- Oldskool Johnny - Decade Of Early Hardcore (2023)
Another event on my list to visit before I die. But it's a bit far out, just to visit an event in Culemborg, the Netherlands. But it would be so worth it. It would take me a minimum of 7 hours to get there. What would I get in return? An awesome line-up, all dedicated to the early Hardcore sound. The event that took place last year, in September, had some big names. Delirium, Bass-D, Painbringer, Predator, Arjuna, Pavo, Waxweazle, Radium, Resonant Squad, Gabber Syndrome, and the man who's mix I've only found today: Oldskool Johnny. The reason I am now listening to this mix, is because I found his Ghosttown set from this year, and it did not have a tracklist, but the set was dope as fuck. So I scoured the internet and found this one on his Soundcloud page that came with a tracklist. That makes me happy, trust me when I saw that it does. I did love his Ghosttown set a lot, but now I've found one with a tracklist, so I'll share that one instead. I don't know much about this artist, but he has caught my attention. I'm guessing, based on his name, that he likes the oldskool/early stuff. And frankly, who doesn't? But he's one of those producers/DJs who are keeping the early sound alive, by producing new music in the style of the old. And you know I'm a sucker for that stuff. Give me that newskool oldskool sound any day! He did 65 minutes at Decade Of Early Hardcore, and played 24 records. And if you aren't sure who he is and what he can do, he's got your back: he's included a lot of his own productions in here, which are very sexy anthems. So what has this Oldskool Johnny for us in store? Oldskool Johnny - Bonzai (Remix) StormTrooper - Hoover Out X Fly - Suck Drops 220Bpm Junkie - Nightmare Oldskool Johnny - Bloodstring Dr. Zombie - Dracula (Remix) Oldskool Johnny - Long Distance Call Oldskool Johnny - My House Oldskool Johnny - Go To My Show Oldskool Johnny - With The Kicks Gabberhead & Corrat - Innocence Oldskool Johnny & Retro - Revolution (Original Mix) M-Project - Syntax Oldskool Johnny - Brain Insane Oldskool Johnny - Turn Back Time Retro - Emotion Control Biodome - Pump That Shit Up X Fly - Control Your Body Oldskool Johnny - Psychopath Arjuna - Go DJ Oldskool Johnny - Wildstyle 220Bpm Junkie - Drop The Fucking Beat Artiest Onbekend - Nummer 16 Hardnoiser - Walk In The Air (Gabberhead Remix) This has been an interesting journey. I've not heard of this artist before, but he has certainly gained my respect for keeping the early sound alive. He's that new kind of breed that keeps it alive, but does it extremely well. And I'm not the only one who responds extremely positive to this new batch of producers: his mixes get so many positive feedback/comments. I truly admire people who do things differently, and even though it reminds me of the 90s, it's still extremely refreshing to hear these new anthems. This newskool kind of Gabber I really like, and the hour has certainly flown by. He has captured the 90s sound beautifully, and it all goes bonkers when you hear 'Go To My Show'. My God, this is already an amazing record, but it's got the potential to become a classic, like most 90s records became. That's the kind of Hardcore I truly admire, adore, and fucking love. What a wicked journey, and I'm glad to have discovered a new artist. I will certainly keep my eyes and ears peeled for more, and so should you. This is insane. A fantastic set, and a name we will see more of in the future. If not, I will eat my baseball cap.

- MELVJE presents: DELETE (2022)
The other day I was listening to a set by Rooler, and one of the tracks in it, 'Mutants', made me want to look up more Delete stuff. I was aware of his unfortunate passing back in 2022, but what I wasn't aware of, was his huge catalogue! I never had the opportunity to fully discover his whole catalogue, but thankfully there are plenty of mixes online, commemorating the legacy he has left behind. And one of those mixes was made by MELVJE back in 2022, the year in which Delete passed away. Not only is his music legendary, but he has also played at the biggest events imaginable. Defqon.1, Intents Festival, Dance Valley, Ground Zero, Loudness, QAPITAL, Q-Base, Hard Bass, Dominator, and the list goes on. Quite an impressive list, but if you know the music he produced, you know he was the right person to be booked. I never had the opportunity to witness Delete, but it must have been a wicked set, wherever he played. His records are insane. Again, I knew a few records, but not ALL of them. MELVJE made this dedication mix, and it's 6 hours long! That's seriously impressive. After 3 hours I needed a quick break from listening, as my head was about to explode, but I only needed 10 minutes to come back to this mix, and finish the rest of it. It's the same as going to an event, right? You always need some time out, to come back and continue raving. This is an insane tracklist, and if you are a true Delete fan, you will know all of them. 1. Delete - Lunatic 2. Deetox & Delete - Unstoppable 3. Delete - Victorious 4. Delete - The Power 5.

Tha Watcher - Payback 137. Delete & The Outside Agency - Watching You 138. Deadly Guns & Delete - In Control This has been a tremendous journey through the amazing catalogue. Delete has released many songs on his own, but also alongside well established names in the scene. He was well loved by so many, and his unfortunate passing has left a mark on the scene. But his legacy remains ongoing, until eternity. We won't stop listening to Delete. It is a very long sitting, this mix. 6 hours. You need to find a slot in your daily life to sit through this, but it's worth it. The quality of the records is insane, and within the few years he was active in the scene, he has proven that he's capable of demolishing many speakers. My car speakers dislike this kind of music, and the door panels do tremble a lot. But my opinion is: if you don't like it, you should not have been a door panel. MELVJE has made a fitting tribute to a legendary artist, and I wish I had seen him. But at least we still have his music, and his music is really cool. So many favourites in this mix. There are 138 records, there's bound to be at least one you like. Probably more chance of you liking more than just one. To me, it's the one that follows me wherever I go. 'Mutants', remixed by Malice & Rooler. That track is one of the best records ever made. The original is cool, but this remix just hits all the spots. And it's undoubtfully one of the greatest songs ever made. Which one is your favourite? A fitting tribute to a legend. Worth checking out. R.I.P. Delete.

- Claxton - Quosh Classics Mix (2024)
It is Thursday, one day closer to the weekend. It has been hot throughout, and guess what? We are expecting rain this weekend! Of course. Throughout the week it's been hot, and the weekend lands, and we are to relax.. but oh no. Rain is going to spoil the fun. Ruin it for all of us. But I found something that might keep us warm, when we are sitting inside of our houses. Something powerful enough, to get us up from our chairs, and it might even make you dance. If you know Quosh, you know it's a huge label. Unfortunately due to circumstances, things changed, and we are left with a label that hasn't released anything for quite some time now. To be precise, 11 years ago. Back in 2013 the last release took place. The label has had some amazing releases over the years, and it's been influential to many upcoming producers, and have given us fans a lot to dance to. And they've given DJs the tunes that could turn a boring rave into a fantastic event. Claxton made this mix, dedicated to Quosh. And it's got a lot of awesome records in them. 35 to be precise. They have had more releases on this label, but these 35 are good enough to keep us entertained for 79 minutes, right? And we all love a bit of UKHC history. If you were old enough when these dominated the dancefloors all over the UK, consider yourself lucky. These were ace records, and still loved by many, decades after their release date. But which records did Claxton use for his mix? Sy & Demo - Devotion The Vampire - Teknostorm (Sharkey Remix) Paradise - See The Light (Sy & Unknown Remix) Dab Hands - Super Good (Sy & Unknown Remix) Sy & Unknown feat Lou Lou - Caught Up In Your Love 2007 Sy & Unknown feat Lou Lou - The Time Of Our Lives Sy & Unknown vs Grant Paterson - Only For You Sy & Unknown feat Lou Lou - Be With You Flip & Fill - Discoland (Sy & Unknown Remix) Trinity - Like The Sun (Sy & Unknown reMIX) Expression & GBH - Night Time (Sy & Unknown Remix) CLSM - Free Your Mind (Sy & Unknown Remix) Asa & S1 feat Lou Lou - Makin' Me Wanna Dance (Sy & Unknown Remix) DJ Kambel - No More Jokin' (Sy & Unknown Remix) Picco - It Goes On & On (Sy & Unknown Remix) Sy & Unknown feat Lou Lou - Right Here (Squad-E Remix) Sy & Unknown - Rockin' To The Music (Exclusive DJ Only Mix) Sy & Technikore - The Nerve Centre Insight feat Emily Reed - Digital Lover (Sy & Unknown Remix) Rampant DJs feat JT - Alabama (Sy & Unknown Remix) Sy & Unknown - My Forever Love Sy & Unknown - U R MY Phantasy (Darren Styles Remix) Sy & Unknown - If Thats Alright With You 2011 DJ Kurt - Rock Ya Hardcore Gammer - Let It Go Sy & Unknown feat Lou Lou - Don't Leave Me Now (Darren Styles Remix) Sy & Unknown feat Lou Lou - I Just Can't Get Enough Chris Unknown & Re-Con - If You Surrender Enlighten - Born Again (Breeze & Styles Remix) Sy & Unknown - Bring Me Round To Love (Scott Brown's Evolution Remix) Phaze4 - You're Never Gonna Know (Sy & Unknown Remix) Chris Unknown & Re-Con - Show Me Now (VIP Mix) Sy & Unknown - Do We Have To Say Goodbye? (Breeze & Styles Remix) Chris Unknown & Technikore - Let Me Go Ian Van Dahl - Inspiration (Re-Con Remix) This is blowing my mind! The amount of records is insane, but it's the quality of the records that blow me away. You cannot get these records anymore, they don't make them like they used to. And that's truly unfortunate, as they were absolutely amazing! I cannot explain to you how much I love the Sy & Unknown records. They were my introduction into this scene, and I do believe that the first record I ever heard, which was a UKHC track, is in this mix. This brings back memories, a lot of memories. This isn't the first Quosh dedication mix I've seen, and it won't be the last one. Boy, I do love this label so much. So sad about its demise, but at least we've got the classics to fall back onto. And those records are dope. Claxton's mix is dope. So many classics, and they were played at many events. Even to this day people adore them, and I'm one of them. They were great in releasing records with vocals in them, they were the best. And there are too many to pick from. Seriously, how can you pick one favourite, when the majority of the records are equally as good as each other. All top notch records. Sad that the label isn't active anymore, but happy that we still have these classics to enjoy. And you should enjoy yourself. Put this mix on, and go nuts!

- Rooler - All Night Long (5 Hours Set) (2023)
Back in 2023, to be precise, the 8th of December, Rooler played 5 hours long, at the Bootshaus, in Cologne. He was the only artist to play that night, so the focus was around this legendary DJ and producer. And to have a party dedicated to you and what you do, is really awesome. Don't see that happen very often, but when it does happen, you know it's going to be great. Rooler, 5+ hours playing Hardstyle music, ranging from 2000 until 2023. That's just awesome, right? Unless you dislike Rooler. There aren't many people out there who dislike Rooler. I am not one of them. I discovered him many years ago. I think it was a Ground Zero promo mix I found, and I fell in love with it. That 'early' Rooler sound cannot be beaten. But he's been working very hard with his own brand, Aggressive Records and AR Gang, alongside someone called Sickmode (might have heard of him). He's been very active, and he has gained a lot of new fans. Fans willing enough to pay money to see him, and only him, perform at this club in Germany. And if you want to know what it looked like, you can watch it all back on YouTube. Or if you are a Soundcloud fanatic (like me), you just want the raw music. And that's exactly what you are going to get. Credits to the organisers for having Rooler on his own, and for the fans, for making the night very special for him. And Rooler for being able to do such a long set. But now comes the daunting task of typing the whole tracklist. Unfortunately copy & pasting doesn't work properly, so here we go: ZX a.k.a Zenith DJ & Avex - I'm Your Deejay DJ Zany - Sky High Julian DJ & Davide Sonar - Go Go Go Donkey Rollers - Motherf*ck (Zany Remix) DJ Duro - Cocaine Motherfucker DJ Isaac - On The Edge Builder - Bad Manners (Luca Antolini DJ Mix) JTS - Bad Yard (Noog Een Keer Mix) Builder - Hardbeat Market Mauro Picotto - Komodo Showtek feat EMC - Raver Mr. Puta - Green Stuff Deepack - The Prophecy (Qlimax Anthem 2003) Builder - Skyscraper (DJ Luca Antolini Hard Mix) TNT - Utta Wanka Technoboy - Next Dimensional World (Qlimax 2008 Anthem) Tuneboy - Re-Generate It Technoboy - Rage DJ Phil Ty - A Kay A Technoboy feat Shayla - Oh My God Builder - Her Voice (Headhunterz Remix) Mike NRG - Lost In Dreams (Tatanka & Zatox Remix) Showtek - Generation Kick & Bass Tatanka - GTP (Technoboy Remix) Tatanka - Africa Zatox - Tanz Electrik (The R3belz Remix) Brennan Heart - One-Master Blade The Nasty Boyz - Angel (Hardstyle Masterz Cut) Noisecontrollers - Attack Again Gostosa - Sutra D-Block & S-Te-Fan - Music Made Addict Showtek feat MC DV8 - Electronic Stereophonic Frontliner - Discorecord Proppy & Heady - Summer Of Hardstyle Blutonium Boy - Make It Loud (Headhunterz Remix) 2 Best Enemies - Phases (Technoboy Romantic Mix) Tatanka - Italia Technoboy - Ti Sento Davide Sonar - Natural Headhunterz & Wildstylez vs Noisecontrollers - Tonight Headhunterz & Wildstylez & Noisecontrollers - World Of Madness (Defqon.1 Anthem 2012) Max Enforcer - Gold Noisecontrollers feat Adele - So High To The Rain (Roolers Old Alias Mashup) Zatox - Opera Quintino & Sandro Silva vs Benny Benassi - Epic Illusion (Zatox HardMix) TNT - Countdown Delete - Formula (2012 Edit) Delete - Fast Lane Crypsis - Main MF Chain Reaction - Record Breaking The R3belz - Pattern 2 Gunz For Hire - Struggle For Existence (Live Edit) D-Block & S-Te-Fan feat High Voltage - Shiverz E-Force & Luna - Masterclass Radical Redemption - Brutal 3.0 Radical Redemption - Gods Child Frequencerz - Bitch Regain - Insane Rebelion - Salvation Delete - Pulse Malice & Rooler - Destructive Acts Malice & Remind - N.S.G.

And if you love Rooler, you will have thoroughly enjoyed it, I bet. 5+ hours, 128 records. You couldn't ask for more. And it's also a trip down memory lane, for all of us. Going back to our Hardstyle roots. It is impressive, and I've seen many awesome records in this mix. I'm more of a Soundcloud fan, so if you are interesting in watching how the event went, I've also put the YouTube video below. But if you aren't bothered, you can just click the Soundcloud player below. I love the trip down memory lane, but obviously the main focus lies with the DJ himself, Rooler, and he plays a lot of his stuff. And they are really awesome records. Not all of them, there are a few 'meh' records, but if that's what the crowd wants to hear, then that's cool. The main question here is, what do I prefer? The early Hardstyle songs, or the Rooler era? That's tricky, as I do like Rooler and the current Rawstyle direction he is taking us on. But I'm an oldskool sucker, and prefer the early stuff. 'Ti Sento' anyone? Hear that song, and I loose my freaking mind! Still an awesome achievement, slightly ruined by the unnecessary MCs, and a few 'meh' songs. But I would have sold my only working kidney to be there. Well, can't go back in time, eh?

- The History of Hardcore Gabber vinyl mix (Part 1) (2023)
The weekend has landed. Well, it was a bit earlier for me, as I finish on a Friday at 1:20PM, so I can consider myself lucky. But not lucky enough to get out of doing chores, and one of them was the most tedious one: cut the grass. Well, if I'm doing that, I need something powerful enough. And obviously, without hesitation, it takes me to my youth, the soundtrack of my generation; Hardcore/Gabber. How funny that I only a few days discovered a new artist on YouTube and Soundcloud, who makes Hardcore mixes? That's just a coincidence, right? This isn't the first time I talk about Hardcore, and it won't be the last time. And as long as I am alive will I be speaking about it. Especially the music from the 90s and early 2000. Those were amazing years, and whenever I discover 'new' music, in the form of a mix, I jump on it. It has to come with a tracklist (OBVIOUSLY), and the one you are going to listen to, has got all that. And the songs are time stamped too, so if you are curious, just check the mix out. I stumbled upon this DJ by accident, and had saved a few mixes on YouTube. But I rediscovered him on Soundcloud. His name is Sketler, which sounds more like a robot thingy machine, like Optimus Prime. Or a sex tape which includes a woman dressed like a big skittle. But it isn't. It's harder than that! It's a DJ who makes excellent mixes, and back in 2023 he made this nearly hour and a half long mix, with some seriously insane bangers! I have never heard of Sketler before, but I am a new follower, and it feels like we could have been twins: he plays the exact songs I grew up listening to, and the songs I absolutely ADORE. No joke, just check out the tracklist: Tschabos - Gib Mir Die Bass (Noch Korrekter!!) Buzz Fuzz - Frequencies (Original XS 4 All Mix) Pino D'Ambini - Up & Down Ballz (Original Mix) Wayward - Hardcore Hijacked Me Neophyte vs Stunned Guys - Get This Motherfucker Wasting Program - Bring That Shit Back (Buzzy Goes BZRK Mix) Too Fast For Mellow - We Gonna Get This Place Inferno Bros - Slaves To The Rave (PCP Mix) DJ Promo - Kill Da Noise Predator - Mind Of A Lunatic Chosen Few - Name Of The DJ DJ Sim - Loud As Fuck (54321 Mix) Waxweazle - Hardcore Power Party Animals - Used & Abused (Amnesia Mix) Masters Of Ceremony - Hardcore To Da Bone The Stunned Guys - Beats Time T.urbulence - 6 Million Ways To Die DJ Alex - In Control DJ Weirdo & Dr. Phil Omanski - Young Birds Human Resource - Dominator ('96 Mix) Hocus Pocus - Here's Johnny (Gabba DJ Mix) Omar Santana - Kick Some Shit Jappo & Lancinhouse - Exlxaxl Braindead - Braindead DJ Promo - Shut Up! DJ Perpetrator - Maniacs X-Factor - The Underground Knightvision - Who Is It? Distortion & MC Raw vs Bass-D & King Matthew - Raveworld Delirium & Guitar Rob - The Way That We Rocked It (Live In NYC) Nasty Django - Hardcore Muthafucka 3 Steps Ahead - In The Name Of Love Yes. These were the records I truly adored (and still do), and they have been on many compilations, which I have purchased over the years, and absorbed. Some tracks I know exactly which album they were from, and I know basically every second of the record. It's such a throw back to the golden years of Hardcore. I've absorbed these records, you would not believe it. I can dream these records, and they are part of me, as much as humanly possible. They were played at many raves, and I am so glad to have been part of that culture. Not many can understand the importance of Hardcore in the 90s, and how much we were one. We were gabbers/mates, we were in it for the music, nothing else. We supported each other. No mobile phones to be seen, not looking cool for the 'gram. We were there for the music. Head in the bass bins, and go nuts until the lights were turned on. I cannot explain to you, the reader, how much these records mean to me, and how much they are part of me. If you cut me, I bleed Hardcore. 90s Hardcore, that is. Sketler has done an amazing job, and has given us a wicked mix. It's not 100% perfect, but close enough. And because he crammed in these records, some records were cut short, which is unfortunate. Like my favourite record in this mix. DJ Sim, one of the best producers of the 90s, his record was just too damn good, but would have been nicer to have heard a tad longer. Worst record? Maybe 'Braindead' by Braindead. But that's it. A very good mix. And I cannot wait to discover the other mixes he's got on his Soundcloud page. And I might even go and check his YouTube channel. If it's Hardcore, I am on it!

- Trance Classics Revamped (Part 1) (2024)
It is Wednesday, and it's truly hot. It feels blisteringly hot, and most of us are hoping for a bit of cooler temperature. But that's just a human feature: we complain when it's too hot, and when it's too cold, we complain too! But instead of the temperature going up on its own, let's increase the temperature by playing a wicked mix! Yes, nothing can get us hotter than hearing an awesome mix. And today's mix is truly astonishing, and I have found it by accident, as I do with most mixes. And it's also the first mix in an instalment, so there might be more awesome mixes coming. The mix was made by someone called Antone, and it's called ''Trance Classics Revamped''. And as you might have guessed, it's part 1. Don't know how many will be made, but if the first is this good, I can't wait to hear more. And the length of the mix is also truly acceptable: an hour and 20 minutes. That's just the right length, right? So, according to the info for this mix, it's a new series and it takes the already existing Trance classics and bring them up to date with fresh, modern day interpretations. And you know I like myself a bit of that, but only if it's done correctly. And that's always my biggest worry. Because I feel you have to honour the classic, and do it as good or better than the original. But not worst. That's not a suitable scenario, right? So, is this mix the right mix, and is it what we were looking for? Is this the perfect mix for what feels the hottest day of 2024 so far? Above & Beyond presents Oceanlab - Sirens Of The Sea (Marsh Extended Mix) Delerium feat Leigh Nash - Innocente (Sam Mitcham Remix) Above & Beyond presents Oceanlab - Beautiful Together (Genix Extended Mix) Way Out West - Mindcircus (Solar Movement Extended Remix) Tilt feat Zee - Butterfly (Beatsole Vocal Remix) The Thrillseekers presents Hydra - Affinity 2018 Flutlicht - Icarus (James Dymond feat Jennifer K Remix) Goldenscan - Sunrise (Daniel Kandi & Temple One Extended Remix) Re:Locate - Rogue (Robert Nickson Extended 2016 Reboot) Factoria - Another Legends Legacy Mekka - Diamondback (Adam Ellis Remix) The Space Brothers - Shine (Jorn van Deynhoven Extended Remix) Solarstone - Seven Cities (Ferry Tayle Extended Remix) If this is the first mix in this new mix series, I cannot wait for the others! My God, this is a glorious mix. Antone has made a splendid one, with a lot of big hitters. The originals were awesome, but these versions can even be seen as better versions. It did take me back in time, and I really loved these versions., Especially when my favourite one is played. But they are all wicked songs. And when 'Sirens Of The Sea' starts, you know you are about to listen to an awesome mix. And the hour flies by too quickly for most. You still have 20 minutes left, after the hour, but that's not what I meant. You know what I mean, right? So many great songs in here, but to me 'Rogue' is the best. I rediscovering all those gems remixed by Robert Nickson. So many classics, and this one is surely the best of this mix. Am I wrong? What's your view on this mix? Is it worth your time? My opinion says 'yes'. So let's press play and enjoy it!

- Saturday Seshions 'Next Generation Vs Blatant Beats 2' - HDSN (2024)
Sunday. A day to relax. But most of you lot won't be relaxing, you will probably be watching a football match, as it's on TV right now. I'm not one of those people who enjoys a game, I'd much rather do a million other things, and one of them is reviewing a mix. Hence why you are now reading this review, even though my own country is playing a game. But I'd much rather listen to this mix, as the focus of this mix is on one of the greatest UK Hardcore labels out there. Well, two of the greatest labels: Blatant Beats and Next Generation Records. You might have heard of them? It's yet another smashing mix by the people who run the History Of Happy Hardcore account on Soundcloud. It was live recorded on Twitch only a few days ago, and if you are familiar with their mixes, you know they are ridiculously long. This one is 5 hours and 49 minutes long! Long as hell, but worth it. We all love both labels, and we are always eager to hear more. This mix is an appreciation mix, and has got so many anthems in it. Some would say too many, but I wouldn't agree. They've done this before, and this mix can also be found on Soundcloud. If you are curious, you can check it out on Soundcloud. But maybe focus on their latest mix first, as it's a glorious one. And it makes me wonder what has happened to the label. So much potential, so much was released over the years. Their records became instant classics. And now it's not here anymore. 7 years ago was the last album release, and 13 years ago their last single release. It is a shame, because this was one of the coolest labels out there. Do you agree or disagree? Let me show you what's in store: Fade & Dair - Burnin' NRG Fade - Start The Party Brisk & Fade feat Kelly - New Sensation Brisk & Fade - Radio Rockin' Double Dutch - Here Comes The noise Fade & Menis - Guardcore Fade - Fly With you Brisk & Fade - Stay Here Forever Double Dutch - Droptop Brisk & Ham - Taste The Rainbow DJ Ham - Pay Attention Frisky & Hujib - Partycrasher Frisky & Hujib - Ruff Rugged & Raw Brisk & Vagabond feat DMO - In Control Vagabond - Wilde Style Euphoria feat MC Wotsee - Echo Of Heaven Euphoria - Future Is Now Vagabond - Enter Heaven Euphoria feat MC Casper - Forbidden Fruit Vagabond feat MC Wotsee - Axis Mundi Euphoria feat MC Casper - Eternal Summer Brisk & Vagabond - The Time Has Come Vagabond feat Tais - Dance For Me Vagabond - World Of Unknown Euphoria - Eternal Heights Double Dutch - Turn Out The Light Brisk & Vagabond - Innocent Human Resource - Dominator (Brisk & Ham Remix) DJ Ham - Dancefloor Is Open DJ Ham - Screams Your Heart Out Vagabond - Poisonous Eclipse - Making Love Forever (Ham Remix) Fracus feat Lisa Abbott - Mirage (Brisk & Ham Remix) Eclipse - Things You Do (Ham Remix) Euphoria - Holding Out Euphoria - Drunk With Love Brisk & Vagabond vs DMO - Never Be Alone Brisk & Ham - Sunrize Brisk & Darwin - Make You Mine DJ Ham - Love U Tonight Euphoria - Restore My Heart Fracus feat Ali - Guiding Lights Double Dutch - Worlds Collide (Brisk & Fracus Mix) Brisk & Fracus - Nothing In Our Way Euphoria feat Tess & MC Wotsee - Final Goodbye Brisk & Vagabond - My Obsession Brisk & Fracus - Clear Blue Skies Double Dutch - Killer Ham vs S.O.U.L. - Run To You Brisk & Ham - Angel Eyes (Re-Con Remix) Brisk & Vagabond - Hit The Deck (Ham Remix) Brisk & Stormtrooper - Rubix Cubix Vagabond - Addiction, Temptation Brisk & Ham - Fuck With My DJ Brisk & Ham - Step 2 Da Flaw Brisk & Stormtrooper - Rudeboy Sounds Brisk & Vagabond - Lift Me Up Brisk & Vagabond - Hardcore Never Dies Impact - My Style Brisk & Vagabond - Dance With Me Deeadhed - On Fire (Hixxy Remix) Euphoria feat MC Casper - Hardcore Overdose Dreadhed - Pussy Like Bitches Brisk & Vagabond - Funky Joint Brisk & Vagabond - Clubfucker Brisk & Vagabond - Punchdrunk Brisk & Ham feat MC Whizzkid - Crazy Love (Scott Brown Remix) Brisk & Fade - Skillz & Stylez Double Dutch - Delicious Frisky & Hujib - Never Stop Double Dutch - Movin' On This is a tracklist I wasn't ready for. My God, the amount of classics in here is insane! I had to look on Discogs again to figure out how many records these labels had released, and it a lot! A lot, a lot! And a handful of them made it into this mix. And yes, it glorious. It goes from your well known UKHC classics to some European Hardcore, the style we like in the Netherlands. And that put my under pressure to determine a favourite record. As I've got one for each style, I have two for this mix. 'Punchdrunk' is my favourite Hardcore anthem, 'Ruff Rugged & Raw' my favourite UKHC anthem. But this mix has got more than just these two anthems. 71 in total. Nearly 6 hours of UKHC's finest anthems. And even to this day do they do a lot of damage. Did they know, when they created these labels, that they would be so influential? So impactful? So important to us all? I doubt it, but that's exactly what these two labels had become. Well respected, and truly missed labels. A wonderful glimpse back in time, when UKHC dominated my life, and most of the people in the UK. And I'm glad to have discovered these labels before they stopped. Well, did they stop? Who knows?

- Headless Horseman // Headcast 02 (2024)
Headless Horseman. You think you've seen and heard it all. And than this comes along on Soundcloud. Never heard or seen the name before, nor have I seen a headless horseman before. No intention of seeing one, as I'm sure they are quite mythical and kind of scary, so I'd rather much avoid them. But maybe when it comes to the artist Headless Horseman, I might give it a go. If you are as unfamiliar as I am, the only thing you need to know is that this artist makes and plays Techno music. And that's also the only info I could find. Not much is known. It's a mysterious artist. And I tried my best to find more information, but I simply could not find anything. If you know more, please do leave a comment below. Would be interesting to find out a few details. Not all of them, of course. But yeah, a mystery artist, who has uploaded a new mix, which is called Headcast 02. Again, guessing it's linked to the name of the artist, but that's all I know. I simply found it by listening to another Techno mix. And it's an interesting one. I went into this mix without any expectation, but I was kindly happy to have found this mix. I've listened to it a few times, and I am still in awe of this mix. Happy to have found it, and the records selected for this mix are really awesome. Techno, Techno, and even more Techno! Let's dive straight into the mix, and let me show you what you can expect: Brälle - The Dead Space Between The Stars Andres Cetre & Lizzy M - State Of Tension Danya - Encode Casual Treatment - Heritage Laniakea - The Fabric Of Reality Metapattern - Blinded By Safety Conceptual - Not An Easy One Magna Pia - Daphnis Heist Mode - Brick Step Clotur - Broken Symmetry Lakej - Formless Nature Uun - Double Aspect Michel Lauriola - Complete Lakej - Special Advice JK Flesh - Human Nature (Reeko Remix) Dimi Angelis - Ice Warrior Lidvall - Above The System Oxygeno - Flames Around Norbak - Amarante 9am Lewis Fautzi - Complete Cycle Patrick Carrera - Rungir6 Ø [Phase] - Exiting The Delusion Liza Aikin - 1806 Headless Horseman - Untitled This is a solid mix, with a lot of unknown records. A lot of unknown artists too, but that's just the mystery to me when it comes to Techno. I don't need to know much, as long as the music is banging. And the music is indeed banging. Headless Horseman, still a weird name to type and say, has made a very cool mix. So many unknown records, and the only artist I recognised were JK Flesh and Dimi Angelis. The others are truly unknown. But that makes it more mythical, like a headless horseman. But the vibe throughout is extremely good. Again, I wasn't expecting to find this mix, but I'm glad that I have found it. It has given me enough energy and power to get me through the day, and I am sure it will get me through more days. This has been a wicked mix, and I'm glad to have discovered this headless horseman. Best record? I couldn't pick one. There's a plethora of records which are truly awesome. You pick one, and leave a comment below, which record is your favourite.

- Trance Rush Hour #3 (2024)
It is Tuesday, time for Trance. Well, truth be told, it's always time for Trance. And lately it's taken over this website. More and more Trance mixes make their way to this humbly little website. And today's mix is yet another smashing one. But the concept is thankfully not known to me anymore, but I'll explain that later. For now, the only thing you need to know, is that this mix is for those people stuck in rush hour. Millions of people are stuck in it every single day, and it's never a pleasant experience. But Eddie Swales can make it slightly bearable. Rush hour is thankfully a thing of the past. Been a driver for many years, and have sat in traffic for what feels like a century, but changing jobs a few months ago was a blessing in disguise, as the journey from work or to work, is only 15 minutes. Never stuck. Well, only when the binmen are out. But otherwise never stuck. Do I miss rush hour? No, not really. But I do miss the length of the journey sometimes: 15 minutes is too short to listen to an awesome mix. Unless it's 15 minutes. But most of them aren't. This mix is an hour long, and contains 10 records. And they are good anthems to listen to, when you are experiencing rush hour. Or even when you aren't in rush hour. Listen to it whenever, wherever. If you appreciate Trance music, you can listen to this at any given time. Hell, if you are at work, why not put this on, and enjoy yourself? It's a mix worth listening to. Why not go crazy, and on a day off, just drive your car during rush hour, just to experience this mix as it should be experienced? Maybe too much to ask, but worth a shot. Armin van Buuren - Communication Utah Saints - Lost Vagueness (Oliver Lieb Main Mix) Basic Avalon - Suspicious Love (JamX & De Leon's Dumonde Remix) Dumonde - Tomorrow (Full On Vocal Mix) Marino Stephano - Vision Control (Original Mix) Niels van Gogh - Pulverturm (DJ Tomcraft Remix) Boccaccio Life - The Secret Wish (Lange Remix) Madonna - What It Feels Like For A Girl (Above & Beyond 12'' Mix) Above & Beyond - Far From In Love (San Francisco Remix) Paul van Dyk feat Hemstock & Jennings - Nothing But You (Club MIx) This is a very good looking tracklist, and leave it up to Eddie to make it sound smooth. The tracks are all solid dancefloor smashers. Every single one of them. And the biggest of them all has to be 'Nothing But You', right? 'Pulverturm' got played so much, you could not avoid that song. And 'Tomorrow' was the biggest dancefloor hit when I went out clubbing. But I would give credit to 'Vision Control' for being this awesome masterpiece. What a brilliant record. Don't think I've heard this one in the last decade! Completely forgot it even existed, but what a powerful anthem. Hell, Eddie even played a Madonna track! How that ever happened, Above & Beyond making a version of a Madonna song, I would not be able to tell. But it works. It's a nice mix with the right records, that will give you enough energy to sit through traffic, for however long your journey might be. If it's longer than an hour, just repeat this mix. You'll thank me later. Only love and appreciation for this mix. I'll definitely check out the other two mixes, and so should you!

- Progressive memories 001 (2024)
Sunday has arrived, and we have had a long week behind us. Next week will probably be yet another long week, but at least we are getting closer to the Summer (hopefully). And to keep us entertained until the first proper Summer day, let's enjoy a mix made by Rory Larkin. The name might not ring a bell, which is understandable, but don't you worry: once you've discovered this mix, you will enjoy giving him a follow. Hoping that there will be more content like this in the future. Progressive Trance. A style we all appreciate. And today's mix contains a few records in an hour long mix. The right amount of records, and the length of the mix is also perfect. Don't want it too long, or too short. But it all depends on the quality of the records. Are they good enough? Are they worth our time? The quick and short answer is yes. I thoroughly enjoyed Progressive Trance. I can listen to it, at any given time. Well, maybe not always, as sometimes I like my music to be rough and raw, but most of the time I can enjoy the mellow vibes coming at me through my speakers. And this mix contains anthems I really enjoy hearing. And as it's only an hour long, you will be hooked onto this for that whole hour. Trust me when I say that. But what's in this mix? You are curious now, right? Like George? Jose Amnesia feat Shawn Mitiski - My All (Flash Brothers Remix) Ronski Speed - The Perspective Space (Flash Brothers Remix) Sundawner - Sorrow (Original Mix) Steve May - Sublime (Original Mix) Skytech - Floating Clouds (Original Mix) Arcadia - Into The Dawn (James Holden Remix) Jan Johnston - Rush (Benya Vocal Mix) Filterheadz - Yiminya (Markus Schulz & Austin Leeds Mix) Sunlounger feat Zara - Lost (Original Mix) Yes, these are some bad boy anthems. Chill as fuck, but still bad as hell. I would do unspeakable things to hear these songs being played out loud at an event. Oh, the vibes that you feel, coursing through your body. That feeling, especially when 'Yiminya' gets played. Boy, nothing can compete to that feeling, and I miss it so much. That has to be one of the most iconic tracks in this mix, closely followed by 'Floating Clouds'. But all in all, this whole mix is superb to listen to. Rory has selected only 9 songs, but they all work well together, and the hour flies by, quicker than expected. I've got only love and appreciation for this mix. A solid selection, and really great to hear. The weather might not be great today (12 degrees Celsius and cloudy), but if I close my eyes and turn the volume all the way up, I feel like I'm abroad, somewhere sunny. Enjoy this mix as much as I did. And now... I'll play it yet again!

- Classic Trance 50 Volume 4 (2022)
The fourth instalment of this mix series. If you haven't got Soundcloud, you might have missed these mixes. But if you have, you should definitely follow Johnny Davison. He's got so many great mixes on his channel, but the focus today is on the fourth of his 'Classic Trance 50' series. And if you haven't read any of the previous reviews, let me quickly introduce you to the format. The mixes are roughly 5 hours long, and they contain 50 Trance anthems. Yes, I know that's a huge pill to swallow, a 5 hour mix, but if you are into lengthy mixes, this will certainly be one you'll enjoy! Trance is awesome. I think I've said it many times, but it is the truth. Especially when I grew up. During my teenage years I fell in love with it, and it has been in my life ever since. And as I'm now at an age where I look back, I can consider the Millennium years the best years of Trance music. The current scene is OK, but noting can beat the early stuff. Not the early, early stuff, that's OK too, but the stuff around the Millennium, maybe up until 2010? The songs that are considered the classics, they are the best. And Johnny has picked yet another 50 of those amazing records. He has made 11 Classic Trance mixes which are ridiculously long, and many more can be found on his channel, but it's the classic ones that move me the most. And his fourth one is filled with yet another 50 epic anthems. No cheesy stuff, but the good stuff. The songs you listened to when you went out with your mates. The ones during which you raised your hands so high up in the air, you nearly touched the sky. Those anthems. And there's 50 of them! Yes, 50. And it's going to be an interesting few minutes now, typing the whole tracklist. Here we go: Elevation - Somewhere (Clear Blue) Sultan & Tone Depth feat Stephanie Vezina - Sagres (DJ Tarkan Remix) Cultivate - Broken Pieces (Max Graham's Third Street Remix) Solid Sessions Janeiro (Pronti & Kalmani Vocal Mix) Three Drives- Carrera 2 (Gabriel & Dresden Remix) Andain Summer Calling (Josh Gabriel Remix) Tilt - Twelve (Dousk Alt Mix) Envio - For You (Sunlounger Remix) Mark Otten - So Serene (Original Mix) Above & Beyond - No One On Earth (Gabriel & Dresden Mix) Stargaze - Souvenir Of Ultra (Original Mix) VIFRAMA - Cristalle (Katana feat DJ Precision Remix) Perry O'Neil - Gravity (Original Mix) Probspot - Midnight (Original Mix) Signum - The Timelord (Signum's Spectral Balance Mix) Dido - Sand In My Shoes (Above & Beyond Mix) Recluse - Yellow Moon (Original Mix) Solarstone & Scott Bond - Red Line Highway (Original Mix) C-Quence - Final Thoughts (Original Mix) Mark Otten - Mushroom Therapy (Lightscape Mix) Rapid Eye - Stealing Beauty (R.E.mix) En Motion - Getting Away With It (Thrillseekers Mix) Airwave - Ladyblue (Original Mix) Salt Tank - Eugina (Michael Woods Remix) The Scarab - Vabagond (Original Mix) Endre - Kallocain (Robert Nickson Remix) Tiesto & Junkie XL - Obsession (Original Mix) Bedrock - Heaven Sent (Original Mix) Sarah McLachlan - World On Fire (Junkie XL Mix) iio feat Nadia Ali - At The End (Scrumfrog Remix) Albert Vorne - Formentera What (Gareth Emery Remix) Lange presents Firewall - Wanderlust (Original Mix) Electrique Boutique feat Taz - Heal (Original Mix) M.I.K.E. & John 00 Fleming - Ice Cream (Original Mix) Free Radical - Surreal (En-Motion Remix) Goldenscan - Sunrise (DJ Tiesto Remix) Indiana - In My Vines (Kansai Remix) Three Drives - Sunset At Ibiza (Original Mix) King Of Clubs - Revelation (Airwave Remix) BT - Godspeed (BT 12'' Mix) Danjo & Styles - Blue Woods (Original Mix) Midway - Kung Fu (Original Mix) Planisphere - Totem (Original Mix) Filterheadz - Yimanya (Original Mix) The Ambush - Acapulco (Original Mix) Armin van Buuren - Control Freak (Sander van Doorn Remix) Perpetuous Dreamer - The Sound Of Goodbye (Dark Matter Remix) Inertia - The Chamber (Original Mix) John O'Callaghan & Bryan Kearney - Exactly (Original Mix) Insigma - Open Your Eyes (Sean Tyas Got Paino Mix) Yes! If I've not said this before in one of Johnny Davison's reviews, then I shall say it now: this is the Trance I grew up with. This is filled with anthems from my 'youth'. Wow, it makes me sound old, but I am 40.... This is from an era when I purchased a lot of albums, and it surpassed my favourite genre of all time by plays, which is Hardcore music. I played so much Trance, and still remember where I was when I heard the songs for the first time, and from which album they were from. Thanks for bringing back so many memories. And the tracks are superb. Some big hitters in here, like 'Heaven Sent', 'Godspeed', 'No One On Earth', but the one that touches me the most, is the most beautiful anthem of that era: Kallocain'. What a beautiful and underrated anthem. They don't make them like they used to. This remix is just gorgeous. It's yet another epic mix, and maybe Johnny might do a new one? Maybe a shorter one perhaps? As it's 5 hours long, it's quite the sit. But it's worth it. Trust me.

- Memories Of Hardcore 2! (Uk Hardcore) (2024)
From one UK Hardcore mix to another. The first one of today was made by DJ Dexx, and the one you are about to listen to, is made by DJ Dynamic. You all know I am a sucker for UKHC, and whenever I see a mix, I jump on it straight away. I cannot let it slide, especially when it comes with a tracklist. And it's yet again a mix, to commemorate the golden years of Hardcore. The difference between the previous one and this one are the tracks, as they are different, and this one is a few minutes shorter. That is all. Are you ready to go back in time? When UKHC dominated everything? I was so much into UKHC, I had albums imported from Australia because they were sold out in the UK! It cost me a fortune, but it was so worth it. I made everyone around me aware of UKHC and probably drove them extremely mad. But that was just me. Young and innocent, and a bit silly. I'm older now, slightly bigger, but still a huge fan of UKHC. Whenever I see a tracklist, I always get flashbacks to the moments when I first heard the songs on the list. And the majority in this mix, I do remember which album they were from, and where I was. They are that important to me, and are still awesome to listen to. They remained powerful as always, and loved even more, when time goes by. But would this appeal to the new generation of ravers? That I don't know. I don't have the answers, the kids do whatever they like. They might love it, or detest it. But at least there's a huge group of people who were there when the music dominated our lives. Sy & Unknown - Do We Have To Say Goodbye Nu Foundation - Drifting Away Adam Harries feat Lisa Abbott - When Your Gone Al Storm feat Amy - Surrender (VIP Mix) Styles & Breeze - Heartbeatz (Hardcore Mix) Brisk & Ham - Crazy Love 2008 Brisk & Ham - Fire And Flames M&C - Magic Touch (Squad-E Remix) Manian - Turn The Tide (Styles Mix) Mix Factory - Take Me Away (Re-Con Remix) Dougal & Gammer - Rave Theme Dougal & Gammer - Diskoteka Darren Styles vs Hypasonic - Baby I'll Let You Know Scott Brown - Do What Ya Like (Nu Foundation Remix) A good selection of anthems. Really awesome selection. And it reminds me how wholesome the scene was back in the day. Unfortunately it ain't like that anymore. But maybe one day it will be like it was. We can only hope and pray, right? Dynamic's selection is great. I can talk about each individual record and provide you with some information, some personal bits and bobs, but I will not. Because those tracks, as good as they are, are nowhere near the best record in this mix. 'Do We Have To Say Goodbye' is still one of the most epic anthems EVER made. Disagree? Leave a comment below. It is still a monster anthem, and I love it a lot. The other 13 are awesome too, but come on. Sy & Unknown during the golden years? They were the dog's bollocks. They were. Nothing can compete with their records. A wicked mix. Worth checking out. And maybe check out the first instalment of this mix, if you have got a few minutes spare. But for now, listen to this mix!

- UK Hardcore Classics 5!
It is still Monday, and we need something to get us going. Something with a big of oomph. And I have something you might appreciate. Already reviewed a few Dexx mixes before, even the first instalment of his UK Hardcore Classics mix series, but I've missed the few of his mixes unfortunately. We are now at the fifth instalment, and if you've got some time spare, you could check out all of them (and the other mixes he's got on his channel), but for now, let's focus on yet another UK Hardcore focussed mix. And it's a big one. I do love myself a bit of the classics. Can't believe we have to call them classics, when it feels like I was only listening to them yesterday, the day they were released! Time has flown by too damn fast, and it's a tad painful to acknowledge. But we have to. It is the truth, but at least the music can change our mood, and it will make us much more happier. Unless you hate UKHC. If that's the case, please leave this website. Right now. If you don't, and you adore it as much as I do, keep on reading. As I will reveal the tracklist, and it might contain records you adore. As Dexx has been digging deep, he's found a few records you've not heard in a while. So it might be something interesting for you all. Ready for the tracklist? Joining Of The Clans - Braveheart The Collective - Kick It Flip & Fill feat Karen Parry - Discoland (Sy & Unknown Remix) The Vampire - Total XTC Scott Brown - Fly With You (Scott Brown 2005 Remix) Frisky & Hujib - Believe (Breeze & Styles Remix) Brisk & Ham - Gettin' Hi (Scott Brown Remix) Haze & Dudlee - Dream Surprise Sy & Unknown - Bring Me Round To Love (Scott Brown Remix) Mikk & enVias - Bittersweet Hardcore (enVias Remix) Gammer - Body Flow Fragma - Toca's Miracle 2008 (Darren Styles Remix) Eruption - Surrender (Impact & Haze Remix) CLSM - This Is What You've All Been Waiting For Scott Brown - Wakey Wakey (Original Mix) Oh, Dexx has gone all out, and included some epic dancefloor smashers. It's a solid selection, and the hour and seven minutes will fly by. This would go down well at any rave. It's a trip down memory lane, and I've been going through some of those in recent times, and I love it. It makes me feel old and a outdated, but I don't care. Bring back the classics, bring back the style I adore. And with this mix, Dexx certainly brought back some glorious memories. But... I am not a fan of a few of the selected songs. 'Bittersweet Hardcore' has never been my favourite (generally dislike the original), and 'Braveheart' has been played too many times. Gets on my nerves, to be completely honest. But on the other hand, 'Bring Me Round To Love' can never be played too many times, as that is a certified banger. And of course 'Wakey Wakey'. Come on, no competition! A very pleasant mix, and I've enjoyed it. I might find a few hours spare, and will jump on the missed mixes. You should do the same. Take the nostalgia train back in time!

- 90s R&B Classics (The Roundhouse Mix) - 26-05-24
It is Monday. And the weekend we just had was a very nice one. The weather was great, and the temperatures hopefully will go up soon. It is the Summer of 2024, so anything can happen. But we should prepare ourselves for a nice Summer. Those 2 days will be glorious. And if you are of a certain age, (above 30 years old), you want something to get you going, and listen to when the BBQ is lit up, and the drinks are flowing. Have I got something special for you all, one mix I wasn't ready for, but now I am totally into it. The 90s were glorious years. If you experienced the 90s, you know exactly how I feel, and that it's difficult to describe how awesome it was. I was only a young lad, but still did I enjoy the decade. The music was ace, and R&B/Hip Hop music dominated the charts all over the world. And I went to many bars/clubs/discos where this was played. And even dodgy student venues. And as I'm the whitest person on Earth, I haven't got the moves, or any grooves. But R&B created a spark inside of me, and made me dance. Dance like a whale, but still. And it was so damn good. Had no one to dance with in the 90s, but I couldn't care less. The music has got many memories attached to it. Each song has been heard a million times, and they have become classics. The present day Hip Hop/R&B isn't my cup of tea, I don't get the hype at all. To me, the 90s were the best years. Come on, just scroll a bit down and check out the tracklist for this mix. A mix made by a regular to this website, Craig Scott. I love the innocence behind each record. They are radio friendly records, and you've probably heard these a million times over the years. But they remain powerful enough that you don't resent them. You cannot detest these records, never. But which records are we going to listen to, during the Summer of 2024? Montell Jordan - Get It On Tonite Brandy - I Wanna Be Down Next - Too Close Ashanti - Rock Wit U Mario - Let Me Love You LL Cool J - Loungin After 7 - Can't Stop Groovy Theory - Tell Me Maxwell - Ascension Sunshine Anderson - Heard It All Before Blu Cantrell - Breathe SWV - Right Here Aaliyah - Back & Forth Adina Howard - Freak Like Me Foxy Brown - Get Me Home Lauryn Hill - Doo Wop Janet Jackson - That's The Way Love Goes Notorious BIG - Juicy Mark Morrison - Return Of The Mack Mary J Blige - Family Affair Mariah Carey - Fantasy Notorious BIG - Hypnotize Truth Hurts - Addictive Fugees - Ready Or Not Damage - Ghetto Romance Donell Jones - U Know What's Up Jon B - Don't Talk Faith Evans - Love Like This SWV - I'm So Into You Tweet - Boogie 2Nite Missy Elliot - Work It Destiny's Child - Bugaboo Lucy Pearl - Don't Mess With My Man Zhane - Hey Mr DJ Kelly Rowland - Work Oh the memories. I've got plenty, and they all involve me being in clubs, when I was a teenager. The amount of time I spent in them is insane, but it was worth it. And the music was dope. Not all the songs in this mix made their way into DJ sets, but they were still everywhere. On many compilations, and as mentioned, on many radio stations. Cruising down the motorway with the windows down, volume to the max, and enjoying the sunshine... life was great. These were the songs that dominated my youth. And Craig Scott's selection is like he knew the songs were my favourite ones. It's like this mix was made for me. Unfortunately, it wasn't, but it is still amazing to hear these all in a 2 hour long set. Great selection. Lot of sensual songs, and as I was single most of the time, I had no one to dance with. So when these sensual songs were played in clubs, I always went to the bathroom or the bar. But when Missy Elliot, Fugees, Notorious BIG, Mark Morrison, Mary J Blige, and more came on, that's when the dancefloor got lit. Hands in the air! Hell yeah. If I close my eyes now, I am back on the dancefloor. I know exactly where, when, and what I was drinking. Good times. R&B is such a fantastic genre of music. Nothing that is in the top 40 nowadays can compete with these songs and the overall atmosphere it generated. Best record? Boy, there are too many, but if I had to pick, it has to be Janet's song ''That's The Way Love Goes''. Very sensual song, probably her best song ever. A solid mix, and one you should favourite, or save in a playlist. The Summer is about to happen, so be prepared: buy that meat, put it in the freezer, buy all the drinks, get those snacks... but don't worry about the music, Craig has got your back!

- Maromi : Rainbow Island Set (2024)
It is Saturday, and it's nice outside. The outside world seems slightly more pleasant today, especially after a spa treatment me and the wife had. But after coming home, I was awoken to the chores awaiting my input, so I needed something energetic, something to keep me going. And as you all know, I am a huge UK Hardcore/Happy Hardcore fan. I needed to hear a mix that contained just that. Energetic and bouncy Hardcore music. And that's when I remembered that I saved a mix a few days ago... and it's the one you are about to listen to. Maromi, a name you might have encountered on this website before, but it's way too long ago since I last wrote about this DJ. This DJ from Arizona, 1/2 of Mangled, was asked to play at an event called Rainbow Island, in Austin, Texas. And the first thing I noticed on the above image was the phrase 'keep Austin hard'. It sounds so sexual, but it's probably not meant that way. It's all about Hardcore, right? I am not familiar with the Hardcore scene in the States. I do know a few of the DJs and producers out there, but I don't know if it's a big scene. I don't know much about Rainbow Island either. Well, maybe only the fact that it was the title of Seb's song from 1996. What I have noticed over the years is that the Americans love it a bit happier, and sometimes a tad cheesier. That suits me. If you know something about this event, please do leave a comment below. Always interesting to hear more about parties I've not been to. Or even how big the scene is in the States. But for now, let me share you the tracklist: Blunted - Freedom (M-Project & Muzik Servant Remix) DJ Evo - Nothing Without You Okidam - Don't Wanna Sleep (No Left Turn Remix) JuiceWrld & Halsey - Life's A Mess (Starkiss Remix) Stompy & Easyvibe - I Touch Myself Gabry Ponte x Jerome - Lonely (Outforce Remix) Ryan Ganar x SethroW - TMAL Melanie Martinez - Tag You're It (170 Donk Squad Edit) Aqua - Cartoon Heroes (Shoduk x Scratchgonzo Remix) Rize, Maromi & Sparrow - Tiny In Tokyo Al Storm feat Lacie - Drop Everything Now (House Of Cards) Turn & Burn - Dreams (Rob IYF & Al Storm Remix) Kim Sozzi - Break Up (Technikore Remix) 100 gecs - Dumbest Girl Alive (DAG Flip) MUZZ - Ready For It (E_Tank Flip) Force & Styles - Heart Of Gold (Rescue Edit) Seb - Rainbow Island (Outforce Remix) DAG feat Luna Skye - You're Mine I've lost touch on what is hot and what's not the scene, so it's nice to be introduced to songs I've not heard before, or which do a lot of damage on the dancefloors all over the world. This is a weird looking tracklist. Not only do you get some pop artists in here, but also some artists we all know and sometimes dislike, like Aqua. It's a very diverse mix, and it's quirky. Don't know if that was the requirement for this event, but if that was the deal, Maromi has nailed it. But what Maromi selected, are some big anthems. Some are maybe a tad too cheesy for me, but the majority are really dope anthems. Especially when DJ Evo's song is played. I've been seeing that name in many mixes, and I'm highly impressed with DJ Evo. All in all, a cool mix. If you were at Rainbow Island, you must have had a great time. Was Austin hard? Hard enough? You tell me. Maromi brought the Hardcore, so it should be extremely hard, right?

- Glowkid pres. Generation X - Aaja Channel 2 - 14 05 24
If you are a regular to this page, you know of Glowkid, Gl0wkid, or however his name is spelled. His mixes have made it to this page, and I even had the honour to speak to this legendary DJ and producer, and radio host. And after a short break, his show has made its return. The Generation X radioshow was on a radio channel called Aaja Channel 2. Now I do know a few radio channels, but never encountered this Aaja station. But it's never too late to learn. And if you like his mixes, you'll love the fact that his show is on the air, every second Tuesday of each month. And obviously it's a great show, as I've been following my Greek friend for a few years now, and he's been a great host for many years. And he keeps us rave enthusiasts dancing. His latest, and debut on Aaja radio, is roughly an hour long, and it's got some obscure underground anthems. Trust me when I say that you'll love them. I tweeted a picture of my car audio unit, and it was showing Glowkid's show, and it even got retweeted by GPF. Don't ask me why or how. But maybe even they love the Glowkid? You'll get everything you wanted to hear. Rave? Yes, Hardcore? Check, Nuskool? Oh yeah! Hardcore Breaks? Couldn't be a mix by Glowkid at all if it didn't have a bit of that in it! But the big question is, is it any good? Is this debut set a good one? Well, there's only one way to find it out: Mark Archer - Armageddon (Sanxion Remix) JAKAZiD - Hard Crew Dowster vs Zensation - Release The Stress DeBisco - Second Contact Sideflip feat OZL - Everybody In The House Hyper Motion vs The Prodigy - Fire RRRitalin & Cynthia Stern - Battle Creek Brawl Yesten's Legacy - Busy Glowstyx - Bunny Jamie Zarfas - Overload Skooler & Flare - Probe Mark0 - Back-2-'92 Acen - Close Your Eyes (Optikon Love Show) Lomac - It's Always A Blue Sky Day (Old Skool Back To '93 Mix) The Prodigy - No Good It's amazing how he keeps on finding these hidden gems. I only recognise a handful of names, and obviously the first artist on this list is the most well known (Mark Archer, a.k.a. one half of Altern 8). But obviously I've come across songs by JAKAZiD, Acen, Dowster, and the most obvious one: The Prodigy. Glowkid is such a massive The Prodigy fan, can't you tell? And he's a massive Rave fanatic. Finally I have found my match, my brother from another mother. Someone who is as passionate as I am. But he's got more skills than I do. He can actually do something. I can just type and talk bollocks, but he has got a wider platform, and a wider audience too. Oh, how I envy my Greek friend. But he deserves it. He is so passionate, he deserves the best of the best. And for this mix he went all out, and found some amazing records. And the one that starts around the 37:30 minute mark, that one is just awesome. Can't figure out which one that one is. Closely followed by 'Busy''. But obviously the biggest hit of them all, is 'No Good'. An all time rave classic. But it has been credited too many times. Time for a new audience to get respected. And one of them is Glowkid. A fantastic mix, one that I will keep on listening to. And keep the glow coming please! Never stop the glow!!! DJ: Glowkid Genre/Style: Rave, Hardcore, Breaks, Nuskool Mix Info: Glowkid pres.

- DJ Dana (2004)
From UK Hardcore to early Hardstyle music: the last few days of 2021 will be glorious. I keep on finding gems on Soundcloud and Youtube (not Mixcloud, seems boring to me), and today I was actually looking for something specific. I remembered that back in the days I used to have a cassette of Lady Dana, and one of her sets on it. It was recorded directly from the radio, and I got curious for a second: I do not remember which set it was, but I was wondering if I could maybe find it somewhere? As long as I would hear the first few seconds of a Dana set, I would know immediately if it was exactly as the one from the tape or not. Sadly I did not find the set (as far as I can tell), but I did find a CD on Soundcloud from 2004. One I actually owned and loved. I remember buying the first CD in the shortly lived 'ID&T Presents ... ' series (which was Dana's mix), and in 2004 I saw this disc in my local CD store (shoutout to Satisfaction in Heerlen, The Netherlands, for providing me with excellent music), and put the money down without blinking. Lady Dana, or Dana as she was known during the early years of Hardstyle, she can do no harm. She's the QUEEN. So the money was put in the till, and I walked home, happy as Larry. Don't know where the CD has gone. Must have given it as a loan to one of my mates, and never had it returned. But thankfully the internet came to my rescue: nearly 18 years later. And now I'm going back in time, to the glorious years of Hardstyle. I do remember seeing her in 2003 at a club in Kerkrade called Vizion. And of course it left an impact on me, hence why I bought this CD a year later, and every CD her tracks were on. Was this CD as good as the one she released back in 2002? Well, it might be, if you can compare the two. Here's the tracklist for this CD, if you are interested: CD 1: Powerplay - In Process (Start The Process) Derb - Attack Luca Antolini DJ - Secret Dream (Hard Mix) J.Ru - Defected! (LaCargo Remix) Emphasis - Scumbag (The Gladheadz M-Fucka Remix) Dana - Unendlichkeit Pino Maresca - Batuca Style Spook-A-Tek - Unity Phase Ultrasonic - Hysterya Iron Cave Squad - Punk Tatanka & Peter Damir - Kick It Hard Donkey Rollers - Push 'm Up Thomas Trouble - Massive Attack (Blutonium Boy Hardstyle Mix) Pastamatik - Soul Donkey Rollers - Hardstyle Rockers Coretex - Out There CD 2: Powerplay - The Process (In Process) Hard Boostok - Stop Now (Dark Mix) DJ Seb.B - Mass Noise DJ Ze Mig L - Squeeker Box Passive Resistance - Praiseworthy Tunes (Hoipolloi Mix) DK - Murder Was The Bass Binum - Chapter Two Dana - Restyled Sandy Warez - Inderect Bass Ultra Tech - Psyko Thrill DJ Vicente - Music Is Coming TNT - Freakuency Jenny D Light - Reversity Deimos - Patience vs Pressure Lorenzo De Preti - Light On, Light Off Catscan - End Of Tomorrow Marshall Masters - World Evacuator Oh, the nostalgia. This CD makes me feel young and exuberating. I feel alive and 18 again. Wait, how old was I back in 2004? Let me calculate: ah, I was already 21. Wish I could be 21 again, eh? This CD contains every hard head wanted to hear back in 2004: a bit of Hardstyle, a bit of Hardcore, and a teeny little bit of Jumpstyle. It has got everything, including one of the most underrated Hardstyle anthems of all time. But we'll come to that in a minute. It's a well balanced mix, and the tracks selected by Dana were all great. A sound that is no more. A sound so unique, and so Millennium-ish. It is a sound that I miss hearing on the dance floors. It's like it has vanished from the face of the Earth completely. And that's a shame. It is good that Soundcloud is filled with these mix CDs from the Millennium era. A reminder of what once was.And these two discs are glorious to listen to. I would still classify the other Dana CD from 2002 as the best out of these two, but I would not say this CD is bad though. On the contrary, it's a magnificent CD. OK, two CDs, two favourite records. First CD has to be 'Attack' by Serb. And the second CD? Well, it's Dana's own song 'Restyled'. When I first heard it many years ago, it blew me into smithereens. Fucking epic and rough song. You can tell she was once in the Hardcore scene: this song is borderline Hardcore. Rough as hell! A wonderful compilation. Wish there were more Dana CDs out there. We all need a bit more Dana in our lives, right? Or Lady Dana, whichever you prefer!

- Dana Live @ Innercity 22-12-2002
2002. That's 22 years ago. Roughly. And I remember this day like no other day in 2002. I did not go to Innercity. I planned it, but I just didn't. The event back in 2000 started my love for it, but I decided not to go to this event. Why? Who knows. I should have gone to it, as the line-up was really good looking, but it just never happened. Disappointed as I was, I decided to listen to ID&T radio, and I did. Hearing Lady Dana play, that was just insane. Sitting there in my parents living room, with multiple cassettes ready...and hearing Dana play the finest Hardstyle anthems. I feel young again. Because that actually happened. And somewhere in this house is that cassette. Lady Dana, or she would be known as Dana, at Innercity mainstage. That must have been a dream come true. And the crowd's response at the beginning is insane, and it creates goose bumps. It felt like everyone was ready for Dana. And the mainstage had some big names too, like Tiesto, Sven Vath, Benjamin Bates, Kevin Saunderson, and Marco V. But it sounded like the crowd were only there for Dana. Good reasons for being there though: she is the Queen. Queen Dana, to be precise. I wanted to feel nostalgic, and this one brings back memories. Reminder: I was not at this event, but at home, listening to it being broadcasted through ID&T radio. And I hated myself for not going. Oh, how awesome would it have been. But thankfully there are these sets online, many decades after they happened. And I cannot believe this set is nearly 22 years ago. Dana rocked the stage, and years later I am still enjoying every tune she played. Not so much a fan of the MC. He does not add any value to the set. But what did she play, to get everyone so extremely hyped up? Yakooza - Cocaine (Derb Remix) Marc et Claude - Loving You (Isaac Remix) Showtek - Seid Ihr Bereid Kai Tracid - 4 Just 1 Day (Derb Remix) The Raiders - Electric Ant (Explosion In The Anthill Mix) Dana - Excuse Me The KGB's - The Discofan (Hard Disco Mix) Zany - In My Mind Schalldruck - Turntable Junkie (Uberdruk Remix) Ado The Dream & Andrea Montorsi - Bass Drum (Drum Mix) Duro - Time To Dance Jimmy The Sound - M.O.D.U.L.O. (One Version) Deepack - 100% K-Traxx - Hardventure (Technoboy Remix) Ard und Jorn - 16 (Bitte Ein Beat Mix) Psycho Hardstylers - The Game Julian DJ & Davide Sonar - Techno Noise (Frequency Mix) Oh yes! I am a Hardstyle fan since the beginning, and hearing these anthems again brings many smiles on my face. I walk around with a massive grin on my face right now, so if you do see a Dutchman in the UK with a too big of a smile, that's me! I'll say the same as I did 22 years ago: I wish I was there. But not to worry: sooner than expected did I see Dana play at some club in Heerlen, or was it Kerkrade? But I did hear her play these awesome tunes. But this Dana set at Innercity is truly a wicked one. She selected a shit ton of amazing records, and the crowd do love her. I cannot remember if this was the best set of the night, but to me it holds the most memories. Correct me if I'm wrong, but she was known in the Hardcore scene as Lady Dana, but when she made the move from Hardcore to Hardstyle, she 'dropped' the Lady part, and became 'just' Dana? Or am I being presumptuous? Whatever she was called, she destroyed the mainstage at Innercity in 2002. And the set is awesome. The MC a lot less. He could have stayed at home, and no one would have lost any sleep. But Dana kills it. So many classics (now) in this set. They would have become timeless Hardstyle classics, and they still do damage on the dancefloors. A wonderful set, can only give credit to Dana. And I'm blessed to have seen her on a few occasions. She was, and still is, the Queen. Think I'm wrong? Just listen to this set, and then you will understand why the crowd were screaming so much for her. She nailed it. And she gave everyone what they were waiting for: a wicked set. Dana rules! ''M.O.D.U.L.O.'' remains a classic and the best one in this set. Fight me in the comments if you disagree. Also, would be interesting to find out who went to Innercity 2002, and who remembers this whole Partyflock debate if it was her, or wasn't. Was she at Innercity or not? Or were you one of those sitting at home, recording this set, on cassettes?

- T.K.'s Jump & Tek Classics (Part 9: 28 Years The Oh! The Classics Edition Warm-Up Mix) (2021)
The year is 2007. I am younger, and more handsome. And I've got energy to last me through each night. I go out, raving in Belgium, and as I was already bitten by the Jumpstyle bug, I could not be separated from Belgian clubs. And I grew up with Jumpstyle, so when I discovered it in certain clubs, I knew I was home. As underrated as it is nowadays, it meant the world to me back in the mid 2000nd. And it got ruined massively, and that's the sad part of Jumpstyle. I do love it, and the other day I wanted to hear it so badly, I decided to visit my old friend Soundcloud, and to my amazement, there's a lot on there. Jumpstyle was and still is awesome. Not so much the dance, as it's a bit idiotic, and I can't do it. I look like a fat helicopter when spinning, so let's not do that. And the commercial side of it all ruined it. Everyone wanted to do that dance, but they did not understand the essence of the music. And when teenagers do the dance and older people try to, you know it is doomed, it is going to fail. We had a good run, but if it becomes ''cool'', it's certainly NOT cool anymore. But to me it was. And how cool was it, to modify your car, to have massive speakers and a subwoofer in the back, blowing everything and everyone around you to bits. Lower your car, bigger wheels, better stereo... voila, you are a tuner. That's not how it should have been, but it was, and I did it too. Even had the angel eyes for an Opel Astra (but it was a BMW thing). And of course did I have a massive sound system in the car: how else can you enjoy Jumpstyle? Hardcore 'died' in 1999, Happy Hardcore in '1998', Hardstyle emerged, and Jumpstyle took the world by storm. But it was tremendously big in the Benelux. That's a fact. And when it came to the actual music, the Belgians did it better. Much better. And with nights out, it was better in Belgian clubs. Event wise it was better in NL, but the Belgians knew how to throw a Jumpstyle party. And I've been to a few. This reminds me of the good ol' days. Not 100% familiar with the ''Oh!'', maybe someone can fill me in with the details? I have absorbed a lot of alcoholic beverages throughout the 90s and 00s, so some details have become foggy memories.

Again, I was a huge fan but never did the dance. Because, why would I? But trust me when I say that there have been plenty of journeys when the music genre of choice would have been Jumpstyle, and I've eaten the miles with those banging tunes being played out loud. Around 2007 I was full into Jumpstyle, and still to this day do I find the music awesome. T.K., the one who made this mix as some kind of promo mix for an event that took place 2 1/2 years ago, he selected a few of the big anthems that did a lot of damage on the dancefloors. And in the end, these tunes killed my sub woofer, as it could not handle the bounding beats and basses anymore. I feel like a teenager, early 20s, and everything is alright. Going out was still kind of affordable, and the music was awesome. Yes, trust me in saying that even Jumpstyle had some cheesy tunes. 'What A Feeling' anyone? But it certainly had some awesome records that I encountered everywhere I went. And to be it is 'Microsome's 'Flight''. What a freaking tune! Not only did you hear it everywhere, in clubs all over the Benelux, but also wherever you walked. The tuning community really loved Jumpstyle, and that song was played in many cars. A really solid mix, one that reminds me of a world where everything was OK, and we still appreciated Jumpstyle for what it was, NOT what it was about to become. But it was Oh! so cool, right? From the Wizard logo in the 90s to that Jumpstyle logo on literally everything. It was a hype, and I'm glad to have experienced it. They might have brought it back under the 'Freestyle' umbrella, but it's never going to be the same as during the Millennium years. DJ: T.K.

- Dystopian jungle dnb mix 1 (Fallout Edition) (2024)
I do love Fallout. I cannot describe how much I love Fallout. I've bought many games over the years, from racing games to silly children games, but Fallout was my first love, and it will remain my first love. I don't know how many hours I've spent playing Fallout 4, but it's a tremendous amount. And still to this day, even before the TV series was released, I kept on playing. It's addictive, and it's my escapism, if you catch my drift. Anything Fallout related, I jump on it immediately. And not buy it, because things are a bit too expensive. But when there's a mix on Soundcloud that combines Drum & Bass, Jungle, and Fallout... how can I ignore that? The mix mentions Fallout in the title, and it has got dogmeat and the lone wanderer in power armour. OK, we are now getting my full interest. But how does Drum & Bass and Jungle fit in the Fallout universe? Well, normally it doesn't. If you've played the game enough, the choice of music for the games is retro music, vintage music from years gone by. Not DnB or Jungle. But would the world be able to accommodate this DnB and Jungle? Yes, it would. Back in the day, many moons ago, I used to play games with DnB being played in the background. Granted, Fallout would sound more different, but it could be even more intense. And certain cut scenes would be more interesting. Hell, imagine attacking a deathclaw with DnB playing? That would be AMAZING. DnB could be the perfect kind of music to be played once we enter the post apocalyptic world. But would these tunes be the ones you would listen to?

A Fallout themed mix, where not only the image provided is related, but even the song titles are. Just look at them, right? Or maybe I've got it wrong: did Bethesda get the idea from the Drum & Bass scene? I meant Interplay, as they were the first. But was it Fallout that inspired Drum & Bass, or is it the other way around? It can sound very ominous and very dark. But that's the same in Fallout. Especially when 'The Unofficial Ghost' is played. What a fucking anthem. I would have this on repeat in the wasteland. I would be happy hearing them, whilst slaying super mutants, and those pesky feral ghouls. Fuck them. And I don't need to have any weapons or VATS: I've got the power of music. Just play this, and the whole world will reunite again. But those idiotic radscorpions are probably not going to listen, so we will have to eliminate them. They don't like DnB. Fuck 'em. Yes, a very solid yes from me. I do love this mix, and it should get more plays. A solid mix, that would do the Fallout universe justice. Maybe for Fallout 5 they could introduce DnB music. How's that for an idea? Soul on 10, another wicked mix. Thoroughly enjoyed it. More of this, please!

- Harmony of Hardcore 2024 | Oldschool Gangsters warm-up by Marc Acardipane
If you have been living in a cave and haven't been outside yet, you might need to adjust your expectations. It's hot today, and so it was yesterday. I finished working at 1:20pm, and once I got home, I was excited to do some chores around the house. One of them being doing the garden, and the other cleaning the car. Those are chores, and you need something awesome coming at you through your headset. I needed something that would take me back to my youth, and OBVIOUSLY I listened to a promo mix by the Godfather of Hardcore, Marc Acardipane. The living legend himself. As mentioned, this is a promo mix, and it's for next week's Harmony Of Hardcore, which takes place in Erp, The Netherlands, and the tickets are all sold out. So if you didn't get a ticket, you will be very sad. Why? Well, because of the sick line-up. There plenty of areas to visit, but if we just stick with the area Marc is playing in: Stanton, Potato, Rob Gee, J.D.A, G-Town Madness, Nico & Tetta, MD&A, Rob & MC Joe, Painbringer & Ruffneck. Tell me that doesn't look awesome, right? To get everyone hyped up, Marc and others have given their promo mixes to Harmony Of Hardcore, and now there's hours of fun on Soundcloud. What, you think Marc's mix is a bit boring and you want something else? Why not check out mixes by Drokz, Hysta, Soulblast, Bass-D, Arjuna, Potato, and more. I'll stick with Marc's mix, as he's to me the most influential artist to have started this scene back in the early 90s, and still remains an excellent producer. And his catalogue remains the most influential to many. Hell, he's called the Godfather for a good reason. But what's in this mix? Is it your standard Marc Acardipane a.k.a. PCP nonsense? Well, hold on tight, this is what you can expect: Marc Acardipane feat Da TMC - Don't Touch That Stereo (Original Mix) Marc Acardipane - E-Ternal (Original Mix) Ruthless x Dave S - FCKDP (Original Mix) Marc Acardipane & The Stunned Guys - Gloria (Original Mix) Promo - Vicious Circle (Marc Acardipane Remix) Miro - Extraterrestrial Bass (Original Mix) w/ Miro - Destroy (Original Mix) Miro - E-Shifter (Original Mix) Marc Acardipane - Return To Zero (Original Mix) Marc Acardipane - A New Mind (Cold Rush Phuture Mix) Miro - Shining (Original Mix) Miro - Bass Machine (Original Mix) Marc Acardipane - Atmos-Fear (Original Mix) Marc Acardipane - Into Sound (Marshall Masters Remix) I consider myself a fan of Marc since the early days, and it's always amazing to hear those wonderful tunes being played, but when I discovered this mix, I was a bit surprised to hear some 'new' anthems. Some I could not find any details about, like 'FCKDP' and 'Gloria'. If you have got more information on when they were released, of it they are to be released. It is a solid mix, but that's always the case. The classics will always bring cheers and smiles for miles. And you'll never be tired of hearing them. This set has been online for roughly 3 days, and already 2k+ plays. People want more. And so do I. Marc was there during the 90s for me, and he still remains a very significant individual in the Hardcore scene. And when he was asked to do a remix for Promo, he made 'Vicious Circle', and I love it a lot. A bit of Promo and a bit of Marc, all in one track. Don't even recall them ever doing something together? Maybe they should. But what a stunning track. 'Gloria' is second to that, but 'Vicious Circle' cannot be beaten. I wish I could go to HoH, but maybe one day I might. If I'm quick enough to get tickets, as I'm normally quite late. Those that are going, enjoy yourself, and hopefully the weather will be pleasant enough to dance outside, in the sunshine.

- Rinsers & Rollers Drum & Bass (1996-1997) 27-04-24
Everyone knows that I love Drum & Bass. Especially the kind released near the year 2000. That's when I really got into Drum & Bass and Jungle, and I've spent a lot of Dutch Guilders and Euros at my local record store, which is called Satisfaction Records (in Heerlen, Limburg). They were always pleased to see me, as I've spent most of my money on CDs. The size of my collection was impressive, but if I compare the ratio, Drum & Bass was roughly the fifth biggest genre in my collection. And over the years, due to Soundcloud, I have expanded my collection digitally, and I'm happy to say that I've added one recently, which was only uploaded 11 days ago. Craig Scott, the man behind the successful mix series ''Hardcore Breakz'' has uploaded a mix dedicated to Drum & Bass. He has surprised me a lot over the years with his mixes, and his latest Drum & Bass mix is yet another big one he has made. It's a mix that reminds him of the mid to late 90s, when these tunes would have been played at major events, such as Helter Skelter, World Dance, Dreamscape, and more. Unfortunately I wasn't there to hear these being played out loud, and what I would do to just experience it once... That must have been an amazing time to be alive, and able to rave to these tunes, played by the finest DJs in the game. Now I might have not been around in the UK back in the 90s, but I do know a thing or two when it comes to Drum & Bass. And just by looking at this tracklist, I'm drooling like Homer J. Simpson. And I know I've got a daunting task ahead: typing the whole bloody thing. So, please do me a favour: look and read the tracklist. I have not done this for nothing!! Thanks.

So many memories. Sadly none of them involve a UK party, as I wasn't living in the UK or working here, and I was also too young to go to them. Now I'm older, fatter, and slightly wiser, and I still haven't been to a proper Drum & Bass event. That's a shameful thing to mention, right? Normally I would not sit down for a 2 hour long mix, but with Craig, I know I will be satisfied throughout (that sounds wrong, but you know what I mean), and 2 hours will fly by. It has, and I'm now listening to this mix for the second time. It's that good, and the selection is really amazing. A few unknown ones to me (but maybe not to you), but the majority are well known classics. But leave that up to Craig Scott, he always delivers. Excellent. Another excellent mix with insane records. This is the style of Drum & Bass that caught my attention, and made me fall in love with it. And it stood the test of time. 2024, and we are still playing these songs, listening to them, loving them like never before. The tracks might be loaded with memories, but that's what makes them special, right? I cannot pick one record, there's just too damn many. Just check out this mix and choose your own. Enjoy it as much as I have.

- Trance Vocal Tuesdays - Classics #1 (2024)
You all know I am a sucker for Trance music, and when it's done right, the vocals add so much to a song. They can uplift a song to another level. Not always, don't get me wrong: some instrumental versions can sound better than the ones with vocals, but most of the vocals are just glorious. I don't find that many mixes on Soundcloud, which are focussed on vocal Trance anthems, but within 2 hours of finding the first one, I found another one. 2 in such a short timespan, that must mean something, right? And another thing to mention, it's not Tuesday today, it's Thursday. So does that mean we aren't allowed to listen to this mix, made by Trance Mam? Nah, don't you worry: you can listen to this whenever, wherever. And I would suggest listening to this today, as it's got some big anthems in here, and you might be in the mood for something this awesome. After checking the DJs Soundcloud channel, there was a short section about her history, and she only started DJing a few weeks ago! And it's someone who loves Trance. So yeah, that's all there is, but what a way to start your DJ career with: a set with vocal Trance anthems. The set might only be 51 minutes long, but it does pack a punch. The tracklist is a short one, so should be easy to type. Here we go: Delerium - Innocente (Tiesto Remix) Andy Moor & Ashley Wallbridge feat Meighan Nealon - Faces Armin van Buuren - Shivers Tilt - Invisible (Lost Tribe Vocal Mix) Ascension - Someone (The Space Brothers Dub) Tiesto feat Kirsty Kawkshaw - Just Be Delerium - After All (Svenson & Gielen Remix) Matt Darey feat Marcella Woods - Beautiful (Matt Darey Original Mix) This is a short tracklist, and thanks for the DJ for making it that short. Easy to type. But it does pack a certain punch. It takes me back to when I was younger and Trance was everything to me. And how I have devoured these songs. I have played them over and over, and they bring back so many memories. Glorious and happy memories. Thanks Trance Mam. She has picked 8 amazing songs. To start with 'Innocente' is a good choice, and it goes on after that. Hit after hit. But if I were to pick one out of all of them, that would be impossible. There are two equally as great as one another. 'Faces' and 'Shivers'. That second one is probably Armin's biggest hit (in my eyes). I really liked this mix, and I liked the following mix in this series. Again, you don't need to wait until it's Tuesday, just play it now. And let Trance Mam take you on a journey. It's going to be a pleasant one!

- Brooksie - We Speak Techno - April 2024
We speak Techno. Don't know what kind of language that might be, but I'll happily join the conversation. I do speak Techno. Hell, there's nothing else I talk about. Techno, Techno, Techno. Yep, that's all I talk about. Well, you know that's not strictly the truth, but we do have every so often Techno mix reviews, so it's not like we ignore it. And we have written a few reviews, which were focussed on Brooksie's mixes. So, in that sense, we do speak Techno. Do you speak Techno? Well, it has only been two mixes I've reviewed, so not that many. But at least we are fully aware who Brooksie is. I am not aware of Safehouse Radio or the show We Speak Techno, but now, due to this mix, I am aware. And I might give it a go, if they play the same kind of Techno that I like. He (Brooksie) was asked for make a mix for this show, which was broadcasted in April of this year, and you are listening to the outcome of that mix session. We started today with a UK Hardcore set, followed up by a House set, and now a Techno set. Life is so damn good at the moment, isn't it? So many glorious mixes being uploaded onto YouTube, Soundcloud and more. Instant gratification I call it. The only thing I'm not good at, is remembering names. Hence why I only review sets with a tracklist. But even when it does come with a tracklist, the names don't ring any bell. So let's dive straight in, shall we? The Degenerate - Up Tiddles & Rachel Rackitt - Battle Cry BONES 33 - Chocolate Sterling Moss - The Rebirth Tiddles & Sam DFL - Anti Carl Short - Turn It Up Tassid & Eski - PRESS 3 D.A.V.E The Drummer - Dig Into The Brain Krismix - Time Bomb (Chris Liberator & Sam DFL Remix) Dynamo City & Rats On Acid - Contagion Zero Dayz - Scared Business Benji303 & Lee S. - Fuck The Tories (Sterling Moss & Mark EG Fuck The 303 Remix) DICA - The Dancing Plague If I remember correctly, the previous two reviews also had short tracklists, so that's good. An easy one to type. And as said before, I don't know that many names. Some ring a bell, but that could be down to Brooksie playing them before, or I've seen them somewhere. The mix is interesting, and the flow is excellent. With that first song, the tone is truly set. And I fully feel the mix. I fully understand Acid Techno, as I speak the Techno beautifully. It's such a glorious mix, but that opening anthem, that's a big one. To some it might sound very repetitive, but to me it sounds heavenly. Never heard of The Degenerate before, but I do like this song a lot! Brooksie's set is a good one, and it's only an hour long. You can listen to this doing something else at the same time. You might have an hour at work, or when you are driving home, or even when you are cooking your dinner. Listen to this mix, at it's a big one. Unless you don't speak Techno. In that case, apologies for the inconvenience. But go away right now. Only those that speak Techno are allowed to listen to this mix.

- Mike Air Presents Summer House Classics - July 2021
Only a month ago did I find a new mix by Mike Air, and I really liked it. I liked it so much, it must have had some effect on my wife, as she also enjoyed the mix a lot. Mike kindly informed me, after sharing the blog, that he did make one in the past, back in 2021, which had a similar kind of vibe. Normally I would not review a mix by the same artist that soon after the latest one, but I had to do it. The Summer is around the corner, and the wife wanted to hear something new and refreshing, hence why this mix got selected. And the tracklist looks amazing. That's the main reason why I'm talking about this mix. Mike Air picked so many recognisable anthems, and you'll know all of them. And they were all released around the Millennium: the oldest being from 1999 to the 'youngest', which was released in 2004. Still 20+ years ago, if you think about it. But age doesn't matter, as the songs still sound amazing, and fresh. I love it when I hear anthems from when I was younger. And the Millennium years are the best, if truth be told. Well, the 90s were great too. Oh, and so were the 80s. Damn. Well, at least the songs are great, and Mike has picked some big hitting dancefloor anthems for his mix. You will know what I mean by that, once you look a bit further down, at the tracklist. Because they were the biggest hits, and were everywhere. And I'm not exaggerating. They were everywhere. Let me show you the tracklist, so you'll know what I'm talking about: Stardust - Music Sounds Better With You (Original Mix) X-Press 2 feat David Byrne - Lazy (Original Mix) Cassius feat Steve Edwards - The Sound Of Violence (Narcotic Thrust Two Minute Warning Club Mix) Roger Sanchez - Another Chance (Original Mix) Jakatta - American Dream (Different Gear Remix) Groove Armada - Superstylin' (Groove Armada Discotek Mix) Röyksopp - Poor Leno (Jakatta Mix) Layo & Bushwacka! - Love Story (Tim Deluxe Remix) The Shapeshifters - Lola's Theme (Main Mix) Bob Sinclar - I Feel For You (Original Mix) Michael Gray feat Shena - The Weekend (Extended Vocal Mix) Deepswing - In The Music (Original Mix) Spankox - To The Club (Highpass Club Mix) Mark Knight - Non Stop Rock (Vocal Mix) Bob Marley vs Funkstar De Luxe - Sun Is Shining (Funkstar Club Mix) You know what I find annoying? You would never guess, but let me explain myself. A few of these songs are so annoying, it hurts. Once you hear them, they won't leave your head for not just a few minutes, but sometimes hours, or even days. They are extremely catchy songs, and thankfully I grew up listening to probably the most catchiest era ever. I can't even remember naming a present day song in the chart with the same catchy capacity as these songs. What happened to most of these artists? They were literally everywhere, and now they aren't. I remember buying so many compilations and these songs were on them. Some even had multiple hits and kept on being on the charts, but now they aren't. Why does time fly by too damn quickly? It's the catchy element which can be annoying, but I'm still a sucker and press play again, because I want to hear these songs again. A fantastic selection by Mike. It's as good as the previous mix I wrote about. And I love the fact that these songs are played as long as they could, no short edits, but full extended versions! Kudos for that1 'The Weekend' has got to be the catchiest of them all. Catchier in 2004, way before Pokémon Go became a thing. A solid mix, and as the temperatures are going up this week, a good one to listen to. Shorts, flip flops, and good music. Summer of 2024, you can commence.

- The Evolution Mix (May Bank Holiday Mix PT 1) (06.05.24)
We are all back at work, after a very nice, long and relaxing weekend. Thank you, whoever decided to create a May Bank holiday. And we've got one coming up soon, in a few weeks. But today will be most people's first day back at work, and it is one of those days that will go on forever and ever. So we are in dire need of something that is energetic and will lift our spirits up. Obviously you immediately think of Scott Brown, or is that just me? I'm not the only one, come on! But don't you worry. I know you love a bit of Evolution Records and Scott Brown. You cannot deny the impact this man has had on the UK Hardcore scene, and his legacy is still alive and kicking (and so is Scott Brown). I've reviewed many over the years, and it's still a blessing to hear those songs again. He's made some fantastic anthems over the years, and there's a few you'll find in Alex Threat's mix. It's an hour and a half long, with a LOT of Scott Brown. I do mean a lot. But I don't mind. It's exactly what I needed to hear, WFH. Give me the tunes, keep them coming! It doesn't necessarily need to be Scott Brown anthems, but it wouldn't hurt us to hear more mixes like this one. Maybe we should introduce a daily hour of Scott Brown, that would make so many people instantly happier. What did Alex use for his mix? Well, these songs: Plus System - This Is How We Do It (Intro Mix) Scott Brown - Detonated (Plus System Remix) Scott Brown feat Cat Knight - All About You (Breeze & Styles Remix) Scott Brown - Hardcore Hustler (Hardcorevolution Mix) Q-Tex - Roll The Track Scott Brown & Gillian Tennant - Every Time I Close My Eyes Q-Tex - The First Parable Robert Francis & Scott Brown - Time To Runaway (Scott Brown Mix) Scott Brown - Synthetic Dreams Scott Brown & DMO - Fall Into Your Arms Interstate - Lift Scott Brown & DMO - Really Need You Scott Brown & DMO - I'm In Heaven Scott Brown & DMO - Call My Name Scott Brown - I Became Hardcore Brisk & Brown - Back & Forth Scott Brown - Neckbreaker (Essential Platinum Mix) Scott Brown - Flow Scott Brown - Definition Of A Badboy (Hardcorevolution Mix) Scott Brown - I Call The Shots This tracklist is a beautiful one. Yes, they are all Scott Brown records, but you can never have enough of Scott. It should definitely be a daily thing, hearing Scott Brown coming at you through your speakers. Would you agree or disagree? Again, I love hearing Scott anthems, and there's 20 of them. The hour will fly by, and you will feel enlightened. The mix is great, but it's got some tiny errors in it. Nothing too major, more cross fading issues. But nothing to worry about. It is always difficult to pick one favourite Evolution Records anthem, but today I'm feeling 'Time To Runaway'. Don't know why that one stood out for me today, but it did. A very pleasant mix, and I'm happy to have discovered it. As the title suggests, this is part 1. Hopefully part 2 will be released soon. Preferably tomorrow, as most of us still need a boost, a kick in the nuts. We need the energy, we need more SCOTT. And we need a time machine, to go back in time. I miss these anthems so much, hearing them at events. Time goes too damn fast.

- Matt Green - Full Album Mixed (2023)
You might have seen the name Matt Green before, and so have I, but never stood still who's behind the name, and where this individual comes from. The name is the only thing that rings a bell, but that's just it. Nothing else. But in a way I do like it, because it makes me go into this mix without any prejudice, without any knowledge whatsoever. Well, the only bit of knowledge I have, is that Matt Green makes Hardcore music, that's all. And after a quick look on Discogs, he's released a few songs and albums too. And that's all, folks. I don't even know how I found this full album mix, but I think someone reposted it on Soundcloud. Obviously, based on my comments, I do not own the album, nor have I ever even heard of it. But now I'm listening to it, and I can't stop listening to it. Why did I decide to listen to this album mix? Well, the cover looks interesting. A bit American, if I'm being honest? It looks like a poster for an old Wild West film. It looks snazzy, and it has got Hardcore music in it. Couldn't ask for more. But what kind of Hardcore? Well, the darkest Hardcore I've encountered this week. And it's a mixture of everything, which is always good. But the main gesture is that it's hard as nails. You must trust Matt Green, right? So what's on the actual album? Well, if you are interested, here's the tracklist: Matt Green - Beg Judgement Come Matt Green - Cashweazle Klapz Back Matt Green - Nite Want Matt Green - Goalkeeperz Fear Penaltyz Matt Green - Lorra Laffz Matt Green - Hey Listen (Oh Listen) Matt Green - Letraset Threatz Matt Green - Angzt Eatz Da Soulz Matt Green - Nevva No Matt Green - Fuckerz Luck Matt Green - Sugarfootz Shame Matt Green - Est8 Tax Matt Green - Sieben Setz Speed Matt Green - Full Album Mixed I have to say, and please remember, I am just a simple reviewer/blogger and most of my columns aren't even read, but bear with. This tracklist really hurts my head. I typed it, and tried to read it. This is so damn weird, and it makes sense but no sense either? It's like Matt just got a few words on Scrabble, and decided to make them into track titles, but with added bits, like a Z or making words funny. But seriously, the titles have fucked up my eyes. The track titles might be a bit weird, but so are the tracks. I do like the roughness of them, and when the first track starts, you know stuff is about to happen. But within the hour, it goes up and down. From the nice dark to the weird dark stuff. And again, the titles are just throwing me off. But all in all, it's still a wicked album, and the mix is dope. Quirky, yes. Not the type of Hardcore I would normally listen to, but every so often I would like to listen to something that stands out, and Matt's album does stand out, by a mile. The track that does it for me, starts around 15:55. Don't know the title, but it's hard. I played that in my car, and my speakers disagreed with me. This is hard, and I love it. You can feel the bass touching your sphincter. Your asshole trembles. An album you must check out. Hardcore as dark, edgy, and rough as you want it to be. And if that's your cup of tea, you will enjoy this. I have listened to it, and there are some memorable songs on here, and some are just OK. A nice mixture, and I'm glad to have discovered this album. Not the tracklist though. And as added bonus, not only have I added the full mix, but also the album. See below. Enjoy!

- 00s UK/Happy Hardcore Vinyl Mix (Part 2) (2024)
Last year I discovered this new artist on Soundcloud, and his name has appeared everywhere. And I'm not exaggerating. Januskopf is a name you see everywhere. And that's a good thing, as he's making an impact. But to me, the reason I discovered him, was due to his UK Hardcore mix he posted on Soundcloud. I really liked the first instalment of his mix, and he kindly informed me that there's a follow up to his mix. And it's so fresh: it was only uploaded yesterday. You all know I'm a sucker for UK Hardcore, so whenever something is posted, I jump straight on it. The mix contains records from the noughties, and I do love the noughties UK Hardcore. It's the best era, by far. The second instalment of his mix contains records you don't hear that often, which is always amazing! I wouldn't call them the forgotten anthems, as you do hear them, but I would prefer to call them underrated, as you don't hear them often. And they should be played more often, that's the truth. The sound from that era is so distinctive. You hear the anthems from the noughties, and immediately you feel the vibes coming at you. It was such a wicked time to be alive, and to hear those songs, it was amazing. And it's also cool to see a fellow Dutchman who loves it. There aren't that many Dutchies out there who appreciate UK Hardcore, so when I do find them, it makes me happier. But it all depends on the songs selected for this mix. Are they any good? Euphoria - Deal With The Thrill SPIT - The Beginning GEOS Crew feat Zara - Shine (Breeze Remix) Brisk & V.A.G.A.B.O.N.D. - Get It On Jamie Ritmen - Southern Sun Haze vs Team Rocket - Harder Faster DJ Ham - Oldskool DJ Sammy - Rise Again (Impact Remix) RSR Boys, DJ Fear & Lisa Abbott - Dusk Till Dawn (Dougal & Gammer Remix) Darwin - Floor Damage DJ Ham - Epic Riff Brisk & V.A.G.A.B.O.N.D. - Hardcore Never Dies DJ Ham & DMO - In Your Eyes SPIT - Show Me How Darwin, Obie & Mr. E - Hits You Like Thunder Oh Januskopf, this takes me back! This is the music I grew up listening to, and I still adore the sound coming out of the UK. Why did this never go worldwide, I do not have a clue. This should have been listened to by millions of humans, from all over the globe. The happy vibes are felt deep down inside, and hearing these glorious anthems always puts a smile on my face. As previously mentioned, you don't hear them that often, which is truly a pity. But thankfully I was reminded of this new mix, and now I'm not sad anymore. Especially when one of the most slept on anthems ever is in it: 'Floor Damage' by Darwin. He still is one of the finest producers out there, but back then, he surely made a mark on the scene. Maybe the young kid in the scene, but certainly one that you shouldn't underestimate. A wicked mix with so many memorable anthems. If a mix can make me feel younger again, you made a magical mix. And this second instalment is yet another successful one. Can't wait for the next one, if there is going to be another one. But if there are, please keep on releasing these mixes. Take me back in time, and do it NOW!

- The Best of Stock, Aitken & Waterman Vol 1 (2024)
If you've been following this website, you know I love a bit of cheese. A bit of cheese never hurts anyone. And when I found this mix, focussed on the legendary producing trio Stock, Aitken and Waterman, it made me happy. Just by reading the title it took me back to the 80s. And I'm an 80s boy. Born in 1983, the year of our Lord, and I can conssider mysef to be an 80s baby, even though I was only 7 years old when 1990 hit. I did live most of my youth through the 90s, but the 80s, come on, you had to have been alive to experience the awesomeness. The cheesier, the merrier, right? The 80s were good for that. And the music was slightly more innocent, compared to the present day top charting songs. And during the 80s, this trio dominated the charts all over the world. A handful of their songs were put in this appreciation mix, made by. Ste Mc Gee, His Trance mix got a review in February, and now this one deserves its own review. This trio has got more than 100 UK top 40 hitd, and their recognisable sound resonated with audiences all over the world. They will mostly be known for making hits for Jason Donovan, Kylie Minogue, Rick Astley, Mel & Kim, and the list goes on. They knew how to make a hit, and everyone loved their music. And Ste Mc Gee selected 13 of their records and mixed it together. This will certainly be a trip down memory lane for those old enough to have lived through the 80s! Sonia - You'll Never Stop Me Loving You (Extended Version) Kylie Minogue - What Do I Have To Do (Between The Sheets Mix) Scarlet Fantastic - No Memory (Dennis Christopher Remix) Sybil - The Love I Lost (Kenwork 2021 Club Mix) Kylie Minogue - Better The Devil You Know (Dave Ford Remix) Dead Or Alive - You Spin Me Round (Like A Record) (Metro 12'' Remix) Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up (Dario Caminita Remix) Donna Summer - This Time I Know It's For Real (Extended Version) Rick Astley - Together Forever (Disconet Remix) Bananarama - Venus (Dazwell Quantized Intro Edit) Gina G - Ooh Ahh (Just A Little Bit) (Dazwell Quantized Intro Edit) Lonnie Gordon - Happening All Over Again (Paul Morrell Extended Mix) Kylie Minogue - I Should Be So Lucky (Extended Version) This is a very interesting and different mix, because you might have spotted some different versions of all time classics. Not your standard top 40 hit, but a different version. And some are OK, and some are absolutely bonkers anthems! It's a nice mixture of new and old, all coming together nicely. To me, the old stuff is great. And it takes me back. The top 40 of the 80s is always something that you look back to, with fond memories. The music might have been a bit cheesier, happier, but that's the world we were living in. Life was different, and if you try to explain it to the kids, they would not believe it. We had top 40 songs where there was no swearing, and it was all about happy stuff. Not a great fan of Kylie, or Rick, or DOA, or any of these artists, but whatever my opinion might be, they have made songs which will remain classics until the end of days. And they are songs you hear everywhere. They are our safe songs. No one will dislike a playlist if these are the songs on there. But 'Happening All Over Again' is a big anthem for me, the biggest out of all of them. Yes, it's a newer version of this song, but it rocks. A very nice mix, and can't wait for volume 2. I want to hear more of these appreciation mixes, especially by a trio who we all know, but don't hear much together in one mix. Thanks Ste Mc Gee for this mix, I feel like a young chap again!

- DJ Delite HAS Mix February 2024
I've got no excuse. That's a weird way to start a review, right? Well, it seems that Unit Nine in MK is the place to be for a lot of UK Hardcore parties, and now I've moved from North London to Bedford, I'm literally next door to it (well, not THAT close), and I've not been yet. And there's one just around the corner, in July. A bit event, organised by H.A.S., and with a sick line-up: Sharkey B2B Kevin Energy, Sy B2B Nicky Blackmarket, Dougal B2B Scott Brown, and many more. Oh yeah, and as it's a UK Hardcore event, it's got some MCs too, if you are interested. To promote the brand and the event, DJ Delite has made this awesome mix with a lot of forgotten anthems in it. And I do mean it. This was the era when people either loved the music, or genuinely hated it. I loved it. This new wave of UK Hardcore was exactly what I needed. But what was it called? Did we call it Dubcore, or something similar? What was it called? Anyone? I do like myself a bit of different music, songs you don't hear that often, but when they are played at events, they still cause a lot of damage. And I know for a fact that if these are played in MK, they will get everyone hyped up to the fucking max. If I'd be there, this walrus would demolish the dancefloor. The tracklist looks very interesting, and according to DJ Delite, he tried to stay away from the usual mixes, which is good. This is a different mix, and I love it! Nero & Skrillex - Promises (Gammer Edit) Darren Styles - Bonfire Dougal & Gammer - Monster Gammer & Whizzkid- We Are The Vampires (Modulate Remix) Joey Riot vs CJ - Time 2 Burn Re-Con & Klubfiller - Good For Me (KF 2013 Re-work Remix) Styles, Breeze & Re-Con - Love Sick Crazy (Fracus & Darwin Remix) Squad-E - Stay Fracus, Gavin G feat Lisa A - Open Your Eyes To Love (Darwin Remix) Scott Brown - All About Elysium (Al Storm Remix) Scott Brown - Rock You Softly (UFO & Supreme Remix) Styles & Breeze - Slide Away (Eufeion Remix) Delite - See The Futureset (Bootleg) Anon - Use Somebody Anon - Warm Sauced Gammer & Dougal feat Hannah Faulkner - Knight In Shining Armour Gareth Emery feat Christina Novelli - Concrete Angel (Darren Styles & Chris Unknown Remix) Hixxy, Dougal & Gammer - Phaze 2 Phaze Anon - Anthem Darren Styles - Sober This is a very interesting tracklist, wouldn't you agree? DJ Delite indeed played a lot of songs you would not hear that often. And there's even a handful of songs in here I've not encountered before. The mix is an hour long, but you get 20 tracks. And if you are into UK Hardcore, you'll love it. So many obscure records. Well, until 'Knight In Shining Armour' and 'Concrete Angel' hits. Those were undeniably the biggest songs in the scene back in the day, right? I have to say that the first two Anon songs weren't my favourite ones. They, in my opinion, are a bit crap. But when the third Anon song starts, that's when I get extremely happy and excited, as I've not heard it in years, and it still rocks. That one and 'Sober', completely forgotten about, but oh so tasty. Amazing to hear them again after a long time. A very pleasant mix, and maybe it can persuade me to go to MK and start raving again. Who knows? What I do know is that time flies too damn fucking fast, and these songs are considered classics, when it only feels like yesterday they were released...

- Steve Dekay Showcase Mix (2024)
Back in 2017, I purchased an album by a legendary DJ and producer, Sied van Riel. His album was called 'Rielism Volume Four', and his album was such a welcomed addition to the already amazing compilations by Sied. A lot of the tracks stood out, but ''Nyctophilia'' by Steve Dekay was one of the most surprising songs on the album. Never encountered the name Steve Dekay before, I surely started listening to more of his stuff, and over the years I've been reviewing a few things he's been involved with. A name you should be following too. Unless you dislike Trance. I don't know much about Steve Dekay, but what I do know, is that every so often his songs crop up out of nowhere, and I'm amazed every time I hear them. He keeps me interested, and there are many fans of his music, including the one who made this showcase mix: Ian Jonno. His mix is roughly an hour and a half long, and you get a few of Steve's biggest hits. Unfortunately not the one which I adore the most, which is ''Nyctophilia''. But at least I've got Rielism Volume Four, eh? What can we expect from this mix? To be in Trance Heaven, that's for sure. And a lot of extended versions of wicked anthems. No radio edits here. Who needs them anyway? Throw them in the bin. If the radio won't play these songs fully, then don't play them at all. Don't be silly, and shorten wicked tracks. Only full extended tracks here. And they are all Steve Dekay tracks, so you will be very pleased after the hour and 24 minutes. I know I was, the first time I heard this mxi. Steve Dekay - Dimorphis (Extended Mix) Steve Dekay - Mistica (Extended Mix) Steve Dekay - PLAYED-A-Live (Extended Mix) Steve Dekay - Crystal Eyes (Extended Mix) Steve Dekay - Colossal (Extended Mix) Mark Sherry & Steve Dekay - Smiler (Extended Mix ) Steve Dekay - Twilight Rave (Extended Mix) Steve Dekay - Dancing In The Masquerade (Extended Mix) Steve Dekay - Oblivion (Extended Mix) Steve Dekay & H.M.B.L. - Starship (Original Mix) Steve Dekay & Ronniee - Signs (Extended Mix) Steve Dekay & Proyal - Soundscape (Extended Mix) Steve Dekay - Black Magic (Extended Mix) Ralphie B - Massive (Steve Dekay Extended Remix) Steve Dekay & Jan Miller - Melodrama (Abstract Vision Extended Remix) Steve Dekay & Hit The Bass - Purification (Extended Mix) Steve Dekay - Focus (Extended Mix) Steve Dekay - Beliefs (Extended Mix) Steve Dekay - Acid Rain (Extended Mix) Oh, this is a very pleasant mix to listen to, with a lot of excellent records. The tracklist mix not be 100% correct, but if I made a mistake, please let me know. But all in all, this is a fantastic mix with so many great anthems in here. I was going to complain more about the missing epic anthems, until I heard Steve Dekay's remix of 'Massive'. Yep, that gets my vote. The original was dope, this is even better than the original. Don't know how that is even physically possible. It's a very solid mix, and Ian Jonno has done the artist justice by selecting these 19 records. The mix is very good, and you can get a glimpse of what Steve Dekay has to offer. And what he does offer, is wicked Trance anthems. You cannot complain at all, unless you really dislike Trance. But otherwise you surely must love this mix and what Steve's music does to you. Go and check it out! An hour and 24 minutes of Steve Dekay, can't go wrong there!

- Sied van Riel - In Riel Time (2009)
10 years ago an album was released on my birthday, that changed my life. Don't know how I found this, but I do know that it was the trailer video for it that persuaded me to get it. At the time I wasn't aware of who he was (Sied van Riel), but this promo video got my attention. In only a handful of seconds, Sied's video grabbed me, held me, and it embraced me. So the most logical step was to buy it. I went to my local CD store in Heerlen, and they ordered it, and it got delivered a few days later. My life changed after I listened to it for the first time. To be fair, it was released on my birthday, but seeing as I'm always too damn late and kind of slow, I only got it in November of that year. How do I know? Because I immediately ripped it onto my hard drive, and the album was put on my computer without titles, only burn date and time name. But it completely changed me, and Sied gained another fan. I was expecting a very cool and good album, but what I got instead was an album so awesome and touching/moving, it became my most favourite CD of that year, or even a few years. It was my most favourite Trance CD for years, until Sied van Riel rieliesed his 'Rielism Four' album, which is still the best CD I've ever heard. Sied was about to change my life with this cleverly titled album (and a wicked cover picture). The music rocked. And when TCD says it, he means it. Sied takes you on a musical journey through Progressive House, Trance, and Progressive Trance, and he doesn't let you go. You only realise when the CD is finished that you have soiled yourself, and that you had the best eargasm in years. And another added bonus: no short edited records, only the full works: the shortest record is 3:35 long! That's a really cool thing, the longer you hear records, the longer you can feel the power behind the record. So you are probably curious what you can find on this album. I'm guessing that a physical copy cannot be retrieved anywhere and you have to get it from your digital stores (not a user of digital stores, I'd like to hold my music), but trust me when I say that you really need this album. And 'Rielism Four'. But enough chit chat, here's the tracklist. CD 1 01. Alex Sayz feat Antonia Lucas - Fascination (Alaa Remix) 02. Paul Rigel - Orion 03. Oryon - Rocket Science 04. Dash Berlin with Cerf, Mitiska & Jaren - Man On The Run (Nic Chagall Remix) 05. Dakota - Chinook 06. Sander van Doorn presents Purple Haze - Bliksem 07. Mac & Mac - Solid Session (First State Remix) 08. Daniel Wanrooy & Rene Havelaar - B52 09. Ron van den Beuken - Timeless 2009 Remixes (Ron vd Beuken vs Maarten de Jong Edit) 10. Robert Gitelman - Rockless (Jan Oostdyk Remix) 11. Sied van Riel - Mongoosed 12. Jordan Suckley - The Storm! 13. Ummet Ozcan vs W&W - Synergy 14. Count Sinca - Space Cow (Exit Remix) CD 2 01. Claes Rosen - Genuine 02. Masoud feat Jose - Leave It All Behind 03. Whelan & Di Scala - Cuba 04. Atlantic Drift - Love Will Find A New Day (Dean Fichna Dub) 05. Radion 6 - Ultra Disko 06. Simmons & Blanc - Something About You 07. Breakfast - Air Guitar 08. Sied van Riel - MME 09. Jan Oostdyk - Eivissa Eivissa 10. Dave 202 - Departure 11. RAM - Call It A Night 12. Mark Sixma & Willem van Hanegem - Terminal 69 13. Ferry Corsten feat Maria Nayler - We Belong (Tritonal Air Up There Remix) This album is divine. Heavenly. Name it whatever you fancy, but to me it's the ultimate relax album. If I want to relax, I always put this album on, and release the inner demons. This album always calms me down, and makes everything just perfect. Sitting in the car for 2 hours, driving from work? This album does the trick. It makes the journey go by so quickly, I don't even remember ever getting in the blooming car! The power behind this album can only be credited to the man himself: Sied van Riel. The way he composed this album and the way he selected each record, it just makes this album perfect. It does fit in beautifully, and there's not one moment during this mix compilation that someone should become bored or uninterested. Sied made damn sure that the music kept the listeners hooked. Both CDs have got slammers on it. On disc one it was difficult for me to pick one out because there are several monster anthems. 'Rocket Science', 'Mongoosed', 'B52', 'Bliksem'... all great tracks, but 'The Storm!' by Jordan Suckley is just a masterpiece. On disc two it was slightly easier to pick my favourite, because this one track just grabbed my attention from the start, and 10 years later I still find it a highly rated anthem: 'Ultra Disko' by Radio 6. The build up during this record is just something from outer space! You get 5 minutes and 15 seconds of music that makes you feel so enlightened. Nothing can compare. A wonderful album. I came across the trailer video on Youtube the other day, and I thought that a review should be required, to get the message across: Sied van Riel's album is a genuine masterpiece. If I'd had a 'top 100 album you need to listen to before you die', it would be on there. Sied, you are a boss. Your albums are just so darn good. Are you God? Never knew God looked like Ross from Friends. But on a serious note, Sied pleases the listeners so much with each compilation he has released, he only increases our craving for more. So let's hope Sied is rieliesing new albums soon: we need more and more. Ps. underneath this you can find the promo video for the album. Worth checking out and getting the album. A masterpiece.

- Sied van Riel Presents Rielism Volume Four (2017)
As a regular visitor of the greatest review website in the world (voted as number 1 by my mother) you have seen over the years my dedication towards specific artists, artists who deserve not only the biggest stages in the world, but a Knighthood/Damehood. One of these artists is Sied van Riel. A huge fan I am, and am proud to be part of the Rielly fans. Since I discovered him many years ago, I have been attracted to his passion and dedication to showcase awesome Trance music to the world. It's only a pity that he doesn't come to London that often, rielly wish I could hear him play his music. His album got reviewed before. But because I lost everything, I have to do it again. But that's no problem for me, seeing as I rate this album highly. So high, I consider it to be one of the greatest albums ever made! It will not be number 1 (that goes out to Sensation White 2002), but it's definately in the top 5. Every time I want to hear good music, I fall back towards this album. It never, and I do mean NEVER disappoints me. Sied van Riel's fourth instalment contains so many underrated yet memorable Trance anthems, and they still remain excellent. Can't believe this album as rieliesed 2 years ago. And I still listen to certain tracks on a daily basis. That's insane. But, that's the power of Sied. The power of Rielism. And the power behind this well composed album. Two discs of marvellous music. Couldn't wish for anything else. I've been happy since the day I received it. And I do love to share my enthusiasm for it. Hell, I walk around with my Rielism shirt, proud as a peacock. And whenever someone asks me which album they should purchase, it's always this one. Rielism Volume Four. A masterpiece, highly underrated. Time for a tracklist. You've seen it before, and I've typed it before. But it still remains eyewateringly beautiful. CD 1 01. T.F.F. & Steve Carniel - Cyclone 02. Eloquentia - Space Invader 03. RAMiNiO & Sam Laxton - Ximena 04. Sied van Riel - Rush (Sied van Riel Rielism Remix) 05.

Sied van Riel - Sirena (Mike Sanders Remix) 20. Amine Maxwell - Her Soul (Extended Mix) This mixed album doesn't take any prisoners. This is beyond anything I've heard in a long time. And it's fucking excellent! The quality is something we don't see that often, and even after about 2 years this album still sounds (and smells) fresh. Like it was only rieliesed yesterday. Which 2017 basically was. But the shameful thing is that you don't see these tracks appear a lot in mixes. When they really should. It's a shame. An album which makes me feel SO emotional, is that genuinely possible? Yes, is the answer. I do feel so many things at the same time, and cannot hide my tears with some records. Powerful Trance music. Yes, some are just straight forward dark Trancey stuff, but some do take you to levels you haven't been to before. Heaven? Pff, higher than that! You are in God's seat! You are looking upon the masses. That's what this album does to me. I shall break it down to two favourite records, seeing as there are two discs: on disc one I'm truly in love with three records, 'Avalon' by Nikolauss, 'Nyctophilia' by Steve Dekay and 'Elantria' by Omniks & Wonder Element. Judging the amount of plays I've got to give 'Avalon' the pole position. A wonderful record with literally everything perfect: it ticks all the boxes of being a timeless masterpiece. The second disc on the album also has a few amazing records, the two I really liked the most are 'Heliopause' by Robert Nickson and 'Rivella' by Sied van Riel and Richard Durand. I can't pick, I simply can't pick. OK, 'Heliopause' it is. But closely followed by 'Rivella'. One of the best mixed albums ever made. So damn great, would give it 6 out of 5 stars. But for now let's remain at 5, before we mess up the space-time continuum. I wanted to add the whole playlist, but that has disappeared on Soundcloud. But it's worth it, trust me. Get this album RIGHT NOW if you want to experience Heaven on Earth. Update 27.04.24: as I could not find the playlist on Soundcloud anymore, here are the Continuous mixes, taken from YouTube.

- More Rave Muzik!! (2024)
It is Saturday, and many of us have chores to do. You need something hard and rough, yet energetic enough to give you that push. Have I got something nice for you all to listen to, if you love Rave music? Or as they call it, Rave Muzik. How diverse, how inventive. How cool. But all jokes aside, it is pretty cool that Rave, the kind of music I grew up with, is still kept alive. And Rave Muzik is one of those labels you need to look out for, as they released fucking epic stuff. I was under the impression that I had already reviewed a Rave Muzik mix before, but I cannot seem to find it. Apologies for the delay then, but I genuinely thought I had already written something about the label and it's music. At least I'm not too late, eh? Well, thanks to DJ Skyline's latest mix, which contains records from Rave Muzik's latest compilation, whcih is called 'Crusade Of Rave, Vol.3'. As far as I understood it, the label just focusses on Rave music, and has no boundaries. As long as it sounds like it 'could' have been made in the 90s, they will look at it and maybe release it. And you all know how much this reviewer LOVES the 90s, especially when it comes to my childhood music. So, instead of me talking about things that are irrelevant, let us dive straight into the tracklist: Doctor D - Revelation Stormtrooper & Zion - So Happy Andy James - Take Me Back DJ Elmo - We're The Generation Mike Smash - Unsettled Emotions (Rave Mix) Project XTC - Take Off T-Go - Dream Team Is Here Project XTC - X-Plosion Denny Lee - Rock Da Beat DJ Jacko - All I want DJ Elmo - Don't Go Andy James - Those Days Project XTC - Bass Feelings DJ Elmo - The Beginning DJ Neon & Ecibel - Goes Purge You might be looking at this tracklist and not have a clue who these artists are. Not to worry, it's all about the music. And if you are ready to be transported back to the 90s, Skyline has got you covered. It seems to be happening lately more than ever before: the 90s are being kept alive. Or being talked about, revitalised, and now it's better than ever before! And hearing this mix for the first time, I knew that it contained some big hits, that could have been released in the 90s, but weren't made back then. Hell, I don't even know if the artists were around during the 90s. I did find this mix highly enjoyable, especially when 'Take Me Back' by Andy James got played, and 'Take Off' by Project XTC. Boy, are these two songs the most nostalgic ones in this mix! I felt like I was a teenager again. They rocked, they certainly rocked. If a song can make me feel young again, it gets all the points imaginable! Dope two songs. All in all a wicked mix by Skyline, and wicked songs released on a wicked label, Rave Muzik. I will be looking out for more, but if they keep doing what they do best, it will be a pleasant future for us all. Keep the 90s alive, forever and ever!

- 1994 - 1995 Old Skool Jungle Mix (Mickey Beam) (2024)
I always like to go back in time. When it comes to music, the older the better it is. Well, technically speaking that's not true, as I'm not a fan of cavemen (and women) music. But when I say old, I mean the 80s and 90s. Especially Dance music genres, like Jungle. Drum & Bass, Breakbeat, and the list goes on. I love to hear those glorious anthems again, and sometimes you do find specific channels on Soundcloud you just follow in an instance. Mickey Beam's channel is one of those that you just jump on immediately after hearing one of his mixes. And whenever new stuff is released, you are on it! As it's lit. Whenever I see a new mix, I jump straight on it. And this one is slightly different, as it's a mix dedicated to 1994 and 1995, but it's a short one, but it certainly packs a punch. Powerful 40 minutes of Jungle anthems 30 years old (roughly). You wouldn't believe it, because they. are still extremely fresh sounding, and they still do a lot of damage in clubs and at events. Everyone loves the 90s music, including yours truly. It's yet another amazing mix with some sick anthems. The first review of today had a lot of anthems I've not heard before, but with this one, all the songs are known. And loved too. And they should be played more often. But truth be told: these anthems were made 30 years ago, but they still resonate with crowds all over the world. A lost generation's voice is still kept alive, and for that I thank those that keep it alive. We need more mixes like this one. But which ones are in this mix? Curious yet? The X - New Dawn (1St Files Remix) MA2 - Hearing Is Believing DRS feat Kenny Ken - Everyman (DJ Monk Remix) Remarc - R.I.P. (Original Mix) Krome & Time - The License (Krome & Time Remix) Krome & Time - Ganja Man Dubplate Special (Original Mix) Splash - Babylon DJ Exodus & Head Exposure - Rude Boy Dem Harmony & Extreme - Wicked & Bad L Double & Liccle D feat MC Det - Dub Plate Special Stakka & K Tee - Rugged & Raw Asend - The Dreamer Cool Hand Flex - Mercy Mercy Dopestyle - You Must Think First DJ Hype - Computerised Cops Roni Size & Krust - Formulate Dextrous & H-Pee - Hot Flame The Undercover Agent & Kriminal - World Mash Up (Original Mix) Shut & Up Dance - Bastarrds There is something mesmerising with mixes like this one. I do love them, and cannot stop listening to them. And the more I listen to them, the more I get hooked. Hence why I always go back to Mickey's Soundcloud channel, to see if he's uploaded new mixes. The more, the merrier. Even when they are only 39 minutes long. It's not the length that matters, it's the power of each anthem united into one mix that makes it worth while. The harmony of each song in this mix is tremendous, and it blends well together. The mix is only a short one, but it's powerful enough for you to keep on listening to it over and over again. There are so many awesome anthems in here, but for once I'm not going to talk about a song. I want to talk about the transition between 'Ganja Man Dubplate Special' and 'Babylon'. That is one sexy transitioning bit. It is seriously insane, and once 'Babylon' hits, that's when all changes, but the transition is just super dope. Another wicked mix by Mickey Beam. I suspect we will see and hear more in the future. Stay locked, and make sure you follow Mickey!!

- Essential Deep Session #11 (2024)
The week is split in half. And I'm working from home. That means: speaker volume on max, and something nice to listen to. I could have played the usual: harder style mixes. But I woke up today, wanting something more 'mellow' and chilled. The obvious choice would be to listen to Jazz, but I'm not feeling that mellow just yet. Maybe something similar, as in being extremely chill, but a bit more groovy, a bit more House-y? There we go, found the answer. Deep House. And that's what I've been listening to from the second I woke up this morning. Looking back at that decision, to listen to a Deep House mix, was a good decision. I am now here, sitting behind my laptop, extremely chilled. Nothing in the world that can harm me. I feel utter bliss. And that's the power of Deep House. It takes you to a happy place you never want to leave. And my happy place is a cocktail bar in Greece, where they would play this music. I close my eyes and I'm sitting there, enjoying the nice Summer breeze, with a nice cocktail in one hand, and in the other, a few crisps. Life could not be any better. I don't follow the scene that much, so I'm not familiar with all the artists involved. So apologies in advance for not knowing any of the songs in this mix, or the DJ who made this mix. I found it because someone reposted it. The mix, as you can see from the image above, was made by NiDeX, and it's the eleventh instalment. Not heard or seen the previous ones, I go straight into this eleventh edition, with an open mind, and a very rested mind. The set is an hour long, but what can you expect? Dot Tap - Lets Get Higher (Original Mix) Aquadeep & Veesoul - Tell Me What You Want (Original Mix) Hurlee - Silence Klaus Veen - Native Sounds Mark Hawkins - The Phoenix Part 1 CEV's - Living In A Dream (Zetbee Remix) Tenobi - What You Need (Richard Earnshaw Revision) Ruff Stuff - Still Warm Din Jay - Good Inside Retromigration - Don't Get Burned A very short tracklist, and all the names are unknown to me. And when I say all of them, I do mean it. Not a single name rings a bell in my head. It's nice to hear new stuff, and in a way a blessing, as it keeps me focussed, and interested in music that's out there, that I haven't discovered yet. And there's a shit ton out there for me to discover. But until then, let's focus on this mix. NiDeX made this mix, and it's a good, solid mix. An hour long, and the finest, grooviest anthems you could find. This will surely put a smile on your face, and makes you want to go to your happy place. I feel so relaxed, I could just go back to sleep. I'm not going to, but I could. Carefully mixed together, you get a wonderful hour long mix. And I can only give appreciation to the man who made this mix. A solid hour, which has been on repeat since 6am. I loved this mix from the first time I listened to it in its entirety, and even now, after the fifth play, I'm still finding this mix awesome. Worth a listen. And it's got a very soulful song in here I like. 'What You Need'. What I need, is that song on repeat! I'll definitely check out the other 10 editions. If they are as good as this one, I will be a very happy bunny!

- Jez Toon - Classic Trance Favourites 4 (2024)
The weekend has landed. And for those that go out tonight, have a brilliant night out. Go out, and stay safe. For those that aren't going out, let's stay indoors, and listen to some awesome music. I've been listening to a lot of music this week, and one of those mixes was made by Jez Toon. His mix is the fourth instalment in this series, and the focus is on Trance classics. You might know him from his Jez Toon alias or his Syntax Error alias. But no matter which alias you know, it's all about the music, and the music you are about to listen to, is awesome. Trance music. Can't go wrong with that, right? I've not heard the previous three mixes, but I'm sure that I'll go to his Soundcloud channel later during the upcoming week and check them out. Maybe they are solid mixes too with a diverse tracklist, or even better? Or worst. No one knows until they actually sit down and listen to them all. But hearing Trance classics isn't something that I don't do that often. I do it regularly, so why does this mix stand out? Well, as a Trance lover, I was surprised to find a few unknown records in this mix. And that's always an added bonus. Hearing tracks for the first time, even though they've been around for donkey's years. Never too late to appreciate, right? So which anthems did Jez Toon select? Any that you might find interesting? Frankie Goes To Hollywood - The Power Of Love (Rob Searle Mix) Blue Horizon - The Journey Age Of Love - The Age Of Love (Marc Et Claude Remix) Armin van Buuren presents Alibi - Eternity Svenson & Gielen - The Beauty Of Silence Rhythm Of Life - You Put Me In Heaven With Your Touch (Lange Remix) Agenda - Heaven (Lange Remix) Airscape - L'esperanza (Svenson Mix) Ayu - M (Above & Beyond Vocal Mix) Evoke - Arms Of Loren (Ferry Corsten Remix) Fridge - Paradise (Nu-Gray Remix) Human Evolution - Human Evolution Balearic Bill - Destination Sunshine (Original Mix) Brothers Space - Driving Faces Green Court - Follow Me (DJ JamX & DeLeon presents Dumonde Remix) Parker & Clind - Generator (Power Club Mix) Nice. This is a very nice mix. If you were looking for some awesome Trance classics, I think you don't need to look further. If you do, why not check out the other three mixes he has done. But, before we go any further, I have to admit something. And I might be the only one. I genuinely dislike the first record. The original is piss wet, and this remix doesn't make it any better. I find the original boring, and not a good song. So this song is my 'hell no' song of this mix. Sorry Jez Toon. But which one rocks the most? Well, that's a no brainer: 'Paradise'. That is just an all time classic, slightly underrated. But what a powerful anthem it is! I move most of my limbs when this song is on. A very good mix, with a 'meh' song to start with. Sorry, but I have to deduct some points for that. But besides that, it's a highly entertaining mix. Worth your time, and when you do love the first song, it's a solid mix for you.

- 1994 Vol. 2 (2024)
Let's go back in time, to the year 1994. I was only 11, so too young to go clubbing/raving. But I was listening ferociously to dance music, and I was all into Hardcore. Not too much into UK Hardcore, also known as Breakbeat Hardcore, that would come later. But it was mainly Dutch Hardcore, and sometimes Happy Hardcore. I've got a lot to learn, still to this day, but thankfully there's plenty of mixes on Soundcloud for me to listen to. And today I'm listening to DareErickson's mix, which has got some amazing records from 1994. What a wonderful year it must have been, being in UK clubs and 'illegal' raves, experiencing this. The music was dope. And I'm constantly reminded of the fact that I was too young to understand the music, and go out to enjoy myself. I had to sit at home and watch cartoons on TV. What a life to lead, eh? Looking back, I would have liked to be a bit older and go out, but things didn't turn out that way, nor have we got the capabilities to go back in time and change things. At least we've got the music, right? The mix you are going to listen to, has got some big hitting anthems. Most of them are known, like 80%, but there are still a few in here I've not heard before, but I'm happy to have finally discovered them, as they are true anthems. They make me want to dig out the glowsticks and whistles, and go out. Guessing the glowsticks have stopped working, and the whistle is probably been thrown away. Ah hell, at least we've got Amazon. I feel an order might happen soon. Until then, let's focus on the mix and the year of 1994. Let's go back in time, reminisce. The Timespan - Stop The Music Mercurial - Feel The Energy Edit V - Burning Love Higher Level - Higher Spirits Trotski & Mercy - Forgotten Souls DJ Force & The Evolution - Perfect Dreams (Vibes & Wishdokta Remix) Jimmy J & Cru-L-T - Take Me Away (Slipmatt Remix) Sy & Unknown - Let The Bass Kick DJ Dougal & Ravemaster Vibes - Feel Free Jimmy J & Cru-L-T - Six Days (DJ Brisk Remix) Remarc & Lewi Cifer - Da Vibes (Remix) DJ Seduction - Sample-Mania SMD - SMD #4 (A) Dougal & Mickey Skeedale - Sky High Just Another Artist - Rhythm Wow. An amazing mix that will make you happy. Maybe, if you were already happy, you might even more happier. But that's the power behind these anthems. DareErickson has selected a shit ton of amazing records, and from the start it is a wicked showcase of excellent music, released in 1994. It was a good year, as these songs were doing some pretty damage on the dancefloors. And now, 30 years later, they are still doing enough damage. But this time it's only my eardrums which are suffering, but clearly I do not care, as you cannot listen to this music when the volume is low. It needs to be HIGH as Hell. I do love the 90s Happy Hardcore sound that came from the UK. You had some wicked anthems, and one of them made its way onto this mix. 'Da Vibes'. This is just my kind of Happy Hardcore, and it's a glorious anthem. A wicked selection by DE. Can only provide love and appreciation for the mix, and for the year 1994. What a wicked year it was for music in general, but for the UK Hardcore/Happy Hardcore scene, it was tremendous. And it would only get better and better!

- Benny Rodrigues Live @ Sensation, Amsterdam Arena 01-07-2006
Sensation 2006. One that I did not attend. Which is unfortunate, but the tickets were sold out too damn quick. The reason for that? Well, there was one specific DJ on the list, which got everyones attention: Tiësto. Yes, it was during the golden years for this DJ, that every event he attended, was sold out before you knew it. But it was a killer line-up, if I'm being honest: Benny Rodrigues, David Guetta, Erick E, Ferry Corsten, ROOG, Sander Kleinenberg, Steve Angello, and MC Gee. As standard, the dresscode was white, and it was held in the Amsterdam Arena. I wish I was there, but at least I've been to a Sensation before. I just had to miss this one. I did however, listen to the whole event. It was during the internets glory years. When you would 'secretly' listen to livesets or download songs from dodgy websites, just to get your fix. I'm not ashamed to admit it, that I have spent a lot of hours browsing the world wide web, to see what was available to me. And I remember Sensation 2006. Also Tiësto in Concert, but that wasn't on the internet, but live on Radio 3FM. I stayed up all night, recording the whole thing on cassettes. Could have spent my time differently, not knowing the set would be online one day, but those were the days. The set you are about to listen to, was once downloaded by yours truly, maybe a bit illegally? Sorry about that. But when I did discover this set, I was blown away by how awesome it still was, years after the set was aired online. And it took me many years to find it, but thankfully it has made its way to Soundcloud. I was extremely happy when I found this one. Yes, knowing now downloading is illegal, but you cannot imagine the world we all lived in. It was different, and a tad exciting. But what's more exciting is Benny Rodrigues' set. What a blinding set. With some 'comments' from the one sharing it with the internet. But those were the days. The tracklist is incomplete: if you do know the missing titles, please leave a comment below: ID - ID ID - ID Steve Angello & Sebastian Ingrosso - Click Joe T Vannelli feat Rochelle Fleming - Get It On (Joe T Vannelli Dubby Remix) Plastikman - Spastik w/ Josh Wink - Don't Laugh Paul Woolford presents Bobby Peru - Erotic Discourse Steve Angello - Teasing Mr. Charlie Sebastian Leger - Take Your Pills w/ Masters At Work - Work Nick & Danny Chatelain - Is Killing Me Joris Voorn - MPX309 Solid Groove - This Is Sick D.H.S. - House Of God ID - ID ID - ID Speedy J - Pullover ID - ID Not sure if the whole tracklist is correct, but what I do know, is that the one song that I like the most, is untitled. Well, it's not named, so if you do know the last song in this mix, please share it with me, as I've been interested in it for 18 years. This is one of the coolest sets ever done by Benny Rodrigues. I thoroughly loved the sets he did during the Millennium years, and this set is proof why he was at Sensation. Not just because he's a DJ, but he's one EXCELLENT DJ and knows exactly what the crowd wants to hear. He might have ended the night, but he made sure that the people who were there, weren't in a hurry leaving. This is in my top 10 of all time sets. And I love the fact that when you think it is over, he throws in a few more songs, darker songs. Maybe to get people ready for the next event taking place the week after, Sensation Black? I do admire this set, and this one goes with me into my grave. Whenever I hear the first chords, I know that it's Benny's set, and I know I won't be disappointed. Such a tremendous set, and if you want to have a glimpse of what I listened to, 18 years ago, let this mix be your guide. Please, if you do know the missing titles, let me know. I've been trying to find the titles, but simply cannot find them. And Shazam is useless. Leave a comment below, much appreciated!

- Take #18 - It's Always Sunny In DeVida (2024)
A few months ago, back in January 2024, Rígur Lárus uploaded a mix, which was kind of dedicated to Arnold Schwarzenegger. You could have predicted the follow up celebrity which would be on the stage. It is Danny DeVito. You might know him from so many films he played in, and there are simply too many to mention. He also played in the TV hit series ''It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia'', which I thoroughly enjoyed when it was on. I didn't watch it until the last season though, because it became a bit meh toward the end. But still a highly successful and funny show. And Danny coming out of that sofa, butt naked, still haunts my dreams. I am not a huge fan of Danny. He's OK. But I would not go out to see him in a movie. Just to see a movie specifically for him is a bit much to ask for. He's (to me) an actor that you can see that he's acting. But again, everyone's entitled to have their own opinion. You might think he's the best, and that's cool. But is it really the main focus of this mix? Is it all about Danny, or is there more to this? Well, there's certainly more to this mix than meets the eye. You need to stick through, and wait until the intro is over, and that's when the magic happens. Rígur Lárus goes all out yet again, and has put together yet another long mix: 2 1/2 hours of Rígur Lárus. It will be very pleasurable, right? He always selects the records I've not encountered before, and it turns out to be always highly recommendable and enjoyable. So it's time for the very long tracklist, here it is: Joep Mencke & Ben Juno - Symphony Vicky Montefusco - Prosopopea (Auggie Remix) Pretty Pink feat Christian Burns - Lost & Found (Tim Engelhardt Remix) Lost Witness - Red Sun Rising (Michael Cassette Remix) Joris Voorn - Horizon (Original Mix) Eelke Kleijn - Regenerator (Extended Mix) Andhim - You're Not Alone (Extended) Tenvin - Thru (Original Mix) Olivier Giacomotto - Falling (Extended Mix) 8Kays, Juan Hansen - Falling Down (Colyn & Beswerda Remix) Cherry & Groove Shack - Black Moon (Extended Mix) Marsh - Warrior (Extended Mix) Highlite - Upon Reflection (Original Mix) Last Men Of Earth - Arrested On Vacation (Original Mix) Tal Fussman - Don't Want (Original Mix) Adana Twins & Upercent - Falling (Original Mix) If I? - Horizon (Original Mix) Solee - On The Other Side (Original Mix) Goom Gun - Sun Goes Down (Extended Mix) Sascha Braemer - Sernique (Original Mix) Marc DePulse - Slave (Original Mix) Tiga & Kölsch - Hand In Hand (Jonathan Kaspar Remix) Shiffer - Feary Tale (Original Mix) Reflekt feat Delline Bass - Need To Feel Loved (Rose Ringed Remix) Paride Saraceni - Crystal Way Nihil Young & Andrea Martin feat Luke Coulson - Through The Shadows (Extended Mix) Cornelius SA - Cumulonimbus (Extended Mix) Patrick Ruprecht - Voices In My Head (Marc DePulse Remix) Peer Kusiv - Hope (Original Mix) Eynka - First Light (Original Mix) Jono Stephenson - Colours In The Sky (Mark Hoffen 2AM Deconstruction Mix) Oliver Moldan - Beauty In L.A. (Main Mix) Maceo Plex feat Ishi - Moon Sky (House Version) Tim Engelhardt & Solique - Alive (Original Mix) WhoMadeWho - Children (Mind Against & Dyzen Remix) It's yet another very melodic mix, with some hard hitting anthems. And yes, every so often Danny comes along and says something silly, but thankfully those moments are sporadic. It's all about the music, and it's yet another wicked one. He keeps on delivering awesome, but very weird mixes. I still find the concept different, but so am I (different), so it does suit me quite well. There are quite a few awesome records that stood out from the rest. One of them being 'Hand In Hand', 'Cumulonimbus', but the one that got me dancing the hardest, is 'Horizon'. Oh balls, I need to specify which one, as there are two songs with the same title'. I meant the Joris Voorn song. Brilliant song. I do love the very melodic vibe of this mix, and throughout it has been a blessing in disguise, hearing these very awesome songs come at you through your speakers. The DJ knows what to play to please the listeners, and he only plays the tracks that would fit in beautifully. The result might be a big of a long mix, but it's worth your time. Yet another successful mix. Can't wait for the next one, but I have to. Who is going to be the next actor he's going to pick? Maybe Ryan Reynolds? Maybe Brad Pitt? Maybe Chris Pratt? There are too many to choose from, but whatever individual is selected, I'll still be hyped enough for the next instalment.

- Mike Air Presents Spring House Classics - April 2024
It is Friday, and the weekend is about to land! Yes, we've made it through another long and arduous week. But now we can relax, and unwind. We need something that can us going, and give us the right amount of energy. The mix you are about to listen to, has got just the right amount of energy. And before you get excited, a reminder that this mix is filled with House classics that are roughly 20 years old. But still loved by all that have got a good taste in music. I consider myself someone with a good taste, and thankfully the majority of people that I know will love this mix too. After a quick hiatus that was left behind after Hardcore went underground, I decided to go back to my roots, and this is when House music was really everywhere. The tracks you are about to listen to were big back in the Millennium years, and they are still highly recommended to this day. Oh how I love the Millennium dance music. This is really timeless music. They still go down well in clubs all over the world. And you know the songs are good when even your parents like them. Mike Air, the man behind this mix, kindly reminded me of its existence. So I jumped right on it, and I wasn't ready for it. Seriously, this man awesome records in one mix. It brings back so many memories. At first I thought I was listening to a mix CD released by ID&T, as they had these songs on them, but oh no, I was wrong. This is a freshly made mix for all that are ready for the Spring/Summer of 2024. We need a bit of heat, to fully enjoy these songs. The Supermen Lovers feat Mani Hoffman - Starlight Junior Senior - Move Your Feet (Original Mix) Cassius - 99 (Original Mix) Santos - Camels (Edit) Plaything - Into Space (Original Mix) The Ones - Flawless (Phunk Investigation Vocal Mix) Till West & DJ Delicious - Same Man (Original) Planet Funk - Chase The Sun (Extended Club Mix) Supercar - Tonite (Extended Mix) Modjo - Chillin' (Modjo's Dyrt Remix) Love Connection - The Bomb (Triple X Club Mix) Raven Maize & Dave Lee - The Real Life (Club Mix) Static Revenge - Happy People (Original 12'' Mix) Pete Heller - Big Love (The Dronez Mix) Milky - Just The Way You Are (Original Extended Mix) It feels like I'm back, in 2001. This makes me feel extremely young, and brings back so many memories. So many festivals, so many dancefloors visited. And the amount of compilations that had these songs on them. Hell, I even had a few on CD-single! The ones I had on single (I am THAT old) were Cassius, Santos, and Planet Funk. Those were the songs that dominated my youth, and even to this day I feel warm inside whenever I hear these songs. Mike Air's selection is really great, and I love the soulfulness of all the songs. Music was slightly more focussed on the Summer, and people were in a better world, a much happier world. Dancing until the Sun comes on the horizon, celebrating a new day happening. Oh, the golden years, I miss them. There are so many well known songs in here, and a few forgotten ones too. And if you have been following our site for a few years now, you know that my wife isn't a fan of most of the stuff I listen to. But this mix gets a thumbs up from her, and that's saying something. We both highly recommend this mix, and when 'Just The Way You Are' is played, that's when all happiness lands into our souls. Singing along throughout the mix, but that song is just the most catchiest of them all, right? Go and enjoy the weekend, and let this be the one that guides you through not just the weekend, but gets you one step closer to the Summer of 2024!

- The Core Of Madness EP175 - GPF Tribute Hardcore Mix (2024)
GPF. I've been following them for many years, and have said many things about them, but there's now this decisive line between haters and lovers. You either hate or love them. You might think that what they do is pollute the airwaves with their nonsense music, or you think they are the dogs bollocks, and think that whatever they release, is amazing. Well, I'm a fan of their quirky stuff. They aren't your standard Hardcore/Uptempo Hardcore songs But if you hate them, you cannot say anything positive about them, as it's a joke. I get it, but lighten up: if people want to hear them, and those people have got a great time, so should we all. But I get it. It might give Hardcore a bad name. And I'm all for recognition. The scene deserves so much more, but every so often, you need to lighten up, be a bit happier, and embrace the quirkiness. GPF does bring that, and much more. Not a fan of them taking the mic and blabbering non stop, but it's an act, right? Wouldn't want a cucumber shoved in my throat either, but what I do want to hear, is the music out loud, fucking my eardrums up. Sapher's latest tribute mix is dedicated to GPF, if you haven't noticed it already. It's an hour of GPF. All and everything GPF. And there's a lot of it. Wasn't expecting 37 records to be thrown at me in an hour, but worst things have happened over the years. Including meeting one half of GPF and not the other half. Thankfully nothing sexual happened to me, but yeah. 5 years ago I went to see them. 5 years. My God. Time does fly by too damn quickly. Sometimes it makes me wonder how their minds work. How they release a song called 'Piepi Piepi Papa Papa' and get away with it. Or so many sexually tinted songs. Like, everything is sex to them. Hell, just think of their name: Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz! Can't get any filthier than that! Ready for an hour of greaze? Caine & Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz - Kendal Duck Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz - Puppet Fuckerz Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz - Harmony Of Fuck Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz - Greazy Fuckdrum GPF - Miracle GPF & Kutski - Stare Into My Eyes Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz & D-Fence - Virgin Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz x Qriminal x MC Ludo - Greazy Anarchy!

They are weird as fuck, but oh so enjoyable. I can say in all honesty that I've never encountered an act that made me laugh out so loud before. Hell, I even introduced them to my family, who think that I should be institutionalised. I am clinically insane listening to this, but it makes me happier than ever before. So, please let me. Thank you. Sapher's mix contains a shit ton of weird anthems, and every so often, when GPF want it, they can actually make decent anthems. They've got the capabilities, but they just couldn't care less. And that's the only thing that I dislike about GPF: their songs are too damn short. I know it's a trend that many do follow, but come on: songs can be extended, not just radio edits or short edits. And when the climax section hits, it's only for 10 seconds! We need to hear some of these songs longer. The longer, the better (unless you dislike them). The song that currently does a lot of damage to my eardrums is 'Piepi Piepi Papa Papa'. The synth section that resembles the 80s, oh so gorgeous. And then when GPF does their thing, it just blows my ears and butt cheeks apart! I do love the admiration to make this work, and Sapher's mix is good, but not flawless. I think that it would have been slightly better without the few mixing errors, but at least the message is clear: it's a GPF tribute mix, time to go nuts. And hell, at least it's not a pre recorded mix (*ahum GPF*)... All jokes aside, let's get greazy, and enjoy this mix. Don't take things too seriously, and I won't do that either. Have a laugh, a giggle, and still stomp your feet as fast as ever before. But not to 'Blue'. Another rip off song by David Guetta. What a horrible producer, and what a horrible song. GPFs song is slightly better, but still meh.

- Daz Ellis aka Undercover Agent tribute mix (Juice, Splash, Suburban Base) (2024)
Sometimes you find mixes, and by just reading the title, it intrigues you. This was one of those mixes. A tribute mix by Soul On 10, for the late Daz Ellis, a.k.a. Undercover Agent. In my honest opinion, the name didn't ring a bell at first, but once I started listening to this mix, I found out that the majority of records have been heard by yours truly over the years, but the name just not acknowledge the name for some bizarre reason. But the music, that remains in my head, and once I heard this tribute mix, I recognised so many tunes. I had to listen to this mix in its entirety and let you know what I think of it. According to Discogs, this artist passed away this year in March. Normally when I see tribute mixes, they are for artists who are still among us. RIP. It is always dreadful to hear someone passed away. But Daz Ellis certainly left a legacy behind. A very rich back catalogue of amazing records, the oldest in this mix being 30 years old, and the most recent one only 2 years old. The mix is a nice tribute, truth be told. I might not have recognised the name, but the music does resonate within me. And as mentioned before, I've heard these songs before, some even in my most favourite Drum & Bass/Jungle mixes. I feel dreadful for not knowing the name, the man behind the name. The music is as good as you want it to be. If Drum & Bass isn't your cup of tea, this might not be for you. But maybe give this a go. Trust me, this could be the one mix that persuades you to listen to more DnB/Jungle. The tracks are solid.

That distinctive sound, you cannot reproduce. So 90s. So dope as fuck. I could do an all-nighter with these songs. They are so awesome to listen to. I remember many years ago, listening to music by Daz and similar artists, and spending hours playing games, with this playing in the background. This is the perfect style to listen to, if you are planning on playing many hours on your console or PC. This tribute mix is a fitting tribute to the man behind these records. Again, the name might not have rung a bell, but the tunes were certainly the ones I listened to, growing up. The mix is 64 minutes long, and the flow is tremendously good. You feel relaxed, yet ready to go out, and party your ass off. I could not find a single thing wrong with this mix, it is only love from the first to the last second. But when 'Baad Boy (95 VIP)' hits, that's when you know it is about to happen. The madness occurs, and I'm happy to have heard that song. What a big tune. A fitting tribute. RIP Daz Ellis, and thanks for the music. This is timeless music, and your legacy will be heard for generations to come!

- Rhino - Early & Millennium Mix (2024)
Every chance I get, I go online and go to my trusted source Soundcloud, and find awesome mixes I thoroughly enjoy. Most of the time they are diverse, and some are so diverse, that I literally try and think on how to capture my feelings in a review, but it never sees the light of day. And some are just too damn easy to write about. The one you are about the listen to, is a mix dedicated to early and Millennium Hardcore, so an easy pick for me, as I like those both equally as much. Sometimes I prefer the early stuff more, sometimes it's the latter. I grew up with Hardcore, so to hear a mix dedicated to the 90s and early 00s, that's just amazing. And as I had to do some chores today, I needed to hear this badly. What would normally be a 1 hour job turned out to be a 30 minute job. I was done quicker than expected, which was a bonus. Why? Well, this mix was energetic enough, and it made me plough through everything that needed to be done. And sometimes you just need something hard and rough to get you through the day. Rhino, the man behind this mix, made a 2 hour mix with some heavy hitters. I mean the big anthems, those that did a substantial amount of damage on many dancefloors. And the hits just keep on coming at you. 38 hits in a 2 hour long mix. Wouldn't want to listen to anything else right now. But are they really as good as I say they are? Is this mix one for you to check out? You be the judge!

Smile for miles. And I've got memories with most of these tracks, so that's an added bonus. DJ Rhino selected 38 amazing records, and it's the truth. So many awesome songs. Most of them are Millennium Hardcore anthems, not many 'early' songs, but it's still quite diverse. And it goes by before you know it. It's 2 hours, but you won't acknowledge time until it's too late. Some cracking anthems in here, especially one of Angerfist most underrated songs 'Brother's Keepers'. That's my favourite one. Maybe because you don't hear that one that often, which is a pity. A solid mix, but every so often the flow isn't as good as I wanted it to be. This could have been a wicked mix, without the small mixing errors. The overall outcome is good, but there might be moments where you loose interest due to the mistakes. Don't worry though, just keep on listening to the end. A very nice mix. Good listening pleasure by DJ Rhino. More of these please.

- DJ Nex the Altern8 Archer (in respect to DJ Nex) (2024)
Friday has arrived, and we need to unwind. We had a long week, and for some it was even longer, as we were still in Easter mode. And it might not be a pleasant weekend ahead, but at least I've got something for you to listen to, if you like Breakbeat Hardcore. If not, you can go and read other reviews I've done. But this review will be focussed on DJ Nex, a.k.a. one half of Altern 8. Surely you must have heard of Altern 8, one of the biggest duos in the scene during the 90s. Mark Archer anyone? Sorry, I should have used his DJ name, DJ Nex. Anyone? Maybe you are too young to remember the 90s and Altern 8. You might not have been born. You missed out on so much. But don't you worry, the music and the legacy remains alive and kicking. And so does DJ Nex. He is still releasing new music on Kniteforce, and it has got this distinctive 90s sound we all love and appreciate. 90s music, made for the 20s generation. If you were there in the 90s, you will certainly love DJ Nex' latest releases. Both DJ Nex and Kniteforce have been in the scene since the early 90s, and they are still going strong. I do adore the label, as it gives us Breakbeat Hardcore anthems which are truly insane to listen to, and if you want to experience them, you need to hear them at a rave. Same applies to DJ Nex. You need to hear him play his latest tunes. They need to come at you through massive speakers, so you can feel the bass. Bass bins, anyone? All jokes aside, DJ Nex a.k.a. 1/2 of Altern 8 is still doing damage on the dancefloors all over the world, and his latest releases are a nod to the good old days, but made for the next generation of ravers. And I truly embrace the tracks. Do you? DJ Nex - At The Controls (Raas Kemp Remix) DJ Nex - 1-2-3 DJ Nex - Rock The Place DJ Nex - Fast As Fuck DJ Nex - Fluid DJ Nex - Rock The Place (Arcane Remix) DJ Nex - Nex's Theme DJ Nex - DJ Nex's Theme (Part 2) DJ Nex - Sweep DJ Nex - One For The Feelgood Crew DJ Nex - At The Controls DJ Nex - The Dub DJ Nex - Nex Theme (Swankout Remix) DJ Nex - When I Come, I Come Ruff DJ Nex - Respect Is Due This is a dope appreciation mix by Event_Horizon. I found this mix by accident, but I'm happy that someone shared it. It is always a blessing to hear new music, and when it's made by an oldskool legend like DJ Nex, it makes everything even better. I have to say that I wasn't expecting these anthems to land this hard. They have, as mentioned before, that distinctive 90s sound I truly admire. And it kind of blew me away. The songs are excellent, and it's been carefully mixed. The result is a 56 minute long mix with some crackers. Some really awesome sounding anthems by the legend himself. And which track blew my mind the most? Well, it's the first one. I thought L.F.O. with L.F.O. had the darkest bass, but this track, with a decent stereo system, sounds even better! My God, it goes full on bonkers, It's a dope ass track, and it made me loose my freaking mind the first time I heard it. A solid mix. Worth your time. Go and check it out, and enjoy it as much as I have. Let DJ Nex's songs take you through the weekend. You won't be disappointed. DJ Nex, more of these 90s sounding EPs please. More = better! Less = not so much.

- Paradox - UK Hardcore Classics (2023)
OK. OK. First review of today was all around oldskool Hardcore, the second one was focussed on Underground Resistance and their awesome back catalogue, but now, the third review, will be about a few UK Hardcore classics you might appreciate. I am going back in time today, and I'm loving the early vibes I am experiencing. Maybe it's because I don't want to get older, and I miss the 90s/early 00s vibes? Who knows? I do miss the good ol' sound, but by listening to Soundcloud a lot, I do get my daily fix of mixes I really wanted to hear. And this has been a favourite for a few weeks now, and I thought today would be a great day to share it with you all. Paradox. Not encountered the name before, but after finding the first instalment of this mix, I quickly gave the DJ a follow, and found 2 other mixes, dedicated to UK Hardcore classics. You could not make me happier at all. Finding three mixes all with UK Hardcore classics. That's a hard one to beat, as I'm one of the few Dutchies out there who appreciate UK Hardcore. I only discovered it around 2001/2002, but I'm so happy that I jumped in at the right time, because my life would have been miserable not knowing the tracks that dominated the dancefloors in the UK around that time. He selected 20 records for this first mix, and boy, are they solid as a rock? They are true UK Hardcore classics from a forgotten era. And it makes my hear beat faster, hearing these again. It's a trip down memory lane, and some have already posted positive feedback underneath this mix. So if you are bored, sitting indoors as the wind is too ferocious, why not have this play instead the dross you would normally listen to? Get out the glow sticks and the whistles, and have a party at home? We are allowed to WFH, why no PFH (party from home?) Injured Rezz feat Kristy - Ride Like The Wind Sion - Oh Oh Oh Dougal & Gammer feat Jenna - All The Tears I've Cried Lisa Abbott - Blow Me Away (Hardcore Mix) Seduction & Al Storm - Ready To Rock Bubble & Squeak - Free S3RL - Keep On Raving Baby United In Dance - Rocking With The Best Dougal & Gammer - Don't Stop Go Adam Harris vs One Republic - Apologise Gammer feat Cat Knight - A New Feeling (Let It Shine) Brisk & Ham - Crazy Love 2008 Brisk & Ham - Angel Eyes (Re-Con Remix) Michael Mansion - I'm The One (DJ Himbo & Ben X-Treme Remix) Dougal & Gammer - Know The Score 2 Dougal & Gammer - Tell Me A Story (Sy & Unknown Remix) Gammer - This Is Mind Blowing D-Code - My Direction (Squad-E Remix) Darwin - Adagio Lee UHF vs Devastate - Push It Good There are some amazing classics in here. And a few forgotten anthems too. And one that I really never liked, but was played at nearly every event, as it's quite a catchy song to sing-a-long to. Paradox's mix is intoxicating, and it's a good throwback to the good old days. You cannot beat this sound coming out of the scene. It has evolved, granted, but sometimes I wish the sound would not evolve, and we would hear records being made the same way like in the noughties and we would never call these songs classics. I hate time moving forward: I want to go back in time. Please, has anyone got a time machine yet? Elon Musk, you've got money and you are an inventor, have you not invented such a thing yet? It's a good mix, but 'Apologise' is not my favourite record in this mix. Every rave I've been to, back in the day, had this one playing, and the crowd would sing as loud as they could. Never liked the original, never liked this version (sorry). Which record did make me smile from ear to ear? There's a few, but 'All The Tears I've Cried' has to be the number one. The vocals just take it to the next level, right? The mix is OK. Some tiny errors. It's not flawless, but it's nothing too major. The records selected are awesome (but not the one I'd already mentioned). A nice trip down memory lane. And I've already checked out the other two mixes by Paradox, so if this one mix isn't enough, go check out the others.

- [Detroit Techno] Essential Guide To Underground Resistance (1992-1999) (2021)
If you are old enough to have lived through the 90s, you will know the collective called Underground Resistance. If you don't, click on the name previously mentioned, and it will take you to their official Wikipedia page. You need to learn about them, and appreciate them for what they have done for not just Techno music, but for music in general. So influential, they were the YouTube influencers of their time (when there was no internet and no fakery). And since their creation back in the 90s, they are still going strong. How do I know all of this? Well, there's a reason why I listened to this mix. It was down to a YouTube documentary about the Berlin Techno scene. Now Berlin is a few miles outside of Detroit, granted. But it also highlighted the importance of Detroit and Underground Resistance. They weren't the first to create Techno, but they put Detroit Techno on the map, which first was only focussed in the city of Detroit, but soon got the attention of club goers all over the world. And DJs took that sound, and dragged it with them all over the globe. There's a whole history behind UR, and I would urge you to read their Wikipedia page. It is interesting, to say the least. But they have been influential since day one, and to this day has their music touched many club goers. I am one of them. I never knew the full catalogue, but some of their tracks have made their way into my life, and I'm glad for them being in my life, as they are awesome. And the man who made this mix must have thought the same. Johan N. Lecander's mix is roughly an hour and a half long, but it contains some of the dopest records money can buy. It is Techno in it's purest form. From the harder Acid sounding Techno to the more melodic House sounding Techno, all is in here. So, are you ready for some UR? Underground Resistance - Greater Than Yourself Underground Resistance - Cosmic Traveller Galaxy 2 Galaxy - Hi-Tech Jazz (The Elements) Scan 7 - Password Soul Galaxy 2 Galaxy - Astral Apache (Star Stories) UR - Untitled UR - The Mighty Asteroids Of Jupiter Underground Resistance - The Storm Andre Holland - Inversions DJ Rolando - Aztec Mystic Underground Resistance - Fuck The Majors UR - Acid Fog (The Mystery) Underground Resistance - The Lightning Underground Resistance - The Seawolf The Aztec Mystic A.K.A. DJ Rolando - Jaguar Underground Resistance - Kamikaze UR - Communications Silence UR - Logic Bomb UR - Ain't No Sunshine (The Sign) UR - Orbitals In Motion UR - Cyberwolf Mad Mike - Planet X UR - Turbulence (The Warning) UR - Particle Shower UR - Low Pressure Front (The Pulse) Just by looking at the tracklist on Johan N. Lecander's page, it shows me that the oldest song in this mix was released in 1992 and the 'youngest' released in 1999. It's everything you wanted this mix to be, and more. Johan's selection is great, and what we have to acknowledge is not only the importance of this mix, but also the importance of everything involved with UR, and the legacy it has left behind. And how many future DJs and producers they have influenced, is just insane. You cannot believe that a collective could have so much power, but they certainly had the power. And the songs have become all-time classics. Especially when you do investigate each and every track released. So fascinating. The documentary I watched made me want to hear more, so a quick search led me to this mix, and I'm happy I discovered it. So many awesome records, but 'The Seawolf' has to be the greatest, right? Jeff Mills, the legendary producer and DJ, made this record under the UR alias, and it has got so many positive comments on not the internet, but whenever you play it at any event, the crowds will loose their freaking minds! An all time classic. But everything that Jeff Mills makes is awesome. We can agree on that, right? A special mix, proper dedication and admiration to this legendary collective, still going strong. They paved the way for many producers, and gave us ravers/club goers, many anthems to listen to, and create memories that are linked to those anthems. Thanks UR, and thanks Johan for this awesome mix. I really enjoyed it. DJ: Johan N.

- 93 'Til Infinity - Old Skool Hardcore and Jungle Mix (2024)
Sunday has landed upon us, and it's not a very pleasant day. It might be sunny, wherever it is you are, but it's windy as hell, so no BBQ today or sitting in the garden, as the stuff might be flying around in not just your garden, but your neighbours garden too. So let's stay indoors and enjoy some early 90s Old Skool Hardcore and Jungle. If that's your cup of tea though: if it isn't, there's plenty of other music to discover on this wonderful website. If you do like it, sit back, and get ready to press play. When I discovered this mix, I recognised the image the DJ used. I quickly had a look, and found out that I did do a review before, but that mix got taken down, so by the end of this review, I will remove it from my website. But as previously mentioned, I know nothing about the DJ, who goes by the name of Glide. So the focus should go to the actual mix he/she made. It's a mix that contains a plethora of excellent anthems from the early years, and it already received some positive feedback. From Drum & Bass to Jungle to Rave to Hardcore.. all is in here. And there were still enough unknown records for me to be amazed. I do like to discover songs that I've not seen or heard before, in 2024. And this mix has got a few gems. Sit back, and have a look at the tracklist, and let's decide if this is what you were hoping to hear: Tom & Jerry - We Can Be Free Babylon Timewarp - Durban Poison (Kashmir Mix) Stretch & Enjoy - Dance Nasty Habits - Here Comes The Drumz (Remix) FBD Project - Terminate Nasty Habits - Mayday, Mayday (Remix) FBD Project - The Core Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse - Drowning In Her Intense - Paradox D.O.P.E. - Dope On Plastic (DJ Easy B & T Bag Revisited Mix) Dead Man's Chest - Open Your Eyes From The Man Like Pennywise - Suspension Of Disbelief The Vice Squad - On The Edge Tom & Jerry - Physics Acid Beard Massive - Untitled The House Crew - Euphoria (Nino's Dream) Credit for Glide to make this mix. It's a very easy to listen to mix, and the tracks are hard as hell. And it's got some of the weirdest artist names. 'Acid Beard Massive'? 'Tom & Jerry'? 'From The Man Like Pennywise'? You can get them weirder like this, but I still find it hilarious to find out certain artist names. They make me chuckle. But all jokes aside, this mix is hard. It's only an hour long, but the hour flies by. If you are into this kind of music, you will love the mix. The tracks are solid, and the flow is humongous. What I mean by that, is that the flow is on another level. It makes you want to dance in your living room/bedroom/kitchen.. basically wherever you are. Dance like no one is watching. It starts off strong, and the flow continues like that. Too many excellent tracks to choose from, but I have to pick one. So it's going to be the first one. 'We Can Be Free'. It certainly sets the tone for what's about to come/ A solid mix. If you don't want to experience the shitty weather outside, stay indoors, press play, turn up the bass, and the volume, and let yourself go. Dance like no one is watching, but do respect your neighbours. They might not like the pounding bass. But also, remember: if they don't like this kind of music, it's their loss. Who doesn't like the oldskool sound, right? Maybe ask your neighbours to move, that would be a nice thing to ask?

- Addicted To Trance Invites (Dave Cussen) Trance Classics Guest Mix (2024)
I have been very quiet for a few weeks. No reviews or nothing. Well, a reason for that was family coming over from the Netherlands, and the Easter holidays. I could not be arsed to do anything, and even decided NOT to go on the PS4. But now I am back, and I had some time to collate some excellent mixes for you all to check out. The first one being a Trance mix, and that's always a good genre to come back to. It's always the safest option, as no one on Earth hates Trance. No one. Well, I know one DJ/producer who might, but maybe deep down inside he likes it? But everyone else loves Trance, even my parents. But it's not about them. It's about you, the reader. You ready for some Trance music? Some Trance classics? The first thing I noticed when I scrolled down on Soundcloud, was the beautiful flowers. They look gorgeous. Nice colours. But then I just went in blindly, as I think it didn't have a tracklist initially. Now it does, and I'm happy to share it with you all. The DJ behind this mix is DJ Dave Cussen. A short description can be found on Addicted To Trance's channel (under the mix), but what he has done, is make a two hour long mix with some of the finest anthems from back in the day. The list might not be long, but the songs surely are, and that's always the best way to enjoy Trance music: no radio edits, just long extended versions. But even in this mix did he surprise me with some gems I've not encountered before. And he also surprised me with a track by an artist who used to make excellent music, not so anymore. Guess who that might be? Time for a list. You ready for it? Sasha - Scorchio Adam K & Soha - Twilight Filterheadz - Sunshine Lucas & Beltram - Trust Me Deadmau5 - Alone With You John O'Bir - Sunrise Salt Tank - Eugina (Michael Woods Remix) Reflekt - Need To Feel Loved (Thrillseekers Remix) E.A.T.

Global Interference - Genesis Atlantis vs Avatar - Fiji (Lange Remix) Pulser - My Religion (Lange Remix) Lightforce - Join Me (Pants & Corset Remix) The mix contains some big classics. And if you were wondering who I was talking about earlier, it's Deadmau5 of course. I really like the early stuff, not the stuff he made at a later stage. As good as the track might be, it's not the best track in this mix. It's 'Fiji'. What a dancefloor anthem. And truth be told, you cannot buy an album filled with Trance classics without having this one on there. It's a track that has stood the test of time, and has been played at many events, all over the world. It's an obvious choice for me to pick it as my favourite song in this mix. It's a solid mix, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Never heard of Dave Cussen before, but he's gained a new follower. His mix is a tad diverse, and I like it. A good selection of anthems, and I've had this on repeat for days on end. So that's proof how dope this mix is. The only thing I want to mention is the actual quality of the recording. It's not flawless, but that could just be my connection. Oh, and it's also in wav. , so don't download the mix onto your phone, as it's 1.2GB!

- The Viper Tribute (2024)
I am a huge Hardcore fan since day two (day one was a tad too early for me, as I was too young and didn't really understood Hardcore when it was day one), and I do love hearing tribute mixes. There seems to be an influx on Soundcloud, or could it be down to my algorithm? But I keep seeing more and more of these, and one of the most recent ones, made by The Finnishing Dutch, was one I wasn't expecting. A tribute to DJ The Viper. And the reason why I wasn't ready for it, might be a bit shocking, but I'll share it with you all anyway. I always took The Viper for granted, and never delved into his music back catalogue that much. I knew of his existence and that he makes Hardcore records, but never stood still and realised how much of an impact he has had in the scene since the mid 90s. And I've never really acknowledge the amount of his records he's been part of, which are truly timeless classics. I, potentially, never gave The Viper the credit he deserves, but today is the day during which it might happen. I am a tad ashamed that I never really had a review on this site, which was either a tribute mix to The Viper, or a mix/CD made by him. He is truly an important factor in the scene, and this mix you are about to listen to, shows the importance of The Viper. My God, he's made so many awesome songs and remixed a shit ton of them too. I have never really acknowledged him as an artist, but today is the day. Today, I am going to fully emerge myself into this mix, which contains 35 records, and they are all focussed on The Viper. Let's dive straight into the tracklist, and hopefully you'll be as amazed as I was, once I spotted this mix.

A good selection of records, and the funny thing is, I know each and every track. I just took The Viper for granted, which I should not have done. I do apologise, mr The Viper. I hope you can forgive me. The Finnishing Dutch's tribute mix starts off strong, and he has selected a lot of amazing records. I really never realised how many awesome songs had The Viper linked to them. This mix has opened my eyes, maybe a tad late, but never too late to acknowledge awesomeness. The best record is probably the most well known record of all time. Well, the original was a bit hit in the Happy Hardcore scene, and made its way to the Top 40. Critical Mass. Their song 'Burning Love' has been an amazing song, and the Viper's remix is a wicked song. It's not the only big anthem in this mix, but to me it's the most special one. The mix itself has got a few mixing errors in it. It's not as flawless as it could have been, which is a pity, but you can still enjoy the songs selected, and appreciate The Viper's influence since the mid 90s. During the 90s I liked the alias 'Black Knight', but when the Millennium came around, it shifted to the Viper. And his impact will be felt throughout the Hardcore scene for many years to come. To me, he was an underrated producer, but now he's in the top 20 of all time Hardcore producers. Just look at this list, and how much he has contributed. The Viper, you rock sir!
