journey to trance (pg. 2)
View this Thread in Original format

Began with rave & the whole oldskool phenomena.

Bought some commercial releases, euro, rave, jungle, whatever was out there to buy really

Found DJs, roughly 1993. Everyone would buy a mixtape from nights like the edge, helter skelter, raindance, fantazia, dreamscape etc and then everyone would borrow everyone elses tapes. Guys like carl cox, digweed, lenny dee, slipmatt, vibes, dj hype, fabio, grooverider, mickey finn, ratpack, top buzz, tony de vit, trevor rockliffe

Began buying whole tape packs, hardcore, 4beat, oldskool, drum&bass

Discovered gabber, trancecore, hard techno, speedcore via the odd tapes on those 4-6-8-12 packs.

Found trance roughly 1996. Most sets I'd buy would be harder trance though, faster, those that weren't included earlier works from cosmic baby, dance2trance, humate amongst a plethora of swiss stuff and uk stuff too.

Moved mnore from hardcore to trance amongst 1998, fully switching over in 99. finally got some ids for the older trance i'd heard from guys like andy cocup, qattara, salt tank, vincent de moor etc.

since then i've been addicted to trance (pre 2004) and in 2004 i got into loop techno, some funky techno & moved onto psychedelic/progpsy/progtrance of today.

Mashed in amongst it all were house, breaks, bigbeat, and garage, mostly what we could hear on the radio or on those tape packs.

Hmm let's see here...

Got into a lot of happy hardcore in the early/mid 90's

Then was introduced to orbital and moby in later 90's..really liked that!

Antiloop kicked my ass in the 90's as well. Really liked their sound and started buying heaps of compliations. Was also enjoying goa

Then had a few years gap, when I didn't pay much attention to edm, although french house did my liking then

Then after going to a gig with Jonathan Lisle, got into Prog and prog breaks, and deep prog with the early chris micali stuff

My taste evolved to prog trance, psy and deeper darker trance
