EARLY HARDCORE SET #3 (2026)
A new week is about to start, and in a few hours, the weekend is behind us. It has been a splendid weekend, with lots of sunshine, and a nice temperature. And obviously you have to do your standard chores. To keep me company during those chores, I found a mix, which is dedicated to the early Hardcore sound. And you know I am a sucker for anything early, right? The mix you are about to listen to, does contain early Hardcore anthems, so be warned: this mix might very well be to

Oldschool Ruffneck Ruffex Records Mix by Genetic (2025)
It is Sunday. Time has flown by, and the weekend is slowly coming to an end. But let's end it with a bang. A mix which contains music from one of the most prolific labels in Hardcore history. Ruffex Records. Ever heard of it? I certainly have, and so has the majority of the gabbers in the 90s and early 00s.

Thunderdome Mini Tribute (2025)
I am a Thunderdome baby. Well, technically not true, but I am true to the brand. I am loyal. And like many others, during the 90s, I've bought everything imaginable. From CDs to t-shirts to special editions, and even went to a Thunderdome. Not had the honour of having the Wizard tattooed on my skin: I am a bit of a wimp. But everything else I did do, and the main honour for me, and many around me, was the fact that I played the albums over and over. I drove everyone around me

Addict - Early Hardcore mix (2025)
If you are new to this page, you might not know that I'm a die hard Hardcore fanatic, since 1993. 32 years of Hardcore, that's a long time. But it is never too long if you truly believe and love the scene. And of course, you have to love the music, which I truly do. I cannot get enough of Hardcore. And have I got a nice mix for you all to listen to: a mix focussed on the early side of Hardcore. Not the really early stuff, the early 90s, but close enough. And also a brand span
