By chance I heard Judge Jules show on Radio back in early 1998, started listening and recording to cassettes. Then found the Euphoria line of CDs in 2000. A friend lent me his CD player on a flight to Bangkok and listening to:

Solange - Messages
Tilt - I Dream (Tilts Resurection Mix)
BT w/ PvD - Namistai

that mix blew me away!

and more recently hearing stuff from Ferry Corsten et al

I guess I've sorta always been in to electronic music my entire life. I used to listen to stuff like Erasure, La Bouche, etc when I was a kid. I was (and I still am) a huge Mortal Kombat fan, so when the movies released I bought both soundtracks which contained a good amount of electronic music on them as well. Then as I got older I listened to rap/hip-hop for about 5 years. I started to get bored with rap around the time Napster came about and my friend burned me a CD that contained a variety of MP3s.

This was where I got heavily into EDM, when I discovered Antiloop on that CD my friend gave me. Napster was one of the greatest tools I'd ever used, which is where I found the majority of music that I enjoy to this day and I also found trancEaddict on there. Since then I've never been able to go back listening to commercial tunes.

Yeah I can definitely hear where almost any collaboration with Jan Johnston involved could do it for you, good stuff

The Prodigy - Music for the Jilted Generation. Also happened to be my first album.

Seriously though I will check out all your recommendatins as soon as I get a CD burner and free up my HD. I've discovered so much amazing stuff this past few weeks, astral projection, infinity project, plastic angel, Chris Fortier etc, my mind has truly been blown open and I guess there's no no turning back but I mean wtf you know?

Back in 1998 when I heard Cafe del Mar

robert miles - children --> grace - not over yet, crecsendo - are u out there?, s-express - s-xpress, chicane-offshore--> discovered the trance nation series (mixed by the then, largely unknown dj and producer system f AKA ferry corsten) and that really got me started

Yeah a lot of those sets own, the Galaxy chillout with a lot of Chicane as well as the kruder/dorfmiester(astral projection?)Trans fatty acid set, well at least the first 17 minutes or so, and a whole crapload of other fine stuff, man i gotta get me a CD burner this week)
