Re: Life Cycle of a Raver
LOL.
1. I don't remember what my "track zero" was. First one I remember really liking was Orbital's "Halcyon + On + On" in Hackers like fifteen years ago, but that was when I was twelve years old or something, and I didn't actually "get into" dance music or even learn who wrote the track until years later.
2. Think my first mix was a GU, maybe Digweed's Los Angeles one? My friends definitely owned some cheesy trance mixes, though, and I listened to those, too.
3. Would have wanted to be out every weekend, at least. Not enough money or the right area for that to happen, though.
4. Yeah, this is accurate with the top DJs and stuff. Joined a forum, too, but never posted on any until years later.
5, 6. Never went to Ibiza. Sort of wanted to, but nobody to go with!
7. Nah, never really got into obscurity for the sake of it, though for a while I'd say I was sort of attracted by "difficulty" (i.e. dissonance) in that way, which sort of overlaps.
8. Lol, never had a rock period, though I've definitely had stretches when I've hated dance music for a while.
9. I dunno, on the rare times I go out with people we all dance. They're pretty far from the chin-stroking hipster type, though.
10. Like Sykonee, I'd say I feel much less jaded than I used to. I'm more open to different styles than I've ever been, think this is a great time for music, and don't feel the compulsion anymore to wish I was back in the "good old days."
