philippio Posted November 12 Report Share Posted November 12 Technically I started clubbing when I was 15. My cousin got me into it. She was 18 at the time and tried to hook me up with one of her friends from school. Obviously we were not in the US. It was in Greece in the summer of 1993. Back then it was all Europop. I was sort of into that sound until I realized what real dj's were. That was when I saw Danny Tenaglia perform in Athens. I had no idea who he was. I just saw a NY Yankees hat in the booth and asked somebody who was djing and then they told me. From that moment, I was hooked. I didn't know all the subgenres of dance music but I started going out and learning. Then, I started listening toi Oakenfold and Sasha and Digweed and all those dj's. Then they got old and started doing it for the money so they didn't give a shit about being ecclectic with their sets. I gave up on big name dj's when I saw Howells at Arc. From that moment on, I vowed to stay away (except of course for DT's sets). Then I started getting into the roots of house music and I also liked the sound of the west because it sounded more "natural" and funky. Progressive had died for me a little while after Lucien Foort, Tarrantella and Redanka, etc, etc). I will now only settle for (under the house moniker) tech house, west coast house, deep house, latin funky house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orisha Posted November 12 Report Share Posted November 12 I was about 20 when I discovered it, in 1994, with my best friend. We stumbled upon The Club @ The Firestone In Orlando, and shortly thereafter we met some passionate movers and shakers, who I still know today. It's been an awesome journey now that I think about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erickamikaze Posted November 12 Report Share Posted November 12 I first stepped into a club when I was 14. Yes it was a teen club, but that is where I first experienced a different sound than was being played on the radio. I can still remember to this day the two songs that I influenced me greatly, Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus and Midnight Oil - Beds Burning. I kept going to the teen club till I turned 16, then started going to bars and clubs where I had friends playing in bands, made new friends and found my way into the "dance" clubs. I was always the kid break dancing when I was around 8 years old and always had mix tapes of my favorite songs.When I turned 16 and could drive I found my way up to Detroit to some warehouse parties and later to the State Theater. The sounds of Kevin Saunderson, Jaun Atkins, Derrick May, and others were the DJ's that introduced me to House. I No one else got me into the club scene, I was trying to get all my others friends into it, of course not may understood it. I then started hearing a new sound that was reminiscent of and old sound I used to break to. The new sound was from the likes of Faline, Icey, and then I got hooked on breaks and the rest is history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest brwneydtrouble Posted November 12 Report Share Posted November 12 I was 16 the first time I went to a club - Amnesia. I actually went to Opium for the first time since then this past friday.The first time I was really blown away by the MUSIC was the first time I went to Space - for Saeed and Palash in March of 2002. A bit of a late comer to the club world, but I think I have more than made up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lyrik Posted November 12 Report Share Posted November 12 16/17 yrs old in Chicago 93' went to a lot of "raves" when they still could be called that. Mostly in really bad neighborhoods, warehouses, lofts, ghetto rollerrinks and even to the extreme of churches and funeral homes were all places that I seen today's top DJs before they were on magazine covers.

guyman1966 Posted November 12 Report Share Posted November 12 It was June 1978 when I walked into my first club. It was the Mother of all clubs - Studio 54. I was with my sister and her boyfriend and we just parked the car when her boyfriend broke out some herb. When that was done we went into the club and hung out with all of their friends. Soon the snow began to fall and the place was nutz. Sex, Drugs and bad Disco music everywhere. People were lined up to do bumps off of some guys ass.
