Let's see...
- Some semi-cheesey stuff (Benny Benassi - Satisfaction), and some really cheesey stuff (Ian van Dahl... ugh), not Euro-Dance though, really
- Trance... for 6 months or so
- Progressive trance
- Carl Cox-style techno
- Progressive house

Right now it's mostly prog, and alil techno. I've been into EDM for just about a year. :) |

1978- Heard pop's James Brown records and liked em. Was fascinated by Sugar Hill Gang's "Rappers Delight"
1982- Entered the breakdance scene and became a B-boy.
1983- Discovered reggae here and there.
1984- Discovered the difference between rapper and popper.
1985- Left breakdance scene.
1986- Listened to rap on radio when it came on.
1987- Started recording Nintendo music, love of "electronica" was born forever.
1988- Got 1st turntable and the vinyl "Rap The Beat" for 12th birthday. Love of rap solidified for many years. Wrote first rap called "RC Pro Am rap". :haha:
1992- Got deeply into reggae, namely dancehall. Recorded everything I heard on radio shows. Got first mixer and began mixing everything. Began buying at least $150 of rap vinyl each year.
1994- Heard a remix of Two Tribes by FrankieGTH. Liked "trance" but couldn't find much. Still recorded video gamed music, along with listening to anime soundtracks.
1996- Formed group with longtime friends Hammiz & Ice called "Da Box Bustiz" and wrote 95+ tracks of rap, rock/metal, reggae/junglist/dub between then and the fall of 2001.
1997- Left "hip hop scene" as I saw it was becoming a commercialized/mainstream piece of joke of a genre it is today. Still recorded and wrote raps though.
1999- Heard new electronia in line for Star Wars tickets. Reasearched more. Found "trance" in summer of 1999. Downloaded anything and everything on Napster. Trance is what I listen to 95% of the time up till now. :gsmile: |

BEGINNING (when I first got into music, age 10 or so)
- Most pop music (spice girls :nervous: , trance that was on the radio (Robert Miles, Lost Witness, etc)
- Around 1999 I went off pop and listened to more dance, like the trance on Ibiza, Breakdown, Euphoria, etc compilations. And big 1999 tunes. Also was into Eminem (heh, I still listen to Marshall Mathers LP)
- 2000 I bought more trance CDs Decided I was interested in being DJ, mainly so I could play all that great music. Bought my first vinyls at the end of 2000, even though I had no decks, except the crappy deck on my dad's hi-fi.
- 2001, trance addiction continued. Listened to as many trance shows as I could on Beat 106, a local station. Heard Strange World (2000 remake), Flesh (Tiesto mix) for the first time, tunes that would become some of my all-time favourites. Saved up money, and bought decks by the end of the year.
- 2002, my personal favourite year for trance. That year I didn't really listen to much except uplifting trance, and a bit of other styles of trance, like tech-trance.
- 2003, continued loving trance, but my tastes started to diversify a bit - not only getting into more prog trance and tech-trance, but listening to other styles of music too, especially Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters, rock stuff like that.
Now it's 2004 and I still listen to trance. I still like uplifting, but I'm quite fussy now (to be honest I don't think my taste in uplifting has changed much, there's just less good stuff and more ASOT crap), I like plenty prog and tech trance. Apart from trance I listen to a bit from most styles, like electronic (Underworld, Unkle, Faithless...), still into RHCP, not as much into Foo's and I also like hiphop (underground stuff I don't know the names of, also NERD, Snoop, etc). I'm more open-minded about music than ever, in my playlist and CD collection you'd find some rap, some hard rock, some electronic, and I plan to get into even more good music of different genres... |
