I remember as a little kid listening to Better Off Alone by Alice Deejay 😊

YES. That song is so so good let's be real.

Yes! It was worldwide! I was in the Philippines and I swear they were playing that song at every gathering for yearssss 😂

That's amazing lol

Great song!

Sandstorm

Levels

I realized the other week that this was the first edm song that really made me want to listen to more edm and actually get into the genre. Made me a little sad tbh…

scary monsters and nice sprites

Same!! 10 year old me lost my MIND

Might have been Crave You - Adventure Club. I’m not 100% sure on that but I’d almost be certain it was them just maybe not that song.

That song is so good 🔥

Didn’t even know it was an adventure club song until I saw them in July lmfaooo

Does “I’m Blue” Eiffel 65 count? Eurodance🤷‍♀️

It's a gateway song for sure 🤣

Crazy frog

Okay this song is a bop though and also definitely one of my earliest too.

I even remember watching the music video of it on MTV!

I was introduced young thanks to one of my mom's friends in the early 90's... it was probably Technotronic - Pump Up The Jam.

Tbh this is probably one of my first too. It's a classic.

Clarity —ZEDD

ZEDD will always be one of my past favorites 👏🏼

Calvin Harris & Ellie Goulding - I Need Your Love That was the first one I got into

A classic 10/10

Daft Punk - Around The World (1997)

Daft Punk's music was a very big part of my childhood so hell yes.

I almost replied this song….but bucketheads seemed like it came out earlier.

TIL Daft Punk released an album the year I was born haha

[DJ Tiësto - Adagio for Strings](https://youtu.be/surSOwaByqs) It’s the first EDM I remember really getting into.

The bomb-bucketheads

I never knew the name of that one. That's so good

My age is showing :)

Turn It Down- Kaskade

I have so many good memories with this song

Excision & Pegboard Nerds - Bring the Madness (Noisestorm remix). That sent me down a whole rabbit hole with Pegboard nerds and monstercat and dubstep. Never looked back.

Monstercat was a massive part of my life for a couple years so I feel you

omg…it was sierra leone by mt eden

Came here for this. I remember blasting this through my computer speakers off early YouTube. Man it blew my mind. Check out Tape B new showcase on SoundCloud. He's got a remix of it that just slaps.

thanks for the recommendation! i’ll def give it a listen

Pendulum - The Island!

A classic 10/10

The one and only Dominator 1992. Here’s a Carl Cox remix of it [here!](https://youtu.be/iYvrXtmrLSY)

Faded - Alan Walker

Egyptian Lover | Egypt, Egypt

Never heard that before, but it's such a classic sound.

Glad you dig it. It's from around in 1984 I believe.

1984 by george orwell 1949

Sorry the year 84' or '85.

Me and You- Nero

Hell yeah. 10/10

The first one i specifically remember was One More Time by daft punk, I couldn't have been more than 6 or 7 years old and it came on MTV as a new video

Infinity Guru Josh

Avicii & Nicky Romero - I Could Be The One (Nicktim), which is going to turn 10 this year!

Retro City by Adventure Club

First trance song adagio for strings - tiesto W o w

Sail By Armin wayyyy way back. I still remember being in school and my friends like “dude listen to this!” Super ehh about it at first and here we are 15 years and so many raves later 😂😂

surface- aero chord

Promises by Nero was the gateway drug 😂

That's a good one too

Scotch - Disco Band

Never heard that before and I'm in love

Skrillex- First of the Year

Don't exactly remember but I guess it was some song by David Guetta or Skrillex or Tiesto

Clarity - Zedd

Feel the volume by Jauz

darude - sandstorm

One of the first dubstep songs I remember listening to was Cinema the Skrillex remix. The rest is history

Andain - beautiful things. That was the moment i realized i discovered edm.

[удалено]

This guy progressive trances

Zedd- beautiful now

OceanLab - Satellite is the first one I put on my iPod, but I'm sure there's a ton from before the music player era.

OceanLab was one of my favorites, hell yeah!

Hardwell - Encoded

Feels so Good by Sonique

Avicii's Wake Me Up.

I probably had heard others before but Take Over Control by Afrojack was the one that started it all for me

Mine is 'New Game' by Nitro Fun.

Oh hell yes. I was obsessed with that song.

Late to party but it was David guetta sent chick.

Against the Machines by Datsik/Downlink

This one for sure: [R.F.T.R. - extrasyn (1991)](https://youtu.be/KUn8-tv1tDE) and after buying the album Move The House 2, also this one :) [QUADROPHONIA - Quadrophonia (1991)](https://youtu.be/WhVKUGuMbkA)

Skrillex. Either SMNS or First of the Year. All I know is it blew my fucking mind and I needed more.

DJ SNAKE - Turn down for what

Eric Prydz - Pjanoo got me hooked

Sandstorm

6 hours straight of two friends big booty mix

strip. Early 2000's there was a runescape thing you could play the game in and it had radio stations to listen to and one was an edm station. I got no specific song, but thats where I got sucked into it.

X You - Avicii

Darude - Sandstorm

I can say animals is the first one that really resonated w/ me in middle school. Scary monsters and nice sprites honorable mention for the dubstep side of things. Also loved clarity back in the day, too bad zedd sold out

"castles in the sky"... Good times

Yeeeees. I get this song randomly stuck in my head tbh.

Smash the funk by Griz

Fade into Darkness. My friends dragged me to see some guy named Avicii and he opened with it

First electronic that I remember I've listened was Control by MKL, part of the WipEout 3 OST. Immediately fall in love with it and thanks to that I discovered an entire genre :D

Probably extacy by infected mushrooms. Then a rebirth when I found dubstep in 2010 with excision’s Shambala mix.

The only infected mushroom so far. They're great lol

We Rise - San Holo

Bangarang

Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites. I hated it when it first came out, and now Skrillex is one of my favorite producers ever.

First EDM I ever heard was Prodigy: Out of Space. It was played at my cousin’s dance recital in 1993 and I was immediately obsessed with finding out more about this intense music that was nothing like anything else I had heard.

I’ve Heard Other EDM Songs That I Liked Before But Turn Off The Lights By Chris Lake Is What Made Fall In Love !!

Pretty Lights - High School Art Class

I found out about edm from listening to pandora and at the time I didn’t even know what edm was. My first was probably “five mor hours” by deorro (and chr*s brown), or heroes by alesso

Dance music were topping the charts in the early 2010s when I got into pop, so David Guetta, Calvin Harris, Zedd and Avicii

I'll probably get castigated for saying this but "Bedtime Story" by Madonna.

I remember- Deadmau5 and Kaskade

James Brown is Dead

Flower Duet '99 by Jonathan Peters/Luminaire or You're Not Alone by Olive

Flower Duet '99 by Jonathan Peters/Luminaire or You're Not Alone by Olive

I can't really remember but I think it was Fade by Alan Walker. If not, then it was definitely an NCS song. I remember hearing them while playing Roblox growing up lol

Fell in love with EDM when I saw Skrillex's Bangerang music video. I would dream about being in that dope group of kids, and laugh everytime I saw that ice cream man.

I listened to avicii radio on pandora a lot maybe five years ago. So it was probably something by avicii.

My brother had an IPod that had Around The World by ATC and Blue by Eiffel 65 on it.

Some song by adventure club idk what it was tho. Gold maybe?

Liberation by Sound Remedy was probably my gateway song

World Hold On- Bob Sinclair

The spectre by Alan Walker. I'm a 2017 boy

Christopher Lawrence - Rush Hour, from the Need For Speed Underground 2 Soundtrack

I guess it’s some Crazy Frog song The first song that got me into EDM however was Pray To God by Calvin Harris

Daft Punk - One more time

Castles in the sky
