My boss at the time too me to a DIY soundsystem night in Sheffield, fed me lots of pills... At the same time quite a few of the 'crusty' lot in Leeds were getting into Megadog, and Templehead (which started as a Megadog afterparty, but then moved quite heavily towards acid techno). So really it was via the hippy trance route... I always liked the harder stuff though, and it kind of went from there....
