LOL first time I saw PVD @ Twilo, we were still Tunnel heads and wanted to hear super-hard .
PVD jumps into the booth at 2 (the old booth by the Power Bar) and starts just playing beats, no melody for the first 20 minutes. (Like he used to when he programmed a lil more :-) but we was even back-scratching his vinyl, holding it for a second and then WHAM dropping it again.
We were standing on the steps and my boy says to me, "Uh oh, this guy is gonna whip some ass." |

i didnt like it when the booth was by the power bar, sooo many people would be over there. when they centered it it was more like an official representation....especially when the pvd angels lined up =P i only saw them twice i think.
best money spent - $15 steve lawler and seb fontaine
best random night at twilo - ended up at carlcox for $25
best RESIDENT SEQUENCE TO EVER GRACE THE NYC NIGHTLIFE - S&D and PVD residency...it was a treat EVERY month with a mix of DT, CarlCox, Steve Lawler, Seb F, Plastikman...it was like sprinkles on the icing on the cake...mmmm |

What got me into EDM...
This is actually a kinda funny story. I used to be all about hiphop back in 92-93 (who wasn't). I was 11. Lucky me, my pops found the stellar debut album by Wu-Tang Clan in my walkman. He promptly smashed my entire tape collection. ALL of it. Then, I was semi-banned from rap. I got into alternative for roughly 2.5 weeks, and got bored. I soon found a Digital Empire cd in my sister's cd player, and that was that. It was an awesome way to get into it, because there was all different genres. I remember volume 2 later on being awesome. Here's the TL for nostalgia sake:
Disc: 1
1. Comin Back - Crystal Method
2. It's Like That (Club Mix Edit) - Run-D.M.C. VS. Jason Nevins
3. Cetch Da Monkey - Atomic Babies
4. Velvet Pants (Spare Pair Mix) - Propellerheads
5. Luv Dance - Frankie Bones
6. Dub The Dice (Fatboy Slim Mix) - Lunatic Calm
7. 3lectro - DJ Donotask
8. Vocodor Bass - DJ Icey
9. Floori.d.a (Pimp Juice Mix) - Rabbit In The Moon
10. Creep - GFS
11. Believe - Unerzone
11. Believe - Unerzone
12. Legend - Deep Sky
Disc: 2
1. Brimful Of Asha (Norman Cook Original Radio Edit Remix) - Cornershop
2. It's Jazzy - Roni Size
3. Tow Truck (Chemical Brothers Mix) - The Sabres Of Paradise
4. Free - Micro
5. Strickly Business - Mantronik Vs. EPMD
6. Back On A Mission (DJ Dan Remix) - Cirrus
7. Playing With Lightning - Expansion Union
8. Skyway - Infiniti (Juan Atkins)
9. Godspeed - BT
10. X-Beats (Orbital Remix) - Pressure Of Speech
11. Hard Hit - Wink
12. Don't Stop - Freestylers
The rest is history...haha. |

| Prodigy and The Crystal Method back in junior high. Some old friends got me into them, then introduced me to other producers. That pretty much kicked off my general interest in EDM but it was pretty casual. I wasn't into it the way I am now. Nonetheless, that was the beginning for me. |

Great posts!! So cool to read pieces of everybody's history.
We're so immersed this music, that its fun to step back and remember your first experience to it.
Lets see.. the starting point for my official EDM exposure can be found between my "Pre-PVD", and "Post-PVD" exposure: around 2000.
One day in my friend's car, we were blastin' the norm.. you know, Rockell - In a Dream, Techotronic - Pump up the Jam, AtB - the Summer & 9pm, Spacekid - Tune, and of course.. Sandstorm.
Then he asks, "Have you ever heard PVD?"
"PVD? Thats his name? No."
"Aw, dude. You gotta hear this guy. He'll put you in a zone".
He proceeds to pop in 'Words'... and he wasn't kidding. My imagination began to run its course, and I knew this was the next thing in music. What was cool about it was that it was so unknown by most, that you felt like you were 'in on the secret'.. your very own audible treasure shared by a community of those who "got it", who understood it wasn't 'techno'(which it was commonly called)...but this was a gorgeous sound, clocked in at 140 bpm.
Along side of Words: Robert Miles - Children. Like so many of you noted: Timeless.
From my EDM youth, i remember 2 PVD works that represented him very well:
1) PVD's Ministry of sound session in 2000.
You know, the one with 'Endless Wave' (Albion mix) into 'Fiji' in the first 10 mins. I can remember really really wanting to go to his gig when i heard that set.
2) PVD - Out There and Back. I remember not taking it out of my CD player for weeks and weeks...
THEN - I was so fortunate to be at the right place at the right time:
PVD @ TWILO. His legendary nights shaped my (then) infantile dance culture experience. He had so much fun, and built up so much energy over the course of his residency, that it was almost a garauntee you'd have one of the best nights clubbin' you ever had - any time you went. The momentum that developed there confirmed a scene I haven't seen of such intensity in years.
SO, i was pretty much raised on the "have fun, go til you can't, then go some more, PVD vibe".
Be it known that I love all bpms! I (heart) house music too. lol...

Opps I was wrong about the date.....I was not at this show. I was there in 2000 when they played at the North Atlanta Trade Center.....before they started the Delta Heavy Tour.
