So I've been thinking a lot about the Electronic I listened to when I first got into it, and during my first several years of becoming acquainted with it, and there are artists & songs I have a sentimental connection with because of that. I thought I would share some of them, and let everyone use this thread as an opportunity to share their own and reminisce about their Electronic faves from back in the day.

Around 98/99ish, back in my raver days, this here was a song I
danced to, fucked to, tripped to, rolled to, and did crazy shit with
glow-sticks to. I'll remember it forever.

Here's one off the Sasha/Digweed Northern Exposure: Expeditions
CD that I loved. Circa '99.

Switching up to D&B, this is one of the first tunes I remember that
got me into D&B. At the time, there was a big focus on Ragga Jungle,
and I didn't really dig it all that much. The harder stuff was harder to
find at the time, with a lot of tunes being either jazzy or minimal, and
I remember this track being the one that created a sort of bridge for me
to understand how well the genre, as a whole, could reinvent itself
and create new things.

Then I got into Techstep. Don't ask me why I love it so much...
I can't really describe it. I couldn't then, and I still can't now,
even though this type of Techstep is nowhere near what it has
evolved into today.

I guess it has all evolved from there.
There are a lot more from back in the day, but for now, this is what I'll start it off with.
