I was wondering how old were all of u guys when u got into techno? I was also wondering how old were some of you when u first started producing? i look in the techno production section and it abseluteley baffles me. Where did u guys first learn to produce, on your own/ from a friend?
Probably about 14 when promoters like Dreamscape, Helter Skelter and Dance Planet started putting techno sets in their tape packs.
Don't produce, so can't answer the second question :P
When I was about 12 evryone in my year started to listen to hardcore and collect flyers, then a few years later I started to listen to more free party sort of tunes like Wippenberg and Commander Tom and bought my first real Techno record i about 1995 or 96 ( it was a planetary assualt systems on peacefrog)
Have only been producing for about 6 months really but have had equipment since 97 when I started sound engineering at Salisbury college and then Music Technology after that.
I got into Techno in the early 90's but before that I was a Hip-Hop DJ from 85-88 then moved into House until House went tits up in 91.
I have been producing since 97 and running "Jackstar recordings" since July 2002.
I'm 34 this year.

Turned 29 very recently!
Started producing more seriously around 95.
I decided that I wanted 2 b a Dj at the age of 8!
been thru, tape slicing, pause tapes, decks with no pitch.. bla bla... went later on into early rap/ early electro/ break dance/ etc... but it was kind of hard 2 find electronic stuff in Portugal and only 2 clubs started playing some more electronic stuff around 88... Plus I was a kid, so not easy 2 have money 4 records and 2 b able 2 get into clubs! :(
got my 1st technics @ the age of 14-15... (b4 I had some really crappy 1s, where the pitch was my index finger lol :P )...
that's it really.

Well I first heard techno through electro in the early eighties. I'm 29 now.
was listening to front 242, einstreuzende neubauten, skinny puppy, meatbeat manifesto etc. in the late 80s. techno was a natural transition.

I'm a techno-youngin'. I began listening to techno three years ago when I was 17. I discovered that it was absolutely the most enjoyable genre to rock out to on the dance floor. I haven't been the same since then.

I loved old skool for a while when i was 15/16 then i was taken to atomicjam when i was 16. Ive pretty much liked techno since then but its more of a lifestyle now than anything. I live and breathe techno. i sometimes even dream about it
first heard techno in about 95 and got really into it around 97/98
