Where did your house influence start?

[Ben]

No, not where you live :P House MUSIC! It's what we older generation call dance music :P

Was just hooning around youtube and came across a music vid that pretty much began my interest in Trance/Acid House music. One night listening to Michael Tun doing the 'Request Fest' on Triple J during 1995 when I was doing my HSC, someone requested a song by 'Aphex Twin' called 'Donkey Rhubarb', Pretty sweet I thought, a few weeks later I saw some Apex Twin videos on Rage.

Here is Donkey Rhubarb

And here is one called 'Come to Daddy'

trippy stuff for the mid 90's, released originally on 12" vinyl only (that's big black CD's for the kids )

This lead me of course to dance clubs and subwoofers

What song/artist do you attribute your love of dance music to?

[D3V1L]

im of the younger generation on these boards

my roots for hosue and dance/electronica came from the prodigy - breathe

this particular song is what got me iunto the electronic AND metal side of my...and yes..discovered subwoofer

I will meditate on it and get back to you

Well my first was The Chemical Brothers, this is techno though.
and I've recently moved into more drum 'n' Bass stuff,
and Infected Mushroom are my real taste in Trance, apart from "Music for the Gilted Generation - The Prodigy"

For the Prodigy fans, chase up a copy of 'Experience' It's their first release, and the first Prodigy album I bought. Is truly an awesome piece of work!

this was also one of my 1st cd's(tho i got 'casanova' and one other track they neva put out on cd). tho i also have a large collection of old skewl 'slamin vinyl' tapes before the days of cd's also got some 12" 'origin unknown - vally of the shaddows' most used mix track
I have eased off on the d&b and happyharcore these days somewhat to party breaks and chill breaks. whats left of them

love all my oldskewl
house/hardhouse/progressive house/speed garage/rave/trance/gabba/happy hardcore/d&b dark & underground list goes on

[Wilbur]

my 'house' influence hasnt started yet obviously

Myne neither. The first one made me think I was playing some dodgie 80's rally arcade game

[Xtreme_RX]

Yes the Prodigy was definitely an influence toward my 'dance' music like, but i would have to say that The Artfull Dodger was my field.

I do prefer UK House / 2Step / UK Garage / Garage.

Some of the older stuff is way different to the current, and I can not remember all the names however some of you will recall things like Left Field, Hockus Pockus and their song Hears Jonny,

I am aware/listen own the all of the above mentioned however have to be in the right mood… and that does not happen toooo often anymore.

[Alex]

Hockus Pockus and their song Hears Jonny,

this is the exact song that got me into the 'dance/techno' stuff. Ministry of sound stuff, and more recently pendulum and other dnb

[Bumpty]

BAM BAM BAM CHA BAM BAM BAM!
haha, yes maybe that was my first, and on Raagggeeeee!
Any recommendations for D&B Alex.... similar to Pendulum, what are MoS like?

[Alex]

ministry stuff is more dance tunes.

although its not true DnB, the crystal method, daft punk, etc, and for the old school real DnB try getting the album jungle sound gold. It has abit of pendulum, DJ fresh, Baron, Adam F and afew others, its a sssik album. lol

im sure D3v1l and 4muff have afew more to add
