my dad used to blast disco when I was a kid. And this song always stood stuck in my head...maybe it the 4/4 kick.
benny - bring the noise
that song got me into EDM..

Xpress 2 - Muzik Xpress
Made me realise that music below 135bpm was pretty groovy actually and that big subby basslines were more interesting than screeching mid-heavy ones.
love that tuneQuote:

didnt know it at the time but these little seeds would sprout for me years later. All I knew at the time as a young child was that they made me feel "funny" in a good way but I wasnt sure why.

This little bastard was hard to find in the early 90's back in the days of brick and mortar record shops. It was the first time I remember calling a radio station to find out the name of the song...and the obscure record shop I had to track it down at several cities away. Only to have to purchase a 2 CD set for this one song. Shout out to mom for driving me around as a kid and instilling in me my passion for music! :D Way before one could "google it" and download it.

Thanks to late night community college radio I was turned on to this gem...before I knew what "genres" even were.

One of my 1st vinyl purchases that introduced me to the world of "trance" during the middle of it's metamorphosis

The original version of Chime, the one dubbed off their homemade tape direct to vinyl. Back before Orbital had their cool logo...

The Orb's Adventures beyond the Ultraworld. Nothing touches it for a concept album. Until you see The Orb live literally playing their mixing desk as an instrument, you have no idea how plastic and flexible a track can be. They literally disassemble and reassemble familiar tracks in front of your ears until you hear them in a completely new way. Here's a clip of them live:

First time i heard The Orb - Earth (Gaia) on student radio i flipped out. of course i had no idea who the artist was at the time as the dj's were too stoned too announce the tracks lol.
songs that changed edm for me hmm. well the stuff that got me into edm initially was the stuff that was making the top40 charts like chemical brothers, prodigy, crystal method, fatboy slim etc. back in the late 90s. the stuff that changed it for me was the music that introduced me to the more "underground" genres of that time like drum&bass, idm, speed garage, hardhouse, psytrance, triphop and funky breaks.
too many to list, my tastes are large. but heres a few

this song sticks out in my mind in the late 80s as one of my first favs. i played through this casette twice. used to live overseas as a kid and remember going to a turkish casette shop to pick this badboy up again. it was funny because our cab driver was into electronic music, so he put it in the tape deck and jammed it. really got me into music in general.

this one can still make me melt if the mood is right. ive had a very long love affair with the chemical brothers.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoiGDzWhTV0
i know it's recent, but it made me decide to really dedicate some time and money to edm.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QV8eiSA4vqc
there were so many more and it's been a really long ride, across many different genres. fun to reminisce.
this got me into the chemical brothers
cool vid with skeletons
and maybe my favorite track from the whole of 'You've come a long way, baby'
Love Island
and both of those, combined with this showed me that not all EDM has to be 'shiny'
Super Stylin'
Cactus Crazy what a track so many good memories of Koh Phangan in 2003 dancin to thisQuote:

Surprised that no one has mentioned New Order's "Blue Monday" A truly seminal track.
most members weren't even born when that came out mate :)
i wasn't, missed it by 2 or 3 years
LOL Jester. In keeping with my elderly cumudgeonly ways, may I suggest Psychic TV's "Jack the Tab" EARLY Acid House.
Aha, an Old-Off! How about some Baleric?Quote:

Love this thread BTW, every page has made me dig and listen to stuff I haven't heard in years.
This blew my mind when I was about 11 - I made my dad drive me to HMV to get the 12"

Went to Ibiza in 89 - did some acid and heard this - 3 weeks later I had my first set of decks:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcVdg3aZjGE
And one of the first dance records I got for my decks was this - best acid song ever made imo:

This was my favourite tune for ages at The Warehouse in Leeds:

Where is local SirReal..?
OK, time to dig out some tracks! I have a real soft spot for piano tracks, love them to BITS (and if anyone has an HQ rip of this I'd kill for a copy):

Funky breaks done right just make me smile:
[youtube]CqFNzRaOEvE[/youtube]
*Real* hardcore rave tracks that have crunchy breaks and that strange, strung-out-on-e logic to them:
[youtube]1OA1I1HlnSo[/youtube]
And those long, long Epic House tracks that just went on forever, changing and transforming - Blue Amazon, Quivver, Sasha, Force Mass Motion, Bedrock, Tilt, etc.:

Really loving this thread :)
I was big into trance in the late 90's (going to Gatecrasher in particular) and so I guess these were the tunes that suckered me in (no particular order):

After watching Trainspotting when I was 10 ... I didn't get all of the movie at the time but Atomic by Sleeper captured my passion for EDM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ulacm465lU
who the hell lets a 10 year old watch Trainspotting?
why not, it's basically a 2 hour long anti-drug public service announcement.Quote:
