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

Keeping it Ardcore 3 (2025)
Saturday. For many the time to get ready for a night out. I'm not. It's too damn cold, and had to get the house ready for Christmas. The tree had already been set up last week, but that was such an ordeal, we decided to split into two bits: tree last week, this week the rest. But as the weather was absolutely crap today, we left the outside bits for next week. And we also did not have enough batteries to make them all shine as bright, so that's for next week. But our house lo

DJ A.K. - 94-96 Happy Hardcore Mix PART 1 13.09.25
Last weekend, near where I live, there was this awesome event, held on a legendary street in Milton Keynes. V7 Saxon Street anyone? It had a killer line up and it would have been great going there, but I thought all tickets were sold out. I actually went to the MK Dons stadium next to where the party was held (not the stadium itself, the shopping area). We decided to go out, and have a nice meal at T.G.I. It felt weird, knowing that only a few feet away, thousands of ravers w

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

Si Thompson - 20 Years Of 2005 UK Hardcore Mix (3-6-2025)
I will not accept it. I cannot believe nor do I want to believe that 2005, which was a great year for not just UK Hardcore music, has been 20 years ago. Where the frick has the time gone? Why is time moving so damn fast? 2005 feels like yesterday, but it certainly isn't. 20 years ago. I cannot believe it. That's just insane, and also very disturbing. 20 years went by in a blink of a eye. Before you know it, we look back at 2005 in 2045. My God, I'm getting old too darn quick.
