Last year has been a tremendously bad year for Hardcore music. In roughly 2 months we lost two Hardcore legends, two amazing pioneers. First we lost Chosen Few, and then Bass-D. I remember where I was, when I heard the news. I read it (when Francois Prijt a.k.a. Chosen Few) on Facebook, when fellow Hardcore DJs and producers started to change their profile pictures to complete black images. I felt lost on both occasions, as obviously both DJs and producers meant a lot to me, when I grew up in the 90s. And loosing someone gives you a shit feeling, regardless who it is.

For the Hardcore scene, it's an obvious loss. But it is harder for the family and friends of Francois. He has left a legacy behind that no one can take away from him, and he has been honoured on multiple occasions already, which he truly deserved. A pioneers since 1993, and the maker of one of the most well known and loved anthem ''Name Of The DJ'', he has given us so many great records over the years. He kept on pushing is own music but also music by others forward, over the years, and has been a huge artist for the label Mokum Records.

To honour him, another legendary DJ who goes by the name Buzz Fuzz, made this tribute mix. And as shit as it is, to see a tribute mix for a pioneer who has gone to the afterlife, at least it does bring a smile on my face, knowing that Chosen Few's music will last forever and ever, and we will rave until we can't anymore. And deep down inside, being a reformed individual who is more of a realist (I've been baptised), I do hope there is a Heaven, and if there is, I know those we lost over the years, are throwing a massive rave. A rave that will last a thousand years. And we will have Bass-D, Chosen Few, 3 Steps Ahead, and many more warming up the decks!

Let's see what Buzz Fuzz selected for his mix.

It is amazing to hear all these songs together in one mix, but it is also amazing to hear what Chosen Few brough to the table, for the three decades he was in our precious Hardcore scene. His music, his legacy, and his personality will be sorely missed.

Buzz Fuzz's mix is good. Chosen Few would have loved this mix. 71 minutes of nothing but Chosen Few. How cool is that? Even with this mix does it surprise me the amount of wicked anthems he released over the years. And how much of an impact he had on many, but certainly my life. I don't think you could go to a rave in the 90s and early 00s and NOT hear a Chosen Few record. They were rough, tough, and the kicks were so uniquely Chosen Few, but he still kept on innovating himself, and the style followed with him. He kept his own style, but progressed over the years.

He kept it all Hardcore. And his style I really appreciated. I can't tell you when I first heard a Chosen Few record, but it must have been ''Tranceparant''. That record sticks out to me, well before he made the biggest Hardcore anthem ever. But it's ''Doomzday'' which is his biggest record, in my honest opinion.

And I know this sounds a bit cringe, but he was a follower of my little website, on Facebook. I feel humbled by the knowledge that this legendary pioneer did follow the site. I did do a few reviews over the 10-15 years, and whenever it included his music or Mokum, he did share/read it.

Buzz Fuzz has done an amazing job. Go and check the video out on YouTube. The only thing I have as a comment: the video is so mesmerizing. I couldn't take my eyes of it. My eyes are now extremely dry and blood shot.

Chosen Few, a legend. To answer the question which you've raised many years ago: ''I want you all to tell me the name of my DJ''. And that name is Chosen Few. Keep those decks spinning in Heaven, and we will keep your name alive for as long as we are alive!
