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

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

Saturday, the day before Sunday. Normally that means absolutely nothing, but to me it means a lot. Tomorrow it is time for me to go to Silverworks in London, next to the Thames, and party my ass off. I've said it in the last few reviews, and I'm getting more and more excited. Maybe you are not a Tiesto fan, or maybe you once were, but not anymore. But I have been since the late 90s. and have listened to many of his mixes, and had the pleasure to witness him at Innercity in 20

Today it's all about Trance music. The previous review was focussed on classic Trance anthems, and this one goes a tad faster, and more heavier. Obviously, if you have read the title, you know it's all about Hard Trance, and as I'm about to see Tiesto on Sunday, I want to listen to as much Trance as I can. Hoping obviously that the legend will play some Hard Trance anthems, but I highly doubt it. One can only dream, right? He might, you never know. Only Tiesto will know. I ha

What a long week it has been, but the good thing is, is that the weekend is just around the corner. Just a few more hours until we can embrace the sunshine, without being stuck in an office, or in my case, home office. It has been boiling inside (32 degrees Celsius inside according to Hive), and living without airconditioning, it is certainly torture. At least I had my music keeping me company. And today's mix is certainly one getting me in the mood for this weekend. Why this

Sensation Black, who remembers these events from back in the day? Who remembers them, before they got changed into BLACK (they just removed the Sensation name from it, to separate the events from each other). I do remember them, and when I went in 2002, I wanted to get tickets for the Black edition, but they were sold out quicker than ever. And over the years, thanks to platforms such as Soundcloud, YouTube, and Mixcloud, have I been able to listen to sets from that event. An

Why does it feel like the weekend? Not really in work mode today. The weather is kind of pleasant, and I'm in short and a polo, working from home. And it is still quite muggy. And it's only freaking Tuesday! The weekend cannot come quicker. You might be wondering why I'm feeling so 'weekend'-ish? Well, that's because of Alex Threat's latest mix, which is full of Summer vibes anthems, from Twista Records. If you are a die-hard UK Hardcore fanatic, you know and adore the label,

Currently, we are experiencing a heatwave throughout most of Europe, and it isn't pleasant. Most of the days, the temperatures are well above 35 degrees Celsius, and some countries are now reporting to have temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius. That's not fun, and certainly it isn't safe to rave outside now. So let's all try and remain safe, stay indoors, turn on the airconditioning unit, and listen to something smooth, something that does not require you to physically do mu

Januskopf, a name you might have seen on this website appear a few times over the last few years. He's been making waves in the Hardcore scene, and the few mixes I have found, are all solid mixes. You might be wondering, why am I talking about him, on this extremely hot and cloudy Sunday afternoon? Well, it's all thanks to DJ Promo's latest mix. I know that might not make any sense, but you will, just trust me! DJ Promo announced on Facebook that he had a new mix coming out,

Oh, Reverse Bass. Certainly a sound from the early years I can appreciate. I grew up with this sound, and the amount of CDs I've purchased over the years, which contained Reverse Bass driven songs, is insane. And I do believe that I've gone through so many speakers, after me blowing them up, and it could be down to this nasty bass sound. And also Jumpstyle, but that's just a different story altogether. Today's focus is Reverse Bass. Well, the age of Reverse Bass. Which was, a

Dustin Hoffman. Not my favourite actor in the whole world, but if he's on screen, I would not watch anything else. He has been in some amazing films over the years, and he has certainly earned his respect among fellow actors. Of course, he played in a certain film I watched when I was younger, and was kind of obsessed with (Hook). A well respected actor, and the one Rígur Lárus chose for the ninth edition of his 'Take' series. Not the latest instalment, but certainly one you

A couple of weeks ago, I was listening to a CD, released by ID&T, back in 2001, and whilst searching for ID&T related stuff on Soundcloud, I found a mix from that same year. And obviously, as it names the radio station ID&T used to have, in the title, I was curious. If I'm being honest, I don't even think we received ID&T radio in Heerlen, Limburg (NL), as the reception back then was very bad, and I think only Maastricht would be covered. So as much as I know the name of the

I am back! Back with a brand spanking new mix by Antone. And what's so special about this one, is that it's a full on Trance mix, dedicated to an event which is taking place in a few weeks from now, in the Netherlands, and the event is called Luminosity Beach Festival. And if you are a Trance lover, this is the place to be. From June 25th till June 28th, scattered among a few stages, you will have the biggest names in the Trance scene, doing their bit to please the Trance fan
