Industrial music got me into dance music. MINISTRY, Skinny Puppy, KMFDM, and The Lords of Acid, got me into The Prodogy, Orbital, etc, etc... It was a long beautiful journey.

I listened to Trance when it was good so it got me into the whole drugs and dance scene. A colleague one day gave me a Dave Seamen mix tap and I fucking loved it - from there I got hold of some Sasha stuff and the rest is history.

The first time I heard Diggers was at the Viper room in 96?. I didn't know who he was, my friend took me. It was amazing.

I progressed through the new wave / goth / industrial genres. Then one night I witnessed Sasha & Digweed live.

And then I realized...like I was shot...Like I was shot with a
diamond...a diamond bullet right through my forehead...And I thought:
My God...the genius of that. The genius. The will to do that. Perfect,
genuine, complete, crystalline, pure.

My best friend was going to this rave club in Orlando in early 2000...well it wasn't really a club as much as it was a rave on ice. Anyways he used to see Fortier and Sanger. So I was dragged to a show one night and on the way home I heard Xpander for the first time. I was hooked. Not long after that I was into BT- Ima and ESCM, PVD- 7 words, Oakenfold- Tranceport, Voyage into Trance, Kimball Collins- Generation Trance 2000, and anything by RITM. Basically lots of trance and a little bit of breaks. Finally I started progressing to Sasha, Digweed, and any GU/Nubreed comp. Over the years my style has started to shift towards darker and techier stuff. Now I have a broader range of electronic musical tastes.

Yep, that's exactly how I got to where I am now. Was huge into the Wax Trax Sound around '91. Had always been a huge fan of Meat Beat Manifesto and when I heard the Aphex Twin Remix of Mindstream and the Orbital remix of Edge of No Control (in '93), it was all over. I had never heard anything by either one but loved it so much I got everything both did that I could get my hands on. From there I got into the whole warp catalog etc, and finally discovered Sasha/Digweed in '96. Meat Beat Manifesto was the bridge that brought the two worlds together (Thanx Jack Dangers). 11 years strong and it's still the reason I get out of bed in the morning. Could not live without it!!!

A long time ago I listened to an Armand van Helden CD my roommate at camp had. I guess that's how I got hooked to EDM.

[TheOutsider]

i had a few trance tracks but never got into it till i listed to a m8s funk/hard house then i found proggressive so now i listen to trance/progressive/hard style

[davetlv]

Having a proudhistory of trashy pop, i was forced to sit and listen to Tenaglia's GU London disk, then Lawler's Dark Drums, haven't heard pop since!
