what track/s got you listening to Edm?

[djsethnichols]

What track would you give this title to?

For me, I would have to say
Klf '3am eternal'

I think back to when this came out in 89. I was into some of the rap, pop, r&b thing. This track combined all of these things, as well as a lot of synth and electronic beat styles. I think it was one of the most eye opening tracks for me.
Some runner up tunes would be
Prodigy 'out of space'
Orbital 'are we here'
Captain Hollywood project 'more and more'

How bout yawl?

i actually started listening to EDM by way of pretty cheesy trance which i can't bear to listen to now. then i got ahold of sander's nubreed and nick warren's budapest GU and started progressing to more underground. luckily i moved to atlanta and steve sorted me out real quick with proper underground. don't think there's a chance i'd ever stop listening to EDM now. thanks steve!

Re: what track/s got you listening to Edm?

To tell you the truth where I grew up (Northeast Ohio) EDM was almost non existant. Seem liked all the clubs played 80's cheese music.....so i didnt even really hear EDM untill I moved to Florida and a coworker (djsinbox on ms) gave me copy of that 90's Sasha/Digweed Renaissance 3cd set to listen too.

I was instantly hooked and now almost listen exclusevly to EDM

Hell yeah. I was rocking out to that CD back in the day as well. Lot of classics on there.

Wow, blast from the past!

I was listening to a lot of synth-pop and synth-rock in the late 80's/early 90's -- stuff like New Order, Ministry, NIN, KMFDM, Front 242, MLWTTKK, Skinny Puppy, etc. Note sure exactly when I started to get in to EDM specifically because it was just sort of a natural transition to add EDM into the fold. It was probably something cheeseball like 2 Unlimited's "Twilight Zone," Human Resource's "Dominator," The Movement's "Jump," or LA Style's "James Brown is Dead." Tough to listen to that stuff now, but every now and again I'll pop in Praga Khan's "Injected With a Poison" or Apotheosis' "O Fortuna" for old time's sake. Lots of great memories associated with those tracks (which I'll spare you) .

+1. The stand out c.d that really got me into edm was Sasha and Digweeds Communicate c.d. I think my eyes popped out of my head when I heard that for the first time at a photographers studio. I ran out and got that c.d right after the job was done and the rest is history!!

Kraftwerk: Tour De France, Afrika Bambatta: Planet Rock/World Destruction, Art of Noise: Close to the Edit/Beatbox, could probably throw in Tom Tom Club: Genuis of Love, Malcom Maclaran's: Buffalo Gals, Egyptian Lover: Egyptian Lover, Detroit Techno, Chicago House, FSOL, The Orb, Aphex Twin, Banco De Gaia, Psykcik Warriors of Gaia, Wagon Christ, Sabres of Paradise, 808 State, Larry Levan, Steve Silk, Junior Vazquez Laurent Garnier, why not throw Madonna in as well if you mixed a dance track of her's back in the day it pretty much made you legit. New Order, DM, Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, OMD, and so many others.

I Listened to alot of NIN back in the day.The first full on dance track for me was probably Robert Miles- Children. I had alot of the cheesie Compilations back in the day. MDMA mixed by Anthony Acid & DJ Scribble. I had and still have alot of the old Ministry of Sound "The Annuals" Ferry Corsten's Trance Nation's on MOS. Alot of Random mix compilations that I have no idea who mixed. Alot Of The Twisted Records.Basically all these got me into EDM. I also was into Brooklyn Bounce, La Bouche, Ice MC, alot of HI-NRG Trance.
