Just thought I’d take a few minutes to quite formally introduce myself, and granted a lot of permissions/accolades are needed here, but this is the very specific track that irreversibly inducted me into the world of Electronica—the introductory late-80’s/early 90’s radio commercial that precedes the music will always be a part of it for me, but I ask of anyone who listens—PLEASE TURN IT UP BY 2:20, and afterwards imagine you are a young girl who never heard the like!!!!  Thank you to Union Jack (whose track it is) and DJ Tasty (who played it in a way I could never match, I apologize for the few skips, this was a digitized audio tape that first saw a huge amount of stereo play)  Thank you unendingly to all Electronic artists who feel the same way I do inside and have the genius to put it into “words”  >>>>>>NOW TURN IT THE F*** UP<<<<<<

your link didnt work. but the first couple mixes that got me where a hard house mix called house blends 7 by dj venom. then there was a live mix by tiesto from trance energy 2000.

as for first electronic song, it may have been one of the older chemical bros track that got radio play.

Probably these two tracks from the early 80’s switched me onto electronic music…

Herbie Hancock - Rockit

Kraftwerk - The model

hmmmm, i think my track was removed from Soundcloud.  I am guessing it was a proprietary issue.  I won’t try that again.  But it was a DJ version of Two Full Moons and a Trout, by Hardfloor.  Anyway, sorry for the lame link, and Electrobot thank you for your links, I am about to explore them…..  And thanks for all who add their own “firsts!”  Cool info to hear about smile

Whoops, I meant to say it is Union Jack, not Hardfloor.
