since 1993

I am interrested in electronic music since the hardcore period. This was in 1990-1991-1992.

Electronic music in general, man, that depends on how you define electronic music. A lot of 80's pop music had strong synth overtones, but I suppose the easiest line was in 1996 when I got into industrial ala KMFDM, Skinny Puppy, and so on.

First Trance?

Quite a bit later, I want to say 1999 when I heard Apollo 440's Can't Stop the Rock (Gigolo Can't Stop the Jocks Remix) and picked up Xpander, but still didn't get into the genre very heavily until I picked up Chicane's Behind the Sun in 2001 and started digging around for anyone associated with Chicane, thus Tomski, Thrillseekers, which led to the Xtravaganza catalogue, and Trance in general.

Started listening to house in about 88/89. Listened to a lot of the bleep techno stuff like Tricky Disco, LFO etc... In 91-92 I Got into Jungle (old Suburban Base and Boogie Beat records to name a few) and a little bit of Rotterdam-style hardcore and eventually found trance around 94 or so (The early Platipus stuff blew me away).

Since December of 2001, at which time I was 18. While I was home for christmas break, I randomly found and listened to an MP3 on my computer of Paul van Dyk's essential mix at the Gallery Turnmills (04.04.1999). From then on out, I was hooked to electronica—but mostly trance.

Roughly started in 10th grade or so of high school, so 1994 or 1995...wasn't really hardcore into like I am now...but was in a period where I loved everything from EDM, to hiphop, to alternative, to R&B, to pop, to others...I was just selective...I would say I started slowly getting into it more in 1997 or so when I my brother-in-law started giving me CDs with DJ Tiesto's stuff that his brother was sending to him from Amsterdam....then it slowly progressed until I moved to San Francisco in late 1999, and a lot of the first friends I made out here were all heavily into EDM and just start piling all this great stuff on me to listen to....been huge into it since.

Still like a good bit of mainstream music (while more selective than ever), but not nearly as hardcore into it as I am EDM.
