All my life I had grown up hearing a cheesy dance song here and there and loving it to death but I never really took the time to get into it or find out what it was. Finally one day I was getting tired of all the mainstream music around 2001 so I finally got on the internet and looked for this music I had secretly loved. I found about Trance, House, and all the other electronic genres and couldn't believe what I had been missing. I bought my first CD (Tranceport) and the rest just came naturally after that.

I stole my friend's brother's 'Rave til Dawn' album in 1993 and never really looked back

Hmm... good question.

Mostly it was because of the internet becoming accessible to me. Kind of like an "oh, whats this stuff?" sort of thing, and that was that.

I've always loved electronic music. i got into trance back in the days of Anitlopp n stuff. however, I only became an EDM head following my first pill experience at a dance event. the whole rave concept blew me away i've never looked back

Hm, I think alot of us heard it in the charts when we were young, doesn't mean we got into it when we were 7 years old.

My girlfriends listened to them.

My sister gave me burned copies of Distance To Goa 1 & 3 that she'd got from a friend of hers. That way I got into goa-trance. I was 14 or 15 at the time.

Parents were into it, got me into it.

Music for the jilted generation was my first album.

my first CD was also tranceport back around that same time 2001. but back in 1996, my mum bought me robert miles. i was 9 years old, and in the music store, i was a curious child, listening to all the headphones in the store. robert miles was a new release, so they had his album on the sample headphones thing. i remember hearing "Children" and "Fable" and i loved it, so i begged my mummy for it, and she gave in. but then, i didnt know what trance or any of the genre differences were, i just liked the music.
