Mind Control is back with a brand spanking new mix. Not with new music, but old music. That sounds quite negative, doesn't it? It sound demeaning, but that's not how I mean it. Old music is always better anyway, no matter how you phrase it. And when it comes to Hardstyle, nothing can compete with the early stuff, you know the good old stuff. Today's mix is filled with the early stuff 2 hours of Hardstyle, and 35 records. You couldn't wish for anything else today, right
It was uploaded 11 days ago, and I'm joint first in plays on Soundcloud. Why, you might ask? Well, even though it's a stupid question, but I do appreciate Hardstyle a lot. Especially when it entered my life toward the beginning of the Millennium. It has remained an important and crucial part in my life. Not ignoring the fact that I'm getting older, and before you know it, I'll be in my 80s, but I will still be rocking the anthems from the early days.
This is the second instalment, and strangely enough, I missed the first instalment. I might need to visit their channel to see if I can find the first mix in this series. And I also have to judge that one to this one. Which one is better? Which anthems suit me more? But that will be hard, as the tracklist for the current mix is a big one. Let me show you!

Wonderful, just wonderful, right? So many amazing songs in this mix. A great selection by Mind Control, and a certain crowd pleasing mix. If you haven't pressed play yet, what are you waiting for?
Of course the big anthems are in here. 'Lost In Paradise' is still probably the biggest anthem of all time, or am I making that up? But it's not the only anthem in this mix which makes me want to party hard until the sun rises in the morning. Instead of going all 'same-same', my best pick is something you might not have guessed in a million years, but it's ''Discover The New''. They don't make the tracks like that one anymore. Pure anthem.
The mix has got a few little ''issues'', but nothing major. The only issue I have got, is the use of 'Final Examination Of Time'. Boy, I am not a fan of Da Tweekaz and I find their music ridiculously bad. And this is yet another example why I dislike most of the things they have ever done. This is a track which should be buried in a Mexican desert, next to the infamous ET Atari game. What a crap song.
But still, most of this mix still gets me going, and gets me dancing in my living room. You should join us. Turn up the volume to the max and experience the anthems from our youth!
