I was in the Zulu Nation once upon a Bronx Tale.

[Dirtyacid]

since im not from the times of the first generation of techno dj,s my list would be the following & why:

(1) - Mark Eg - when i was nine the first music i ever heard was mark blasting acid techno , that started me on the techno path.

(2) - D.a.v.e the Drummer - contributed so much to the scene & made some of my favorite tunes.

(3) - Carl Cox - the guy is a legend say no more :eyes:
