Iconic song of the 90's RIP

[winson604]

RIP

That song was what got me listening to Electronic music back the mid 90's and subsequently the reason why I started raving during the hay day.

[white rocket]

^^Totally. That was my era for raving and warehouse parties as well. He was tops back then for sure.

R.I.P.

I'm pretty sure that's one of the songs along with ATB that got a lot of our generation into electronic music. "Children" is such an iconic track

[Klondike]

RIP. Loved his music

'Generational' player in the world of DJ and electronic house music. How do you not feel like you can go and take on the world after listening to Children?

Since we're going down memory lane, I'm almost ashamed to admit that this was my anthem back in the day. LOL!

[punkwax]

RIP indeed. Sadly didn't recognize his name but a couple of those tracks bring back memories for sure.

[ae101]

I know it's off topic to post other artists in the RM tribute, but I think he really got everybody in to EDM back the early days

Memory lane songs, yes I still have this song on my S7 and on a few of my previous smart phones

[CharlesInCharge]

Such great melody in the first two songs posted, its nice to rediscover such songs after so many years.

eruhh hellooo.. dreamland anyone?!

[twitchyzero]

i can't take 90s dance music seriously because they just remind me of I'm Blue, Kernkraft 400, Sandstorm or Axel F

but something about Alice Deejay's Better off Alone just hits the nostalgia bone

[GS8]

Shame he died so young. Loved his music. Introduced me to Trance and the entire scene. He inspired me to pick up a keyboard and start playing and developing.

Speaking of Children

I suggest listening to the album 'Trancelations' by Lowlands. Amazing pieces, including 'Children'.

[N.V.M.]

Thanks for the feels! Just epic. A real trip back to my early raving days which started at Cream @ Memorial Arena in Victoria around 1998. First album I listened to over and over in the car was Cream which had 1998 and Cafe Del mar, Three Drives among others. I then spent a few years going to many local raves on the island while spending way too much on trance CDs as mp3 downloads weren't available yet.

Every friday night I used to listen and record onto cassette Chris Sheppard's show, which played a lot of this stuff. Then I would crank that shit while PC gaming on dial up late at night, the only time I was guaranteed not to have someone pick up the phone and disconnet the game. I was getting 2-3 hours of sleep on a school night.
