about '97 when my sister brought home the imported 'RISE' album from Chris Lawrence. probably best progressive trance cd of year in my very humble opinion.

used to listen to late night power tools years before that, but of course power tools and/or house music was kinda strange then.

I was 6 when I heard Kraftwerk's 'The Robots' - Never heard anything like it before. Never looked back since.

Well I'm here aren't i.

I remember back in 1997 A friend of mine gave me a case full of cds. At the time i mostly listened to alternative rock and r & b. Well the cds he gave me were all EDM. I was like wtf is this?? Then I gave them a listen and fell in love. Once you go EDM you never go back. lolol
Some of the cds included Frankie Bones, Moby, and the rest were mostly compulations Trance Fusion, Face of the Future, Mission to paradise, Dont Techno for an Answer, and LA Hard Core. I didnt get to attend my first event until 2000.

Paul Oakenfold, August 2001. I watched Swordfish, liked the soundtrack and stayed up al night researching Oakey, Ibiza and trance etc. That was such a long night haha.

Damn! This question has been asked so many times! hahaha

You know everyone at one point or another listened to HARDHOUSE!!! Lol... DJ Irene, Richad Humpty Vission, Bad Boy Bill!!! HA! I Aint gonna deny it!

Who can forget the infamous... FUNK PHENOMENA, CAFE CON LECHE, and HOCUS POCUS....

But even then, it wasn't hard house that got me into EDM... it was TECHNO!!!! 2 Bad Mice, LA Style, Prodigy, T99, Dyewitness and more....

for me...t'was mars radio then groove radio (the original 103.1!) followed by 2 guys named sasha & digweed and a little thing called Northern Exposure.

get this...it was actually my friend's DAD that showed me that stuff. we were going on a shooting trip (they're white...i don't get it), and i was like "what are we listening to?" he says "northern exposure...by sasha & digweed" and i said "hmmm...kinda sounds like the stuff on groove radio" "it is...but better "
