Damn, I Feel Old
So I sorta joined on a whim, and then realized I am older then A LOT of people on here, but here goes:
I'm 29. I got into electronic music in 1998, my senior high year, when a kid named Sage got me into drum and bass, and I bought Roni Size & Reprazent's New Forms, which changed the way I thought about music. Before then, I'd always thought all electronic music was basically annoying stuff like Scooter, or maybe Vengaboys. From there I got really into Jump Up style jungle, and atmospheric DNB, which I still absolutely love. My freshman year of college, I went to this small drum and bass night held at a banquet hall (weird, I know, but it was truly underground), and got more into DNB. When I transferred to a college up in the middle of nowhere (VT) I met this hippy who turned me onto Sphongle and his raver roomate, who turned me on to Sasha's Airdawndagger, and from there I discovered early psy-goa stuff, but was still more into the Shpongle/chilled side of psychedelic music. Later I moved down to TX for school, had a bad year, took some time off, then came back about 2005. By then Austin had a huge psytrance scene, and I met a few people and started going to some of the most amazing outdoor parties ever. From there I immersed myself in the local psytrance scene, even threw a few parties, and started throwing together psy-chillout/idm/dub style mixes on my laptop via Traktor.
Anyways, so here I am, looking to connect with people more my age, and especially folks into psytrance (though I also enjoy minimal techno, IDM, dubstep, glitchy breaks, tech house, etc.) I really would prefer not to be spammed with ads for massives, as I really don't enjoy them and find most of the mainstream super DJ's tend to suck as musicians and performers. I could care less about DJ Dan, ATB, Tiesto, etc. really, i'd rather see what the smaller scenes have to offer. And please, i don't want to listen to your silly happy hardcore mix and tell you what a great super PLUR dj you are.
Same thing with drug talk-I could care less about how often you roll and that. I CAN tell you to stop taking so much, and to test what you take, but you probably won't like my telling you that, right?
I'm not jaded, just aware. Add me if you can bother to read my profile.
