djmadness Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 First Club - Emrald City - Glenn Frisha was the DJFirst House Tape - Had to be The Todd Terry Project in 88 ( I don't think that was my true house tape, but that is the one that really changed my life)As far as the first house DJ I ever heard, it was Todd Gardner (Subliminal) when I was like 12 years old. He spun at my older cousins birthday party. ( I was pretty much hooked from there)I have been around for a long time, I only regret missing the last party that Tony played at Zanzibar, cause I was out of town.

lecy337 Posted May 5 Author Report Share Posted May 5 wise guy... I was in some club, not sure where...a friend of mine gave me some pill, not sure what...don't remember who the hell was dj'ing but the music was good and I had too much fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lecy337 Posted May 5 Author Report Share Posted May 5 wow... some of you brought me back...way back...back in the day.....My 1st (major)House club...was the tunnel, I think it was 93 cant remember who was spinning I was to shocked at what I was a witness too...it was like a circus, and all the freaks were lose! (I loved it)I remember feeling overwhelmed and didnt want to leave - The music consumed me and I was non the happier.The first DJ was JV, Old Sound Factory...my brother use to bring back tapes for me - he was better at sneaking out then I was. lolI'm not sure of my Offical 1st house CD, because I generally had Tapes (back then CD players were expensive) and if it wasnt JV or Moralles, it was a Compilation.Love Eric Morillo def. a favorite...I have the richard humpty vision vs. bad boy bill - house connection 2 (or I had... some one lifted it....and I've missed it dearly)along with Frankie Knuckles....UDi remember staying up late on the weekends early 90's listen to Clivilles and Cole (C&C music factory) spinning late night on the radio... I love all the moive and cartoon clips they'd sample...2nd club exp. was Pallidium...Area with JV...damn I loved his dancers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funeralhome Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 i want to say frankie bones, but i'm not sure we can categorize him as a "house" dj per se.. anyway it was at vinyl for "joy", a stuck on earth party they did every year for christmas in '98.

crowina Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 i was into the industrial scene in before house... but for house i would go to outlaw-raves a lot in Brooklyn and long island... most of them were friends that d.j.'ed.... Frankie bones at Voodoo/ Caffeine on Long Island... i guess dj Bent would be one i could think of that i really like... then i worked at Tunnel... so that was a fun time... all new to me at the time.....Keoki at limelight was the "thing" but i really did not like him much...

rudeboyyouth Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 OMG that place was sick. It was like the most odd looking place on the outside, but inside was crazy. Like an old church or something, i could be wrong? I can't remember a damn thing from that place, but i was there every weekend.Yeh, the place was nuts. I don't remember what the actual building was used for. I always thought it was some type of old country club or house. They used to hold the parties in the basement, and they'd pack hundreds of people in there. All of the post CPI crowd used to pack in there around 5 am, and the party would go strong well into the mid afternoon hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombjack Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 first time i heard good dance music was an old jumpin' jack frost tape from about 89, that i got a hold of in 91. it snowballed with a load of house and rave tapes till i was old enough to get into clubs where the first good house dj i seen was glen molloy (local hero at the time).had loads of cds and tapes but i never got bitten by the quality house bug till 94-95 with the fathers of sound, the sashadigweed2headedbeast and a whole host of fuckers that are not as good as i thought back then. cunts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gambitrah Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 1993 Was a rave called Eden 2 - Josh Wink and KeokiFirst time I heard house was a year or 2 before that when I got a mix tape from my bro of some euro\german house.Someone mentioned Gonzo... we had him and Tommy Tunes out here years ago for some parties. Those are some awesome guys and dj's. They still around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djaparz Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 actually I have to say the very first mixed tape i heard was not considered house music but freestyle/disco stuff - it was hot - dj dropping accapellas over other songs beats - drop samples over and over and then playing the entire track outi got the tape from a kid back in 1986 who worked in an Arcade in Brooklyn - everyone knows him now as FRANKIE BONES!!!

househead4eva Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 first club had to be escapes in long island on teen night in 1989, french kiss was the greatest record that year. we would also battle other kids and dance all night. some of my other first records were maurice, this is acid, and doug lazy let the rythmn pump. Also deskee, let there be house was one of my favorites. Also i cant forget break for love. my first older teen experience was probably limelight the dj was most likely gonzo and I was hooked for every.
