What first got you into trance?

Was it a:

- party you went to
- radio station you listened to
- trip to Europe
- girlfriend / boyfriend
- DJ
- track you heard
- cd you borrowed from a friend
- mp3
- anything

Even if it was Alice Deejay's 'Better off Alone'... We all had to start somewhere..

Children from Robert Miles. The first time I heard the intro with piano, I thought: 'Damn, music can be perfect!'. Actually, I didn't know that it was called trance, but once I knew it, I couldn't stop discovering the world of trance. And I even started making trance now 2 years ago :-). Now I'm sure trance will guiding me trough the rest of my life......

I think initially it was Clubbers guide to 98' CD and i liked the trance tracks like cafe del mar n that. Then children, but at the time i didnt realise what it was called until i started reading magasines and trance became big in 99.

I went out clubbin with a few mates, dropped a pill and just lost it to system 7, Laurent Garnier and Tsuyoshi Suzuki, it was amazing; that was me hooked.

I think for me it was listening to Dr. Trance on the radio late one night.

Request: Es Vedra - Cala D'Hort (Original Mix)

I first heard trance on the internet from trance[]control. I then went out and bought a Paul van Dyk CD which was my first real taste of trance...I would then be forever hooked.

Naiveness... I loved Prodigy and only knew it as "techno" so I asked someone for a Techno CD at some CD store and they gave me UNited DJ's of AMerica volume 10 - Taylor... so it was Taylor - Slide and Maria Naylor - Other Side that got me into the whole trance scene

a friend who actually hates trance suggested a used ORIGINAL trance nation 2cd, for $20 cdn. that's as lucky as they come.

and then the next landmark after that was probably burning magik 6, which opened my eyes to tiesto

Basically just the uplifting synths and vocals, even though I have been listening to it for years, it's just got better & better.

i'd been into techno/electronica until....
i heard Alice Deejay's "Better off Alone" and then ATB's "9PM" back to back on the radio and then, boom, i was in love with all trance

Thank You and Goodnight

It was a CD that my friend let me borrow when I first got my computer. It was mostly rock but he had a few Antiloop songs on there (I know it's not trance but it got me interested in electronica). Then after that I would search for Antiloop stuff on the internet and find sites w/ other types of electronica music and my interest grew from there. Finding site after site, artist after artist (that's how I found this site too). I found Tiesto just as he was getting big, I remember doing searches for his songs and CDs on Napster and getting only a few results (sometimes I wouldn't get any!) O well, there's my story

Song that got me hooked: Gouryella- Gouryella
