Was 16, brother took me. Had been going to hard house events and godskitchen alot, so he wanted to show me some real music. Had listened to techno at home or whatever and never really got it untill I walked into the club I turned to my mate and just flippin hell this is the dogs bollox.

Up untill this point, although I was getting into hard house and buying it as my mates I went out with were into it, I wasnt really into any form of dance music, was more into hip hop before but this night turned me onto techno.
I was 16 and went to speedy j and ritchie hawtin at the jam in feb 2002. My mates took me and said i would love it. I was into old skool and mellow, i thought id hate techno, i thought it would be far to hard.

After a speedy j meltdown and a 3hr hawtin set i was converted forever.

I then went to the record shop and bought my first two techno records

Drumcode 3
Midnight club trax 2.

I then started going to many parties an meeting many people. One of whom was tony from this board. I went to a party and chatted to him about techno (of which i knew **** all about) and he actually listened, which i thought was very kind, cus if some kid came up to me and ranted about techno and didnt know anything id like to think id chat but id probarbly just make my excuses and head to the bar.

Rant over (the good old days :roll: :roll:
