My cousin who now lives in Preston was already into it when he showed me how to DJ on vinyls in 2001. In 2002 I started to collect Now That's What I Call Music CDs and had Nows 50, 51 & 52. My younger cousin then came over from Wakefield with 3 that my older cousin in Preston had finished with. Nows 26, 32 & 34. I listened to them think how much better the music was in the 1990s. By 2003 the music in the charts had got a bit boring so I decided to get old skool music and have collected more & more. At school & college my class mates use to hate me about the fact that I was becoming more & more old skool and they use to tell me things like this:

FFS that music is so yesterday why don't you listen to things like DJ Casper, James Blunt or McFly.

In 2009 I then found Kickboot or Brett as he is known (A PR DJ) who sells 100s of vinyls in a shop. In January 2011 he introduced me to PR. I wasn't too good on there so I found OSA in March 2011 which I really enjoy listening to. I was also introuced to another old skool station RP by Kaz Bucky in June 2011. After a few teething problems I'm now doing ok on there as well.

So that is the story of how I got into Old Skool music.

Better late than never, mate:thumbsup:

For me it happened in 2 stages with house music. First I bought the house music records that were first hitting the UK charts in 1987, then I went to my first regular house night later on in 1991 - well after the scene exploded unfortunately. I went to one in Cleethorpes in 1990 first actually, but without the stimulants ;). 1991 was when my mates told me about some of the great nights they'd been to so I thought i'd better check it out :cool:

So I was into the music early on, but I missed out on all the early warehouse parties:cry:

I first heard house music when I was about 13 - Farley JM Funk, love can't turn around was in the charts (1987ish) Remember around the same time going on holiday to Tenerife with my parents and hearing Housemaster Boyz Jack your body.
Started buying the Deep Heat compilations around 1989, which I always thought were decent (A little hit and miss sometimes)
1990, got into the whole madchester/baggy thing
summer 1991 a friend introduced me to pirate radio, and I got into that early Belgian techno/hardcore sound. Didn't really listen to much house except for the occasional italo house tune.
1992 - bought a Sasha tape from Crash records in Leeds (Think it was a Soak/Kaos one, I forget) and then started listening to more house/prog, but I've always been into all genres of dance music/old skool.
