| I was into house in the early 90's but then I went through a rocker phase from about 95 to 99...then I heard Big Love and that was it. Haven't followed or listened to popular music since... |

I enjoyed many EDM songs early on from Daft Punk, the Prodigy, Chem Bros, etc etc (of course Robert Miles "Children") like that...
but the tunes that sucked me down into the rabbit hole were Oakenfold's 99 Essential Mixes... some of them still sound amazing. |

At the begining of this thread I was starting to feel old LMAO!
I think i've kinda always been into it, with the scene out of England and the 80's early 90's, New Order, Erasure, Depeche Mode, Yazoo, Dead or Alive...
But really what did it, was the eletroniCA stuff, Chemical Brothers - Leave Home, Prodigy - Charly, Underworld - Rez, of course Daft Punk Homework album.... your old rave classics like Liquid - Sweet Harmony, Utah Saints - Something Good, OPUS III - It's A Fine Day... plus I had the oppurtunity by detroit to hear lots of techno and house, Speedy J - Pull Over, Lis Louis - French Kiss, Inner City - Good Life & Big Fun....
Plus being from Windsor you had what I like to call the Ritchie effect...
Other classics...
MAARS - Pump Up The Volume
LA STYLE - James Brown Is Dead
THE MESSIAH - The Messiah (WHO LOVES YOU AND WHO DO YOU LOVE?)
808 STATE - Cubik & Pacific
Ohh so nostalgic.. even old german tech stuff like Westbam, Members of Mayday...
And Industrial! Don't forget your Industrial.. KMFDM, Nitzer Ebb, Front 242!
OK I lied...it was the Samba beat from my old Casio keyboard :( |

I was in OAC in 2000. My friend had always liked trance during high school and I used to make fun of him for it...until I really started to get exposed to it. He was big into Tiesto back then and he burned some copies of Magik 4, 5 and 6. I was pretty much hooked after that. I can't remember any particular song though...it was Tiesto and his style back then that drew me in and from him, I discovered PvD, Oakie, Armin, Ferry, Matt Darey......and the list goes on.
I've since moved on to prefer darker, housier beats but I still look fondly on those early days. |

I'm with you... in the middle 90s i really enjoyed the chemical bros and the prodigy a lot... and to a lessor extent I also liked daft punk... but euro was still my passion...
the other stuff I was all over in the late 90s (around 1999) was Oakey and Mauro's sets! ... thats was really kinda started the ball rolling for me switching to trance as my favourite gengre over euro.
Oh yea, and i was just loving the gatecrasher sets too... FACK....
memories... |

yeah I used to like that cheese in high school. Even tracks like Sandstorm were good and even that campy, if still catchy, theme song from the movie Studio 54. I always had an ear for that kind of music, but I was still pretty conscious of image back then (silly high school days) and figured it wasn't "cool". It's interesting though because I never became as passionately involved with music on any level until I started listening to trance.
I"ve always had a love for classical music too, since it's influenced heavily by melody without much lyrical input. I still prefer EDM that way for the most part. |
