97-98

But I'll vote for 98 cuz I don't really remember tunes from 97

I would have to say that I started getting into techno/trance in 1987-88, although for those that can really remember back in the day, Hashim - Al naafiysh, from about 1982 or 83, now that is an old school classic of which I still have a copy. My grandfather and uncle both owned vinyl shops that imported from overseas, so I started hearing the sound at an early age. After awhile I started reading the mags that were advertised with the records, but it wasnt until maybe 1990 that my 1st true love of techno/trance started. It came with Joey Beltram - Energy Flash on Neptune Records in 1990. What a fuckin stormer of a track. I still play it to this day and wil forever or for as long as it will play. It really doesnt matter when you started, who is older, who knows more, its all about everyone appreciating where the sound came from and where it is going and just going along for the fabulous ride.




Music is the art of the soul

I find it interesting that like 70+ percent are from 1998 on... which is making me think twice about dropping too many tunes from 1992 thru 1995 at the Marco V show in a few weeks (see below.) I was gonna drop like 3 or 4, but now it might get cut back to 1 or 2...

June 1993 was when I first heard it. I only vaguely knew it as "Techno" then and I wasn't really into it till I bought my first CD compilation in late 1994.

Was never really into music untill i found trance. Started getting into techno only recently but theres that much of it and that many differnt types its all too much to keep clued up with. I still love it tho.
Still good for scaring the cats off your garden.

it was in 1996, that i was corrupted by the greatest music EVER!

Cafe del mar, Carte blanche 1999

In 2001, first as evolution of dance-eurodance in my sets and then like only genre. Never leave it...
