It's Monday, and what a dreadful day it is. It's a bit chilly, rains every so often, and it's cloudy. Not the Summer we hoped it was going to be. But not to worry, we still have a few weeks, so we might have a great Summer. To keep us occupied, I've come across this mix. A proper 90s Hardcore/Jungle mixtape. Made by Kickback, it's an hour and 22 minutes of proper 90s bangers. The tracks are powerful enough to keep you going.

The 90s were fantastic years. A wonderful decade, unique in every way imaginable. The music was more happier and rough, but not obnoxious. It spawned a new generation, who were all ready to hit the dancefloors and demolish them. Hands in the air, stomping their feet, and whistles everywhere. As aggressive as their dance moves were, the ravers themselves weren't. We were all there to be happy, and share our love and appreciation for rave.

Kickback's mix contains the big hits. And they are big. They used to be dancefloor smashers, and they have remained as awesome as they were, during the 90s. You still get a lot of people who get hyped up for these songs, just out of nostalgia but also because they were just better songs compared to the current climate. The 90s rock, without a shadow of a doubt. I'll happily go back in time, to relive the 90s again.

Fantastic. I feel young again. And guess what? The miserable weather outside has now turned, and it looks glorious outside. Sun is shining. It's like the almighty actually appreciates good music? Who knew?

Kickback's mix has got some serious hitters in it. Pure dancefloor smashers. If you were around in the 90s, and you were a full on raver, you must remember all of these records, right? Can't go to a rave and NOT hear these songs.

It's so weird to think that we class some of these records as Happy Hardcore, even though they made people loose their minds like never before, and they were initially classed as Hardcore. How weird it all went. They were maybe slightly happy, but were they ever happy enough to be as happy as those Happy Hardcore anthems from the mid 90s?

It's a beautiful mix, and it has been on repeat from 6am until 6pm. And I don't care.

Best record? One that no one can beat: 'Renegade Snares'. Come on, that song is in another league, a league on its own. A beast of a record. Timeless masterpiece.
