so how did you get into MAKING this obscure faggotry?
-was it mashup fever?
-Was it a wired magazine article?
-Was it fatboy slim? (I'm willing to bet this is most of you and you won't admit it!)
-Was it prodigy?
-Was it chiptunes? (guilty of that and fatboyslim)
or were you just born a total dork?

me too on the aphex twin and old front. i grew up in cornwall and saw richard d james live there...that did it!!  my dad used to play a lot of mad stuff too, which helped. stockhausen was often heard loudly around the house...
edit: also saw prodigy very early on, which was pretty inspiring too...

When jungle hit these shores (at least my ears) in '96-'97, I was really inspired.
Also, doing acid for the first time in '95 while my friend played me acid. :0

I was playing in a guitar band, doing the bar circuit on the east coast. A friend got me into electronic music, but I had no idea how it was made.
When I saw the Crystal Method 'There Is Hope' video on Much Music in 1997, where they're rocking a warehouse party, it blew my frackin' mind - you can do electronic music live?!?! I traded my best accoustic guitar the very next day, for a Roland Alpha Juno-2 and a Korg M3R.
To this day, I'm still not much of a studio guy - I'm all about the stage.

first stuff was the vinyl of "switched on bach" and "the plastic cow goes mooooog", both of which my parents had (and still have); i heard these in '73/'74 when I was 3 or 4 years old (i'm old, frn...). then it was seeing stevie wonder with his arp2600 on sesame street. then gary numan in '79.
i got a casio vl-tone when i was 10 and it was all over for me.

In '93, Underground Resistance and Richie Hawtin got me interested in listening to techno. ScreamTracker got me interested in making it.

oh yeah, in terms of me actually making tunes...I played guitar for years but I had mates who made EM. when I lived with one of them I used to play with his kit a lot. then, one day in 2001, my gran retired from work and gave me, my dad and my bro £6K each (out of 20K - silly woman)...and my studio was born

I liked synthpop, punk and metal that my older brother played me. The first stuff I got into "on my own" was KMFDM. Then quickly after that was aphex twin and moby. Then I went to my first rave and saw Damon Wild play a extended Live P.A. version of what I later discovered was the track "Rotary". Hooked on wanting to make tunes ever since that.
