After the previous review, I became more nostalgic, and wanted to hear something from my youth, and obviously I had to jump on YouTube, and within seconds I found a Happy Hardcore mix! It's like the internet knew. I wonder why though, but I should not let my thoughts dwell any further, I should just embrace the mix by DJ Ebi. And of course, within a millisecond did I notice the three devils, which will always remain linked to the glorious Happy Hardcore CDs, released by Arcad

Turn Up The Bass Volume 1 CD Cover Front The year is 1989. I was only 6 years old. I had absolutely no clue on what was happening in the world, I was so much more focussed on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and was still enjoying M.A.S.K. (who remembers that show, eh?). While I was still just a kid, a world outside of my bedroom was all focussed on this new world, a new scene emerged, and it grew in popularity. It already existed in 1989, but it certainly grew in the public

What a wonderful day today is. It is nice and sunny, and it feels nice outside. The weather is making us all feel great, and we need that kind of positivity, before Autumn really kicks in, and darkness surrounds us, temperatures go down, and life in general might look a tad bleaker. For now, nothing's wrong in life, and I'm enjoying this Monday, and I hope you are too. And I've got a mix which suits today extremely well. And there's only a handful of hours left of this Monday

It is Sunday, and yet another week is behind us. A new week is about to start, but not yet. We still get to enjoy the last few hours of freedom. And for today's mix, I found one a few days ago, which I could not review until today, as the title suggests, it's only applicable to mention on a Sunday, as the title does mention this. Or the mix was recorded on a Sunday? That I do not know, but it is the one mix we are to listen to today. I have had this on repeat for a few days n

Another weekend coming to an end, but it's been a great weekend. I had a fantastic day yesterday, and today has been great, as I was accompanied throughout the day with some glorious Hardstyle anthems from back in the day. You know, way back. The best years of Hardstyle. And Revokez, the DJ behind this mix, had a very nice message under this mix, about Defqon 2009, and how all seemed to be perfect. The music, the atmosphere, the people.. all was well, and to relive those mome

Monday is about to end, and what a long ass day it has been. Working since 6:15am, and it it still not done. Work never stops, which is a good thing, as it keeps you busy. But sometimes it can be very stressful and arduous, and the only thing that can help me, is a solid mix. And as I'm an 80s kid, the 90s were obviously important to me, and during this decade, I discovered Rave music, and its glorious sound (and scene too). It stuck with me to this day, and hearing those son

Rígur Lárus is back! According to Soundcloud, the last mix (''Take #20 - Eternal Habits Of The Spotted Mind'') was released a year ago. And it's been a very long year for those who are a fan of Rígur Lárus. And as you can gather, I am one of those. Not only are his mixes insanely good, he also seems to find those fantastic Tiesto sets, which I truly admire. But it's not about Tiesto, it is all about Rígur Lárus and his latest mix, which has as celebrity Charly Sheen. Or is it

Second mix of the day, and it's one which has been on repeat for days on end. I discovered it by accident, and I've been hooked ever since. Yes, it might look like a mystery mix, as the title doesn't really explain much. Guessing it the date on which this mix was composed. But nothing else can be relayed from the title. It's a mystery, until you actually press play, and in an instant, you are immersed into the world of Jungle, Drum & Bass, and Breakbeat. And that's a wonderfu

It is Monday morning, and I'm back! Did you miss me? Probably not, which is a good thing. I didn't miss anyone either, as I was on holiday in Crete. I had to take a few days of holiday, as it's been non stop since the start of the year. And it was an amazing holiday. But holidays end, and it is now back to normality. Technically speaking: I was back last Wednesday, but I just could not be arsed to do any reviews. I just wanted to listen to music, discover new music, and do no

The weekend has landed, and it's time for some fun! Let's go back to the 90s, and listen to some Happy Hardcore. And obviously, I am on board with this, as I'm a true lover of the Happy sound. I grew up with it, and seeing Thumpa's image, having the legendary devils in them, that just fills my heart with joy. Legendary icons from the Happy scene, especially from Arcade's 'Happy Hardcore' CD collection. Not sure if they ever played football for the England team though? Thumpa

It is Wednesday, for all you that don't know. And it's yet another hectic day. I've been up since 4:30am, and have been non-stop working. It's a blessing, don't get me wrong, but I've worked long before the birds started to chirp. And it was still dark when I fired up the laptop. Obviously at that time in the morning, you can't blast 200 BPM music, you need something chill and relaxing, and I had this mix in my list for a few days now, and today's the day I'm listening to it,

The weekend is about to end, and I hope you had a nice weekend. I certainly did. The standard weekend chores, painting the fence as well, and we went to the cinema to watch the Odyssey. I've been recharging my battery for the upcoming week, which will be yet another busy one. And as I'll be in the office on a Monday, I will be in dire need of something energetic, and a few days ago did I come across a mix by DJ Ad. An oldie, but a solid one. You might enjoy it too, if you giv

What a day it has been! I cannot describe it. I've been working non stop since 6am, and it's now getting to 6pm. I was expecting hectic, but this became hectic on a different level. It made the day go by quicker, but it still left me with a lot of work to do. I've done as much as I physically could, but now it is time to unwind, and relax. And when it comes to music, I've been very chilled today. I had a mix on, with Ibiza anthems. No hard stuff, but very mellow stuff. Maybe

I love myself a bit of 'back to the past'. It is just the way of living, right? You either love the current, or you stick with what you know, and remain in the past. That's where I remain, and currently live. As much as I do like some of the new stuff coming out, I do prefer the older stuff. That's the kind of music I grew up with, and it makes me extremely happy. And when you think of it, there's still a lot of 'new' music to discover, some of these songs have slipped by you

It's only Monday, but it certainly feels like a Thursday or Friday. It's been such a manic and hectic day, I cannot believe the weekend is behind me. A weekend full of Soul, House, and more blissful music, and now I'm sucked back into reality, with a lot of work. Thankfully I'm WFH, so I can listen to whatever I please. And today's mix is certainly one which has full energy from the start. Not one with Soul, Funk or House. But a full on Hardcore mix, with tracks from back in

As mentioned on my Facebook, I was out yesterday. Me and the missus had some ticket for a party at the National Bowl in Milton Keynes, and the event was called 'Electric Paradise'. And as you can see from the image above, it had a lot of great words to describe the event, and looking back at it, it did have all of it. And we were pleasantly surprised to the diversity of the event, not only when it comes to the music, but food, and overall vibes. I've been to many events/fest

The weekend is about to land, and I'm a happy bunny. Why is that? Well, simple reason: tomorrow an event is taking place in Milton Keynes, which is called 'Electric Paradise'. We booked the tickets months ago, and we looked at each stage, who is performing there. There are 6 stages, and obviously the main one has got names all known, but the other areas had a few known, and some we had to look up. One of them was Kirollus. He's playing in the Glitterbox area, and I wanted to

Defqon.1 2026. That was certain (so far) one of the most talked about events in the world. It went global, and not for the right reasons. Well, the reasons were justified, but it was unfortunate that they had to cancel the event . First, they tried to reduce the amount of people coming to the event, and I do believe the first day happened, but the weather was dangerously hot, it would have caused too much additional issues with all the ravers attending, it was best to not wai

Peach At The Beach. I thought I heard it all. I thought it was a euphemism, but it was actually the name of an event, which took place a few weeks ago, in Bournemouth. I wasn't there, obviously, otherwise I would have known that it was the name of an event. But from a quick Google search, it turns out to be a great event. It had a nice line up, and who doesn't love House & Trance? And one of the sets recorded at this event has been published on Soundcloud, so obviously I had

It is only Tuesday, but it certainly feels like the weekend is just around the corner. Temperatures are going up and up, and the garden looks like a patch of grass which could have easily been in Greece, Italy, or anywhere else. It is dry, it's hot, and I'm WFH. How pleasant is that? This feels more like being on holiday (besides the WFH obviously). This temperature makes me want to go outside, enjoy the Sun shining on my big head, whilst sipping on a nice cocktail (yes, I am

Oh, what a lovely day. It is Saturday, and the weather is gorgeous. Obviously, as the whole of Europe has been extremely warm throughout the last 2 months. But everything seems to be perfect. Not just the weather. The chores have been done, and now it's time for some PS5 time. Later tonight a wedding party, so all is going to be well. And accompanying me this weekend, is a splendid mix which has been on repeat for days on end, yet Soundcloud does not show it on their 'FANS' s

It is nearly Friday, and you know what that means? Party time! It is yet another full-on weekend with lots of activities, but as close as it is, we still have Friday ahead of us, and we all need something to get us through tomorrow. I might have found something very interesting, something I found by accident, and I can't remember if someone shared it or reposted it. I saw it, jumped on it, and now I'm hooked. And the mix in question contains music that fits my mood extremely

Sharing is caring, right? I love it when people share. It gives me the opportunity to find new music, without actually having to search for it. The mix you are about to listen to, is yet one of those mixes. I have been extremely busy this week, and also recovering after seeing Tiesto in London last Sunday, but now I finally have found the time to sit down and give this mix a go. And yes, you have guessed it right, I'm still on this Trance wave, and I'm not getting off anytime

It is Monday, the day after. And I'm feeling OK. I did wake up with a bit of a sore head, as I've had too much to drink, but I'm OK now. For those who haven't read my messages on social media yesterday (and weeks prior too), I was in London yesterday, at a little venue called Silverworks Island (which is next to the Thames), to see DJ Tiësto. And it was magnificent. As you can see on the image above, it was packed to the max, and for good reasons. Everything that could have g
