and I raved my pre-pubescent nuts off.

Same. My Dad had it on some pop hits cassette and I used to make him rewind the tape over and over back to that track.

First EDM track I actually heard, well I thought it was one 45 minute long track since I was a n00b. But it was just one of DJ Czech's mixtapes. The one that starts out with the quote from Snatch? Fack trying to remember... Oh yes! Hooked on Phonics. My brother gave me both tapes as a xmas present. I still have them

Then it all started from there. After I switched to Trance in the year 2006-2007 orso I had to do alot of past track finding that were released in the late 90's and early 00's, because I had no idea this type of music existed pre-2001.

Yea that's definitely one of the earlier ones for me I must have been like 4 at the time.

Also:

Culture Beat - Mr. Vain
Snap! - Rhythm is a Dancer
Corona - Rhythm of the Night

Alice Deejay - Better Off Alone

Well it didn't come out until 1993 so you must have been at least 6. I didn't realise you were only a year older than me, though.

Yea I was thinking about it and yea must have been 6. Actually I have it on a compilation called Top Pop 93 so yea.

Really hard to remember but probably Eurodance, you know, Corona, Aqua....

Probably not the first I heard, must have been a synthpop track, but one of the oldest I can remember and for a long time just of viewing. Found it again earlier this year. I only could remember the view as I watched it on tv in 1985, an early Italo-Disco track:

Moses - We Just (1985)

Also saw a remix has been made earlier this year, but like most remixes of classics the spirit is lost: Moses - We Just (Greyhawk Vs. Deepmind Radio Remix)

Sex and Drugs and House

And it's M.A.R.R.S. of course

Eurodance owned back in the day

Boney M

yeah it was that Underworld track off the Hackers soundtrack I think.

At a random warehouse in DTLA.
Good times!

Prior to 97' I was driving around town blasting Pink Floyd's - The Wall and slinging 8balls so its kinda of a blur but if my memory is right, I started listening to Ayla and Orbital..
