Every week at least once I'm thinking about Thunderdome. Last week it was all about Thunderdome, seeing as I got rid of my whole collection and burned them onto my PC and hard drive. And before you go and ask for a copy, you can do one. I'm not sharing my music with anyone: paid enough guilders and euros and pounds for my collection. But I've accepted the digital age. So to go through every single Thunderdome album was a throwback to the golden years of my childhood/teenage years. It was magical.
Thunderdome was forbidden in our household. Mum specifically told me off, never to have a single Thunderdome album. As sneeky as I was, I asked her to buy me Mysteryland 1994 CD, which had as first CD the live sets taken from the Thunderdome area. So she couldn't stop me. After purchasing that, the quest began. And let up to an unhealthy obsession with it. No other compilation came close. Thunderdome was my everything. It was live or die. And I'm not sorry for getting rid of them all: I've got them digitally, and also Soundcloud is filled with million hours of Hardcore fun. Like DJ CasketKrusher's 2012 mix! Which is a megamix, and I know you want to hear that.
His mixes have been intriguing since the first time I heard and saw his name. And with this one he decided to get the early Thunderdome albums, take a few records off of them, and put them into a blender, and out came a megamix. Like the old Thunderdome megamixes, eh?
The tracklist is a thing of beauty, if you like the early stuff. If you don't, I do apologies, but don't worry: you can still appreciate it. Let this educate you: this is what made Hardcore the way it is!

Serious stuff by Casketkrusher. Serious stuff. No fucking around. Just straight to the centre: the core of Hardcore. He's made other tremendously insane mixes (like a wicked Thunderdome megamix, not like this one), and every time he blows me the fuck away. Serious mix. Impressed again.
Don't get me wrong: I do love his Happy Hardcore stuff, but these megamixes are also the creme de la creme. Especially when they take me back to the days of me having short hair, a training suit (from the Bristol, not a Nike supplier or Australian), and driving my parents insane by playing this out loud. Teenager from hell, that's what I must have been.
During the 90s I never really understood the early stuff, maybe it was because of my age. But now I appreciate it all, pre 1995 or not. For me it all sounds good. There's no disappointing moment in Thundedome's long history. Yes, not all records have been a success and not all their compilations were as brilliant, but still they made me who I am. A full on Gabber.
There are a few tiny mixing errors. But nothing too drastic.
Another epic mix. I can't pick my favorite. Maybe DJ Jeremy's record. What's yours?
You can not download this, but still appreciate it. Thank you Casketkrusher and Soundcloud, for making my evening!
