[conflict]

I've been playing/listening to techno for 6 years and definately it was Prolekult.I also remember a track on boscabeats that was really funky techno and not trance,i'll go and have a rummage to see which one it is.......

It was the casper pound mix of 'New World Order',man what a wicked track i havent played this for donkeys years!!

I think my first "proper" techno record would have been on Soma. A Space DJz release called Lights. I had other techno stuff kicking about but this one really caught my attention.

I was into the early SUF stuff in a big way as well. The Rabbit's Name Was... on SUF 14 was my first one and got me hooked. That was after hearing the liberator sound for the first time at an outdoor rezerection.

when i first began buying techno records, i didnt look for a specific label or artist, because i had little knowledge of the genre. i tell you something though, i wish i picked my records as randomly as i did when i first got into techno. reaching for the same labels/artists is a very bad habit.

I was into jungle, experimental and minimal techno way before I ever knew what "swechno" was. I was listening to stuff like Force Inc. and Plastikboy for a long time. It wasn't until about '99 when I found labels like Drumcode, Inside, and Kanzleramt that I decided to switch solely to techno.

[dirty_bass]

yeah, I got into techno via industrial music, so I guess stuff like KK records releases, and various industrial experimental stuff like KodeIV and Numb etc got me into it. But I liked everything, Goa, Psy, House, Breaks. I just focused on techno when I got involved in raves.

[AcidBastard]

Take out the Trash on Boscaland and the Trash Compactor remix of K90's Species on Boscaland as well... That was a great label.

Got into "Rave" in the early nineties, which became more specifically hardcore, jungle and subsequently techno. Some DJs whose tapes etc. shaped my taste included Easygroove, Cox, Nasty, DJ Dag, Pablo Gargano. I enjoyed trance at one stage too, when I started to buy records initially it was labels like Eye Q, Platipus, Tresor, Harthouse, Force Inc.

[Stella Boy]

R & S and Pacific.

transmat

first techno tune I bought was either The horrorist - One night in NYC, or Andreas Kauffelt - Alternate :) I was a late starter in the techno scene!
