During the Millennium years, I bought literally everything Hardcore related. But even though I had a few pennies spare, I would still remain brand loyal. Afraid to make the jump to another brand within the Hardcore scene, I would not buy anything that had no affiliation with Thunderdome or ID&T, or Masters Of Hardcore. But sometimes I could be persuaded by little gifts, like stickers, t-shirts or you name it. In 2001 I bought the album you are about to listen to.
D.H.T., also known as Danger Hardcore Team. Their third 'virus' CD. Not knowing anything about the CD series, I bought it, and listened to it over and over during the noughties. Even though it was from a different 'brand', it was still Hardcore music, and that always makes me happy. The CD itself was split into two, with the first being the tracks on their own, DJ friendly. And the second disc was mixed by DJ Bass, which had all the songs from the first disc.
D.H.T. were successful, mostly in Belgium. They even had a hit released via Ministry of Sound (which wasn't a Hardcore track to be fair). But besides the fact that they were from Belgium, nothing much is known. They just emerged back in the late 90s. I don't even know if they are still active.
I did like the CD a lot. I liked their logo, even though it resembled RTC's skull logo a lot.. or is it just me?

I still, to this day, find it weird to have two discs, with one having DJ friendly songs and the other a mixed version of disc one. Weirder stuff had happened over the years. Remember when Arcade released a Formula One focussed Hardcore CD, where the first disc was filled with Hardcore anthems with sound bites from Formula One cars, and the second being JUST Formula One sounds? Yeah, the 90s were weird times.
And I'm not a DJ friendly kind of fan. Give me a mix, any day of the week. And that's exactly what I found on YouTube. Basically both discs in one video.
Hardcore, to me, was growing on me again, and I loved the sound coming out of the scene. There were some splendid tracks being made, and a few made it onto this CD. Not all the tracks were successful. Who remembers Hardcore Factory? Not the finest track, right? And even 'Eardrumz' is (to me) not Outblast's finest song. Which one is? Well, 'War Is Coming Man' is just brutal, hard, no nonsense track. Perfect to hear on a dancefloor. That track would get everyone going.
It's a blast from the past. And it's the only CD I've ever purchased from D.H.T. CD series. I don't think it caught my attention at all after this CD. MOH took over my life, and D.H.T. faded away. Turns out that it started in 2000 and ended in 2008. Well, at least I've got this CD, and now you will too. Well, not physically. Nor do you have the sticker. I don't either. Must have been on one of my school agendas from back in the day.
