[pille'ocheoni]

Some old Magnetic North stuff by D. Clarke.

Also had the "motor" stuff from Detroit too I found. May, Atkins, T-
1000, Carl Craig, etc.. around 91'

[pille'ocheoni]

APHEX TWIN
1992

[bitch one]

my mum gave me a white dove and played me adrenalin by njoi

[invisibleplanet]

actually, i think it was John Peel who got me into techno.

[piscaries]

dj skull turned me on to techno. he's still my fav producer.

[jukka]

the first two times in clubs...first stammheim and then tresor got me into techno !!!since these visits i am totally addicted to techno ;)

[Marolo]

logical progression
from punk > to techno

[Weishaupt]

i started with kraftwerk and highnrg-stuff. i bought my first record with 8 years.
when i was 13 i heard a tape of roland casper and oliver bondzio. tracks like"this is cocaine speaking" and "let me see dance" or "drugoverlord" was the reason for loving electronic club music.

with 15 i had my first time in the "space-club cologne" and started my active party life.

[aleks]

detroit...berlin

[jukka]

seems like there are a lot of hightech punks out in the world !!!
i used to listen to punk as well..........

[piscaries]

i think the most common transition if from punk or metal to techno. seems to be a very common conversion.

[CHIP TRONIC]

although it may sound queer: Sven Väth got me in to techno

[thetonewrecker]

GBH "city baby attacked by rats"
Gangg Green, The Exploited, Murphy's law, JFA, DK, DRI,

oh hot damn, those were the days of the cassette tapes playing in the car over and over til they broke. Then the dj mix tapes took over and more bass...less treble.

[pille'ocheoni]

yes im a punk>techno>experimental>noisecore>ambeint

or soul>funk>jazz>house>deep house>downtempo>avant garde>experimental

[Weishaupt]

i was a grain of sand

well, after 10 hours straight some people must start to like it. :-)

marathon sets...the maniac.

[LEFTHANDLOU]

I think it started with the old Georgio Moroder stuff that he did for Donna Summers. Kinda disco, but if you check it out its actually kinda techno on the later stuff. Of course Kraftwerk, and Mills too.

[enigmatic]

I liked stuff by aphex twins and chemical brothers

but im not a big fan of techno :)

but now im more interested in it because of my friend Gernot whos part of the group aphroism :) they cool

jes.....it was a väth set when i lost y voice the first time.....
i cry and cry hours about hours......and i cant speak anything(really!!!not the littlest sound) 2 days after this set...............


i had to write down the things i wanted....hehehe

[Irrungenwirrungen]

L-F-O
Local Pirate radio DJs Astrix & Space (Sheffield)
Into the harder side of things, I reckon Drought1- Jay Denham had a huge influence on me going out & starting to buy loads of stuff.

[pille'ocheoni]

im very picky with my techno............lots of thought put into it is my choice............lazy no brainer's have no appell to me........its the stuff like c_v and tubejerk/si begg...that really get me on the roll...................and also minimal tachno from the days of ritchie and mills............and even the ultra deep shit floating between the lines of pete moss etc.... type shit..............

never really got into straight techno 4/4 floor type stuff, but i can dig..............i look for surprises...............and hype in techno that is

he used to be good____but i guess his time is just over !!!

[grobelaar]

2Unlimited - There's no limits...

Definitely the track that defined a genre...

"techno, techno, techno. techno" although when I looked on their website it wasn't in the lyrics - so I can only assume that that must have been ad-libed in a moment of obvious enthusiasm of the great techno enterprise that they were so obviously involved in creating...

[4md]

I've been in to techno because of the Belgian clubs... 1st "the Villa" then "Café d'anvers" which was for me a revelation because of the incredible atmosphere in this club ....

[owain_k]

The Orb & Early Shamen stuff i guess.

Also, my first Fabio, Grooverider & Carl Cox tapes from around 1990/1991 :)

[SGT]

My sister used to be involved with the detroit techno scene in the late '80s. She gave me a basement tape done by a friend of hers named Carl Craig. I played it until it wore out. Also i used to sit in my room when i was supposed to be sleeping on fridays with the lights off listening to a dj known as The Wizard on WJLB tear it up. I had a period where i didn't hear techno at all. Then i went to a party thrown by Transmat in the old Atlas Furniture Building off of Gratiot in '95. I saw Derrick May spin a set that blew me away. After that i kissed any normal life goodbye. And here i am.

to be continued........

[Ruben A]

the Orb..... ;))
- still think these releases are some of the coolest and most beautifull experimental electronic stuff ever heard...

[tsr_tomas]

first of all. La style - james brown is dead.
Secound. U96 - das boot.

then:
Acid: Freddie fresh (pulsar recordings, Dox03), Acid kirk, Esp etc etc...
Techno: Landstrumm (brown by august).
Electro: Sexual harrasment (i need a freak), Egyptian lover.

you get the picture.

[Atarythm]

I was a totally speedcore and breakcore freak and then I heard the Sativae 13 by Jamie Lidell and the Subhead Remixes by Dave Tarrida which gave me a lot of interest for this kind of music and then the meeting with the whole mercurochrome/sci-fi beats/neutronic guys brought me totally in electro/techno...

[thetonewrecker]

ha ha..what about "Baloony" on the flipside? damn "nitrous oxide" sample.

[jukka]

in the early beginning i listened to the hardcore/gabba tracks___buying thunderdome cd's and stuff like that

[MUX]

uuuuuuu! Egyptian lover! what an amazing groove! pity it has the shitty 'egypt' melody but i really like that track.

I was also converted by the same sounds as you.. thomas

[phil]

Human resource - Dominator.
Interactive - Who is elvis.
Misteria - who killed JFK.
Traumatic stress - who the fuck is james brown.

I like the story where he invited some of his close pals to thailand to celebrate the millenium new years and basically nobody was able to play records except him for like 18+ hours, at some point he just passed out on top of the decks, then woke up again and asked who else is going to a bar with him hehe

[MUX]

[wheezer]

mux I think everybody has some of those =)

[MUX]

how about a green velvet story? he wants american buffalo chicken wings strickly before he plays? or that Speedy J asks for a sandwich & the monitors can have edges?
oh my what i see in some of those dj contracts.. you wouldnt imagine.....
or a cetain english Globetrooter that aasks for coke in his contract.. and he isnt talking the fuzzy drink ( like we thought )

but i wouldnt make any sven stories, cause he reads the board..

u are so rite - and this year was 1991 for me (which predate my aphex twin introduction)
I remember staying at a g/f's house in Hackney, on a beautiful day in the summer, and listening to the Orb for the very first time. :)

[MUX]

how about http://images.bravenet.com/brpics/smilie/censored.gif, after about 12 'discoburgers' & 13 hours of playing, riding ontop of a recycling skip and making the http://images.bravenet.com/brpics/smilie/censored.gifcrew push him up a hill ( that he was rolling down after he got ontop )..

ps. he as clean as shit nowadays.. seriously

[wheezer]

mux that story is downright symbolic lol

[MUX]

good im gonna edit now that u read it..
it was on a first come first served basis

[karitek]

me studying abroad in london and my friend denny taking me out to my first rave...loved it and never looked back. remember feeling that for the first time ever i had come home. i cannot thank her enough...

[spencer]

I was taken to a club in 89 where they were playing prodigy etc before they were big. My friend gave me LSD which i knew nothing about at the time and that was it! I could hear the music. I dont mess with LSD these days though. His name was Jason Patterson.

[MUX]

just fill in blanks with a german 'uber' deejay superstar ok?

[zombie ritual]

My techno initiation was pretty weird. Being totally fed up with guitar music, I went to a Prodigy show, not really knowing anything they had done, and I must say, despite all the cheesiness of the sound, I was impressed by the energy they were able to release. In the subsequent summer I bought "Analogue bubblebath II" by a certain AFX, aka Richard James, which I still like today, and some other pretty shitty records. Then went regularly to a local bar in which a dj played downtempo stuff that was fresh than, like Tricky, Portishead etc., at the same time being fascinated by early Sähkö records stuff they played at certain times on my favourite radio station. I didn't buy electronic music on a regular basis until spring 95, when a specialized record store opened in my neighbourhood.

[debord]

The Advent live and Billy Nasty at Temptation (RIP) at Lakota in Bristol was my introduction to Techno - that and the old Liberator parties.
Yum, techno.

[7875]

hearing old 69 (Carl Craig) tracks were IT for me.
also, DBX tracks like 'Losing Control'
add some Woody McBride (the releases on 4D in particular)
DJAX cuts by Ludovic Nevarre, Thomas Heckman, Mike Dunn, Ron Trent, Steve Stoll, Stefan Robbers.

[phaedrus]

The first track that got me interested was " James brown is dead- la style". So much energy, so powerful! The first techno DJ liked was a local, called Rick Angel...very nasty acid & techno.

[tsr_tomas]

phaedrus: WORD !

[Marolo]

I want to copulate with unit moebius

[Mirsha]

My startings for proper techno came about because I downloaded this Jeff Mills CD "Live at the Liquid Room" that I'd heard a lot about and loved it to bits.

Then when I was back in my hometown a few months later this girl started chatting me up and when I mentioned I listen to techno (meaning the oldskool QFX, Ultrasonic stuff) she started digging me. We went back to a party at her mates and she put the Mills CD on and when I said, "Thats Jeff Mills" her face lit up. We ended up going back to hers where she had decks and a ton of records.

Apart from that I'm very self taught about techno. I've always had internet acess so I just raped everything I could using Audiogalaxies "Artists other people liked" option as well as just getting down and dirty and speaking with people about it over a number of forums.

[jess-ssej]

I grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
...Drop Bass Parties...

it's all about the psycho-pagan-warehouse-psuedosatanic-bonfires-guys-in-tunics-and-goats-heads.

yep...that pretty much sums it up.

[piscaries]

hopefully you steered clear of madison, jess? that's a bit of a candy town.. milwaukees good though. i never got to make it to any parties up there, but if i remember right they threw a couple down here in chicago.

[namshub]

i too was a punk kid - tho i really dug severed heads, skinny puppy, artofnoise, kraftwerk etc.. my friends took me to lame parties in tha late 80's which i just did'nt get - i loved tha drugs, tho i hated tha musik (hip house etc). then in '91 i traveled to india and by accident went to goa. I was totally blown away... huge beach partys playin really sleazy dark acid and freaky musik. was amazing. i went back a year later and it was still good, tho i assume it all went down hill reall fast - god knows tha musik was abhorrent by '95:o)...

[ischo]

the first "electronic" stuff i loved must've been aphex.
and then i was taken to the omen at the age of 16....geeeez
that was the time where people were dancing around in pink leggings, with SKI-BOOTS (yes...) and gasmasks n shit.
metal buckets hanging from the ceiling for more "rumble"...
i was shocked, didn't get the picture until i set foot into that hole
again a few years later.... mh... must've been '94, '95 sumfin.

and with the help of some little freinds... i understood, kinda

I had a good time once dancing to Paul Oakenfold in Cream.

There... I've said it.

I was totally spannered at the time though...

The reason I was at Cream that night was for Deep Dish.

Hence dancing to Paul Oakenfold.

Really, thinking about it, I should have gone home.

[Sheridan]

I remember getting turned on to techno after seeing frankie bones play. so I started to research more and trying to find the kind of techno that was right for me. that all came to a head on two ocasions. one was seeing mike dearborn in baltimore at sunday mass in 95 I think. he was playing that hard jacking chicago acid techno. then I saw Adam X in philly shortly there after and it was over. I went to sonic groove in NY and the whole SG crew took me in and bombarded me with dope stuff. kept asking me questions trying to find what sound I was into. after that experience I started to mail order all my records from them. and I atribute Adam X and Reade Truth with teaching me almost everything I know about techno.
