Not talking about just listening to EDM music but actually going out the very first time to an EDM event, club, rave, underground...
YOUR very FIRST EDM EXPERIENCE

First time, Weekend of 911 Giant @ Park Plaza. It was supposed to be Hybrid but they were grounded due to obvious reasons. I was going to the toughest times in my life.

Few short months later I began my clubbing career and here I am working amongst the promotions elite in LA.

Living here in Fresno a shitty place where everyone listens to rap/hip hop, country, top40, rock/metal (I like heavy metal) everyone thinks trance, house, d&b, psy is all techno. Theirs never any kind of EDM events here. So back in September of 2005 I drove 3 hours west to SF to attend the first Love Parade.

hrmmm well I had irresponsible parents, I was being taken to clubs when I was 4-5 years olds. I have very clear memories dancing with my mom's friends and pictures too!

I pretty much took over my stepdad's records which he pretty much went straight into house after disco so I have house records dating back till 83.

All in all I've consistently been paying attention to electronic music since 86/87

but I intentionally attended my first event in 94 in SF which was an underground with Doc Martin

first clubs were 177 Townsend and 1015 in the same night in 1995, I was 15 turning 16 at the time LOL
