    Good knows, but probably something on Peel or Annie Nightgale's request show. Did see the Orb in Cardiff and Prodigy at Swansea Ritzy (Experience tour with Ratpack supporting) while at uni.
    Cheers

        it was originally disco that got me hooked on dance music...I was playing my mom's LPs of Saturday Night Fever and Grease endlessly (hell I was only 5 or 6 at the time ), but from there I was fortunate to have heard WBLS & Kiss Radio during the 80s here in NY where the best of best of the underground NYC scene would come and play. DJs like Timmy Regisford (headed the BLS show), Tony Humphries (headed the kiss show), David Morales, Frankie Knuckles, Larry Levan and many more, sometimes even live from some of the best clubs of the day.

        From there, I was hooked...
        "Work like you don't need the money.
        Love like you've never been hurt.
        Dance like nobody's watching.
        Sing like nobody's listening.
        Live like it's Heaven on Earth."

            The first EDM album I ever bought because of one track I loved was "Bites" from Skinny Puppy in 1985 (had to check the discography and was surprised how old it is already). The track "Assimilate" was huge in discos here in Germany.

                Mine was more a pop/hip-hop/disco introduction to EDM... I loved my Breakdance I & II movie soundtracks .... especially "TOUR DE FRANCE" performed by KRAFTWERK & "Electric Boogaloo" performed by Ollie and Jerry.

                    grew up in ny/fl, so i was exposed to the whole freestyle thing, which sorta later fused into the breaks scene out here, but the first techno that really caught my ear...prodigy- fat of the land (around 96/97). i still listen to it from time to time...

                            I remember a tape that my father has with some Jean-Michel Jarre (might be Oxygen), Giorgio Moroder - The Chase and other several names that are now lost in the spiral of time.
