The years have gone by so quickly since I started listen to Electronic Dance music. I can still remember the days where the only thing that matter was having a good time. Smiles and hugs, new people to meet, old ones to get to know again, and the music. I can think of times I just wanted to go and listen. Listen to the dj mix his tracks and how he choose so to do it. Hearing a tune that you normally wouldn't was always fun as well. We were young and have not yet learn the ways of the music snob. I fell in the tap, head first. I only liked house for a time period. Epic trance was everywhere and it got on my nerves. Drum n bass was just beginning to make it's own impact. Breaks all sounded like they came from Florida. Old school tracks came from 1993 not 2003. Big pants were in, rave "candy" was everywhere, flyers were art, Adidas were the hip trend, most people had visors, and the glow stick toys were everywhere. Opus 3 , it's a fine day, was played everywhere. Always heard a track that millions knew. XTC was clean and plentiful. I miss the days I shun so quickly. I miss the music that I hated, I miss the people that I clowned, and most importantly I miss the feeling.
If I could do it all over again, I would. I am trying as we speak. I listen to the epic trance cds of the old, i listen to trance, electro house, house, and some breaks. I still dislike Drum and bass, hardcore, happy hardcore, most breaks, deep house is really not my thing, and anything that has a step in its name. Not really a electronic band fan,but I do like a few. For the most part it's just really not my thing. I am willing to drink a beer and listen to a dj that I may in the past ignored because he played this track or this style. I am back with open ears, and you should too.
So open your eyes, ears and minds. Stay up late, Rave til dawn, be free, feel like one, dance like no one , wait thats corny.
Go out have fun enjoy life,
