The Moment I discovered House Music:

Even through the thick Victorian walls that separated brother and sister, I can vividly remember being a curious 14 year-old; curious to know what this new sound was coming from my 18 year-old sister's bedroom. What was this relentless repetition of a straight eight bass beat with the tapping of a high-hat? I needed to know but couldn't ask; sis had company round and I was too shy to knock on and ask.

The next day I snuck in and quickly 'borrowed' the disk she left in the player. It was black with a king of clubs card on the front. It said "Back to basics by Danny Tenaglia".

And so, my journey through electronic sound began.

Thank you sister; thank you Danny Tenaglia.
