Club Rewind Vol. 1 (2025)

I've been very busy this weekend, as the weather was good. I've been outside most of the time, and I am probably sunburned. Well, that's my fault. I should have used protection, but I couldn't care less, that's just the way I roll. But besides me being extremely busy, I had to listen to something that could entertain me for the 5+ hours in the garden. And this was the mix I had found a couple of days ago. And this certainly takes me back to the good ol' days.

I don't need to explain the whole history, but just to give you a glimpse of me personally around the Millennium. Hardcore was going underground (or dying, depending on your views on the state Hardcore was in around 1998/1999), and I wanted to listen to something else, which could fill that void. I started to listen to everything all at once, and it included Club, Trance, Hard House, Bounce, and much more. I did the one thing a true raver would have hated: I went commercial.

But I'm glad that I did. Because around that time, so many great songs were released. Maybe generalised under the 'Club' umbrella, it offered a lot to lost souls like myself. They might have been cheesier compared to the music I grew up with, but at least I grew up listening to Happy Hardcore, which was cheesy on its own.

When this 'genre' took over, I embraced it, and I embraced it hard!

Boy, this brings back a lot of memories. Haven't heard a few of these songs in years! And the DJ behind this mix, Jumpin Jack, also included a few I've not seen or heard before. Or maybe I have, but you are talking about 25+ years ago. My memory might be a bit different at my age now, and I tend to forget stuff even more...

Don't get me wrong, I do love Club music, but it's never my all-time favourite genre/style of music. I do like it, but I could only rave for an hour or two, and then my battery is fully drained. Couldn't handle more than 2 hours, max. It is cool to hear those classics again, but like time, they haven't stuck around long enough. I don't even know what happened to this sound? Did it fade away? And if so, when did that happen?

It is all about the memories, and I've got plenty. Especially when 'Kickin Hard' kicks in. Of course one of the biggest anthems of that era. You couldn't escape that song, it was literally everywhere: radio, TV, and every CD compilation released back in the 90s/early 00s. It's catchy, that's for sure.

It did give me enough energy today, and I'm now absolutely drained. No energy left. Time to unwind, and take another trip down memory lane, as Jumpin Jack released a second mix in this series. Let's go back in time!

Ps. ''Jump Around'' is one of those bad songs you should not love, and certainly BoozyWoozy's least interesting song. Christ, that song is bad. I forgot how bad it was! And it sounded like any other song made by BoozyWoozy/Klubbheads....
