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

Rave Tape's Vol.1 - White Dove (2025)
Isn't it wonderful, to find mixes/livesets and there's not a lot of info available? This is one of those: a nearly 2 hour long set, and the only bit of info is that this set was recorded at Doncaster Warehouse back in December 1994. And that's all there is to it. Not much more information available. Who made this set, and how come a set recorded in 1994 sounds so damn good? I mean the actual audio recording. It sounds so damn good. Which is weird. But it's a good set, nonethe

Rave The X-Mass (1993)
I was genuinely under the impression that I did review this CD many years ago, but I can't find it on my website. Maybe on a previous iteration of the site, maybe? But that got lost due to some Trojan horse viruses, so we are f**ked. So here's a review which might have been one I already did many years ago, or not. No one knows. Only Santa Claus knows. And he knows everything: if you've been nice, or not nice. He carries that magical book with him, and in it, you can find lit

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

Darkcore & Doomcore Vinyl mix (2025)
Doomcore, Darkcore. Two names I've not heard in a while. I thought it was always just embraced under the Hardcore umbrella, but they certainly are different. I remember a time when artists such as Simon Underground, Miro, Marc Acardipane, and more would release songs that were slightly darker, gloomier, and rougher around the edges. And I freaking loved it. I remember listening to Simon Underground's set at Thunderdome a million times, and Miro's ''Heroes Of Hardcore'' mix, o
