How did you get here? MUSIC WISE.

It started in 1991. I went to Belgium on a student exchange, and everyone was listening to LA Style?s "James Brown Is Dead". I was into stuff like Metallica, Ministry, Front 242, Einsturzende Neubauten, and I guess I liked the beat. When I came back to Portugal I bought a single by Gary Clail, "Human Nature", remixed by Paul Oakenfold. I loved it.

Then Nirvana came along and I got interested in heavy rock and grunge again, until 1994, when "So Get Up" by Underground Sound of Lisbon came out, That track started the big bom of Dance Music in Portugal. Then I saw Rob DiStefano at the Kremlin Club, Danny Tenaglia at a rave in Coimbra, all through that year of 1994.

It?s been all the way since then. I think A LOT of people in Portugal got into dance music thanks to "So Get Up".

When I was younger I always listened more to the instrumental mixes of songs rather then the original versions.

So i guess for that reason I had to end in dance music sometime. I have been listening to dance music since the late 80?s.

I started in the 80?s with Italo Disco. After that I had hear the early ClubSound like Hip House , Acts like Beatmasters , S-Express & Bomb the Bass with labels like Rhythm King & Cooltempo.
In the early 90?s the Sound of Frankfurt explode & the early Techno records came. Stuff from R & S , Warp , Plus 8 , Harthouse aso.....
Now I?m here.....................

Well, I myself I'm a late bloomer. I didn't get into EDM until 2002. Before that, I listened strictly to hip-hop. That being I lived in Queens, NYC, and thats all I grew up listening to. I was introduced into EDM when I had move down to Miami for college. My friend introduced me to Deep Dish, and ever since I've been hooked. And thanks to EDM, I've had the best nights of my life partyin' and made some great memories with my friends.

I used to listen to Motown then I decided Sasha was better.

My first contacts with EDM date to 1998, when I started to develop a likening for euro house. After a year, I got interested in techno, which is still my favourite music, although it's getting harder and harder to find good techno. Because a lot of my friends listened to progressive I started visiting prog parties and in a while I started to like progressive. It was probably the drive and the basslines that got me addicted.

Since i was a young kid, i was into strickly hip hop. Then in 98 i went to the record store looking for something different and as i was cruising a section, i saw this cool cover of GU009. Bought it thinking i could play it at a party i my friend was having that weekend. That night i listened to it on my sterio, the next day went back to the record store and bough a shitload of cds. Been hooked ever since.

My mom bought me Northern Exposure. Just on a whim she thought that I might like it. And it turns out I did. But, I must admit i am kinda shying away from the whole EDM scene and getting more into Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson...that sort of stuff. I wish they had like a bubblegumserver.com. Could one of you admins maybe look into that for me?
