Re: what track/s got you listening to Edm?
Early Chemical Brothers or Prodigy is what got me listening to EDM....
BUT
The CD that made me start going crazy over it would have to be DJ Dan's - Loose Caboose.Comment

Leftfield's 'Leftism', which is happily still one of my best loved and most played discs to this dayComment

George Kranz - Din Daa Daa (probably dating myself with this one)...but I started in this era early to mid 80's and never have seemed to have left it, just evolved as time went on into the different genres of electronic music. I was probably 12 or 13 and heard this and Kraftwerk (Numbers) around the same time.Mutations presents Change The Music

Re: what track/s got you listening to Edm?
I'm not sure where pop ended and EDM began ... when I was a kid I managed to miss out on all the Eurasure or Wham or New Order stuff, but listened to Pet Shop Boys and Depeche Mode a lot, so I guess that was my earliest brush with anything electronic. I think back then it was just 'dance music' or pop to me. SNAP? Rhythm is a dancer? And then Jam & Spoon. After that, the first proper EDM would've been some MOS comp mixed by Danny Rampling, and something random I picked up from HMV cos it had a nice paper cover/case. And then Underworld. It's also odd that I missed out on Leftfield in those days. Then Oakie's Perfecto Fluoro and Digweed's Winning Ticket, then Northern Exposure. I also missed out on S&D's Renaissance until a bit later. I only discovered Renaissance the same time Cream was putting out comps, so it's the era of Nick Warren, Ian Ossia, and Dave Seaman. Then the GUs of course.
So it's been a fairly natural progression from those electronic/synth pop days into more and more EDM.
The weirder thing is I had some small dalliance with bands like Guns n Roses or Nirvana or Bon Jovi but they never stuck on me. In fact I used to hate band music until recently when I decided / realised not as many people listen to EDM as I'd like to think! But before, in my world, EVERYONE (that I knew) listened to EDM. Until this indie uprising and all my friends are suddenly closet indie fans, traitors!

Re: what track/s got you listening to Edm?
awesome replies, could've included many of the same responses in mine
it's really all about that starting point, but the beauty is, from there, you don't know where you'll end up! One day you will be disgusted with 'enter genre', and another you will be inspired by it. Just shows you gotta keep the ears and mind open at all times.
For me, as far as DJ music goes, I got into trance and d&b first. Spun trance for a little while, collected a bunch of classics. Moved onto progressive thanks to San Fran, Ibiza, and Hong Kong sessions. And further and farther it goes today, hopefully to no end.Comment

Re: what track/s got you listening to Edm?
it probably also bears mention that groups that I was already listening to, like Curve, Garbage & Sneaker Pimps, started having their stuff remixed by guys we all know, like PVD, Victor Calderone, AVH, Oakenfold, etc. I was already into house music at the time, but that is what got me back into it after the early 90's rave thing died down some (at least where I was).Comment

Re: what track/s got you listening to Edm?
Man, we are going back a few years now but the one that really got me was kraftwerk - tour de france.
Very minimal sound and still believe it sounds pretty amazing even today.
Many of you might know the track. It's the one where Turbo from the movie Electric Boogaloo dances to with the broomstick.
The scene and track below.
Classic movie by the way.
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”
― Marcus Tullius CiceroComment

Re: what track/s got you listening to Edm?
it was always there, i just pointed it out, thank the artists for dropping mad flava on us.
as for me, no idea what my first one was. all i remember is my older sister taking me to a "rave" when they still existed in Florida, feeding me a smurf, and raving til dawn to tony faline. it was only a few months later i ventured to the uber rave ZEN and heard sasha, john digweed, rabbit in the moon, josh wink, keoki, and several others i dont remember that got me in to the amazing sound of progressive house. from that night on and those 10 beans later i was hooked. on the music not the beans.
