August 1999

First heard trance back in '93, when the J&S Remix of The Age Of Love was featured on an old school hardcore compilation I had gotten. However, I was still somewhat in the throes of eurodance and old hardcore in those days and I didn't really pay it much heed.

It was two more years before I really delved into trance, after I'd picked up Dance 2 Trance's Moon Spirits and quite enjoyed the loopy, hypnotic nature of it. The rest of Jam el Mar's work soon followed and, before long, I was listening to EyeQ and Music Research releases.

Hmm, well I got into EDM in like 2000 with probably the lowest possible way to get into it, lol. See my cousin back then wanted to be a dj and he had quite a couple of trance/techno I forgot,music files on his cpu. I remember listening to a couple and liking them so I went home and typed in Techno into a p2p program and just downloaded whatever. MOST if not ALL were the sorriest possible form of EDM, which was remixes of like video games and tv cartoons. Like Dark raider(whatever its called)tetris mix,pac-man mix,super mario mix, etc...Yeah I know what your thinkin

Man I thought that was cool music back then I listened for quite a while, then put it off. I then met my cousins friend who was into breakbeats and listened to what is known as underground djs. This stuff was way better and this was what I listened to since about late 2002. Then the grand puba came in which was trance. Some of these uderground djs though that I listened to were also like Euro Trance. But late 2002/early 2003 I really actually dont remember who was the first Dj or track I listened to, but I remember clearly typing in Trance and downloaded Dj Dean-Tunnel Trance Force v5 I think(I forgot)and it kicked ass. From there I didn't do much, and didn't know about ferry,avb,tiesto,j00f, or anything at all. The first one though that I remember clearly(besides dj Dean)was AVB, from there I decided to look into "Trance" and heard about Tiesto, so I got some of his stuff and this blew my ass off away. He became my fav dj for quite a while.

So I would say I started the Trance scene in 2003 but fully got more intelligent on it 2004 when I knew of all sorts of stuff and djs. So timiline

rap-->rock/rap-->techno-->breakz-->trance-->nothing after this :P
1999 1999/2000 2000 late 2000/2002 late 2002


I truly believe Trance is the way to go, and people are missing out. I say this cause I have listened to other genres and its nothing compared to Trance. I mean I would say about most of the people who listen to rap do it cause its just cool to listen to it. With Pop music, the girls like the guys in the groups(nuff said)pop just plain out sucks. Country nuff said. Punk, blah sissy skateboarding spikey hair good charlote listening punks. Metal, hmm, theres gotta be appreciation towards this, cause I dont know anybody who can listen to pure electric guitar and somebody whos just screaming stuff. Rock, this genre I appreciate cause I can see how it shows some emotion in there music like trance does. Especially "Staind".

Thats it

My earliest record of listening to trance was back in 1999. I didn't become a more harder fan of the genre till a year after that when I heard Sasha's "Xpander."

Must've been late 1999 to early 2000 iirc, but I was influenced strongly by synth compilations (Jarre, Vangelis etc) at an early age, and sort of 'revisited' my electronic roots later on.

I started early 1997 but it wasn't trance yet but rather house or techno progressive..

I'm still not sure which one I fell in love with first: Trance or House

Oh wait, probably the first EDM-style I heard was Eurodance (when I was about 6 or 7 years old) "2 Unlimited" was hot back then in Holland

Around 2002 I think. Was looking for stuff on Sonic Animation, did a search on 'electronic music' and stumbled across some files. Was instantly hooked. Wish I'd found it earlier....
