[IF]When did you first start listening to EDM?
[Plan B]I first started listing to EDM in the mid 90's when I was around 8-9. My Dad always listened to Dance/House music when it really first began to be produced in the late 80's early 90's. Back then I didn't know it was House I just listened and really dug it. As I began to get more into the music, in my teen years, I purchased Tiesto's Elements of Life album and a Daft Punk 'greatest hits' CD from a local Warehouse Music. Since then I've been in love with all genres/sub-genres of EDM. Those two CD's although very mainstream and generic albums of EDM, opened up a whole new world for me.

[Plan B]My first event as an attendee was Lovefest SF in 2008.
