1989 - 1994 Old Skool Rave Classics / Hardcore Mix (Mickey B) (2020)


The weekend is happening. How is your weekend going? You all OK? You had an OK day? I think for the most of us it was sitting in front of the television, watching the funeral of Prince Philip. Obviously the country is currently in mourn for the loss, but we must be strong and unite again. To get us back up on our feet, I might have found a good mix for you all. I am guessing you are into Oldskool Rave music, right? Well, name someone who isn't? If you are, you have come to the right place!

Someone called Mickey B made this mix last year, and uploaded it onto Youtube, where I found it. But because Youtube keeps on interrupting sets with ridiculous adverts, I had to go to Soundcloud, and listen to Mickey's set there. Don't know much about the DJ, but we share the same enthusiasm for the late 80s/early 90s Rave music. I absolutely adore it. And I always are slightly happier when I find a nice long mix with both well know and forgotten anthems, and this mix is full of them.


So what is it you can expect in this mix? Well, a shit ton of excellent music. Some well known records, some you have heard at probably each rave you have ever been to, and some you might have heard back in the day, and completely forgot about. It's a mix of everything, so sit back, and enjoy. Or stand the fuck up, and start raving. Whatever you fancy, mate!

You must have looked at the tracklist for a split second, and within that second you realised that this could be potentially a great mix to get you through the weekend. And you wouldn't be wrong either. Big anthems, underground anthems. everything's in here. So put your raving shoes on, and let's get cracking!


It's everything you needed to hear. Rave, Breakbeat, Hardcore, Jungle Techno, Happy Hardcore... you name it, it's in here. Was it a big style in 1989 to 1994, it's in here. And the tracks are by some of the finest producers, like 808 State, Doc Scott, Slipmatt (a.k.a. SMD), LTJ Bukem, and more. you are going to enjoy this set a lot. I did, so I suggest that you get ready for 2 hours of the rave sound that will ignite the spark within you.


This is also a downloadable mix, so you can go mad if you want to, whenever and wherever.


I do love this mix. Good selection of records, carefully mixed. And as difficult as it was to pick 1 records out of 41, I have to select two as my favourites: Join The Future by Manix, and Unit-E with Take 1. Big choons as the kids would say.


Highly intoxicating mix. Highly recommendable,
