  • Painbringer - Early Hardcore Goes Ibiza 2019 (Promo Mix)

    Sometimes you go onto Soundcloud or Mixcloud, and your gut is telling you that you will find a really epic mix. Yesterday was such a day. I found a mix, focussed on the event called Ibiza Goes Hard, and this promo mix was played during the 304th edition of the Twisted's Darkside Podcast. And you have seen the image above, you know who made this mix: Painbringer. The one who is keeping the oldschool Hardcore alive. And you have got to give him credit for it. Every die-hard raver loves the early stuff. Unless you are too young and do not have a clue that there's a music style alive since the early 90s. But don't worry: Painbringer is here to educate yourselves. In this mix he selected his favourite Early Hardcore tracks and a few forgotten classics. Those gems that everyone loved at the time, but got buried underneath the mainstream Hardcore tunes. And let's not forget: Painbringer's own music back catalogue. You are going to find shitloads of his productions in here. Now that's an added bonus! It does contain a mix of old and new records, and even records I've not heard before. So this is going to be interesting. But worth while, trust me. 01. Painbringer - Hardcore Future 02. Undercover Anarchist - The Craziest 03. Innerchild - The Party Zone 04. Painbringer - Words Of '95 05. M--Project - Hardcore Maniac 06. DJ Rob & Tim B - Get Set 07. DJ Ruffneck - Massive 08. Painbringer - The Alpha 09. Trickster - Stop The Rhythm 10. Lockjaw - The Point 11. Painbringer - Inner War 12. Cyntex - Freestyle 13. DJ Ruffneck - 20 Bullits To Comply 14. Arjuna - Who's In The House 15. Omar Santana - World Domination 16. The Prodigy - Voodoo People (Pendulum Remix) 17. Painbringer - Everything Or Nothing 18. Painbringer - In Your Memory 19. Painbringer - Carlito's Way 20. Innerchild - Who're You Fucking With 21. Painbringer & MissBehave - Fuck You Up 22. Arvid - Fuck That Feeling 23. Arjuna - You Are A Sucker 24. Enemycore909 - Inferno 25. Reeza - Sanctity Of Life 26. Painbringer - Afterglow 27. Painbringer - Share Your Pain Now this brings back memories. Not bad ones, only good ones. This takes me back to the 90s, when I was a teenager and everything in my life was focussed on Hardcore. I lived, breathed, and basically was Hardcore. No-one could convince me that it was shite, for me it was everything. It was life. And Painbringer's mix contains those records that make me smile for hours. Thanks mate! For once it's difficult to distinguish which record is an oldschool classic and which one is new. I reckon that Painbringer records are new, and the rest are old? It's difficult, because the sound is so alike! I know that 'The Point', 'Get Set', etc are oldschool classics, but the rest sound so similar. Not updated or different. That's what I like about artists such as Painbringer, Casketkrusher, etc. They keep the sound alive, and they do it well! Best record? 'Stop The Rhythm' by Trickster. Banging record. Painbringer, you are a superstar. Your mix is dope, and it has given me goosebumps from time to time. The only record I didn't like is the Pendulum remix of the Prodigy's classic record 'Voodoo People'. I find it the least creative remix of all time, quite frankly boring as hell. But I might be the only one. A decent mix. Nothing wrong. This is the early Hardcore sound I miss. Give me more mixes like this. I much more prefer this kind of music over anything else! Thanks Painbringer for this awesome mix!

  • Massive Tribute Mix To M.I.K.E./PUSH (Classic Vinyl Mix) (2019)

    Nico. Nico Suffis. He keeps on tagging me on Facebook. And you know what? I do not mind that, not at all. Sometimes his mixes are just too long, but those that I can listen to whilst driving home, or at work, those are the ones I'm absorbing most of the time. So his latest mix. This was one I had to listen to, just because of the simple fact that M.I.K.E. / PUSH is such a recognisable name in the Trance industry. A name linked to many great anthems, and probably the greatest Trance anthem of all time. But more about that in a minute. Nico is addicted to Trance, and would you disagree with him? It's probably the best style in the whole wide world. Not one ounce of aggressive in it. It's all about peace, love, unity, and respect. And Trance music is the right style to embrace all these terms. But who would you pick if you had to make a tribute mix? Which artist does resemble Trance music in its purest form? Who is so Trance-like, he could single-handedly change the future? Yes, PUSH / M.I.K.E. It's an obvious choice of Nico. He's made other mixes too, don't get me wrong. He does release mixes nearly every week onto his Soundcloud, so if you think that this mix isn't enough for you, just check it out. But this mix stands out from all the rest. This is Trance. This is pure. This is fecking epic! Some people might say that it's the Belgian sound that makes his music great, but to me he makes borderless music. This is music embraced by every culture all over the world. PUSH has found the key of making Trance music so damn good. So Nico's choice is an obvious one. The tracklist. Well, I knew of his existance, but never knew all of his aliases! He's got quite a few. 01. Push - Strange World (Astral Projection Remix) 02. Push - Blue Midnight 03. Exposure - Magic Impuls 04. Sinead O'Connor - Troy (The Phoenix From The Flame) (Push Remix) 05. Active Sight - Out Of Our Lives 06. Music - Is This The Way I Feel 07. Push - Till We Meet Again 08. Plastic Boy - Silver Bath 09. Push vs Globe - Transformation (Push Transcendental Vocal Mix) 10. Push - Electric Eclipse 11. M.I.K.E. vs John '00' Fleming - Ice Cream 12. Plastic Boy - Live Another Life 13. Push - Journey Of Life 14. M.I.K.E. Push vs Robert Nickson - Tachyon 15. Push - The Legacy (Club Mix) 16. Plastic Boy - Angel Dust 17. Push - Strange World (2000 Remake) 18. M.I.K.E. - Turn Out The Lights 19. The Gift - The Seventh Day (Main Mix) 20. M.I.K.E. - Sunrise At Palamos 21. John '00' Fleming vs M.I.K.E. - Dame Blanche 22. M.I.K.E. - Elements For Life 23. Plastic Boy - From Here To Nowhere OK, before we continue, we ALL have to come clean: we were all looking for the 'Strange World' record, weren't we? Especially the 2000 Remake version. Fuck me sideways, up and down, this is the GREATEST piece of Trance music ever made. And Nico teases us at the beginning of the mix: I didn't see the tracklist at first, and hear the majestic piano bits, and was slightly disappointed that I heard a remix, not the one I was hoping for. But fear not, around 1:47:00 the track comes in, and destroys you completely. I melted like butter when I heard this tune. A genuine tear jerker. The power behind this mix is beyond reckoning. This is a powerful mix. A powerful 2 1/2 hours of M.I.K.E. a.k.a. PUSH. What a legend, what a superstar. This mix contains sooo many wicked anthems: it doesn't matter which event you hear these at, the crowds will unity and become one. We all raise our hands in the air and let us be enchanted by the spiritual sounds from this pioneer, this legend, this all-time hero! I can only give Nico credit for tagging me in this mix on Facebook. This is his best so far. I cannot describe the feelings this mix has generated, but if I did, I would expose myself too much, and let's not do that. Let's keep it clean and legitimate. Just fucking listen to this mix. Shut up and press play!

  • Welcome To 2019 Mixed By DJ Aeon

    There used to be a time when Soundcloud was giving me Freeform mixes on a daily routine, but sadly that has changed. For some reason Freeform has gone a bit more underground, and it might be something you wouldn't expect it to be, but is that something to dislike? Not really. Freeform has always been this subculture and has managed to stay afloat since its creation. And if I'm honest, I do like it the way it is. Not being ruined by other styles, or run by mediocre idiots trying to get money out of it. The scene remains this powerful, because we all have one thing in common: our love for the music. And that's important! So whenever a Freeform mix is uploaded, I jump right onto it. As I said before, it sadly doesn't happen on a daily basis anymore, but still, if you look close enough, you do find interesting mixes, like the one I've got for you right now! DJ Aeon's 2018/2019 mix. The man behind Future_Proof Sounds, he decided to make a mix with the finest records from 2018 and 2019, and also include a few exclusive records not available yet. So this is our version of porn: teasing people with exclusive music. Damn you Aeon. I want to get these records now. Let me show you the tracklist. You can find the 'full' tracklist on Soundcloud (with labels and which albums they have appeared on). 01. DJ Dummy - Parallel Universe 02. Greg Peaks - Exist To Be Broken 03. Substanced - Blue Remembered Earth 04. Hedonistik Ritual - Destination 05. Transcend - Reality 06. Hedonistik Ritual - Free The World 07. Substanced - Heart Of Time (Kounta Kulture Remix) 08. Hedonistik Ritual - The Exorcism 09. OA - The Collapse (Transcend Remix) 10. Greg Peaks - States Of Consciousness 11. Alchemiist - Cybernetics 12. Kokomochi - Sibyl 13. Transcend & Cyrax - Chemist It's nice to wake up on a Sunday morning and you hear this mix coming through your speakers right into your ears. So relaxing, so awesome, so cool. Name me another style that can send you into such a relaxing mood (obviously a style linked to UK Hardcore). If you name 'House' music, you are right, but that's not the point... Anyway, DJ Aeon's mix. It contains records released on the biggest Freeform labels such as Energy Field, FINRG, Stamina Records, Tesla Tracks, and of course Aeon's own label, FutureProof Sounds. So you know instantly that these records are 'boss' records. These labels do not release any shite records, only quality. And that said, which one of the 13 records is my favourite? Come on, there's only one simple answer to that question: 'Chemist'. This fucked up Freeform record just blows your mind. It's got Transcend (and that other dude Cyrax), and some distorted vocals that just scare me. Haunting me in my sleep. I seriously woke up with those vocals in my head, I could even hear the distorted section. 2018 was a great year for Freeform, and 2019 will be yet another amazing year. I do hope to find more Freeform mixes, I do need more of these mixes in my life. DJ Aeon's mix is really a good one, to set the bar. More, please!

  • Smith & Brown Mix (2019)

    Fan mixes. You see them more and more on social media and music platforms, and the other day I spotted yet another one. This time it was a fan mix for Smith & Brown, the upcoming Tech Trance duo who I've reviewed a few times. I did spot them a few months ago, and from that moment I got hooked. Their sound is just what I need to hear, and it turns out that I'm not the only one who is obsessed with Smith & Brown. A fan called Hamilton (no, not the Drum & Bass DJ/producer) made this fan mix. It obviously contains original Smith & Brown records, and also a few remixes they made. And the general gist of this mix is to showcase to the world that S & B are doing the right thing. They are keeping Tech Trance interesting and vibrant. Their take on it is fresh. 'Last Landing', the track that got me excited, isn't in this mix. Disappointed? Nope. There are plenty of awesome records that Smith & Brown have made, to intoxicate us all. So let me show you the tracklist, and you will be a happy bunny. 01. Smith & Brown - Foul Matter/The Sound Of Goodbye (Extended Mix) 02. Smith & Brown - We Got The Funk (Original Mix) 03. Sied van Riel - Atomic Blonde (Smith & Brown Remix) 04. Smith & Brown - Zero Cool (Original Mix) 05. Smith & Brown - Human Resources (Original Mix) 06. Smith & Brown - Flesheater (Original Mix) 07. Andski - Blossom (Smith & Brown Remix) 08. Smith & Brown - Tilt (Extended Mix) 09. Smith & Brown - Universal Chaos (Original Mix) 10. Impact - Sands Of Persia (Smith & Brown Remix) 11. Smith & Brown - Nightmare (Original Mix) 12. Christoph - Voice Of Silence (Smith & Brown Bootleg) This is really good stuff. Hamilton has made a fantastic fan mix, and I know that the boys are fan of this mix. Of course they are, it's filled with tunes made by themselves! What's not to like? Well, you might be very picky and not like the fact that it's not downloadable, but if that's the reason, you are a tight arse. If you are like me, and you don't see anything wrong with this mix, you are a legend. I've got nothing negative to comment. This is a blissfull mix, containing just the right amount of songs to keep us going. It's such a bliss. I feel mellow and so extremely happy after hearing this for the 34th time, as I normally do after hearing a mix by S&B. Check this fan mix out. And whilst you are at it, check out Smith & Brown on Facebook! It's so worth it, if you love Tech Trance.

  • The Keith Flint (The Prodigy) Tribute Mix, 8th March 2019 #theBriskSelection

    A few days ago the world was told that we lost a pioneer, a genuine rave master, Keith Flint. Part of the Prodigy, we do not need to introduce him or his band. I've covered that in previous reviews. And if you don't know the Prodigy, you are kind of a wally. How can you not know this majestic band? Anyway, he sadly is not among us anymore. And before anyone wants to turn into the Sun, we at TCD do not support gossips. We are not discussing the reason why or how he sadly left us, we are talking about this man in all honour and pride. And that's how we should embrace those who have left us. To honour the great Keith many are trying to get Firestarter on number 1, organising parties to commemorate him and the tragic illness he suffered from, and some do tribute mixes. The one that grabbed my attention was DJ Brisk's mix. Brisk presents his #theBriskSelection every so often, mainly via Facebook. I never have the time to catch his show live (only did that once), and that's because of the time (the lack of it for me). But thankfully he uploads his music everywhere, and this mix had to be on Soundcloud, the biggest platform of them all. And the mix (recorded on the 8th of March 2019) is all focussed on the Prodigy, and of course the craziest member of them all: Keith Flint. His death has left a mark on us all, especially on those friends and family of Keith. The raving culture was shocked too, but we are supportive, and show the world why he and the Prodigy are an all-time band. You might like the newer stuff, or the older stuff. Personally I was more into the early stuff, kind of lost interest after 'The Fat Of The Land', but this feeling emerged after I heard Brisk's mix: I kind of understand the Prodigy's message, even those records I didn't like before: it's all about raving. And fucking you up. That's what their music does. It leaves you breathless. It also showed me that the Prodigy's back catalogue is seriously impressive. What Brisk did was select the biggest dancefloor smashers by the Prodigy, and carefully mixed them together. And that's a task and a half! Knowing the Prodigy's catalogue they weren't a band who made repetative and similar sounding tracks, each track was different. So is Brisk capable enough to mix it all together, in a beautiful way? Let's find out, after the tracklist! 01. DJ Brisk - Intro 02. The Prodigy - Need Someone 03. The Prodigy - Poison (1995 Mix) 04. The Prodigy - Diesel Power 05. The Prodigy - Under My Wheels 06. The Prodigy feat Pop Will Eat Itself - Their Law 07. The Prodigy - Light Up The Sky 08. The Prodigy - Take Me To The Hospital 09. The Prodigy - Girls 10. The Prodigy - Funky Shit 11. The Prodigy - Thunder (Arveene & Misk Remix) 12. The Prodigy - Timebomb Zone 13. The Prodigy - Breath 14. The Prodigy - Spitfire (Future Funk Remix) 15. The Prodigy - We Live Forever 16. The Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up 17. The Prodigy - Resonate 18. The Prodigy - Invaders Must Die (Liam H Re-Amped Mix) 19. The Prodigy - Jericho 20. The Prodigy - Wind It Up 21. The Prodigy - Omen (Noisia Remix) 22. The Prodigy - Firestarter 23. The Prodigy - World's On Fire 24. The Prodigy - Warriors Dance (N2 Remix) 25. The Prodigy - Outta Space (Deekline Remix) 26. The Prodigy - Pandemonium (Booty Breaks Mix) 27. The Prodigy - Wild Frontier (Killsonik Remix) 28. The Prodigy - Voodoo People 29. The Prodigy - Music Reach (1.2.3.4) 30. The Prodigy - Ruff In The Jungle (Uplifting Vibes Mix) 31. The Prodigy - G-Force (Energy Flow) 32. The Prodigy - Full Throttle 33. The Prodigy - Charly (Trip Into Drum & Bass Mix) 34. The Prodigy - Your Love (Remix) 35. The Prodigy - Rhythm Of Life 36. The Prodigy - Boom, Boom, Tap 37. The Prodigy - Everybody In The Place (Hardcore Remix) 38. The Prodigy - No Good (Drum & Bass Mix) 39. The Prodigy - Nasty (Spor Remix) 40. The Prodigy - Roadblox (Reso Remix) 41. The Prodigy - Ghost Town (Cover version of The Specials) 42. The Prodigy - (Richard Chees) - Smack My Bitch Up (Outro) Brisk's achievement is something to be proud of. He has done a remarkable job composing this hour and 46 minute long mix. It's not an easy job to mix all these records togehter, all with different BPMs. Well, they are linked to each other, but still they differ mostly from each other, and Brisk makes it sound so wicked. And effortless. But I reckon it was the complete opposite. Brisk played a mixed variety of records, from the older stuff to music from their latest album. I'm really digging their stuff, no matter when it was made. But the early stuff is just so cool, so awesome. It wasn't an easy task to pick a favourite, and I'm not going to be able to mention my favourite: there are too many. And especially the way Brisk has mixed it all together, it just comes together so beautifully. The only records I don't like are the remixes that I do not recognise, like the Hardcore remix of 'Everybody In The Place', the Spor remix of 'Nasty', Deekline's version of 'Outta Space', etc. I'm a fan of originals, especially when they are made by the Prodigy. It wasn't an easy task for Brisk, but it has paid off. This is really the best tribute mix I've found so far, and with it we can celebrate the awesome things the Prodigy (and of course Keith) have given us. The most influencial rave group of all time. A fitting tribute to a lost legend. #RIPKeithFlint DJ: Brisk Genre/Style: Breakbeat, Rave, Electronic Punk, Techno, Hardcore Mix Info: The Keith Flint (The Prodigy) Tribute Mix Length Mix: 01:46:20 Tracks: 42 (fourty-two) Download/Listen (via Soundcloud): DOWNLOAD/LISTEN File Size: 243 MB File Type: mp3 Bitspeed: 320kbps More Information: DJ Brisk - Official Website

  • Sc@r #SDWARRIOR (2019)

    DJ Sc@r, where has she been? It's been a while since I last heard anything from this Australian super DJ/producer. I remember the Scarred Digital being released, but after she flew under my radar for no reason lol. Stupid social media. But she is BACK! With a brand new mix, with probably the least UK Hardcore-ish picture lol. This Indian thing on her head (I forgot what it's called), sunglasses, and the hashtag #SDWARRIOR . What's going on with Sc@r? It's an unusual way of presenting yourself to the world, but it does work for me. I remember when I used to listen to hear show on Kraftyradio (haven't listened to online radio for years!), and she always impressed me with her unique style. And she still remains like that to this day. She's unique, refreshing, and leader of her own label, Scarred Digital. To showcase what she and her label are capable of, she made this short (maybe too short) promo mix, with tracks from the label from the last 6 years. I had to quickly check her Soundcloud to see the classic mixes I used to listen to once a day, and they are bloody years old! I can't believe it, time has flown by so rapidly. The last time I saw her was in Belgium, and I can't even remember when that happened! Time, where are you? Okay, enough jibber jabber, tracklist time! 01. Sc@r - Rushin 02. Weasel - 90's Baby 03. Kingsize & Eternity - A Touch Of Magic (Sc@r & Energy Remix) 04. IYF & Nobody - Swing Core 05. Sc@r - Hardcore Power (Scarred Digital Mix) 06. Infexious - Mic Check 07. Rob IYF, Sc@r & MC Riddle - Make The Walls Shake 08. Sc@r - Something Different 09. Sc@r & MC Supplier - London City 10. Srav3r - No Fear 11. MoreMental MC & Tone-E - No Angels 12. Sc@r, Klubfiller & Tanya - Don't Say Goodbye 13. Joey Riot & Reflux - The Other Side (Macks Wolf Remix) 14. Code-E - Part Of Yourself 15. Catzeyez - Fk It Up (Sc@r Remix) 16. Tamerax & Lovely Chan - Ready When You Are 17. Dan Edge & Ben Manic - Don't Be Afraid 18. Violonc - Do A Barrell Roll 19. Sc@r & Douglas - Summer Groove The mix is just too damn short, I could listen to Sc@r all day long! Especially her early stuff, during the mid 10s. She rocked everything! That's the sound I recognise and fell in love with. Which led me to Belgium and me rocking (mostly on my own lol) on the dancefloor, singing out all the Sc@r tunes. I was a fan boy, and still am a fan of her and the amazing label. She just had to add a few absolute BEASTS in this mix! God, 'Rushin', 'London City' (sadly never mentioned Enfield), 'Don't Say Goodbye', 'Hardcore Power'... she is just so damn gifted. She still remains her gifts, and she keeps the 'old' sound alive and kicking. And that's what I like! But she had to end the mix with a stonker of a track! Freeform baby! 'Summer Groove'. What a wicked track to end your mix with, but is it my favourite? Nope, it isn't. The best one is 'Srav3r' with 'No Fear. Never heard of this artist before, but I'm digging this melodic Hardcore tune. Sc@r, make sure you keep those mixes coming. I need more. And I think many do agree. Does anyone know if Sc@r does come back to the UK for a tour, or am I a lazy sod and missed her coming back already?

  • Eufeion Presents - In 2 The Mix 5 (Happy Hardcore Classics 1) (2019)

    Eufeion is back with a brand spanking new mix! The fifth instalment of his 'In 2 The Mix' has landed on Soundcloud a month ago, and I'm really delighted to announce this mix to you all! I know you all like a bit of Happy Hardcore, and you never guess what the main theme of this mix is? Correct, Happy Hardcore. The 90s style that we all miss and love. Before we continue talking about this mix, I have to say that I tried my best to find the previous mixes on Eufeion's Soundcloud page, but couldn't find them? I know he did a label showcase mix, and a general UK Hardcore mix, but the others I'm not sure off. I hope he does leave them somewhere, because I love this 'In 2 The Mix' concept. Not always the same style of mix, always different. Keeping it fresh and exciting. Back to the mix. Oh, and I found the location where you can get the other mixes from (Dropbox). Click HERE if you want to see the other mixes. Now let's focus on the current mix. It's Happy Hardcore. Oh yes. But seeing as I do know and love Happy Hardcore, the one thing I noticed immediately was the fact that these are all UK Happy Hardcore records. Does that make this mix a bad one? Absolutely not. More refreshing. The majority of HH mixes are always Dutch focussed, but to hear a nice UK version is more my cup of tea. It also contains one of the most overrated records of all time, but that's just my personal opinion. Now's the time (see, an Oldskool Happy Hardcore pun) to show you the tracklist. 01. Midas - Taken From The Groove 02. Two Ruff - Bouncing Darkness 03. Juicy Cuts 1 - Love U More (Remix) 04. Strippey & DJ Eff - Getcha Some More 05. Sy & Unknown - Techno Harmony 06. Billy Bunter & JDS - Come Alive (Remix) 07. Hixxy & Sharkey - Waiting To Get High 08. Juicy Cuts 5 - Love Of My Life (Remix) 09. Eruption - Let The Music 10. Hixxy & Sharkey - Toytown 11. Sy & Unknown - Move Your Body 12. Juicy Cuts 3 - Rainbow High In The Sky (Remix) 13. Billy Bunter - Hop On The Dancefloor 14. Sy & Unknown - Love For 95 15. Seduction - Imagination I missed out on a lot of wicked music during the 90s. When I grew up in the Netherlands we did hear a few UK Happy Hardcore tunes, but the majority was focussed on the continent's perspective of Happy Hardcore. So I did miss out on a lot. Thankfully I can find mixes like this one on Soundcloud and get educated. The mix starts with a wicked record by Midas, and this flow continues throughout the mix. This cheerful, cheeky, happy, and uplifting vibe is linked to most of the tunes. That's why I like it so much: it's innocent. It's pure. It's happy. It's everything we need to have in music. Yes, aggressive music can be a good outlet for stress and anxiety, but happy can take you to places you've not been to before. OK, I reckon you want to know my least favourite record in this mix? It's 'Toytown', an all time classic for the UK Hardcore massive. Not for me, I'm just not feeling the vibes. It's a nice record, but not the best. Mine has got to be 'Let The Music', 1000 times better. Eufeion, do not stop making these mixes. I am really enjoying them. What will your next mix contain? It's always a surprise, a lovely surprise! More are needed, so please keep them coming!

  • Hatred - Annihilate Mix #1 (2019)

    One month ago Hatred uploaded a mix, and when I first listened to it, it only had a few hundred plays. Now a month later it's at 30.1k+ and rising. It seems that Uptempo is the future, and in retrospect, this mix is worth every play it receives. But the question today is (and it only applies to me): who is Hatred? I've seen their name before, but never delve into their past, present, and future. So give me a second to Google the shit out of them and see if I can find a proper answer. Well, I found a bit on Partyflock, and on this it states they are from Germany, and play rough music. And that is all. Nothing more. Well, I'm not that fussed who's behind the masks, so let's focus on who they represent: Hatred. But before we start talking about their latest mix, let's focus on the image above: they are wearing masks and robes? Is that what the kids are into nowadays? Anyway, the mix. It's about 46 minutes long, and contains epic Uptempo Hardcore records. But the uptempo sound is still new to me, so the majority of names are unknowns to me. But does that mean the mix sucks already? Nah, as you'd know I do not care about names, I only care about the music, and several times during this week I have been listening to this mix over and over again, and it nearly blew my speakers in my car. That's the way how you should listen to Hardcore music! 01. Vandal!sm & Hatred - Fuck A Whore 02. Insanity & The Satan - Bass Drop 03.

So damn hard, but so entertaining at the same time. I was only a few weeks ago in NL at GPF's event, and they played similar kind of music, and it sparked a fire inside of me. I'm slowly understanding the Uptempo community. It's not my all time favourite style, but I still enjoy it a lot. The masked heroes made this wicked mix, and it contains a lot of weird shit records. But the weirdest has got to be Alice DJ's 'Better Off Alone'. Who on Earth would have expected this record to be here? Well, it's obviously a remix, but still?! The mix is rough and raw from the beginning to the end. And even though you get a few moments to breath in and out, you will feel knackered towards the end. Hatred are really on a roll, and give us everything we need to get fucked. My brain felt like it was in constant agony, but that's what I needed. Thank God I've got paracetamol next to me, I need to shift this headache. Thanks Hatred, Nah, in all fairness, Hatred's mix might sound so damn hard for the untrained ear, but for those who love their music a little bit faster, you will love this mix. A few tiny little mistakes, but don't we all make mistakes? Which record stands out the most? 'This Is Who The Fuck I Am'. Those 'la la la' vocals. Catchy. Just check out this mix if you haven't already. Don't want to miss out on the fun, do we?

  • In Trance We Trust - The Best Of 1998 - 2015

    When everything is not going your way, you need distraction. For some it's spending hours in a gym, for others it's having a massage, and for others it's drowning yourself into music. I'm like them. I cannot let a day go by without listening to music. And today I needed music to cheer me up. And will you Adam and Eve it, I have found the perfect mix to relax to. In Trance We Trust is one of those labels you know will deliver only quality. Don't know the full back story, but what I do know is that they have been around for years! And to showcase their awesomeness, this DJ called Adam El-Sayed made this tribute mix 3 years ago, back in 2015. It has all the highlights of the years 1998 until 2015. Now you might be thinking "is this a megamix?". Well, the answer to that is no. It's a good tribute mix, in which you can only hear full length records, no radio edits. 32 amazing records from this mesmerizing label, crammed in a 3 hour long set. What's not to like? It's Trance music, and it's a nice and 'long' mix. Not like ridiciluously long, but long enough. Just the right length to get you through the day. Let me show you the tracklist. It will bring a smile on your face. 01. Carl B - Just A Thought 02. JPL - Whenever I May Mind Her (Joni Remix) 03. Carl B - Fallout 04. Mark Norman - Niagara 05. DJ Eremit & R.O.N.A.M - Herzschlag (YOMC Remix) 06. Vadik - Sunplay 07. Carl B - Life Can Wait 08. Vadik - Earth's Breathing 09. Danjo - Hollow Glory (Kaimo K Remix) 10. Mark Norman - Teardrops 11.

Yahel feat Eyal Barkan - Voyage (DJ Tiesto's Magikal Remake) What a simplistic yet powerful looking tracklist. I cannot stress the fact that tracklists do not need to be complicated. The way Adam has done it is perfect. Simplistic, yet it sends a message across. Don't mess with this mix. I've heard the majority of these records before, but names never stick in my head. Like the record around 01:09:32, don't know the name of this record, but what I do know is that it takes me back to 2002, when for me Trance music was at its peak. When I discovered Trance events, this kind of music was blasting through the speakers ever single day. This mix takes me straight to heaven. This is the kind of music you just need to sit down for, and let it absorb you completely. Every day will be a blissful day. You need music like this, and In Trance We Trust you have found the perfect label. They represent the Trance music we all adore. Got nothing but positive feedback for this mix! Thanks Adam, this goes on repeat the next few days!

  • The Prodigy ‎– Music For The Jilted Generation (1994)

    Today is a sad day for everyone who loves Rave music. Everyone who knows the Prodigy has probably read the breaking news stories all over social media. Today we lost Keith Flint, one of The Prodigy's members. But before we continue, we are not judging anyone, or start gossiping about the reason why or how. We are here today to tribute his input into one of the world's greatest Rave acts. And that is an understatement that everyone would underline. I cannot remember which year it was when I first fell in love with the band, but it was after 'No Good' came out. As we speak it's one of the least favourite Prodigy records of all time, due to the radio overkill it received. But that said, it has paved the way for Rave to invade the Top 40 and cement its place into eternity. Not saying there weren't others, but the Prodigy took the Rave culture globally, and when they released 'Music For The Jilted Generation' back in 1994, they took the world by storm. A force we had not seen before. The music was different. It was groundbreaking stuff. Unique, and powerful. Any of the Prodigy records could be played at a rave, and the club would explode. Even in 2019 you can play records from this majestic album, and crowds will loose themselves. And all that fame and stardom because of a few boys just wanting to have fun. They broke the rules. Fuck that, they re-written the bloody handbook! I've never been to one of their livesets, but I've heard many people talk about this. It would have been an experience of a lifetime. Their energetic behaviour on stage would appeal to everyone. But back in 1994 they were still pushing boundaries, and this album (alongside 'Experience') has to be one of the greatest Rave albums of all time. I found this album on Soundcloud, and could NOT share it with you all. 01. The Prodigy - Intro 02. The Prodigy - Break & Enter 03. The Prodigy - Their Law 04. The Prodigy - Full Throttle 05. The Prodigy - Voodoo People 06. The Prodigy - Speedway (Theme from Fastlane) 07. The Prodigy - The Heat (The Energy) 08. The Prodigy - Poison 09. The Prodigy - No Good (Start The Dance) 10. The Prodigy - One Love (Edit) 11. The Prodigy - The Narcotic Suite : - The Prodigy - 3 Kilos - The Prodigy - Skylined - The Prodigy - Claustrophoic Sting As I said before, this is an important album. And it has been listed as an album you need to listen to before you die. Now that's an achievement on its own, but to still remain powerful, 25 years later, is just not something we just simply brush away. To me the first 2 Prodigy albums and Goldie's Timeless remain the finest albums I've ever heard. And there's a good reason for it: the music is limitless and eternal. You cannot say that these are dated songs, or even say that they sound a specific way. Because they don't. They sound like they were made to last a lifetime, or even eternity. And they will. The power behind this album is not the quantity, but the quality. You get full length records, and boy, are they solid as a rock! I have played this album over and over again over the years, and still it makes me feel like a boy. This album have stood the test of time, and it's all because of the efforts of the whole group back in 1993/1994. I'm proud to consider myself an early Prodigy fan. Not a fan of their latest stuff, but that said, it all depends on the person. I do prefer the old Prodigy, the rave stuff. But even with 'newer' albums they kept on experimenting with music. Which led to them being one of the biggest groups in the world. Best song? Pff. All of them. Yes, 'No Good' isn't my favourite due to overkill, but it still packs a punch. But the one that gets me every time is 'Full Throttle'. Yes, this is categorised as an album, even though it's put on Soundcloud. You should get this album right now! Pure rave nostalgia on a disc. If you want to hear the roots of many dance anthems, check this out. RIP Keith Flint. A legend. A true raver. A pioneer is now amongst the stars, filled with those we already lost over the years.

  • Lethal Theory Style Mix - 24-02-2019

    Yesterday I was hugely disappointed, today I'm a happy bloke. Not only did I have a good day at work, I've been listening to a lot of wicked music on Soundcloud. It makes the four hour commute every day worth while. And also seeing my missus is an extra bonus. But let's talk about music, this is not This Morning. I think it was a couple of months ago when I first discovered DJ Threat on Soundcloud. If I'm correct (and correct me if I'm wrong) he did a Scott Brown mix, or an Evolution Records mix. Which got a good review (never given a Scott Brown mix a bad review). Now he's back with a brand spanking new mix, focussed on Lethal Theory. The ground breaking label that shook people's heads during the early 00s and 10s. If I'm honest, I have missed Lethal Theory a lot. I know Joey Riot has been busy with his Destructive Tendencies, but it's a shame, isn't it? Lethal Theory was the place to be for the best UK Hardcore and Powerstomp music. They were the originators of this 'new' style. And now they have disappeared. Maybe disappeared from my timeline, but I don't see much LT at all. It's a shame. So when I spotted this awesome mix, I immediately smiled. Lethal Theory. DJ Kurt. DJ Joey Riot. I still have a signed copy of his back catalogue (the CD). So, DJ Threat's mix has to be good. I can't be disappointed 2 days in a row. Time for the madness. Tracklist time! 01. Joey Riot feat Kelly C - The Power Within 02. Joey Riot - Your Smile (2009 Edit) 03. Haywire - Time 2 Rokk 04. Re-Con & Joey Riot - Don't Fuck With The DJ 05. DJ Kurt - Infexious 06. Gammer & Joey Riot - Comin' Up Strong 07. Himbo & Enemy - Everywhere I Turn (Orbit1 Remix) 08. EFM7 - Raver Raver Raver (DJ Kurt Remix) 09. DJ Kurt - Shimmy 10. Joey Riot feat MC Storm - Greatest Weekend 11. Michael Mansion - There 4 Me (DJ Kurt Remix) 12. Kurt vs Altered State - Talk To Andy 13. Joey Riot vs 2 Phat Laydeez - Don't Stop 14. Joey Riot feat MC Enemy - Deep Inside 15. Haywire & Joey Riot - Kontrol Freak 16. Joey Riot vs Ron-E - The Rising 17. DJ Kurt - World Domination 18. Himbo & Enemy - Threw It Away (Joey Riot's Lethal Re-Edit) This put a HUGE smile on my face! Who doesn't want to hear some Lethal Theory coming out their speakers? DJ Threat used the finest records by this label (and some I haven't even heard before) to compose this wicked tribute mix. A wicked looking tracklist, but is the mix any good? It can be a hit and miss with tribute mixes: some are extremely good, and some are just made by bedroom DJs who admire a label, but have not invested enough time yet to improve their skills. DJ Threat's mix is spot on. Tiny errors, but I'm going to let them go by. Nothing to worry about. I'm not a 100% sure that I've got the right record, but the record played around 57 minutes, isn't that 'The Rising'? If it is (or isn't), it's my favourite record of this mix. Fuck, who cares about the name, it's all about the music! Get this down you right now! Let's relive the golden years of Lethal Theory!

  • Thunderdome XXVI (2019)

    I've been lied to. And I really dislike that. And maybe you experienced the same? You might have encountered the same issue on YouTube, when you think you are going to listen to a specific album, and it's not what you expected. The next thing you are going to see is one of those disappointments. And it really grinds my gear when it happens. Thunderdome is an institution, it's a way of life. We don't need to explain to the raving culture what it is, and what it means. We have all been hoping that the good ol' days would come back, and we could hear the music from the 90s and early 00s again. So when I spotted this 'new' and 'rare' album on YouTube I got happy. Only uploaded a couple of days ago, I thought that it might have been the real deal. But fuck me, that wasn't the case. It looks persuasive enough. The cover looks really genuinely Thunderdome-ish. It's been lacking this kind of covers for many years. They are playing it safe over the last couple of years. So to see this new cover was really intriguing. But I looked closely. A concept design. Fan art, basically. And that's really done amazingly! Credits to the one who made the cover. But then you look at the tracklist, and it becomes a disappointment beyond belief! Here, you have a look. Tell me what you thought of it the first time you looked at it! CD1: 01. The Stunned Guys & Darrien Kelly - Violet Skies 02. Neophyte - Fuck Martine (Stunned Guys Mix) 03. Art Of Fighters - Earthquake 04. Meccano Twins - Sinapse (Shadow Mix) 05. Korsakoff - Powerrave 06. DJ Dione - Infinity 07. Ophidian - Butterfly V.I.P. 08. Miro - The Shining 09. Rave Creator - Wake Up 10. Da Bulldozer Project - Bulldozer II 11. Mescalinum United - Live In Brixton 12. Paul Elstak & DJ D - You're A Hardcore Hooligan 13. DJ Paul, Attic & Stylz - Fuck You Up 14. Darrien Kelly & The Unknown MC - The People Want More (Marc Arcadipane Remix) 15. Tha Playah - Mastah Of Shock 16. Paratoxic - Introduction To The Paracore CD2: 01.

Bold Bob - Bold Bass I've not been more disappointed than hearing this CD on Youtube. What a massive cock up that was. To me it's kind of a click bait thing. Everyone who likes Hardcore would automatically click on the player, because it's Thunderdome. But if you inspect it closely, you see that it's not, and never will be. But because it has the name, people think it is. It's a fucking lie! And it's not EVEN Thunderdome material!!! Yes, some records do resemble the Thunderdome sound, but the majority are Italian Hardcore records, or just waste of time. You know when you've got a MoH album or a Thunderdome album in your possession: it's that unique sound. And this seems to be only click bait. A fake. I'm really gutted. Really disappointed. I'm waiting for that oldskool but new album from Thunderdome, but it hasn't arrived yet. And maybe this would have been the one. But it wasn't. This has pissed me off. The tracks are good, don't hear me say anything about that, but the way this is presented is just pure lying to the masses. Create your own concept, don't re-invent one. Be unique, and people will come if it's good. But this is just pure rip off. Jumping the band wagon of Thunderdome's success. I'm really disliking this 'album'. Yes it's rare, because it's fake. Don't be duped. If you just want to hear Hardcore music, go ahead: there are good records on here, but if you were looking (like myself) for some Thunderdome, you will be deeply disappointed. Fuck this shit. I'll give it the lowest score ever. Don't even bother to talk about the positives. This hurts my feelings. Just go to Thunderdome's official website for your Thunderdome fix. Not this rubbish.

  • Old School House/Techno Mix 1 (1989-1990) (2010)

    It's Sunday morning. Most of you lot are having a hangover experience, after raving the night away. I get that, I was the same last week. My legs were like jelly, my head felt like it was about to explode, and my feet were so sore, still find it amazing that I am able to stand. So on a Sunday morning you don't want to hear something that might set off the bomb that is your head. You want something relaxing, right? Well, your friend TCD has found a wicked mix, that might get you in the recovery zone! House music. Who doesn't like House music? If you know someone who doesn't like House music, report them to the authorities! They should be in prison! That in itself is a crime against humanity. House has done nothing wrong, and has give us everything we need to be human again. Especially the early stuff, starting in the early 80s. It was all harmless, yet experimental music. And it's still beautiful to this day! Now you might wonder: TCD, which mix are you presenting to us? Well, it's a mix made by someone called pramster. Don't know anything about the DJ, so the focus today is entirely at his mix, a mix he made back in 2010. And in this mix he added some obscure underground records I've not heard before. Time to check the tracklist! 01. The 28th Street Crew - I Need A Rhythm (Vocal Club Mix) 02. Boneshakers - Don't Go Away (B.I.D. Mix) 03. Paradox - Jailbreak (House Tip) 04. 2 Guys On Acid - House Music (All Night Long) (Club House Mix) 05. Reese - Rock To The Beat (Original Mix) 06.

Neal Howard - Indulge (Club House Mix) If I'm honest, I don't know half of these records! And I was fully into House during the early 90s. But maybe it was a bit different, the House music I listened to. But that's not a big issue: this would only leave me in a better position to appreciate House music more! Again, I know nothing about the DJ, but he has made a very interesting mix with a lot of awesome records. Nice and relaxing flow throughout. This music genre cannot do any harm. It's flawless. It's beautiful. And it's timeless. I'm listening to this in 2019, and still get goosebumps. And am extremely mellow whilst hearing these anthems. Of course he had to add a few of the classic anthems, and they are so good to hear them again. But also a lot of underground stuff. I love it a lot. This mix is just the right mix to listen to when you are recovering after a night out. So what are you waiting for? Even though it's nearly 9 years old, you can still download this bad boy. Get this down your ears right now!

  • The Return Of Headhunterz Album Mix - Mixed By Elliot #028 (2018)

    When Headhunterz announced his return to the Hardstyle scene, many embraced his return. Many witnessed him during his first period of success, and we kind of missed his sound. We thought we lost him to the EDM world, like Tiesto. But thankfully that wasn't the case, as Headhunterz returned. And what a way to return! A new album, sold out nights in the Ziggodome (I think it was the Ziggodome, right?). The world would know that the lost son did return to the mother sound! I did completely miss the hype around it. I was probably the last to jump the band wagon. I did see the YouTube videos of him, and those records really blew me away. It was the missed sound, the one we were craving for. Maybe a bit cheesy those videos, but the music was seriously EPIC. He was one of the reasons why I kept on listening to Hardstyle. It got dull at some point, but Headhunterz and friends still kept it interesting. I missed the release of his album. I missed the event. Well, blame it on my stupid health being dodgy. But now I'm back, and I went on Soundcloud to search for some Headhunterz music. And boy, did I find a mix for you all! A mix by Elliot. Half an hour long, pure Hardstyle porn. Euphoric Hardstyle. Just my passion and love. This is what the scene was lacking: good melodic and euphoric tunes. Or maybe I was listening to the wrong artists? Anyway, the tracklist. You will fall in love instantly! 01. Headhunterz - Intro 02. Headhunterz & Sound Rush - Rescue Me 03. Headhunterz, Wildstylez & Noisecontrollers - No One Can Stop Us Now 04. Headhunterz - Takin' It Back 05. Headhunterz - Destiny (Cinematic Edit) vs (Pro Mix) 06. Headhunterz - Still Standin' 07. Headhunterz - Path Of The Hunter 08. Headhunterz & Sub Zero Project - Our Church This is exactly what I needed. Last week I was at GPF's event, which was all rawstyle/puzzycore/uptempo, but now I wanted melodies coming through the speakers. I wanted lovely melodies (and no 3567313 BPMs flying through). And who else to go to? Headhunterz is the main man. Elliot made this mix using records from Headhunterz's album, and the album is dope as fuck. Lit as fuck, as people in the UK would say it. He always gives each and every record a special touch. Deeper meaning. Maybe it's easy for Heady, but to me it sounds like he's made such an effort to make music sound even better! Even putting tiny bits and bobs that no-one would normally give a shit about, he just does it. And what he also does is making music so extremely catchy. You won't find a record in this mix not catchy. All can be whistled to. Especially the one I really appreciate, and maybe that's just because it was targeted to me, a Dutchman. The best one in this mix has got to be 'Our Church'. But all in all they are all lit! I can't find any flaws on the production side of Headhunterz. I am seriously impressed with whatever he does. Just think of what our life would have been without him there. EDM isn't the scene to be in, mate. Stick to Hardstyle, you are bloody good at it. A GOD to the ravers. Elliot's mix contains only one tiny mixing error, but nothing to be alarmed about. This mix still remains extremely interesting to check out, and if you haven't purchased the album, you should do it right now!

  • This Is Not A GPF Event - Event Review (2019)

    I am broken. Seriously broken. But there's a good reason for me being like this, in this state. I went to the Netherlands last week for one specific party, and seeing as I haven't raved in a while, it was going to break me anyway. But seeing as you are regular visitors of my website (and Facebook) you kind of guessed which event I went to. And what this is, this is a review of the event and the day before and after. I am a supporter of GPF for a while now, since the first time I noticed their mixes online. I did feel a connection, so unique and strong, it grabbed me and never let me go. They noticed my work (which is an achievement on its own), and we started chatting outside of social media. They followed me, and of course I followed them. They noticed that I had a shit year (2018 wasn't the best: hospitalized and massive surgery), and were kind enough to provide myself (and the missus) with backstage tickets for their upcoming event in Gemert, Netherlands. I've never seen an act do that for a simple reviewer. Maybe I'm targeting the wrong audience? Anyway, they made my Christmas special. The tickets arrived (including a free album, dildo, stickers, etc), and I talked to the wife. She's ABSOLUTELY NOT into this music. I took her to a rave several times, and never did I get the chance to persuade her. Trance and House, that's the maximum I can get out of her. But this, Puzzycore, that's not her cup of tea. So I decided to go on my own (it was our gran's birthday on the 16th anyway), and had to tell the wife I was going to leave her for a few days. That wasn't a pleasant conversation. The rest was going to be history, but I wasn't sure I could attend the event. I was still recovering from surgery, and even today I still feel the agonising pain. But it's going the right direction. So when I felt right, I booked the ferry and the hotel. Obviously I had to take a few days of work, and I had to decide what to do. Seeing as I've got family in the Netherlands, I asked my mum and dad if I could crash at their place on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday night. They were fine with it. I needed a hotel. But the last time I went to the Time Out in Gemert, that was 11 years ago, and I had friends who lived nearby. They moved away, so I had to get a hotel. Found one on Booking.com's website, so that was handy. Around £55, which is acceptable. Still meant that I had to get a cab, or put my training shoes on (about 30 minutes walking). But that got booked, and the ferry was next. Not to boast, but I'm a die hard idiot: I came up with the plan to do an 8 hour shift, and drive straight after to Dover. That's how much of a GPF fan I am. Thursday happened, and I left work. From this moment to the second I got home it isn't really interesting. The only thing interesting was the look on the customs person when I rolled the window down and he heard GPF. But besides that it was dull. Especially the long 200 km straight road. Pfew, glad to have cruise control in the car, would have been deadly for my legs. Whilst at my parents I visited a few colleagues and family members, but you are not interested in that, are you? OK, let's skip forward to Saturday. My dad went fishing, and I went to the hotel. It wasn't far away from where my parents lived, so when I got there, it was a nice area, and I felt relaxed. I felt a migraine coming up, so a few paracetamols in my gob, and I thought I could sleep for a few hours. The hotel was separated from the actual restaurant bit. When the lovely lady took my details and payment, she said ''I'll take you to the hotel''. I found that odd. But it was at the oppossite of the street. The location was beautiful, but no airconditioning! It felt like I was in an oven! But who cared? I was in Gemert, and the party was only hours away! The long awaited party was about to happen. I needed a kip. My body said no. So that was a bummer. So after no sleep I decided to go outside after hearing people scream 'GREAZY PUZZY FUCKERZ'. I thought that I wasn't the only one. And I was right! I met others, some from the UK, some from Finland and Sweden. All the way from there to come and rave. That's dedication. They pointed out that I was the only one not dressed to the occassion. Well, don't have any pink clothes, but had something sorted. We all went back to the hotel rooms. Getting ready. Phoned a cab company, and the cab arrived an hour later. The bloody thing was hilarious: the cab driver was nice (could have used deodorant), but he came in a minibus. And when he dropped me off at the Time Out, he did it next to the entrance. Funny thing? I was the only one in the bus. So it looked like I was important. Gave him a tip, and joined everyone else in the queue. People were getting hyped up. It did feel weird, me standing there on my own. But that's not a difficult thing to accomplish: I went to my first ever rave on my own (Mysteryland 1998 Outdoor), and stood amongst 25.000 ravers whilst being 14 years old. So being 35 at a club in Gemert would not have been an issue, right? The lovely people at the entrance scanned me, touched me, and when they wanted to scan my ticket, they said that it was a 'backstage ticket'. Well, I didn't know how it works, I'm not famous lol. They pointed me towards the backstage area, and I had to walk all the way there. Kind of annoyed, but it was a short trip. Met some people there whilst waiting for security to do their work, and became known as the 'London friend'. This was my first time ever somewhere backstage. Wasn't really what I was expecting. No M&Ms colour coordinated, no lovely red carpet on the floor. Basically a location where the artists could chill once they did their set, nothing more. But I wasn't going there to relax, I was there to party! So I took my white pale arse to the dancefloor, and was ready to be amazed! And that happened. But first, I needed a drink. I walked to the bar, and a lovely young lady took my order (vodka Red Bull). Turns out you needed tokens. Fuck. Where can I get them from? Walked to the bit where the lady sold tokens, walked back to the bar, and started to drink. Remember I had surgery? Well, it was kidney surgery, so getting drunk wasn't probably the best thing to achieve. But I did it anyway. You know why? I decided that this was going to be my last event. My health comes first. I've been going to raves for many years, and I couldn't picture myself raving at 55. So stop when you still can. And why not go out in style? GPF's event was the right one. So let's get drunk. Beer was only one token, and had my pockets full with tokens, so I was going to get drunk. The night started with DJ Distinction. Never heard of the man, but he set the tone for the evening. Got my Nikes on, so I was going to rave my ass off. Nearly forgot to mention that I spotted Rooler backstage! I am shy as hell, and could have asked him for a picture, but my double chin would not have looked good in a picture. And I always think that they are being asked the same question over and over again during the evening. Should have taken a picture. But hey, I'm late. Next act were Caine and Rooler. Were they GPF? They came on stage with the masks on, so is it true? Or is it Sefa and Rooler? Or Malice? I'm so confussed. The set was as silly as you would expect! And Rooler decided to showcase his moves in front of the decks. Thera HC was next. He threw a wicked set, and was smiling all the way through. Love to see acts having fun, because that should be the reason why someone is a DJ. It was getting closer to 01:30, and GPF came on stage! Matty and Caine! The whole crowd gathered and got ready to be amazed! And even though we already know their back catalogue, they did threw in a few records we'd never heard of. My mind was blown. This was exactly what I anticipated. This was my kind of heaven. Oh, did I mention earlier I was getting drunk? At this stage I was extremely drunk. So god damn wasted. I needed to slow down, otherwise an ambulance was needed. But would that stop me raving? Nah. Even though I was doing the hakken thing and I felt my kidney bouncing inside of me, I still continued. Could have been the alcohol. Could have been my personality. Whatever it was, I couldn't give a toss about my health. This was my end game. After GPF it was time for the Maren-Kessel Tunnel Rave Live. Still don't know if this is a joke or not? Is it a spoof? I don't know what it is, but they threw an amazing set. Got everyone bouncing even harder than before. D-Fence entered the stage. I was really looking forward to his set. And he didn't disappoint. Don't know what he looks like behind the mask (didn't spot him backstage), but that's irrelevant. The set was banging. During this set I was feeling a bit meh. My body battery was going down quickly, and I had to call it a night. Yes, maybe I am a puzzy. But at least I went. That's the main gist of it. I went, and many didn't. Thankfully throughout the night I spoke to Matty and Martyna, and he gave me a nice pink shirt with GPF written on it. Still didn't ask for a picture (what's wrong with me). But what I did mention to him was that he (and whoever is GPF) should be proud. Achieving this is just beyond belief. It's not a joke anymore, it's an institution. The end was near, and I was getting knackered. Walked towards the exit via the backstage bit, and saw Caine standing there. Again, no picture. But fuck me, he does look scary in real life! I did see his images on Facebook, and I thought it was a Viking filter on Snapchat, but no, he does look like he's about to devour an elephant in one bit! And he was also talking to someone else (don't like to intrude people during conversations). And I was absolutely wasted. Fresh air! That's what I needed! A cab came, and I went back to the hotel. Quickly grabbed a coffee to get the beer taste out of my mouth, and tried to sleep. Woke up 4 hours later, decided to have a shower, and left the hotel. Walked to the restaurant across the street, and they gave me a massive plate, filled with Dutch breakfast things. That filled me up nicely. It was time to head back down South. The journey was alright, but I felt that there was still a bit of alcohol inside of me. My parents noticed my state, and I showed them images of the party, and videos. And they still smiled. Explaining GPF to the uninterested is like training a dog to cook a meal: you can try, but you will fail. My dad has got an open mind, and he found it funny that I went to this party just to hear this crap. On Monday the ferry took me back to the UK. Glad to be back in my home country (UK will always be my number 1). Picked up the missus on the way home, and whilst asleep, snored so damn loud, I kept her awake. I still feel sorry for this, she made several videos of me actually snoring so loud. So, what have I learned from this GPF event? That it was EPIC. And I did embrace it like I've never done before. But what it taught me was that you should take life as light as possible. Don't let the media take you down, but enjoy life. There's no point in making everything negative, when you can laugh about and live your own life. Enjoy it as much as you can. I really enjoyed myself this weekend. Met a few nice people, saw a lot of inflatable cocks and dolls, and had the time of my life. But I have to end on a high note, and I think I did achieve exactly that. Maybe I will go back raving, but my health comes first. I will still continue blogging, but the raving train has left the station without me. Thank you GPF and everyone I met, and also the Time Out for a wicked night out. Even though I was Billy No Mates, I felt alive and kicking. And that's what raving is about! I know you might disagree about the music, but think of it this way: they are having fun. Are you having fun? Are you really having fun, typing away behind your computer, complaining about this music? Put all the negativity aside, and rave. Rave safe! TCD signing off. Oh, I still feel my legs being absolutely knackered. Ps. you want to see pictures? Check them out here: PICTURES

  • Happy Hardcore Classics 81 'Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo: The Anthems' (2017)

    I was a huge fan of Charly Lownoise and Mental Theo during the 90s! Like, massive! I was so into their music, I bought every single of every song they released. I consider myself a huge fan, but then you are woken up by a Soundcloud channel called 'History Of Happy Hardcore', and you realise all of a sudden that they are bigger fans of them. I've never made any mixes at all, celebrating their music. I just raved. And what HOHH have done, is made the ultimate mixtape. And when I say ultimate, I do mean ultimate. I've not come across such a wicked tracklist before. So many flashbacks to the 90s. This is when TCD was a wee lad, and danced in his underwear. Or tried to dance: it was more hakkuh, which most of the other friends didn't appreciate. But I couldn't care less. I was having a blast, with two of the finest DJs and producers out there, supporting me through my childhood. I've bought a lot, and know a few exclusive records by these two, but HOHH have dug deep and found even more exclusive records, ones I haven't even heard before! And that's something I would never thought would happen. Of course they picked the most well known records, but there are shit loads in here you wouldn't expect! Trust me, this tracklist (and mix) are hot! 01. Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo - Stars (Rave Mix) 02. 2 Brothers On The 4th Floor feat Des'Ray & D-Rock - Fairytales (Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo Hardcore Mix) 03. Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo - Your Smile (Happy Hardcore Mix) 04. Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo - Wonderfull Days (Rotterdam Mix) 05. Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo - Fantasy World (Hardcore Mix) 06. Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo - Stars (Hardcore Mix) 07. Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo - Streetkids (Trance Mix) 08. Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo - White Borderline 09. Brothers In Crime - Dance (Charly Lownoise Remix) 10. Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo - Energy 11. Raver's Nature - Take Off! (Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo Remix) 12. Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo - Hardcore Feelings (Club Mix) 13. Uranus - Flowed On A Vibe (Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo Remix) 14. Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo - Swinging On A Star 15. Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo - Next 2 Me (Extended Happy Hardcore Mix) 16. Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo - Fly, Fly, Fly .... 17. Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo - Gimnme Gimme Gimme 18. Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo - Miracles 19. Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo - Party 20. Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo - Childhood 21.

Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo - The Bird 34. Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo - The Ultimate Sextrack (Original Mix) Warning: 90s flashbacks do occur! So be warned! HOHH, thank you so fucking much! I did throw away most of my compilation recently, and I'm gutted I threw away many CDs I should have kept. Including their best of album. But nothing is lost, I've got this absolutely epic mix! And it does contain the happiest of happiest tunes ever made in them. Maybe a tad cheesy, but fuck it, let's have a ball! They are in HOHH Hardcore Hall Of Fame, and in mine too! They might have made some extremely shitty Happy Hardcore tunes (like the Christmas song, that's was tremendously bad), but on the other hand, they did make my youth special. And so many unforgettable tunes followed after they were created during the early 90s. Where would we have been without them? I don't know. And I can't picture a world without them. It just doesn't make any sense. Why? Well, because they were anthem makers. Look at these quality tunes in this mix! You cannot deny the fact that you have been singing or humming along when you heard the memorable tunes such as 'Wonderfull Days', 'Stars', 'Fairytales', 'The Bird', etc. Which record is the best one? It's the one I'd not heard before: 'Get Free'. This is the ULTIMATE Happy Hardcore anthem! This is just perfect, just enough cheese and dirtiness to make it worth your time. This has blown my mind. How come I've not heard this one before? I'm ashamed! A wonderfull mix. Can't seem to find anything wrong with this mix. So the ultimate score for the ultimate mix! Thanks HOHH!

  • DJ Brisk @ Slammin Vinyl vs Hardcore Heaven (1998)

    On Partyflock there are a few fellow Dutchmen who also love UK Hardcore, and in this group we talk about a lot. The other day, one of the regular contributors mentioned to me that he was listening to a few oldskool Brisk sets, and I asked him which one I should definately check out. The one he mentioned was the Slammin Vinyl vs Hardcore Heaven set, recorded at the Santuary in Milton Keynes back in 1998. 21 years ago. With MC Storm on the microphone. Long time DJ Brisk fan, there's still a lot for me to hear. I've not been on his website for quite a while, but what I do know is that you can find shitloads of mixes on it. So if you checked this mix out and want more, why not check out his website? Anyway, Milton Keynes. 1998. A long time ago. When everything was much easier, and happier. You will see the tracklist and will get a happy buzz, because you know that this is as happy as you can get it. 01. Double R - Shadows 02. Bass Reaction - Technophobia (Scott Brown Remix) 03. Bass-X - Horsepower 04. Alas Smith & Sharkey - Oh No! 05. Bass-X - Make Em Clap 06. DJ Robbo & Jon Doe - Power 07. Twist & Friendly - Rock The Place 08. Paranoia - Tomorrow 09. DJ Fade - Freedom (Frantic Remix) 10. Breeze & DNA - Driving Me Crazy (Frantic Remix) 11. Jimmy J & Cru-L-T - DJ's In Full Effect (DJ Brisk Remix) 12. Brisk - Set Free 13. Brisk & Trixxy - Eurolove 14. Stealth - See Me Climb (Brisk's Electro Flava Mix) 15. Brisk & Vinylgroover - Freedom 2 Dance (Triple-J Remix) 16. Bang! - Break Of Dawn (Brisk & Ham Remix) Before you go 'but the quality of the audio sucks', let me remind you that you are probably too young to understand how us kids back in the day got our buzz. It was on mixtapes, on cassettes. This was the golden era, when everyone has a cassette player. Yes, the quality might have sucked massively, but for us it was magical! How was it possible to walk around, listening to your favourite music, without being disturbed? Anyway, someone uploaded this onto Youtube, so we can all experience the madness happening in Milton Keynes. You can hear the whistle crew in the background (they are lively), and accompanied by the tunes is MC Storm, getting the crowds alive and kicking. This set is really intoxicating, and if I need to elaborate why this set is wicked, you ain't Hardcore, son. Brisk's mixing is tight. Really tight. Smooth and sexy. Towards the end of the set it might look like Brisk is loosing the plot, but I don't think that's the case: I think the actual cassette was fucked. That would normally be the case. But during those 55 minutes Brisk kills it all! He comes and destroys the speakers. He showed the people at Slammin Vinyl vs Hardcore Heaven how to party. I've got nothing bad to mention. Still can't believe that this happened 21 years ago. The tunes sound so fresh, and not outdated. Or is that because I still live in the 90s? Whatever it might be, it's worth checking this mix out. Ps. I do not know for sure if this flyer used for this review is the correct one, but who cares?

  • DJ Bubble Hardcore Mix (2019)

    I can say in all honesty that it must have been more than 5 years since I last heard a DJ Bubble mix! Crikey, it could have even been longer! So I was surprised to see a mix appear on my timeline on Soundcloud! I had to click on it, and see what he had to offer. I remember the good ol' days when he was pushing his label JB Recordings forward, and the weird chats we used to have on their website. That must have been longer than 5 years ago. Anyway, what has he got to offer us? Seeing as Bubble loves and breathes UK Hardcore, don't expect a Trance or Pop mix. Expect a proper UK Hardcore mix, and that's exactly what he offers us. Cheerful and happy music. The tracklist will make you smile for miles. Make sure you get this mix. It doesn't happen often that he uploads stuff, but when he does, you are in for a treat! Just check this bad boy out! 01. Nalin & Kane vs Denis The Menace - Cruising (Darren Styles Mix) 02. Dougal & Gammer feat Jenna - All The Tears 03. Voodoo & Serano - Overload (Hixxy & Re-Con Remix) 04. Gareth Emery & Standerwick feat HALIENE - Saving Light (Hixxy Remix) 05. Technikore & Jenny J - Lights Down Low 06. Soundrush - Take Me Back (Kutski & Darren Styles Remix) 07. Darren Styles - Switch 08. Darren Styles & Gammer - Big Tings 09. Impact & Resist - Someday (Fallon Remix) 10. Gareth Emery feat Christina Novelli - Concrete Angel (Darren Styles & Chris Unknown Remix) 11. Dougal & Gammer - Kryptonite 12. Breeze & Styles - Heartbeatz (Supreme & MOB Remix) 13. Darren Styles - Save Me 14. N-Force vs Darren Styles - Right By Your Side (Gammer Remix) 15. Stonebank feat EMEL - Ripped To Pieces DJ Bubble's mix is JUST what I needed! I don't see mixes like this one appear on my timeline. A bit of the 'old' and the 'new'. But mainly the old, when UK Hardcore was literally everything to me. When I could not go by without hearing at least one song a day. Or even an album a day. This made me extremely happy! Flashbacks to the good ol' days. DJ Bubble's selection is really good. This is when UK Hardcore made me happier than ever! I was a Millennium UK Hardcore onwards fan. Not the older stuff. But to see these records in a nicely hour long mix just makes me happy. And that said, it should make you happy too! I've got no negative comments to post here. These mixes should be done more often. A bit of everything. But please don't forget the good days. The happy days. So credits to Bubble for making this crazy Dutchman happy! Best record? ALL OF THEM! Check it out! It's worth your hour! An hour full of happiness!

  • Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz Interview (2019)

    We have the honour to speak to this biggest live act in the world right now: Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz! You have seen their names before and have checked out their Sextapes already, but we are going to take a deeper look into who they are, what they represent, and what you can expect 2 weeks from now, at their first solo event: ‘This Is Not A GPF Event’. Be prepared for probably the weirdest interview you have ever seen. Q: Hey GPF, how are you doing? How’s life at the moment? "We can’t complain. We’ve just had some breakfast (chocolate cereal with water instead of milk) and it was delicious – a great way to start the day." Q: The kids all want to know who you are, so let’s take off the masks and reveal ourselves! Who’s behind the masks? Is it Sefa? Is it Rooler? Who are you? "Everyone knows that everybody is GPF. If you’re feeling the Greaziness then you can be a part of this sexy, chaotic period." Q: According to several websites the idea was created when 2 fucked up minds came together many moons ago. Now you are an established name, but give us an insight to the exact moment when GPF was born. "We actually recently answered this question in another interview but we’re happy to explain it again. Our great grandfathers created GPF back in the early 1900s when they were out hunting for goldfish. Legend has it that Captain Greazy and Lord Puzzy invented the hardcore sound back in those days and we do have proof to back it up but it’s stored safely in a secret place." Q: What’s the meaning behind GPF? It was created to remove boundaries from the harder styles, yet you create singlehandedly a new boundary! "We can give you a serious answer here, for once! We just wanted to bring some originality and most importantly FUN to the scene. Everything seems so serious at the moment and it’s nice to lighten up and see people smile, laugh and get involved with the whole act. There’s 1000s of serious acts out there so surely there’s room for us occasionally! If we can help people to smile and have fun, then we are happy too." Q: Can you describe GPF in 3 words? "Moist, Soggy, Damp." Q: It still doesn’t make any sense. This act has been so unique in the harder styles scene (not the masks, that has been done before (see Angerfist)), and the amount of sexual words in each records, and the amount of inflatable penises and blow up dolls at each event is just ridiculous. You know what they say about people who talk a lot about sex? They don’t get a lot. Is that true? "Yes it’s true. The only people we have touched sexually are each other and that was completely by accident. Mr Puzzy was in the bathroom one day, he forgot to lock the door I walked in, slipped, and brushed my penis against his naked shoulder. It was terrifying. " Q: The tracks are all so different, you can’t compare them to anything else. What kind of approach do you have before making a record? How much beer goes down your throat before you come up with those ludicrous records? "We’re always sober when we create these tracks. The only rule that we have is that we have to be sock-less and in a bath when we start the new record. It also helps if we drink some apple juice beforehand but that’s not essential." Q: It’s no mystery anymore who’s behind it. We have to spill the beans. But what many people might not know is that GPF is for everyone, and contains everyone. It was created to have a fun and sexy time. Have you ever snorted dried up anal lube up a 5 pound note? "Never take drugs, kids. Eat 5 portions of fruit and veg per day and make sure you get 6 hours of sleep per night. We did shampoo a goat once.. he was very grateful for the pampering. Oh, and we trimmed his nails as they were getting a bit long." Q: Back to reality. Already two albums in the bag, and many performances all over the world. It was created to have fun and exciting times (see= sexy), but it has become serious. It’s not a joke anymore, and the act has gained a huge following. Is it something you did expect when GPF was created, or were you thinking that it might be a one-day thing, and people would soon forget about it? "Of course, we never truly expected it to grow this big, this quickly but we are very grateful for it! We see that a lot of people think we are just making a joke out of the scene or trying to ruin something but these people don’t understand that we’re trying to create our own brand, image, sound, genre ect.. Believe it not, behind the scenes is professional (in a GPF way) even if it looks like all we do is rub each other’s inflatable penises. We put in the hard work but of course the ultimate goal is to make sure everyone is having fun! That’s what parties are for." Q: The albums were a huge success. The promotion around it was just splendid (credit to the social media expert, keeping GPF fresh and uplifting, and yet unique). Your posts do reach thousands of fans, and comments all around. What’s the secret behind this success? "Originality, fun, randomness.. We found that if you don’t follow the ‘normal’ rules then it seems to work well. It also helps to never iron your clothes and only drink sparkling water." Q: Balls, I completely forgot! The masks! Where do they come from? Those masks are obviously linked to the act, but are not remotely sexy. Why these masks, and who came up with this idea? "The masks are called ‘Rubies Skinner Mask’ and can be found online. We just wanted something unique and gruesome but somehow it’s turned into a sex idol." Q: Two albums already. Any future plans for more sexy albums? Do they also come with dildos and stickers? "We are always planning something new. 2019 is going to be filled with music, sweat, dildos and stickers. And hair." Q: This whole act has grown so rapidly, you also have merchandise. From the lightest pink shirts to hoodies with ‘Matty is Alive’ written on it. Yet no real size dildos or dolls. Will we be seeing those in the webshop any day soon? "Our main dream in life is to become sex shop owners and sell sex toys globally to old men." Q: You all bring the madness to each event you play at. No matter where it is. But which event was the first, where did you showcase GPF for the first time? "Ground Zero was our first, closing the raw stage. It was packed and insane. It all was up from there!" Q: Which event has been the most memorable one so far? And why? "Probably HOH. The crowd just understood GPF and the reactions were mind blowing. And we didn’t wear pants behind the decks so you could really feel the nice breeze on your balls." Q: Talking about events makes my underwear moist. I’m obviously thinking about the upcoming GPF event in Time-Out in Gemert, The Netherlands. You promised us a wicked night, but what does that involve? "We’re planning on a really soothing need filled with hookah pipes, melodic trance and maybe some progressive house. We’ve got a petting zoo backstage and also a milkshake vendor. Are you ready for the insanity?" Q: The line-up (again, credit for that!) is so different! Caine, D-Fence, Distinction, Jeff, Ludo, Maren-Kessel Tunnel Rave, Qriminal, Rooler, Thera, and of course yourselves. The line-up is truly astonishing, but why ask Caine? Wasn’t really necessary to add him to the line-up, or was it? "Caine is a great friend of the family and we think he deserves a spot on this lineup. It wasn’t necessary but we thought it would be nice to help a friend out. Also he has promised a handjob to all three of us for letting him play." Q: 75% of the tickets have sold so far. If you had to appeal to those people who want to go but haven’t made a decision yet because they are unsure what to expect, what would you say to them? "JUST. FUCKING. CUM. But yeah… just get your pink clothes out of your closet and have a fun night with us. Much better than staying at home or going elsewhere!" Q: I’m driving all the way from London to Gemert to get smashed. Trust me, the Crazy Dutchman will have one final party before he wraps up everything (it’s been many years, since 1998, and my health ain’t the best anymore). Will you be serving pink drinks at the bar? "You are a legend for coming but we had to have you there! Looking forward to it. It’s going to be special as it’s been so long for you, so I hope it lives up to your expectations! We will do our best to look after you and serve you pink drinks. And do body shots from you." Q: Pink is the theme. No pink at the entry means spit in your hair. But what if my foreskin is pink, will you still spit on me, or spit on my knob? "We can spit anywhere you like. We can tape you to a wall and stub cigarettes out on your big black nipples." Q: Any secrets you want to share to the fans, secrets we are not aware of? Has Caine got a foreskin? A hatred towards Egyptian pyramids? A toy car stuck in his beard? Who’s got the longest knob? "Caine is actually 15 years old. GPF has 5 members. We’re going to release a secret album this year. The world is going to end in 2001. If you have size 10 shoes then you have a 69% chance of being gay. Cheese is good for your health. Remember to suck a toe daily as it’s good." Q: The event takes place on the 16th between 22:00 and 05:00. Which set should we look out for? And again, why is Caine there? "Who’s Caine? And which event?" Q: All jokes aside, I love GPF. I’ve reviewed many mixes and albums, and will continue until the day I die. For those eager enough to see you more than once, where can they find you in the future? "2019 is a pretty full schedule already! We’ve already announced the likes of Hardshock and Harmony of Hardcore. If you keep an eye on the Events tab on our facebook page, I regularly update it. So everyone, come and see us and get sweaty." Q: When are you cumming to London? We need you here! "Hmm, an England gig would be sexy! No requests as of yet though.. Promoters – get your finger out of your asses and get us to the UK!" Q: I always thank my mom and dad whenever I can. Because of them having sexy time together I’m here. And where would the world be without me? Who would you thank, if this is your ‘miss Universe’ moment (you won the contest)….? "We would probably thank Elvis as he has been a major inspiration. Also Apollo Creed as he was a very motivational man who has got us through many hard times. I’d also like to thank you for being so sexy and wet. We love you. Thanks a lot for your time. x" Thank you, GPF, for the weirdest interview ever! For those who spent their time on this website, please elaborate why you haven't purchased tickets yet?

  • Happy Hardcore Classics 57 'Scott Brown: The Anthems '96-'99' (2016)

    Scott Brown. The ultimate legend of the UK Hardcore/Happy Hardcore genre. The anthem making machine from Scotland. If you never heard of UK Hardcore or Happy Hardcore before and you needed to be introduced properly, you should look out for mixes made by Scott Brown or contain Scott Brown records (like the one you are about to listen to). This man has single handedly shapen Hardcore and made it a better place for us ravers. No matter which event or where the location might have been: play a Scott Brown record and the rave would go off! Madness all the way! Be it as Scott Brown, Q-Tex, Interstate, or whichever alias it might have been, his influence has been tremendous for years. He's still seen as the King of Happy Hardcore by many, and his music is still played all over the world. Of course he wasn't the first to make/play it, but he has been a pioneer since the music was created. He influenced many other artists,and he is still going strong today! The Soundcloud channel 'History Of Happy Hardcore' made this mix 3 years ago, showcasing how awesome Scott Brown was (and still is) in the late 90s, when he kept on making anthems after anthems. Seeing as this is the second instalment, you might miss a few well known records, but why not check out the first mix? Spread the SB love all around! 01. Interstate - Lost Generation 02. Scott Brown - New Sensation 03. Scott Brown - Andromeda 04. Q-Tex - The Mission From God 05. Q-Tex - Trip To The Hyperdome 06. Scott Brown - Hypnotik 07. Scott Brown - Feelin' Alright 08.

Scott Brown vs Davie Forbes - Bust The New Jam Now, that's a tracklist and a half! Bloody Nora, THOHH have made this wicked tribute mix to the legend, using a lot of obscure Scott Brown records I've not heard before. And I considered myself a huge fan. What an embarassing moment, if truth be told. But to defend myself: at least I know the mainstream records. This mix is 3 hours and 20 minutes long. So no quick mixing/short radio edits, only the length necessary to get the message across. And people seem to like this a lot! Who doesn't want to hear piano focussed Hardcore records? A lovely bit of Happy Hardcore from 96 to 99? And the worst thing is, I can't pick a favourite record. Just simply because of the amount of awesome records used for this mix. I think the message behind this mix is to sit down, press play and have a rave! Have a blast! Enjoy the madness that was created by Scott Brown. The ultimate hero. The unsung God of Happy Hardcore.

  • Artcore Vinyl Mix (2019)

    Artcore. A word that resembled a movement started in the 90s. It was Hardcore, but more futuristic. The main man behind the label was Ruffneck, and with his forward thinking he created this awesome label (well, several labels to be precise), and the movement was born. It still has a huge following all over the world, and I'm amongst those who think this is a sound we need more in our lives. Fusco's mix was highlighted on Soundcloud to me, and seeing as the logos used in the picture are known by me, I had to give this a go. And I wasn't disappointed! Yes, it's an Artcore mix containing shitload of records from labels such as Gangsta Records, Ruffneck Records, Ruffex Records. So what's there NOT to like? He used vinyl only. And he selected 14 wicked records from the back catalogue of the Artcore movement. The end result is an hour long mix. Is it worth checking out? Is it worth to sit for this an hour long? Well, we're about to find out! 01. Wedlock - Mirrors 02. Dark Syndicate - Straight Up Hardcore 03. Juggernaut - Don't Fuck With A Ruffneck 04. Ectomorph - The Fall Of Babylon 05. DJ Ruffneck - 20 Bullets To Comply 06. Wedlock vs Knightvision - Holy Kingdom 07. Paradox - My DJ .... Cutz 08. Wedlock - Evolution Theory 09. Trypticon - More Gangsta 10. DJ Ruffneck - Napalm (Burn!) 11. Nosferatu - The Future 12. Undercover Anarchist - The Craziest 13. Wedlock & Nosferatu - Fingerprintz 14. DJ Ruffneck - The Enemy I'm aware that DJ Ruffneck used a lot of aliases but I'm not sure I know them all. I know of at least one name in this mix who isn't Ruffneck (Nosferatu). This could be 'spot the Ruffneck alias' - game? Of course Fusco selected the well known records, but also a few I've not come across before. But no matter if they are true underground or obscure underground records, they are still true to the Artcore movement. The tracklist is a thing of beauty. It's always a bonus if a mix is made by using vinyl only. And that's exactly what he has done. Tiny (really tiny) cross fading errors, but nothing else. I'm not taking points aways from the main score for those tiny errors.. Anyway, what's the biggest and best record in this mix? By far the most famous one in this mix is 'Don't Fuck With A Ruffneck'. But it's not my favourite! It's actually the last record used in this mix, 'The Enemy'. Fuck me hard, that's a beast. I forgot the drop in the middle of this record: has blown many speakers in the past! This has got to be the most Artcore record I've ever heard, and the best Ruffneck song BY FAR! Thanks Fusco for this wicked mix. Thanks for reminding me how wicked Artcore was, and still is!

  • Evolution of Hardcore (Part VI) (2019)

    It's a long time ago since we last heard a Selectabwoy mix. Maybe a bit too long ago. His 'Evolution Of Hardcore' mix series is doing serious damage all over the world! This is a unique concept, for which Selectabwoy goes through all the crates and asks people for specific records, and creates this hour-ish long mix, containing the finest DnB/Jungle/Early Hardcore records. It's a success concept that should get the recognition it deserves. And now we've come to the sixth instalment, for which he has dug deep, and found some serious contenders for being all-time favourite records. But, before we continue, let's address the elephant in the room. I'm not familiar with the rich history of Hardcore music as such. I do know the most played and well received records, but the underground stuff, that's something new to me. I've missed out on a lot when these tunes dominated the clubs. This sound simply did not cross the pond. Or maybe I wasn't open to it? Whatever the reason might be, it's time for me to go deeper into this sound. And for this he got some awesome gems. If Selectabwoy was a drug dealer, this would have been crystal meth. The finest of the finest. 'Say my name'-good. This hour will fly by. And truth be told, it's not an hour. It's an hour and a half. I was so focussed on the music, I wasn't even bothered about the length of the mix. 01. DJ A.K.A. - The Farside 02. DJ Fokus - Media 03. Acro - Superpod 04. DJ Mayhem - M-Power 05. Intense - Time Space Continuum 06. 4 Horsemen Of The Apocalypse - We Are The Future 07. 4 Hero - Wrinkles In Time 08. 4 Hero - Students Of The Future 09. Cortae - Short Term Memory Loss (Part 2) 10. Spinback, Q Project & Gwange - Lively Connection 11. Fugitive - Fugitive 12. Studio Pressure - Junglistics Part 1 13. Skanna - Until The Night Is Morning 14. The Full SP - S-Capaid 15. Bounty Killaz - Lay Back 16. Bounty Killaz - Bounty Killaz 17. Chalke - The Future (Now) 18. Flat 47 - Hideaway 19. Skanna - This Way 20. Mickey Finn - D-Pressed 21. Peshay & Roger Johnson - See The Light 22. DJ Gwange - Adrenalin 23. DJ Krust - The Resister 24. DJ Crystl - Meditiation (Remix) Someone said about this mix and the mix series (and I quote): ".. is fucking outrageously sick mate..". Well, no word of a lie! Selectabwoy ALWAYS impresses me, and this sixth mix is just another slammer. And bwoy, those tracks are ricidilously insane! The commenter on Soundcloud was so damn right. Normally I'm picky, and I always find something wrong. But nothing, absolutely nothing. I have tried to find an error, but nothing could be found. Every record is on spot, the mixing is dope, and, well, the vibes this mix has generated are all wicked! What this mix also points out to me is that these 'underground' records still stood the test of time. These records are around 23/24/25 years old, you have got to remember that! And they weren't made on laptops and shitty software: the producers made an effort, on basic machinery (compared to the present day equipment). And it's still strong, powerful music. It hasn't lost the meaning behind each and every record. Selectabwoy, damn you. You've made another AWESOME mix. Credit where credit is due! An all out 5 out of 5 stars from TCD! But would you have expected anything less?

  • Hardcore Yearmix 2018

    Jason S, the mix master, tagged TCD a few days ago on Facebook. I did spot a post earlier that day, but sadly didn't save it. Of course the mix master was promoting his latest mix, which is his 2018 Year mix, and as usual he has done the weirdest thing, raised the bar for himself, and mixed so many records together, I don't know how he actually breathes inbetween the mixing bit. He just keeps on feeding us Hardcore for an hour. 106 records. Is he nuts? How does he do that? I simply find it staggering that he found the time to mix this together so beautifully, and make it sound effortless. The result is, as you would expect, a very interesting mix. 2018 has been yet another great year for Hardcore, and you will see (once you look at the tracklist) that it's been a diverse year too! You can tell that Hardcore in general is going through this new phase, where everything in general needs to sound harder, rougher, tougher, and unpolished. Not always been my cup of tea, but in all honesty, Jason S always makes every mix interesting. So would this yearmix be my cup of tea, or would it be a lame tea without any milk (I live in the UK, so it's tea with milk). 01. Jason S - Intro: I Thought You Were The Demolition Expert 02.

I wouldn't mind if the tracklist was this long, but some artist names are so damn long, and I just want to have it all perfect. But I waisted half an hour lol. As I said before, the music is interesting. Hardcore is evolving, but I'm not sure I'm feeling it. I'm not on the bandwagon as we speak. Especially the move towards Uptempo, that's not my cup of tea. Talking about move, Sefa made it big in 2018. It was definately his year. His music was played literally everywhere, and I think he even had a cameo on the latest Thunderdome album. But I'm not a fan of his music. I appreciate his burst onto the scene, and it's amazing to have achieved this at his age, but his music is just really not my cup of tea. It just sounds so bland and boring.. It does contain a few interesting records, especially before the music turns into Uptempo Hardcore. But I'm an oldskool freak, so the one record that made me moist the most is 'Hardcore To The Bone', remixed by N-Vitral. A touch of the old and new, that's what I like. Anyway, credits to Jason for this awesome mix. Worth checking out right now! And if you like/love Sefa and the Uptempo movement, this is just your thing!

  • Masters Of Hardcore Classics - DJ Kyle (2019)

    A few eeeks ago I came into contact with someone on Soundcloud who made this Scott Brown mix. Project X his name was. And now under his alias Kyle he made a new channel on Soundcloud and already has two mixes on there. Depending on what your preference is, you could go for the Hardstyle one or the Hardcore one. Seeing as I am Dutch, I have gone for the Hardcore mix (obviously). And it's a MoH classics mix. So, I'm intrigued. Obviously I do not need to explain what Masters of Hardcore is to a die hard Hardcore fanatic. It's a label, a choice, a lifestyle. And still going strong since the Millennium era. Keeping the raving masses happy, that's what they have been doing for years, and to go back to the early years, it's always a blessing. If you see the tracklist you will love it instantly. 01. Tha Playah - Fuck The Titties (The Viper & Tommyknocker Remix) 02. Art Of Fighters & DJ Mad Dog - Party Starter 03. Neophyte & The Viper - 98 To Your Mind 04. Endymion & Art Of Fighters - Let's Get It On 05. Paul Elstak - I'm Not An Addict 06. DJ D vs Nitrogenetics - Melodic Art 07. Re-Style - Planetgroover 08. Dyprax & Angerfist - The Pearly Gates 09. Evil Activities vs The Viper - Raw To The Floor 10. Nitrogenetics - Inside Your Head 11. Re-Style - Get It Crackin' (2011 Edit) 12. Masters Of Ceremony - UNDR_CTRL09 13. Angerfist feat Cixx & Kokka - Brother's Keeper 14. Outblast - Eardrumz (Kutski & Bioweapon Remix) 15. Tha Playah - Mastah Of Shock (Angerfist Remix) 16. Masters Of Ceremony - Dirt 17. Angerfist - In A Million Years 18. Evil Activities - Nobody Said It Was Easy I do love MoH. And I think with me millions of others. It's not this underground thing anymore, nor has it ever been since they dominated the scene. But what kind of music do I prefer? Definately the older stuff, when they made these tracks (you can find them in the mix). I do find his selection interesing. Yes, you do find the most important records, but also a few lesser known/lesser played records. But what does that lead up to? A very interesting mix. If you start your mix with 'Fuck The Titties' and end with 'Nobody Said It Was Easy', the rollercoaster ride is clear: it's going to be epic. There are a few cross fading errors here and there. Sometimes it goes smooth, sometimes it doesn't. Doesn't ruin the outcome of the mix though, don't get me wrong. Anyway, the general gist of this mix is good. Love the vibes, loving the records.

  • Charlotte de Witte @ KNTXT Sportpaleis (2018)

    Charlotte de Witte. I had to Google her for her past, because, even though I've seen her name before, I do not know her background story. What I did know was that she's one of the quickest rising superstars in the Techno scene. At the age of 27 (or thereabout) she has become such a big name and plays at the biggest events all over the world, it would have been daft for me NOT to review one of her livesets, which I have found yesterday. It's only been up on Soundcloud for 2 months, and it already attracted around 52.1k+ plays so far, and the comments are all positive. And I have to agree that I'm digging her style. According to Wikipedia, one of her comments about Techno is as follows: 'I find beauty in music stripped down and bold. Less is more'. That's certainly true. It can be nice to have nice melodies and 365497 beautiful bassdrums, but why not keep it minimalistic? That doesn't mean the music does not pack a punch though, as you will find out! The tracklist isn't complete, so if you know the missing records, please let us know and we'll adapt it. 01. ID - ID w/ Regal - Still Raving 02.

There's no recording of the audience, but I guess they were blown away by her sheer power and determination to get everyone dancing. She has certainly achieved that! I'm sitting here at home, raving my ass off. She has made a name for herself, and I've got to give her credit for this inspiring set. I've not heard of this event before, or really knew the history of Charlotte de Witte, but she gets the thumbs up from me. This DJ is eager to showcase that people should focus on the music, and that looks are irrelevant. I would certainly agree with that statement: as long as the DJ can move your body, who cares what they look like. Man or woman. I simply couldn't care less. It's all about the music. Be it Techno or any other style. Charlotte's set is intense and powerful, and the time does fly by. Not one moment during this hour and a half set is boring. And the great thing about her set is that I do sense a lot of influences from the early Techno era. Basically, everything is perfect about her set. Would have been the best if the crowd would be on the recording, but hey, you can't have it all, eh?

  • Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz @ Decibel outdoor 2018 | Toxic Lab

    I'm getting more excited each single day. One of the biggest parties of 2019 is about to happen (only a handful of days away), and I'm going. I'm obviously talking about the GPF event (which isn't a GPF event). I feel like a 12 year old boy who is about to get kissed by the most beautiful girl in the classroom. Seriously, my happiness level has reached its peak, and truth be told, nothing can take that away from me. To get me even more hyped up, I do listen to everything GPF related every single day. And I tweet the fucking sods. And I let the world know how excited I am. The thing is, I cannot explain to other to what I'm going. Does anyone know what GPF is? Imagine telling this to friends and family, who do not like anything Hardstyle/Hardcore related. 'yes, I'm going to GPF and there's going to be a lot of BPM flying around, oh, and Matty is dead'. What? Yeah, it doesn't make any sense, and this kind of disorder I really like. So yesterday I went on Soundcloud and found their set at Decibel Outdoor 2018, and you just have to scroll through the comments, and you get a wide variety of comments, from people loving it to people really burning it down to the ground. But that's just it. It's only for a handful of people interesting: those who have got a wider view on the harder styles. And it's for those who like to laugh. I reckon I'll be laughing my way to the event, and at the event. Oh, and I'll be wasted. I haven't drinking a beverage in a while (alcoholic), and I will go all out. I've earned it, and want to rave the night away like I did in 1998. Ok, before we continue, here's the puzzlist. Damn, I mean tracklist! 01. Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz - Harmony Of Fuck (Decibel 2018 Reload) 02. Caine & Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz - Kendal Fuck 2.69 03. Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz & MC Jeff - Cumminn On UR Face 04. Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz - Greazy Fuckdrum (N-Vitral Fuckup) 05. Malice & Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz - All Wanna Fuck 06. Caine - Let's Get Pillz (Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz Let's Get Pro Mix) 07. Partyraiser & Scrape Face - Roll The Bass (Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz Remix) 08. Sjammienators & Ysiss - Booie Woogie (GPF Remix) 09. Deterrent Man & Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz - Ciao Duck Fuck 10. Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz - Fuck Me Daddy 11. MC Ludo - Maren Kessel Tunnel Rave (Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz Remix) 12. Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz & Toxic Inside - Fuck Breaks 13. Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz & Caine - Fuck Buddy 14. Rooler - Domination (Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz Remix) I cannot control my emotions, and are getting more nervous by the day. I havent' raved in a few years due to health issues, but I'll make damn sure that I'll be raving on the dancefloor. You will know I'm there. Why? Well, I'll be the one who is the happiest bloke there. Of course their Decibel set was received well by the people who were there. You can hear them all sing each and every song out loud, and I do reckon I'll do the same at the GPF event. I know them by heart. Is that pathetic? Yeah. Should have studied Shakespeare or something similar, but instead I do know each record of the GPF boys. #ripmatty There's just simply never enough greaze. I still can't understand how GPF got a hold on me so quickly, and how they have become good mates. It's like I'm talking about them like I known them for 25 years! This set is just perfect. The ending is just what you would expect: 1564643 BPM. Madness. And throughout their set they play their biggest hits. This set was only uploaded 3 months ago and already has 18k+ plays, but everything GPF related gets a lot of plays. Their sex tapes have been played a lot of times. It's just so addictive. Still don't know how to describe them. They just make everything better. So, to make your boring Saturday even better, why not listen to this? I'll be doing this constantly, and will get aroused by the second. More and more. Anyway, who cares what I have to say? Let the music talk for itself. And if you don't like it, tough. Join the GPF hate club. A.k.a. the anti-ginger club. A.k.a. the anti-Matty club. Best record? 'Maren Kessel Tunnel Rave'. That's the one doing it for me now.

  • ATTLAS Electric Forest Mix [Exclusive] (2018)

    The last couple of days I kind of had enough of the harder stuff. I wanted something to ease my mind, and luckily, I can always rely on ATTLAS. This superstar producer/DJ's Soundcloud page is always the best place to find awesome music. If you want cinematic music (or whatever it is you call it), his page is full of it. So I visited his page, and found a mix he made especially for last year's Electric Forest. Completely missed it when it came out. This hour long masterpiece does get recognized by the listeners. It's received nearly 15k so far, and it will go only up and up. This kind of music always attracks a lot of fans, and people are enthusiastic whenever they spot an ATTLAS mix. I'm one of them: have played his previous mixes over and over again, and have reviewed each and every one of them (besides this one, until now). Someone kindly posted the tracklist on 1001tracklist.com, and it's not complete: if you know the missing songs, please inform me and I will update it. 01. Aparde - Lumen 02.

Rival Consoles - Hidden 12. ATTLAS - ID 13. DJ Koze - Seeing Aliens 14. ATTLAS - Want Obviously, being this unique DJ and producer, he started this mix with his cinematic approach. He makes the intro even worth while. Even though I don't know which films he has taken it from, but it just seems to work extremely well! This concept is so unique and outstanding: hence why there are a LOT of fans out there, loving ATTLAS. You know when a mix is going to be good when your first record is 'Lumen'. Fuck me, what a record. But the next one is even better, and I find that record the ULTIMATE record! If you want to be relaxed/chilled, press play and hear this record! This took me to another dimension. And made me teary. Such a 'simple' yet effective record. This makes you feel human again. I can't find a flaw. I never can. ATTLAS' mixes are always picture perfect. So no more wasting time, let's just embrace the mix, and be in heaven! Because that's what this mix does to you!

  • Technikore - End Of 2018 Mix

    I wanted to say that 2018 was Technikore's year, but I would be lying. Since he emerged onto the UK Hardcore scene, EVERY year has been Technikore's year. It's been an interesting few years for Technikore, if truth be told. I can remember going onto his website and downloading his HTID mix a long time ago, and now he's part of the well established order, leading the way towards a brighter future for us UK Hardcore lovers. And I'm proud to say that his 'EOY' mix is one you need to check out. It's a mix that does Technikore justice! I can't remember when I last downloaded a Technikore mix, but it wasn't that long ago: it contained a lot of these records you will find in his EOY mix. And I don't know what it is, but he is on FIRE! If you have been living in a cave and missed out on what this man has been releasing, you will be in for a shock! He's taking UK Hardcore to the next level, a level I really appreciate. It's focussed on two major styles: UK Hardcore and EDM. Cram them together, and you get what Technikore is making. And this nicely balanced music is just picture perfect! The tracklist is a thing of beauty. If you don't appreciate Technikore, please leave this Earth. But if you do, and you haven't checked this monster mix out yet, sit back and enjoy it, as much as I have! 01. Technikore & JTS - Careless 02. Technikore - 4AM 03. Nicholson feat Niki Mak - To The Flame (Technikore Remix) 04. Technikore & JTS - Holdin' On 05. Technikore - Arsonist 2018 06. Technikore feat Nathalie - Calling Out To You (Redux) 07.

Technikore feat Emi - Just Be 2.0 20. Darren Styles - Satellite (Technikore & JTS Remix) 21. Technikore feat Lindsey Marie - Nervous 22. Technikore - Magic 23. Technikore - Hyperspace 2018 Is it wrong of me to say that Technikore is part of the elite? Maybe even better than the elite. Yes, Darren Styles and Gammer are amazing, but Technikore rules. These two legends have got a different take on music, which many appreciate, but for me Technikore remains someone focussed on UK Hardcore. And I like that slightly more. And production wise he's on spot! In this mix he used records made by himself, and also a few collaborations with artists such as Ravine, Mike Reverie, JTS, Suae, and more. One re-occuring theme is vocals. He loves vocals, and so do we. Things also need to stay uplifting: no dark and nasty stuff, with irrelevant drops and basses so nasty, it will make me soil myself. The music he's making keeps me on my feet, and makes me rave even harder! I think that's his goal as a producer: keep everyone raving. And he does exactly that! This mix is short. Only 47 minutes long. So don't expect records to be played 4 or 5 minutes. Max 2 minutes. But within those 2 minutes you want to move furniture away, put the stroboscopes on, and create your own living room rave! Fucking hell, he keeps us entertained for those 47 minutes. He does it ALWAYS! I can only find one tiny thing wrong with it: the S3RL record. I've tried many times, but I can't seem to understand his music. Sorry S3RL, no fan of the cheese. Obviously I'm still going to give this 5 out of 5 stars. Why? Because this mix is EPIC, and so is everything that Technikore does. And what I'm about to say right now might cause a stir within the scene, but he's number 1. Move over everyone else, Technikore is number 1. If the Hardcore Heaven awards would take place this year, he would win every award! Best record? 'To The Flame'. Niki Mak's vocals are simply superb!

  • Alexander Norman - Pod Noodle Episode 2 (2019)

    Ravers, where have we all been? 6 months ago a new podcast series called Pod Noodle was released, and the fans went mental. It reaches nearly 20k plays on Soundcloud, and other places too (don't have iTunes or Spotify). And I think at the time my perspective was that it would be a monthly or bi-monthly thing. Didn't expect it to take half a year lol. But they are back, Ed and Gordon a.k.a. Alexander Norman. Their artist name sounds like an explorer's name, and in a way they are explorers: more about that later. Remember those classic podcasts? In which you would hear 2749 other artists pointing out who's podcast you are listening to? Well, this one is no exception, artists such as Gammer, Uncle Dugs, Breeze, 2 Bad Mice, and more, they will let you know what you are listening to. The younger generation might not have a clue why this is, but this little touch, I really like it. The early 2000s, it's all its fault. It was normal, and it should still be normal. Time for the tracklist. And seeing as it's all about Alexander, you will only get a tracklist filled with its name. Finger RSI, you are about to happen.... 01. Alexander Norman - Intro Mash Up 02. Ultrabeat - Pretty Green Eyes (Alexander Norman Remix) 03. Alexander Norman - Toys 04. Alexander Norman - Space Cube 05. Gammer & Whizzkid - Love You Every Day (Alexander Norman Remix) 06. Alexander Norman - Break The Rules 07. Darren Styles feat Andrea Britton - Show Me The Sunshine (Alexander Norman Flip) 08. Alexander Norman x Whizzkid - Need You 09. Alexander Norman - Kingdom 10. Alexander Norman - Frequency 11. Alexander Norman - King Cobra 12. Alexander Norman - Fight For Today 13. Alexander Norman - Watch My Bassline 14. Alexander Norman - Bass How Low? 15. Alexander Norman - Parade 16. Alexander Norman feat Ruth - Come United 17. Alexander Norman - Good Times 18. Alexander Norman - On Our Way They are different, aren't they? They are not your standard duo. But if I'm honest, I've not seen or hear a lot of UK Hardcore related mixes for a while now, don't know if it's slowly going down an unusual path? What I feel when I hear Alexander Norman is bouncy. Is it just me or is their main goal to get everyone bouncing up and down? And are their tracks also a tad focussed on the Bouncy Hardcore side of UK Hardcore? Is that what gets the kids going nowadays? If it is, I will feel old and young at the same time, because I like the bounce. Not the bounce bounce stuff, but this combination of UK Hardcore and bounce, that works for me. Towards the end you get a bit of waffle between Ed and Gordon. And how you can enter the competition. I'm not an MC, so there's no point for me entering. But also they talk about Guinea Pigs in Switzerland. That's awesome stuff. Anyway, the music is good. Bouncy. Happy. Which track made me happy the most? 'King Cobra'. Good and well written track. Love it! Sorry for the late reply, joined the band wagon a tad late, but as I said before, I'm not on iTunes or Spotify. I'm a Soundcloud abuser, only saw the podcast a few minutes ago! Anyway, let's see if we can get it to the number 1 position on Soundcloud. It's worth a go.

I can talk for hours, but it would only be positive. Go nothing negative to mention. Restrained has made this first podcast episode interesting, with shitloads of awesome records. But the best one, without a shadow of a doubt, is Nosferatu's 'Sanctity Of Space: Cassini's Journey'. It was voted as the Nr. 1 Bombshell, and for a bloody good reason. Anything space related gets extra bonus points, and this one does tick off all the boxes. Epic record by Nosferatu. Check this out right now! Don't waste your time doing nothing: make it worth while!

  • Casketkrusher - Ouwe Stijl is Botergeil Promo Mix (09 - 02 - 2019)

    You have probably seen the name of this event fly by every so often. Ouwe Stijl Is Botergeil. Old style is horny (butter horny). This event series focusses on the Early stuff, and not the new stuff. Why? Well, the older styles are butter horny. Over the years they have had sick line-ups, and some of these sets (which you can find on Soundcloud) are really exciting. The line-up for this year's event is a good one: Lenny Dee, Placid K, Re-charge, Faniac, Delta 9, The Enforcer, Casketkrusher, and more. And guess who made a promo mix for this event? Correct, it's none other than Casketkrusher! You never need to look far to find beautiful mixes. Especially when Casketkrusher made them. He's a genius. I love his own production mixes a lot, and his set from OSIB a few years ago remains one of my all-time favourite sets, but I do also appreciate mixes like the one you are about to press play on. Don't ask me how he finds these rare records, but I've got this inclination that he spends a lot of Euros on these records. For example: check this tracklist out, and see how many of these records you know, and how many you don't know. There's a lot of unknowns in this mix. But is it worth it? Is this mix good enough to persuade people to get tickets and go ape? Well, I think a tracklist is needed, and I will let you know after if you should get ticket (hint: you should). 01. The Prophet - Dominatin' (Re-mix) 02. DJ Jordens - E.I.N.O.E.L. 03. Vulcanizer - Drop The Bass 04. Technological Terror Crew - 7 Motherfuckas 05. Brothers In Crime - Let Me Suck Your .... 06. DJ Waxweazle - I Like This World 07. Stingray - Power Of Darkness 08. Hyperact - Technotrance v's M.C. XXX (G.T. Sampler Mix) 09. Technological Terror Crew - Where Angels Fear To Tread (Remix) 10. Sonicdriver - Lethal Breaks 11. The Scotchman - Life Force 12. Creepozoids - Bring The Noize (Remix #69) 13. Dr. Mindfuck - Ooink! 14. Mutoid - The Necronomicon (Buzz Fuzz Mix) 15. DJ Waxweazle - Brainscan (In For The Kill Mix) 16. DJ Waxweazle - Brainscan 17. Lenny Dee - Let Ya Feet Stomp 18. Lockjaw - Smoke Diz One 19. Bertocucci Feranzano & Tony Salmonelli - Class Axion - Take 2 20. The Scotchman - Mind Transfer 21. George Vagas meets Mike D - Hyperdome (Heavens Version) Oh my days! This is really tantalizing! Really astonishing, it has to be said! How does Casketkrusher find these anthems? And how come these are NOT played as much as they should? Is it because people are just forgetful, or cannot handle these raw beats anymore? Whatever the reason, it's dumb. You should hear these more often, these are classic anthems. And they have stood the test of time. Currently I'm bouncing my ass off here in London. Listening to some oldskool Hardcore. I do miss this atmosphere here, they should organise parties focussed on this music over here. But I can't seem to find them. Or it's cheesy music, or it's Jungle/DnB focussed Hardcore. And sometimes you just want to go all Dutch. Yes, there are a few Scottish and American producers in here, but the gist is still Dutch. Anyway, Casketkrusher's mix. It's great. And it's an eyeopener. You should get tickets for this event, just to see and hear this legend. Why not search on Soundcloud for his liveset from a previous OSIB event? That set is a beast. And if he's going to play like he did back then, you will be in for a ride of a lifetime. Tickets are only €20.05 (why the five cents???) and you can get all of this and more Early Hardcore sounds. There's no reason why you shouldn't go. Give me one good reason! Best record in this set? 'Hyperdome'. Not heard this one for at LEAST 10 years. But I forgot how great this record was.

  • Bailey 'Back to 96' Mix - History Session Promo Mix (Studio Recorded) (2015)

    I seriously can't remember if I'd already reviewed this back in 2015 or 2016. But this mix does appear as if I'd already seen it, heard it, reviewed it. But simply can't access my old folders, so there's no point. Let's focus on it once again. It's one of those mixes you need to hear at least once in your lifetime, and if you are lucky, listen to it at least once a month. 24k+ already did, and they all seem to like this mix. Can't argue with that, to be fair. It's one sick mix! Back in 2015 Metalheadz organised a party called 'History Session' at Phonox. Don't know how the event was, but if it was all focussed on the early DnB stuff, you must have experienced a majestic night! For those who didn't go, let's focus on the mix, made by Bailey, a player from Blue Note. For this mix he selected the bad boy year of 1996 and picked the tunes that dominated the DnB dancefloors all over the world. And if I can speak out loud, 1996 was a tremendous year for DnB. Just look at the selected records, it will make your mouth water. Dribbling will happen. The tracklist is a thing of beauty. So let's dive straight into it! 01. Goldie - Still Life (Photek Remix) 02. Dillinja - Deadly Deep Subs Remix 03. Decoder - Fuse 04. Adam F - Metropolis 05. B.L.I.M. - Jeamland (DJ Trace's Word) 06.

Dillinja - Armoured D 17. Hokusai - Black Rose 18. Skyscraper - Liberty One During the night you had several artists performing, and they were big names: Groorider, Randall, Lee, Bailey, Jubei, and of course the daddy of the lot: Goldie. Wish I'd gone to this event, but hey, at least we've got this wonderful mix. Bailey has done really a great job. These records have stood the test of time, and have become timeless (see what I did there? a DnB/Metalheadz reference joke). This hour and 10 minute long mix is really my thing. The thing with DnB is the fact that it takes you on this energetic journey, and time does fly by so darn fast: the notion of things happening around you fades away. You are in this unknown territory, and it won't let you go. This mix has been intoxicating from the very first moment. I had to press play again, and enjoy it over and over. I can't control myself. This is just heavenly music. Music given to us by the Gods. Only credit for this mix. Love, for an hour and 10 minutes. Bailey, you are a hero.

  • Mr. VaNuXxX - MixXx 100 % Vinyls " Early Hardcore Vol.1 " (1995-2000) (2012)

    It's been a good day. A hospital visit at the start, and after that I was allowed to work from home. And the first thing you do, is sit behind your computer and put the volume to 10. Or whatever the max is on your speakers. But to achieve the state of bliss, you need good music. And today, seeing as it has been a Friday, you need some Hardcore. Some good ol' frigging Hardcore from the glorious days. So Soundcloud, my mate, assisted me in the best way possible. I came across this French mix by Mr. vanux. Never heard of him or her before, but the thing that got me interested was the tracklist. And in particular one record, but we'll talk about that later. This was record for a radio show called 'Retro Is Not Dead', back in 2012. And the tracklist is a thing of beauty. Maybe two weird looking tracks, but the general gist is really good.

(2nd Mix) I forgive the DJ for adding a bad tracklist to this mix (there were a few big mistakes, some so bad I had to face slap myself). And I'm not 100% sure about track number 5: this definately does NOT sound like DJ Promo. He's made some cheesy stuff, but this isn't anything made by him. But I need to correct myself: a quick Google search lead me to this track, and it's definately made by Promo. I do apologize. Jumped to conclusion too quickly. Anyway, I've been a nob, so let's focus on the music. The tracklist shows promising records, including one of my favourite ones, made by the underrated Army of Darkness! 'This Is The Future'. What a classic anthem and a half! Haven't heard this in a while, and when I spotted this, it made the hairs at the back of my neck stand up! That legendary voice saying 'six hundred and sixty six...'. Scary is an understatement. This mix by vanux is nice. Not really tight as it should be, but it's enjoyable. It's got 'Frozen' in it (which is a huge disappointment), but at least it's got 'Frequencies', ' Necronomicon', ' This Is The Future' and more. I wouldn't mind pressing play again.

  • Painbringer - Hellbound 10-11-12 Early Hardcore Mix

    If you grew up in the 90s, Hellbound was the one thing we always listened to. This rougher sounding Hardcore was just our cup of tea, and sometimes it was all that could please us. And funnily enough, the haters of Hardcore said it wouldn't last long, but it clearly did! Back in 2012 they organised this demonic event, and the line-up was sickening! Painbringer (who made this promo mix), Leviathan, Laurent Ho, Delta 9, Mindustries, Lowroller, Synapse, Omkara, Nosferatu, Ophidian, and so many more. It's an unbelievable line-up, but fucking hell, we are nearly 7 years too late to get excited for this. Ah hell, that's a bummer. But at least we've got Painbringer's promo mix, eh? And it's a good one. If you love the early stuff. If you are a hater, join the queue, but don't bother us, eh? Anyhow, let's focus on this promo mix. 45 minutes of early stuff, and a few of Painbringer's own productions, what can go wrong? Nothing much. At least it's filled with underrated and mostly forgotten tunes. So that's a thumbs up from TCD, if truth be told. You will have a great time listening to this! Disappointment? Nah, not present. 01. Holographic - Androigyn 02. Painbringer - True 03. Chosen Few - Revenge 04. Nordcore GMBH - Nordcore Attack 05. Reyes - New Jam 06. Omar Santana - Noise Dive 07. Painbringer - Words Of '95 08.

Boy, have not seen these names in YEARS! And I'm not lying at all. Thanks Painbringer for the reliving of the moment. And also by adding a few new records of yourself! I love that there are a handful of artists out there, still keeping the sound alive. Painbringer is one of them. Of course his biggest hit 'Words Of '95' had to be included in this mix, and it won't disappoint you. But the whole mix in general has not been something unpleasant to hear. It's been a trip down memory lane. And I reckon those who went to Hellbound now get flashbacks to when they danced on the dancefloor when Painbringer was given his all. I've got only credit for this lovely mix! Oldskool, just the way I like it!

  • Giuseppe Ottaviani Vinyl Producer Set (2019)

    Giuseppe Ottaviani, a legendary name in the Trance scene. Someone who really doesn't need to be introduced. If you are a fan of Trance music, you are already following him on all social media platforms, and are a fanatic on Souncloud. You are probably (like myself) fully into his music and listen to as much as you can. And you also get excited whenever he releases something new and exciting, like he did 4 days ago. A vinyl set? All Giuseppe records? Oh yeah baby! Now that's sexy. It's like Christmas has come early (or late, depending if you are a half full or half empty person). In this vinyl only set he has selected a lot of wicked records. But I'm not sure if these are recently made: it sounds like these were the early works of Guiseppe. Whenever it was made, it was made with love and passion, and you can hear it throughout the set. So much Trancy feelings, you cannot hate this mix. It's an hour and 14 minutes long, and Giuseppe, the genius he is, makes sure you are fully intoxicated by it. Trust me, this will brighten up your day! 01. Giuseppe Ottaviani - White Lady 02. Giuseppe Ottaviani - Clambake 03. Giuseppe Ottaviani & Santiago Nino - Beyond Your Thoughts 04. Paul van Dyk & Giuseppe Ottaviani - La Dolce Vita 05. Giuseppe Ottaviani & Marc Van Linden - Until Monday 06. Giuseppe Ottaviani feat Stephen Pickup - No More Alone 07. Giuseppe Ottaviani & John O'Callaghan - Our Dimension 08. Paul van Dyk & Giuseppe Ottaviani - Far Away 09. Giuseppe Ottaviani - Through Your Eyes 10. Giuseppe Ottaviani - Linking People [Encore] Thomas Bronzwear - Close Horizon (Giuseppe Ottaviani Remix) Look at this. If you think this is too much Giuseppe Ottaviani, please leave this website, and whilst doing that, maybe leave this planet? Just a suggestion. Who doesn't love this Italian superstar? There's simply nothing to hate. Nothing. And this set also shows us the path he's been walking, and the fantastic future ahead (for all of us). Giuseppe, a legend! I really enjoyed this set. It's nice, calm, and becomes very much emotional when you want it to be. The power of Trance has no limits, and this showcase mix is just picture perfect. What makes it perfect is the way the music flows: there's no mistake throughout this set, and the flow is continuous. And THAT is what I want to hear. No sudden stop or judder when mixing vinyl records. Giuseppe is the master of the turntables. Which record is the best? Well, we can start a debate, but it's pointless. It's futile. Why? Because the best record is 'Through Your Eyes'. Simple. You can disagree, but your opinion isn't valid. The tremendous build up, you don't get that anymore. This record is really something unique, and stands out from the rest of the mix. What can I say? It's yet another smashing mix by this legendary producer. Go and check it out NOW!

  • DJ ChexMixer - Album Mix 8 (Alex Prospect - Dedicated) (2017)

    Am I the only one who sometimes wakes up and wants to hear a specific artist the whole day? The other day I felt the urge to hear something very happy (maybe sometimes a tad cheesy) and exciting, and in a weird way I started to have a craving for Alex Prospect. I wanted to hear his last album 'Dedicated', so I went on the hunt and came across this mix by ChexMixer on Soundcloud. You can imagine my state of happiness after hearing this. Before you get all angry and start trolling me, I do have the album. But it's on my home PC and at the time I needed to hear it, I was at work. So it was kind of complicated: couldn't go to my boss and say that I needed to go home to get an album. I would have been shot. So Soundcloud is always my friend in time of need. DJ ChexMixer's set is, as you would have guessed, an album showcase mix. According to the info this is the 8th so far. Haven't found the time yet to check the others, I wanted to hear only Alex Prospect. Does that make me a fanboy? Or just a huge douchebag? Whatever I am, I am dedicated (see what I did there?). It's a short mix. Which is slightly disappointing. Could have been much longer. But it still contains mr. Prospect's records, so I cannot complain! 01. Alex Prospect x Becci - All The Things 02. Alex Prospect x Klubfiller - True Feelings 03. Alex Prospect x Jack Ambrose - Closer 04. Alex Prospect x Joey Riot - Move Your Body 05. Alex Prospect x Gammer - Bad Bitch 06. Alex Prospect x Mark Breeze - Trvp Lyfe 07. Alex Prospect - Cameras, Action & Lights 08. Alex Prospect - Colours 09. Alex Prospect x Callum Higby x Rhezie - Watch Me Run 10. Alex Prospect - All Falls Down 11. Alex Prospect - Calypso 12. Alex Prospect x Darren Styles - Rock Right Now 13. Alex Prospect - I Don't Blame You I think I mentioned it in the original review, but if you've got artists such as Mark Breeze, Gammer, Joey Riot, Klubfiller, and the mighty Darren Styles, collaborating with you, you know you are the bees knees! Fuck me, that's impressive. But what's more impressive is the quality of the anthems! When you have a craving, always fullfill your needs. And when I did, I wanted more. So I kept pressing play over and over. This has dominated my working day completely. Sadly no-one in the office agrees with my musical choice (Hardcore, isn't that just boom boom boom?). So headphones were required, and they made working lush. Thanks Alex, for making my working day even better! This mix is a belter. It contains the records I needed. So damn good. But which one is just the best? To this question there's only one answer: 'Colours'. Such a happy vibes tune. The vocals are truly astonishing. And so goddamn uplifting! His finest record. ChexMixer's dedicated mix turns out to be really interesting. Worth a listen!

  • Angerfist Live @ Creed Of Chaos (02-12-2017)

    When Angerfist does something, he does it well. This Hardcore mastermind knows how to get the Hardcore masses all together at the AFAS in Amsterdam, and throw a wicked party for his latest album, which was obviously called 'Creed Of Chaos'. Not only was Angerfist there (would be slightly unusual if he wasn't!), he had a few friends there: Miss K8, Partyraiser, Denekamps Gespuis, Mad Dog, Drokz, Furyan, I:Gor, D-Fence, Le Bask, Akira, Crucifier, and MC Nolz. A nice selection of artists, if truth be told. Angerfist obviously recorded a few sets, including his own. And during his set, he showed the raving massive what they could expect to hear on his newest album. The event was packed solid: no tickets could be purchased due to it being sold out completely. There was no room whatsoever. Ravers everywhere. And it shows that Angerfist is number 1 in the scene. This masked hero, this legendary producer, has done it again. This liveset is such a bliss, and it contains wicked fucking anthems. Maybe I shall purchase his album, shall it? I've already got all the others, but simply forgot this one. Anyway, it has already been listened to nearly 28k times, but no-one posted the tracklist on Soundcloud, I had to do a quick search, but that wasn't difficult, so here's the tracklist: 01. Angerfist - Send Me To Hell 02. Angerfist - Taking Charge 03. Angerfist & T-Junction - F@cking With Yo Head (Broken Minds Remix) 04. Angerfist - Black Hole 05. Angerfist - Wise Guy 06. Angerfist & DJ Mad Dog - From The Ashes 07. Angerfist - Boomstick 08. Angerfist & Ophidian - Nothing Is Real 09. Angerfist - The Law 10. Angerfist - Overdose Music 11. Angerfist - Crusader 12. Angerfist feat Syco - Bassline Abuser 13. Angerfist & Outblast feat MC Tha Watcher - Die Hard 14. Angerfist - Brainfall 15. Angerfist - Buckle Up And Kill (Luxxer Remix) 16. Angerfist & Radical Redemption - Day Of Reckoning 17. Angerfist feat MC Nolz - Creed Of Chaos If you were looking to get an Angerfist overdose, you have not to look any further! This set is only 45 minutes long, but within those minutes you do get everything Angerfist related. A wicked album showcase set. But would you expect anything else from this mastermind? To 'met de deur in huis vallen', the MC is not a contribution of the set. But I think I've said that before many of times. Maybe it's different when you are there, but sitting here it just sounds like he's just screaming constantly, even when it's not needed. Never understood why Angerfist needed an MC. When it comes to the actual set, the records are again spot on. This genius knows how to keep Hardcore interesting. He obviously is influences by other styles, and you can hear it very clear in each and every record. But, as always, which record is my favourite? It has to be said, it's the name of the album's song 'Creed Of Chaos'. The last record. And what a record to end your set with! This showcase set was only 45 minutes long. He could have had longer. Don't know why he only had 45 minutes. But within those minutes he penetrates your skull and leaves you strangled and multilated (see what I did there). He has got this gift to keep the fans intoxicated, every second of his set. The world owes a lot to Angerfist. And that's why he's number 1 every year! No-one can top this legend.

  • Turn Up The Bass & House Classics Mix

    Today, at work, I wanted to hear some oldskool House tunes. And for me during the 90s, the only compilation that mattered was Turn Up The Bass. Yes, House Party was great, but not as good as TUTB. So a quick Soundcloud search for something related to TUTB (I was hoping the albums would be on there), but I found something else! A mix by Arjan van der Paauw. By judging his name he looks kind of Dutch, like myself. So he probably also grew up with this majestic compilation. His mix is a mix and mash. You get the classics, the ones we all love, and a bit more. It's a megamix: 58 records in 58 minutes. So don't expect to throw a House Party which will last for hours: this party only lasts for 58 minutes. But those 58 minutes are so glorious. This music is much better than everything produced nowadays. This is timeless music. And Arjan did pick a nice selection of records. Finger licking good! If you weren't born after 2000, this tracklist will be much appreciated by yourself! 01. TKA - Crash 02. Technotronic - Get Up 03. Studio X - Los Kings Del Mambo 04. Mixmasters - In The Mix 05. Armando - 100% Of Dissin' You (Acc) 06. 2 In A Room - Wiggle It 07. 20 Fingers - Short Dick Men 08. Mr Lee - Get Busy 09. The Beatmasters - Hey DJ 10.

Duke - So In Love Now that's a tracklist I wasn't expecting! So many 90s classics in here! Sweet Lord, this is really interesting. A trip back into memory lane. When TCD was a young lad, dancing in his bedroom with his My First Sony walkman. Yep, that's me. I was young, but I loved this music. This is what made me a huge music lover. And can you disagree: this music is so damn powerful. Play it in front of any crowd, and everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE will love these tunes. Whoever this person is who made this mix, credits to him. He has made my day slightly more interesting. Just to see these anthems in one mix is just astonishing! Some are obviously well know, but also a lot I've completely forgotten about! It's time for me to sit down, go into my TUTB folder and start going through them all! It's not an easy task to pick a favorite, when the whole mix contains only dancefloor slammers of the 90s. But seeing as I am a raver (in hart en nieren) I've selected Moby's 'Go'. A true timeless masterpiece. Some tracks are just a bit meh, a bit cheesy (like 20 Fingers records), but it suits the era. It was the time of people experimenting. So I can't blame Arjan for choosing them. Do you want a proper trip down memory lane? Look no further!

  • Supremacy 2015 | Delete VIP

    I've missed so many parties! Why this statement, you might be wondering? Well, that's because of the fact that I found this set on Soundcloud today, during an extremely crappy day. I wasn't having the best day, and felt in need of something powerful. Something that could uplift me. I could listen to all pop music, but that would make me suicidal. Uplifting to me means music that takes me to a higher atmosphere, a unique level only visited by die-hard Hard Dance lovers. Not the fakes: they will fall down flat on their asses. Only the die-hard fans will know what I'm talking about. Soundcloud offered me Delete's set, recorded at Supremacy 2015. Not only was it Delete, but it was an exclusive premiere of Delete VIP. Don't really know much about Delete or his VIP music, but it's still raw and rough, and that's uplifting enough for me. This Australian producer had the honor to present his music to the mad Supremacy fanatics, and they loved it. And after hearing it, I could count myself in. Not sure if I've actually heard this set before. It does ring a bell, but I'm not sure. Time for the tracklist. Someone was so kind to upload it on Soundcloud. Thank you sir! 01. Delete - Dismissed Again 02. Deetox - Still Here (Delete Remix) 03. Delete - Emergency VIP 04. Delete - Ghetto VIP 05. Delete - Level VIP 06. Jack Of Sound & Delete - Heavy Damage 07.

Delete - Corruption VIP w/ Delete - The Curse 13. Delete & Warface - The Baddest VIP This is disgustingly beautiful! Raw as it can get. The thousands of plays so far show peoples dedication of spreading the music, and his set is just pure filth! I've soiled my underwear, listening to this mix. Such a filth, on a different level! And THAT'S the level I was looking for! The set was only 31 minutes long. That's disappointing. But the end result is 30 minutes of smashing your head against the wall (of sound), and having your eardrums pierced with continuous filth and anxiety. You cannot control your body when you hear these VIP versions of his already famous records. For me it was an introduction: seen his name in mixes, but never a full-on Delete mix. There's a small mixing error (track starts to skip), but Delete quickly turned it around. He doesn't fuck about, and makes sure you do get what you paid your well earned money for. You will not easily forget this set. I've got no complaints. This has made my miserable day slightly better. I need more of this: I will go on the hunt for more. Maybe more Delete, who knows?

  • M-Project - Mix @ Polyphonix Countdown 2018 - 2019

    New year, new mixes pouring in. And today it's all about the mysterious masked hero, M-Project. Since he first appeared on my timeline he's been a mystery to me. I've always tried to figure out who the man is behind the mask, but he has hidden it so well, I don't even think he knows who he is without the mask. M-Project 24/7. Anyway, before I start loosing the plot (like I always do), let's talk about his latest mix on Soundcloud! This mix was (if I'm correct) a liveset, recorded at Polyphonix Countdown 2018 - 2019, at Face Shinjuku, in Tokyo. I could be completely wrong, but I had to translate the original website. Half of it was written in English and the other half in Japanese. I tried translating the page, which made it a bit of a mess. At first I thought it was an online broadcasted thing, but I think it's a real thing in a real club? Anyone who has been, please confirm?! His set took half an hour, and within those 31 minutes he showed me that he's still the King of Powerstomp. Not many producers do keep it alive and kicking, and yet M-Project never seems to stop or surrender to the peer pressure. He does what he does best, which resulted in an extremely tasty set! A set you should check out! 01. Scott Brown & M-Project - The Revolution (VIP Mix) 02. Instigate - Powerstorm 03. M-Project & Mitomoro - Starshine 04. Plus System - Commence (Synthwulf Remix) 05. Vau Boy & M-Project - Toy Shop 06. JOYRYDE & Skrillex - AGEN WIDA (M-Project Flip) 07. RIOT - Overkill (M-Project Flip) 08. PSYQUI feat Such - Your Voice So ... (M-Project Remix) 09. Minus The Crown - Live For That Energy (2018 Mixdown) 10. Scott Brown & M-Project feat Krystal - The Spark 11. Joey Riot vs Kenny & Caz - The Time Is Now 12. Paul Elstak - Luv U More (Tweekacore x Gammer Flip) See, I told you the tracklist looks interesting, and now you should press play and start absorbing the music, the way it was intended. I can not express my happiness when I discovered this mix. I am always delighted to hear anything by this Japanese superstar, and with this he delivers the goods. The result is a wicked mix, which has brought a smile on my face. Obviously he had to add a few of his own productions in here, including the massive tracks he did with the legendary Scottish UK Hardcore King Scott Brown. But not only that, he also included tracks by several big stars from all the globe. The only negative thing I could find was the fact that he used 'Luv U More' in his set. Maybe the ravers do appreciate this track, but I'm really getting sick and annoyed about the Tweekacore guys. It's not my cup of tea, and quite frankly, rubbish. But that's just me. I'd rather listen to Susan Boyle on repeat for 24 hours. All the other 11 records are amazing. No word of a lie. M-Project knows how to please the fans. But which record did the most to me? I do love 'The Revolution', but the original mix is the best for me. But 'Commence' is just such a dancefloor anthem, remixed by Synthwulf. That's the one for me! Check out this superstar's set, and let this take over your Sunday. You have deserved it!

  • Smith & Brown - EOYM 2018

    Smith and Brown, the discovery of 2018. Or was it 2017? Well, whenever it happened, it was a discovery. When I heard their 'Last Landing' record for the first time, it blew me away! This fresh sounding Tech Trance record has such a depth to it, and it was exactly what I needed to hear. And these two legends have uploaded a nice NYE gift for us: a 3 hour and 20 minute long EOYM. And if you are too old to figure out what that stands for: End Of Year Mix. In this mix you can find a few own productions, a bootleg, and a lot of other amazing sounding records by well established names such as Project 8, Scot Project, Sneijder, John O'Callaghan, Sied van Riel, Will Rees and more. The other day I reviewed DJ RAM's yearmix, and it was good, but sometimes you just want to go all out, and listen to darker Trance music. And Tech Trance delivers all the goods. This mix might seem long, but before you know it, you have listened to it completely, and it starts again (unless you haven't ticked the 'repeat' button on Soundcloud). But it's a must-listen to mix. Trust TCD, we are always right! 01. Maarten De Jong - Cast Iron 02. Alex Di Stefano - My Shadow 03. Sied van Riel - Atomic Blonde 04. Marco V - Switchim (HP Source Remix) 05.

True Tech Trance (and let's not forget the Trance lovers) lovers will adore this mix. It's a thing of beauty. And as I mentioned before, time does fly by once you pressed the magical 'play' button. These two legends know how to make music sound much better, and this mix had to contain at least a few of their own productions. And they got that covered. It's nice to see that they get the recognition they deserve. Since 'Last Landing' they've had releases all over the place and they gain fans every day! Smith and Brown, a duo you need to look out for. Or in this case, don't, because you've got their mix right in front of you. Which record was the best in their EOYM? I had 38 records to choose from, and it wasn't easy at all! But the one that got stuck in my head the most is Alex Di Stefano's 'My Shadow'. What a wicked anthem! I've got to give Smith and Brown credits again for yet another awesome mix. Keep up the good work lads, keep up working on your excellent and mysteriously sounding Tech Trance. It's much appreciated. TCD loves it!

  • Caine @ Defqon.1 2016 Indigo

    The other day something magical happened: someone from the Hardstyle scene started following me on Twitter. None other than the most Scottish looking DJ called Caine! Truth be told, I had to look up some info about this bearded warrior. I've seen his name before (it did ring a bell) but not really sure what his back story was/is. Turns out he's much younger than me (nearly 9 years younger), but it's the beard that makes him look 48. Anyway, this bearded Rawstyle fanatic started following me (maybe it's got something to do with GPF?) and I got excited! Why? Well, I have seen his name before and knew of his existence, but never actually reviewed a set by him. So I thought 'let's visit my old friend Soundcloud and see if it has something for me I can talk about'. And there it was. Among other stuff on it, a liveset! With a tracklist! Now that blew me away, and my excitement level did rise to an unusual high. And it became idiotic after hearing the set the first time! I've never had the chance to go to Defqon.1 due to my illness and work, but it does have a reputation. If you play there, you have made it. You play in front of the hardest crowd in the world. And truth be told: the Dutch know how to party. But so do the Scottish, so to ask Caine to play at Defqon.1 in 2016 was an obvious choice. And the crowd seemed to love it! You hear them throughout the set. Anyway, tracklist time! 01. Caine - Prepare For Glory (Defqon.1 Edit) (feat a Fuck tonne of Flanger) 02. Caine - Saviour 03. Caine - Product Of Environment 04. Caine & Chimera - Face Us 05. Caine & Deimos - Anguish (2016 Edit) 06. Caine & Deimos - Together 07. Unresolved - House Of Caine (Fuck U Ihor Edit) 08. The Masochist & Chosen Few - More Drugz? (Caine Remix) (More Kickz Edit) 09. Caine - Blow U 2 Pieces 10. Apexx - Insanity 11. Chris One & Caine - Eden 12. Caine - There Will Be Blood 13. Apexx & Caine - Sweaty Baws 14. Psyched & Caine - Dead Men Walking 15. Caine - A Phat Beat! (A Phat Swedge Edit) 16. Caine - Let's Get Pillz 17. Caine - Part Of The Game 18. Caine & Deimos - The Black Sacrament 19. Apexx & Jason Payne - Life's A Bitch 20. Caine - Abomination This is my full introduction into this bearded mystery DJ's world. He looks genuinely like he escape from a very cool and dope post nuclear world- PS4 game. And his music sounds exactly like that! It's raw to the bone, and it does give me one too! (a boner of course). But before we start getting hyped up, let's talk about the music, and not my General's status (General = my genital). The music is intoxicating. It's really refreshing! I don't know what it is with Rawstyle, but it grabs me and doesn't let me go. It makes me hyped up to such a point: if I'm driving, I will generally start driving ridiculously fast and start flashing everyone. It makes my nipples erect, but that's my problem. My parents would say this is aggressive music, and they have got a point. Normally I'm not an aggressive person, but this makes me aggo. And happy at the same time. But there's a huge disappointment with Caine's set. The stupid 'Defqon.1' jingles. Don't know how they creeped up, but they did not align with the music whatsoever. And it kind of annoyed me. The music is great, and it keeps my heart's BPM high, but hearing 'Defqon.1' randomly is just a tad weird. And the person with the mic in his hand... should know when to stay quiet and let Caine's music do the talking! Best record? Oh, there were so many. But the level of darkness like I've never heard of before, was reached during 'Product Of Environment'. The vocals just made the record excellent! I also liked the weird 'A Phat Beat!'. The Scottish have got a thing, their lingo is just so excellent. Wish I could speak it. It would make 'Trainspotting' much easier for me to understand. Anyway, besides the jingles being a pain in the arsehole, the set is wicked. Just what I needed to get me going through the weekend. I must and shall see Caine this year. I need some of his raw Hardstyle coming in my ears (well, that might sound wrong, but you know what I mean!).

  • Ophidian - 2018 Year Mix

    The Hardcore magician is back! Before we start talking about this year mix, let us all wish you a happy New Year. Hopefully 2019 will become a better year, but it's all down to us. But truth be told: if you have just woken up from your intoxicated state and pressed play on this Ophidian mix, you will have a fantastic 1st of January. And that's exactly what I have done. Why else am I awake at 10 o'clock? Maybe because I did not drink a single thing, besides cola? 2018 has been a good year for Hardcore music, and Ophidian had also a tremendous year. Throughout the year I have reviewed several Ophidian mixes, or mixes which included records by this mastermind. And for his year mix he has gone all out: it's only 36 minutes long, but he made sure you would get your Hardcore kick. A few new records, a few remixes of all-time classics made by Ophidian, and all carefully mixed together by the genius himself. Christmas 2019 has come early. Let me show you this fantastic tracklist. It's one you are really looking forward to, if you love Hardcore. If you do not, what the hell are you reading this review for? 01. The Outside Agency & Ophidian - Church Of The Silence 02. Ophidian - Only One 03. Ophidian - Lynched (Tymon Remix) 04. Ophidian - Dear Air 05. Ophidian & Ruffneck - So Many Sacrifices (Rapture Remix) 06. Ophidian - The Chosen (Decipher Remix) 07. The Outside Agency & Ophidian - The Return Of The Silence 08. Ophidian - Crime Passionnel (Miss Hysteria Remix) 09. Ophidian & Ruffneck - So Many Sacrifices (NeoX Remix) 10. Nosferatu & Ophidian - Eyes Closed To The Dark 11. Ophidian - The 909 Track 12. Avengers - Endgame Trailer (Ophidian Remix) If you are an upcoming DJ, let me give you one piece of advise: always use Ophidian records. These are highly anticipated and always are made of high quality. And of course Ophidian would use his own records, wouldn't you? But as a tip, you will grab people's attention when you use his records. Fuck me sideways. He used the Avengers - Endgame Trailer as his last track! How awesome is that? And he made that trailer his own! He should write trailer music (not for trailer people of course). But again, fuck me sideways, this is pure filth. And I adore the Avengers, so this has got to be the best record in this mix. Damn, why does it take so long before this film comes out? I've got absolutely no negative comments. This is yet another masterpiece by Ophidian. This man can not make or release something so bad. It's not in his nature. It's the gift that keeps on giving. And with this year mix he has given yet another excellent mix. Go and check it out right now!

  • Tony Tribe - Wheel It Up Vol. 1 (2018)

    The end of the year is emerging quickly, and why not end the year with an unusual mix? A kind of music I used to adore to the bone, but sadly grew out of it. Don't know why, but I do. 4x4 Bassline music, or just generally named Bassline, it used to be so extremely big. And the thousand mixtapes I downloaded, a testimony for my love and admiration for the sound. I don't even think that I have heard a Bassline mix in 2018. Or maybe I have, but forgotten all about it. Anyway, someone reposted a mix by Tony Tribe. I got intrigued and wanted to hear more. And boy, I didn't feel disappointed after. No joke, I felt happy, because this kind of music takes me back to the golden days of Bassline. As I said I used to download all the mixtapes by DJs such as EJ, Beez, Balistik, 1QY & F@Z, Cripster, Murkz, Freddo, Reflex, Teefy and more. Don't know what happened to half of them. But Tony Tribe's mix fits nicely in this list. The way its mixed and the records he has selected. Wow. It will make you smile. Let me show you the tracklist. If you are a 4x4 fan, you will feel a warm feeling on the inside. Don't resist it, let it happen to you. 01. Burgaboy - I Changed My Mind 02. Trakpot feat Kristi - Best Thing 03. Stats Man feat Rae Rae - Weak 04. Piddy Py - Deak Me All Night (Dark Like Wesley Snypez) 05. Subzero feat Sacha - Sweet Revenge 06. DJ Pantha - Badman Forward (Terror Dome Mix) 07. 24K - How You Like It 08. ADotR - Run Up The Dance VIP 09. Burgaboy feat Leon YT - How Would You Like It 10. Rebz - War VIP 11. Speedy - Fear Gonzales 12. Mr. Virgo - Hypnotic (USF Refix) 13. Burgaboy & Angie - Mortal Combat 14. 1QY & F@Z - Dr Pepper 15. Mr Figz - Headlock 16. Cheeksta - Baby (Caliber Remix) A few of these anthems I'm familiar with. Especially with Burgaboy's songs. To me he was the ultimate. Bass Boy was dope too, and DJ Pantha. But he ruled the dancefloor. And before you start harassing me, I could use a different way of expressing myself, but I'm the whitest person on God's given Earth, and it wouldn't suit me. Anyway, Tony's mix. Yeah, he used the classics. But also a few I've never heard of before. But that keeps it interesting. A few cross fading errors, but nothing too drastic. Which is my favourite? Well, sorry to say, but it's 'How Would You Like It', by Burgaboy feat Leon YT. This is one of those records that float in your head for such a long time. The lyrics are so extremely catchy. I loved the fact that Tony also used the jingles. That was a thing. Every mix from the golden years had jingles. Sometimes more jingles than actual records. Everyone talking through the records. I missed that a lot. It was sometimes a nuisance, but I liked it. Especially when you had an intro so damn long, it included everyone from the Bassline scene! The last review of 2018. So let's go out in style!

  • Thunderdome| 2018 Die Hard Year Mix | Mixed By: Jason S

    Jason S, what are you doing to us again? The megamix mastermind has returned with a brand spanking new Thunderdome mix, with the finest records from the past, present and future. To be precise: a hundred and one records. Yeah, when Jason S does it, he does it well. He doesn't fuck about. Towards the end of the mix he plays the newer stuff, and seeing as I've not heard these before,I hope it will be good. Thunderdome never disappoints. Neither does Jason S. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't he play at the last Thunderdome event? And people could vote for their favorite record? Or was that another artist? I think it was Jason S. And if that is indeed the case, you have to give the man credit: not only playing at Thunderdome, but also having your mixes shared on the official Thunderdome Facebook page. The last mix grabbed a lot of people's attention, and this new one has also done exactly that in a short period of time. So, the mix. Yes, it's a megamix. An hour long, with a hundred and one records in it. And those oldskool records, boy, seeing those appear in this list is just astonishing. I've got a thing for the older Thunderdome records, the classics. And I think the true die-hard fan has got the same feelings. Jason S, will this be your finest mix so far, your finest hour?

You've seen it here first (well, probably not to be fair). But what you have noticed is that this is a super extreme diverse tracklist. You have got literally everything mashed together, from the old to the new. Obviously, me being an oldskool gabber the older section appealed more to me, but I gave the newer stuff a go. The older, classics anthems are all awesome. Jason S' selection is without a doubt awesome. His mixing skills are through the roof, and has made this mix extremely interesting. Even after the 'Middle Chill' section it stays highly entertaining. But the newer section, does that appeal to yours truly? The answer is simple: no. I'm not feeling the Sefa vibes yet. At the moment I do not see him as the talented boy, the gifted one. Videos of him are shared in their thousands online, but I'm not feeling it. Before the third installment of the Die Hard collection was released, many disagreed with him being on the album. Well, that was a bit harsh, because everyone deserves a chance. But if I would have bought it, I would have left that disc aside. It doesn't do a single thing to me. Anyway, that's just my perspective. You might think he's the 'wunderkind'. Ah well. All the other records are awesome. But the older section still rules. No question about that. And I can't pick one favorite: they all rock. And what also rocks is Jason S' skills. Yet another amazing mix. Don't know how he's done it. The megamix man has returned!

  • RAM - EOYM 2018 Top 50

    I told you the other day that this is the time of year in which we are hearing and seeing a lot of 'end of year' mixes, and the second one I came across has been made by Trance legend DJ Ram. His EOYM is a thing of beauty: a 4 hour long mix, with 61 amazing Trance anthems. If Santa Claus could give us the ultimate gift, it's probably this one. Who does not want to hear a 4 hour long Trance mix during these dark and gloomy days? You might be thinking that it's quite hard to listen to a 4 hour long mix, and you are wrong. Today was the 'cleaning the house'-day. Which meant that I needed music to keep me occupied. And Ram's mix is just the perfect one to keep me going. I needed that a lot, and it made the time fly by. It did went by extremely quickly, and that's all down to the power of the music. Trance music, you can't go wrong with it, eh? It's the end of the year mix, so you will find a whole lot of amazing tracks which have been released/played during this wonderful year. And once you have seen the tracklist, it will literally put your mind at ease: the end of the year has emerged, and there's only one way to celebrate this year. In style! 01.

Sneijder - Decimate The good thing about this mix is not only its length, but also the fact that RAM has used a lot of records by known and upcoming names. Or maybe I have misinterpreted that : still don't know half of the producers. But hey, it's all about the music, and that's exactly what you get! It's been a good year, not just for Trance music, but for all styles. But Trance has seen a booming year, with excellent releases. And without a doubt, RAM's mix contains shitloads of them. He went all the way, and made this fantastic year mix. The four hours (as I said before) do fly by ridiculously fast. But that's not just because it's his mix, but it's because Trance music is so powerful, and can travel through space and time. Trance is the black hole of the music scene. It can uplift you, and take you somewhere else, without you even moving! Quality over quantity. Well, you get both. Some records were a bit less interesting. Can't name them, because I was not looking at the tracklist when the mix was playing, I was working (remember?). They were alright, but not exciting. But that's only a handful of records. I would say 91% of the records did kick ass. I can't pick a favorite. I simply can't. You can't pick at all! It's 4 hours long! So it's difficult. A generous mix. You won't find mixes this interesting today. Maybe tomorrow there will be one, but today RAM's mix is the one taking us to the next dimension.

  • Resonate 2018 - Hardcore Classics Megamix

    The Lethal Sound. Who has not heard of them before? Well, I haven't. I only stumbled across them today, after someone retweeted their mix from 2 months ago. It was for an event I'd not heard of either: Resonate. For any who are anticipating on going: you are too damn late. This party has already happened. So you might want to wait for next year's event. Until then you've got a wonderful and exciting Millennium Hardcore mix to listen to, longer than usual! What the Lethal Sound have done is mixed 68 records, all records from the golden and amazing years of Hardcore (which were between 2005 and 2011). So basically what you could expect at Resonate. So do not think these are records from the early days, but all Millennium Hardcore anthems. And we all want a bit of that. We all love this sound. Their mix is a megamix. And it's a silly one: a 3 hour and 13 minute long mix! This will get you through the day. And it does not get boring at all! What it does to me is reminisce to the golden age. And how I danced to all of them. I know each and every record. I am a Hardcore junkie. A proper one. So you can imagine my state when I saw and heard this mix. Thanks, Lethal Sound. 01.

So you can imagine what I've been doing, eh? Listening to this mix on repeat since 7 o'clock this morning. And it has been extremely good. The day has flown by so fast: can't even remember what the first thing was I did this morning! Anyway, The Lethal Sound. They've made a very good mix! A very interesting mix. One that made me moist to the core. This is exactly the kind of Hardcore I wanted to hear. Not everyone else in the house, they are all bored to the core. They hate Hardcore. Well, sod them! I loved their selection. And every time I press play, I find 'new' records as my favorites, and I can't pick. One second it's an Angerfist song, the next one it's a remix, or whatever. And it still remains highly entertaining. There are a few tiny cross fading issues. Nothing major. Even though I've not been to this event, I'm still enjoying this promo mix. And I think you all should do the same. Embrace the past, and make it into the new year with this slammer mix!

  • Mr Ripley - I Love Happy Hardcore & One Big Bash NYE '18-'19 Promo Mix

    I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. I know I had a brilliant one. And I know we are all still recovering from eating too damn much, and getting annoyed at the shitty presents we received (and obviously are ecstatic about the ones we really liked), and we just count down towards the end of the year. But if you are a fan of UK Hardcore and you want to go out raving during the end of the year, have you heard about this event in Milton Keynes? The actual party is a mouthful. The event is called 'I Love Happy Hardcore & One Big Bash NYE 2018'. And if you haven't clocked it yet, it's on Monday the 31st. Where? In Milton Keynes, Unit 9. They will take you into the new year with a bang. The lineup consists of acts like DJ Seduction, DJ Sy, DJ Vibes, DJ Billy Daniel Bunter, Mr Ripley, Topkat, and more. And for only a handful of pennies you get entry to a wicked event. And guess what? Jenna is performing there, live on stage, singing 'Heart Of Gold'! Why am I stating out the obvious? Just read the damn flyer! To get everyone hyped up, Mr Ripley has made a promo mix, 36 minutes long, containing true oldschool Hardcore classics. You will love this. It does contain the well known records and a few underground tracks I've not heard before. 01. Da Edge - Not Alone 02. Interstate - From The Underground 03. Project X - Mobotron 04. Ham - There's A Heaven 05. Stargazer - Ultimate High 06. Fade - Come With Me 07. Scott Brown - Return To Elysium 08. Bo & Luke - Angel 09. Dougal & Gammer - Kick The Nation 10. Uplift, Cris E Manic & Lukozade - Hard Jam 11. Eclipse - 24/7 12. Brisk & Ham feat MC Whizzkid - Crazy Love Did you spot the recognizable records? The dancefloor smashers? Those records which have dominated the dancefloors for many years? Yeah, I did too! But for a UK Hardcore lover I did spot a few records I have not heard before! Don't know how Mr Ripley got hold of these, but I'm thankful that he used them in his mix. And if you are going to this event (which I would advise you should) you can hear more of this kind of music. Just pointing out that I'm a huge Scott Brown fan, and have got a few of his albums, but none of them contained 'Return To Elysium'. How come I have missed that one, eh? Anyway, Mr Ripley's selection is awesome. It has made me feel very good on the inside. A very cheerful mix with Happy Hardcore tunes: what can go wrong? Well, nothing. It's also a free download, so that's an added bonus. The conclusion is that this mix is kind of epic, and should get you digging into your wallet to fetch your credit/debit card and order tickets for this event. And I know Mr Ripley's mix has the power to do so. So what are you waiting for? Oh, you are cooking Boxing Day food? You've got 3 minutes spare, you lazy sod! Get those tickets right NOW!

  • Slow Down, Pleasure Up (2002)

    This is one of those rare albums, not for sale, only available via promotional channels. And someone on Discogs pointed out to me how I did get this one: back in 2002 after raving the night away in the Amsterdam Rai at Innercity everyone leaving the building was given this CD. So it's not that rare: I reckon around 40,000 people must have been there. But it stands out for many reasons. Firstly it was ID&T and a cigarette manufacturer who released this album. In the present day that would not be happening. People smoking is a definite no-no... and on this album you see exactly that happening. Like I would mind: an ex-smoker/current vaper. Anyway, it's different. But also the music: a progressive House album. Don't have many of them. But no matter how you look at this album: it's a genuine masterpiece! The music on it has stood the test of time. According to the contributor on Discogs it was mixed by Ricky Rivaro. And it's a serious rollercoaster. A nice (and not forced) transition between each and every track. You can put this on in the background and enjoy it. And maybe have a cigarette (unless you don't smoke, and in that case you should NEVER smoke). Let's slow down and let the pleasure go up. CD 1 : Slow Down 01. Negrocan - Cadavez (Grant Nelson Vocal Remix) 02. Jon Cutler - It's Yours (Original Mix) 03. Michelle Weeks - The Light (Main Vocal Mix) 04. Lounge Conjunction - Feel It 05. Cleptomaniacs - All I Do (Original Cleptomaniacs Mix) 06. Hardsoul - La Pasion De Gozar 07. Negrocan - Aquela Esquina (Grant Nelson Club Mix) 08. Praful - Inspiracao (Hardsoul's Treatment) 09. 2 Elements feat Janna - Brazilian Nights (Dub Mix) 10. Simon Grey - One (Knee Deep Instrumental) 11. Dajae - Everyday Of My Life (Junior Jack Vocal Remix) 12. Gaspard - Good Enough (Vocal Mix) CD 2 : Pleasure Up 01. Richard Earnshaw - People Are People (Dub Mix) 02. UBP feat Bobby Pruitt - We Are One (Jazz 'N' Groove Hands Up Dub) 03. Sessomato - Moody (Original Mix) 04. Adani & Wolf - Take Me Back (Boatcrew Remix) 05. Una Mas - I Will Follow (Full Intention Club Mix) 06. BBT - God's Child (Original Mix) 07. Bob Sinclar - Save Our Souls (BT's Edit) 08. G-Club presents Banda Sonora - Guitarra G (G Club Original Mix) 09. Junior Jack - Thrill Me (Original Mix) 10. Prax Paris - Under The Shower (Original Mix) 11. Silicone Soul - Right On (Instrumental) 12. Jaimy & Kenny D - Keep On Touchin' Me (Original Mix) This is the kind of music that literally everyone can love. This isn't music that can be hated. I certainly know no-one who hates this. And I've played this many times over the years. 16 years old, still sounding excitingly fresh. Even my parents enjoy it. And that says something. It was given to me for free after Innercity (well, spent at least a grand in there on drinks and merchandising, which I have lost over the years sadly), and I'm still grateful for ID&T and Camel for this compilation. It's really a cheerful, happy and enjoyable. And it's got so many great and yet underrated records on it. I'm watching Clubland TV every day hoping I get to hear these gems, but sadly it's all shit they play. This is music given to us by God himself. Let's break the favorite record bit into two, seeing as there are two CDs. On the first the Cleptomaniacs record is truly gifted (a Stevie Wonder classic), but it's 'Good Enough' that makes me smile. Such a lounge anthem! I can close my eyes and picture myself in Korfu, Greece, sipping a nice cocktail whilst looking out towards the ocean, eating peanuts at the same time. So relaxing. Second CD. Come on, that's a no-brainer: 'People Are People', the song this CD starts with. So effective and highly enjoyable. I'm not looking out towards the ocean anymore, I'm dancing in a lounge club, whilst the lasers penetrate my eye lids and the foam is up my neck. Oh gosh, I love this anthem so much! A wonderful and relaxing CD. Whoever decided to make this compilation is a genius. If you can find a copy online, order it now! This won't be a disappointment.
