Great thread

1993 I was 12/13 and got hold a Stu Allen mixtape off Key103 radio in Lancashire, Completely blew me away - was 90 minutes of fast early tracky acid / hardcore. Had never heard anything like it. From there I moved onto micky finn, ratty, top buzz, tanith, ellis dee, producer, easy groove, mark eg and the whole dreamscape / fantazia / north thing

Techno came a bit later

Besides the London Acid Thing (****in avint LP's, early routemaster and smittens, Immersion, Liberators) 1996 onwards was this sort of thing

Colone - Crush (05 - Hard Techno Classics From Deepest Germany Vol.1) - YouTube

The Blunted Boy Wonder Circuit Sex - YouTube

the advent standers - YouTube

Lots of Adam X, Frankie Bones, Thomas Heckman, Samuel L Sessions, Trevor Rockliffe, Dave Angel, Woody Mcbride, Thomas Schumacker, Paul birken. All those sort of names that you never hear anymore unless you get a bit obsessive about it and do your research.

Miss that style of techno because it doesnt really exist anymore. Production was ****ing awful sometimes but the vibe and energy of the tracks still makes my hair stand on end today

Love to hear other peoples

well i grew up in Doncaster, and there is the local BYO or Warehouse.

Carl Cox , Grooverider used to play there a lot.

So i heard a lot of hardcore back in the day. but i was more into jungle tbh.

liked a lot of hard trance/ club trance, drum n bass, and even hard house.

went to a few squats in sheffield around 2001.

got into acid techno, and loved it ever since.

[Elvio Neto]

another kind of music i grow up listening was from one of the best Portuguese House producers/djs (DJ VIBE) he was from "underground sound of lisbon" and other groups too

i dont know if in other countries they call this house music , but this is the classic Portuguese house music (and i love it) and the scene for this kind of music here in huge since the 90´s

I'd been into Hardcore and Speecore for years, and always thought Techno would be too slow/weak. Then I came across these two mixes which blew my mind:

Jeff Mills - Live At The Liquid Room - Tokyo (CD) at Discogs

and

Dave Clarke - Fuse Presents Dave Clarke (CD) at Discogs

Game changers!

[blistanbul]

it all started awhile back for me.

i guess the beginning with of all things electronic was aphex twin and the electro stuff that was coming out beginning of the last decade.

from there on I gradually listened to other producers that I came across and liked.

if we are talking mostly more heavier stuff then terence fixmer ebm stuff, dj preach, michael forzza, phil kieran, eric sneo, the youngsters, dj ghost, al ferox.

i also would like to mention boards of canada, drexciya, vitalic, even felix da housecat.

they all played a part.

[blistanbul]

lets don't forget valentino kanzyani(really liked that intec mix), and umek either.

[Honeey]

There is a lot of Techno I could list that influenced me but I would say this track was one of the ones that really impacted me back in the day.

I think it was probably hearing Stakker Humanoid on MTV.

[snooch]

My techno roots were from getting into the scene in Philadelphia and going to the parties and seeing people like Josh Wink play every week. So the first exposure to techno was acid from around 90-91 and on. I remember hearing jungle (DJ Soulslinger from NYC was the first time) and liking it, hearing house and liking it, hearing trance and being indifferent, but nothing really drew me in like techno in it's various forms.
