mugwump Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 We all got into it somehow right? Either a friend took us to a club or a rave years ago and we where hooked or we somehow stumbled into it musicaly through a logical progression (to borrow Bukem's label's name) of sounds. For me it was in Europe..I listened to goth and new wave as a kid and then disscovered kraftwerk and electronic like groups that painted a yellow brick road to my first rave in Tuscany. It was in a circus tent in a field. I can't remember all the DJs but Adamski was really big at that time and there was no real "scene" look. That is to say no glowsticks or "ravers". Just a bunch of people really fucked up dancing to acid house. I was hooked. when I moved to NY I was all about disco 2000, Nasa parties and liquid Sky. Then I went through several transformations and here I am today. The older mugwump that just can't shake out electronic beeps and boops from his head. How about you guys? where did it all begin for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyskribz57 Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 I think it was a friend of mine who first let me listen to one of her PVD cd's. I think that is what first turned me onto the whole scene. The first club I ever went to was Exit, haha. Thinking nack, I cant believe what I was missing at Twilo. But deffinatley Exit was what really turned me onto the scene, I mean to see such a "what was once," such an underground world, where things that went on inside the club stayed inside the club sorta deal you know? It was pretty cool.And I was just thinking the other day, i was looking at some old flyers from Twilo, and I have not missed a Friday night in about 2 months.

mugwump Posted March 26 Author Report Share Posted March 26 Originally posted by myrlin:Quick suggestion, I like reading yur posts but please use paragraphs!!!We actually had a discussion about this over the wkend... Pragraphs? spellinG? Run on sentences? Yup I have no grammer skills..I tend to fall more into that Beat style of "free form" stream of consciousness brain diareha type of writing that so few people can stomach. But then again that's because other people know the rules of grammer and mugwump was too stoned in english class to pay atention. I guess that's why I'm a cartoonist club head fuck up and not an average office worker with a normal job. (Although I'm sure you can all relate to the club fuck head part) L* Point taken Myrlin..I'll do my best for the board.. But tell me. When did YOU get into the scene?

dale77 Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 I got into the club scene when my friend introduced me to house. I was never really into house music but she really was and after she had gone to Sound Factory for the first time, she wouldn't stop talking about how good the music was. And she was constantly playing these great songs for me.I was pretty much hooked after the first time I went to SF. And I've really come to love house music. ------------------You're only young once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awkwardscience Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 I am from upstate and my friends and I would frequent the clubs in my area-we all had heard about the seen in NYC, instantly we were curious-so we got up the heart and the money and we made our way down to the tunnel of all places-it was a sat night and as far as we knew the tunnel was the hottest party for 18+ on a sat night-we went and the place blew my mind-it was so big and the people had so much energy-(compared to upstate clubs)-we stayed till it closed and it was weird for us to walk out into the sunlight-the music -the club-the people- it was all so intenses-since that day I have been hittin everything from SF-to limelight-to exit-centro-fly- I just can't get enough-Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

princezt Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 My first club experience was few years ago. My friend took me to CPI out in the hamptons for my B-day,and I loved it.It was like a new world to me...the music,the lights,the people and most of all the intensity. That shared energy between thousands of strangers was beyond me and I was hooked. Now I frequent Exit, Sound Factory, Limelight...Any where the music is good.Who would of thought?? ------------------I am who i am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lextacy Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 Scotty Scribz!!!!!! I love your quote!!! Thats one of my favorite songs, I get the chills when I hear it, the words are so true! Well, my sophomore year at UMass I tried ecstasy at a cheesy club and loved it. That summer I took it by myself at the Lemonwheel in Maine, and realized that this was the most incredible thing in the world to take when you are dancing to your favorite music. Junior year at UMass I found my friend Jen who also liked ecstasy a lot and she and I plus two others took it, went up to the frats where for some reason there was an e party. We found the other cool people who wanted to go back to this one girls house and dance to beats. After that, the group of us just grew and grew and grew and what had started from throwing our own house parties at UMass became going to Kaos in Springfield and then raves all over western Mass and Boston. I met some awesome kids who introduced me to the music and the DJ's that I now love.Now, after being in Mass for four years I have the benefit of being in NYC where I can hear some of the best DJ's!So thats it. I stopped taking e for about 6 monthes and have just begun to take it again very recently but that is now going to stop and I will just go hear the music and dance.

abgrover Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 an old boyfriend of mine was/is a dj. (6 years later he is now my fianceé) my freshman year of college... introduced me to electronic music (i listened to punk, ska, and alternative music at the time)dragged me out to my first rave (Mars in Syracuse in spring of 1996) and lots of local parties in the upstate scene at the time (Drew from Binghamton and Phato from Syracuse).

nessalove Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 Carbon underage baby... and been addicted ever since. That club will always have a place in my heart. It introduced me to house, and I was so upset when I heard it burned down a couple of years ago. After that it was this crazy club called Cricket somewhere in Irvington which is a Polish club and was just really fun. I rediscovered New York last year, and have been loving it ever since.
