...as the moment that defined you as a fan of electronica, what would it be?

For me, it was the breakdown in Paul Van Dyk's unreleased mix of "Klea - Tic Toc" during his Columbiahalle, 2002 set. I've been listening to EDM since 1998, but that thirty seconds put it all into perspective for me and made me realize what it was about dance music that I loved so much (and still love today).

5. Chris & Kai vs. Levin - Gone to Heaven

The video for Prodigy - Breathe is what started it for me.

Speaking of "Klea - Tic Toc", is that version ever going to be released??

The first time I heard the Mortal Combat song, I knew i liked that kind of music!!! But I really didn't get into trance until my friend gave me 'R&R' by BT. Ever since he gave me that album, I've been hooked!!!

Robin Albers' 'For Those Who Like To Groove' radio shows from '91 and '92 started it all for me. Made sure I could listen to those shows every week.

What really defined me as an EDM addict was my first massive (gabber) party in '96. Had been going to some smaller parties before, and thoroughly enjoyed it, but after my first massive I was truly hooked.

Definetly the MK tune. That was probably the first legit electronic song I had ever heard. I remember watching the movie and everytime that song would play Id get pumped up and get chills all over. Utah Saints - Theme From Mortal Kombat, definetly the defining moment in my history with the genre.

RnR is the shit, btw!

No.

...but I do have it on MP3. (A rip from the actual CD-R that PvD used at Columbiahalle, even.)

I could never forget listening to 'Art Of Noise - Moments In Love' in late 1980s as a young child over and over again. What a beautiful electronic tune. My favourite tune of all-time, actually. It got me forever addicted to electronic dance music.

And, hehe, also, hehe this tune ... Venus by Bananarama
