Happy New Year. Is it still OK to wish you all a happy 2026? Who knows. You could be reading this review on the day of its release (02.01.2026) or later in the year. If you are reading this later in the year, apologies, this intro wasn't meant for you to be read today. But what can you consider to be for you, whenever you read this review? The mix you are about to press play on, made by Jezz Toon a.k.a. Syntax Error. If you love UK Hardcore, you will be extremely excited to h

Let's go back, 20 years back, to the wonderful year of our Lord, 2005. Remember that year? Where were you in 2005? What were you doing? And most important of all, what were you listening to back then? I was certainly listening to a lot of genre/styles: Hardcore, Gabber, Trance, Jumpstyle, Hardstyle, Techno, and this lesser known style UK Hardcore (lesser known in the Netherlands). Did I play this kind of music a lot back in the day? Hell yes, I sure did. I drove everyone arou

It's been a weird few weeks. Unpleasant weeks. And it just continues. Which is certainly unpleasant, but we are to try and find some kind of happiness among it all. And I've found something which certainly makes me happier. A UK Hardcore mix by Lone Raver. It's been on Soundcloud for a few months, and has had good reviews so far, and I'm slowly going up the Top Fans list on Soundcloud. You'll know why in a second! I have felt the same as the Lone Raver. He fell out of love wi

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

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

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.
