What Track ?

What track made you want to start collecting dance music and why ?

I remember hearing Tricky Disco around 1990 and i was in the abbey mall the next day looking for it, after that i got hooked on vinyl and collecting music in general.

It was the big pokey bass that done it for me.

I only took up djing (well, midi controller & mp3 djing) a few months ago, but I've been listening to dance music since I was 13/14, and I'm 30 now. The first track I can really remember absolutely loving and listening to endlessly is this

ha ha,i mean there was no real eureka moment for me.

dance music was always around me because my older brother was into it and we shared a room.

Prodigy,scooter,ultra sonic and the bonkers series were all ones that stuck out but it was a slow change

Prodigy experience did it for me.
Although i do remember one dance track around 94 that had a sample from Carlitos Way, "you think your big time" used to get loads of airtime.

Although I'd heard some acid house stuff the previous year, the whole dance thing only really clicked when me and a mate went to a party in London one night in 1989...the sight of loads of pilled up loons grooving to this just got me hooked (just happened to be the track playing when we arrived)

It was a mixture of stuff for me - the Prodigy Experience was one and I still have a massive soft spot for that album, really brings me back to that time.

This also really did it for me. I remember at the time I was working at my first part time summer job as a lounge boy in the Dalkey Island, I would have been 15 that summer in 1992. I played this everyday on my walkman, to and from work for most of the summer...
