Originally posted by TwistedDUO What a long, strange trip this has been... 2001: I'm at the Movement Party in San Diego. I find myself in one of the side rooms. Alice in Wonderland is playing in the video loop and I find myself engulfed in some of the most wicked trance sounds I've ever heard. Dark, twisted, acidy, and just downright insane. A San Diego local dj named Hidroponik was on the decks. When he got off the decks, I asked him what that was he was playing. His answer... Acidtrance and Psytrance. The rest is history.

Werd....Hidro is damn good. The majority of good US psy-trance comes out of Cali. Hidro, Mubali, Ocelot, Penta, Ghreg on Earth, et all in regards to the Mistress of Evil girls.

Sasha & Digweed's Renaissance cd, the Prodify, & buying a random Matsuri record in 1994. It was all full-steam ahead from there.

Nigel Richards- Hands in the Air 1996. Best tech/trance set ever.

80's & 90's EBM artists that ended up in some of the Trance scene (Talla 2XLC, Front242, KMFDM and so on) doing remixes or being sampled by producers. Early Chicane, Marco V, Oakenfold, Corsten, Carl Cox and others of the mid-late 90's era sort of where my first real tentative steps into buying albums that where specifically trance/techno oriented, lot of the Industrial stuff I was listening too at the time, Skinny Puppy, Ministry, NIN and the like was also fairly electronic based.
