well, i was mainly listening to rock, and bands like the verve and spiritualized.

i then heard a few plastikman tracks somewhere, iv'e got a feeling it was john peel who played them, could be wrong though.

so then i went out and bought artefakts bc, and then all the rest of the plastikman albums, but to this day, artefakts still does it for me.

of course, that album had a few acid lines in it, which i loved, then a few months later, i went to college, and a guy on the course was a dj who played acid techno.

the first few times i heard him mix where mind blowing, i'd never heard such energy in dance music before.

i spent a good while just listening to him practice, and all the time, getting more and more into the sound.

thats it really
