it was a progression from breaking it down. oldschool <3 breaks. my first love

becoming a die hard fan of electronic music was a big turning point in my life.
I'm sure it was for alot of you guys as well.
Like, It changed who I was as an artist completely.

See It was shortly after that that I started smoking pot and teaching myself how to produce music with my computer. I recorded my first album when I was only 14 using programs like Mixman, Rebirth and Goldwave.

If it wasnt for electronic music, I doubt I would have became an aspiring musician/dj/lyricist/m.c.

I was just thinking how its kind of neat how a certain style of music can have so much influence and impact on a persons life.

after the comedown, looking back...

Chemical Brothers, The Prodigy, and the Orb back in the late 90's got me hooked to electronic based music. I wasn't a huge fan of d&b until '99 when I first saw Marcus Visionary @ Simple III. Then followed my crazed obsession to DNB. I would say that synth heavy music had a huge influence on me. I even had a nice collection of Hard-House records back in the day.

songs like Sash - Equador, back in 1998?

[magic_hands]

i dont remember too much from back in those days.. but flippy and his friends brought me to my first party.. sesamea street.

[wtf_wtf]

ill give him credit... i owe it to Alex, i honestly hated electronic until i was forced to listen to it in his van. snice then i never looked back.

riding back on the sky train smashed out of my mind, a chick let me listen to her ipod and I've been going strong ever since

[nabs]

always, i cant even remember my first time listning to techno. i guess ever since i knew what music was.

[FireWire]

When I lived in Ukraine, back in 1994 - we only had one foreign channel that we could receive on our TV - and that channel was MTV.

So MTV being the only "cool" channel any young boy could watch in Ukraine in '94 had a lot of eurodance music videos. I watched that channel daily and all those eurodance videos formed my liking of electronic music. Now I appreciate a lot of electronic music but eurodance back in '94 was what mainly got me into it.

[whatitdo]

drugs got me 'liking' trance.

That lasted for a couple months, then I stopped doing drugs often, and heard drum n bass and techno. Dont need drugs to like that.
