luo072s Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 I was living in Belgium for 6 months, and couple friends talked about the "I Love Techno Festival" in Gant Belgium, I didn't know what the music was all about, until I saw Sven Vath and Paul Van Dyk. After that headed that summer to The biggest party in the world Love Parade in Berling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bling Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 actually my first experience was Ultra two years ago and the first dj to make me fall in love with this music is drumrollEDGAR V.. when i heard him spin at ULTRA i was mesmerized and since then ive loved trance and house.but even before then i first heard techno when i played wipeout on ps1. i loved the tracks and had to find out who mixed it. Of course it was PRODIGY the first group in this style of music i really dug. and still do to this day PRODIGY rocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livin42nite Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 Cheesy pop dance got me into house and other forms of electronic music. Can't remember when exactly, but im talking songs like the real mccoy and haddaway. I kept lookin for dance music like it and ended up finding tons of other stuff like the funky green dogs.

erickamikaze Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 I think like most of us on the board, I have been addicted to music since I was a little kid. I can remember listening to the "odd" music and not being like all the other kids. As far back when I was 5 and 6 years old I was listening to the sounds of the early breaks / rap groups like Grand Master Flash, New York City Breakers, Alex and the City Crew, then slowly evolving to the other music like RunDMC , Beastie Boys etc, and then the sounds of Depeche Mode, and Midnight Oil. I was always the kid with the boombox and mix tapes and taking them to all my friends houses and they would be like what the hell is that?Well, my first introduction into dancing was break dancing and then into the teen clubs when I was 13. Since I loved to dance and didn't care what anyone thought, and there was girls dancing, I would go to the dance club and dance my ass off every week, not many other 13 year old males would even step foot on the dance floor. The most memorable music that got me hooked back in the day was Paul Lekakis - Boom Boom Boom (Lets Go Back To My Room), Midnight Oil- Beds Burning, and still one of the best tunes ever Depeche Mode's - Personal Jesus. When I was old enough to drive, I started going to smaller underground clubs/ hangouts in Ohio and Michigan. Most of it was House and drum and bass. I did not realize it at the time, but a few of the nights, I was listening to the originators of house in the states, Derrick May, Juan Atkins, and Kevin Saunderson. If I could only go back and relive those nights. I then went to a few bigger parties around the Detroit area, and the music has been in my, body, and soul ever since.

houze-kitty Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 I have to say i was first influenced by electronic sound in the 80"s, when breakdancing was at an all time high.....kraftwerk"s "Numbers" and "Tour de France" come to mind, as do Herbie Hancock"s "Rock it".....hell, even early hip hop songs were heavily influxed with electronic sound......any1 remember "egyptian lover" or "siberian nights"? Then around 90" my cousin introduced me to what he called "industrial" music.....said it was from Chicago....i was mesmerized by that early crazy "industrial" sound..(love that name) i also loved cheesy early 90"s "pop house" songs.....early chi town house was growinggggg on me....and lo and behold--- a house head is born! i also have to say i adored high energy trance back in the rave hey day---crazy times!

I myself was introduced to the underground during the "Fire and Ice" days at the old "Institute". The "Kitchen Club" as well was a stepping stone for me to the underground. Another impressive memory was experiencing "Front 242" live at the "Cameo Theater" which is now known as "CroBar"The track that changed my insight on music was a wicked remix of "U2's - Sunday Bloody Sunday" which I heard at the "Kitchen Club". After hearing such a beautiful re-work....my old school bass and freestyle crave was overpowered by the "sounds of the underground" which I continue to crave in a huge way. After hearing such a remix, I was left with the urge to land this vinyl leaving me to searching multiple underground vinyl shops throughout the States which all ended up being my new source for vinyl's (no more BPM Records). I eventually migrated from dealing with vinyl shops in the states to dealing with vinyl shops around the WORLD. Mainly the UK and Germany.To sum it all up:The Place/Places: Institute (Fire and Ice) and the Kitchen ClubThe Song: U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday (Underground Bootleg Mix)The Result: OBBY <-----This beat freak right hereErikamikaze...I can also relate to you as well. I myself remember being the "odd one for liking such wicked sounds.They laughed at me because I was soooo different. I laughed at them because they where all the same. :D PS: Seeing Sasha at "Firestone" in Orlando before he even thought about tagging up with Digweed was also a huge stepping stone for me.Thanks for the reply everyone. Trust me when I say this is my strange way of getting to know everyone better.Peace,OBBYwww.soturecords.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I myself was there that night. The event was being thrown for Simon's (the owner) birthday. I actually knew what i was about to experience concidering that in those days, DJ Dan was one of my favorites when it came to breaks.
