what have you started here mark?? ;)

for me..

carl cox,my first steps into techno listening to my sisters tapes from park hall,angels and bowlers as a young lad.

richie hawtin,as someone else said his musics evolving all the time,also decks fx 909 and closer to the edit have had a massive influence on me.

dj rush,1st visit to the orbit and he was on battering it out like ive never heard techno before.
