It's bloody 5 o'clock in the morning, and I am wide awake. Haven't slept whatsoever. I was tossing and turning in bed, and decided after 2 hours to get up, and go downstairs. So here I am, fully awake, listening to some Hardcore music from the early 90s, mixed together by the DJ we all love, Panic. And recently he has uploaded a few of his Facebook/Youtube live sessions. The one I'm currently listening to, was recorded on the 10th of April, and lasts around 2 hours. 2 Hours of fucking early Hardcore music. The golden years, 1992 until 1994.
I think it was late 1992, or early 1993, when I discovered Hardcore music. Still a young lad, I couldn't go to any parties until bloody 1998, but I was a full on Hardcore fanatic. Really loved the early sound. It holds the most memories. Listening to these mixes on shitty cassettes, walking around with your Sony My First Walkman with those big headphones, with shitty quality. Those were the days. Well, not when it comes to the music quality: the present day is much better. But for nostalgic reasons I do miss the early 90s.
I don't know why Panic started this online thing. Maybe he's done it before, maybe he was bored?God knows, I sadly missed it. Does anyone know if he's going to do a session anytime soon? Well, it's time for the tracklist. 61 records in a 2 hour long mix. All Hardcore from 1992/1993/1994. The early years. You will love it. And it will make you realise that we are getting towards 30 years of Hardcore music soon. Unbelievable. 30 years. Pfff.

Now, I'm not saying that the early sound was the best of the best ever. Of course a shit tons of crap records have been made, that's just inevitable. But thankfully Panic left most of them out of this mix. A few have snuck in, but thankfully not many.
It's good to see such a cool tracklist. From the well known anthems by the scene's biggest names, to the more obscure and underground stuff. It's a real treat for those who love and have embraced the early Hardcore/Gabber stuff. Panic's mix is literally full of the early stuff, and for 2 hours he's got you by the balls.
I know it's fucking silly o'clock, and normal people should be in bed, but I am awake, listening to Hardcore music. Dedication, and a tad stupidity. But I don't mind. If you have a mix and start it off with Moby's 'Thousand', I just can't push you away from me and ignore you. I have to listen to you, and love you.
Panic's mix is just really dope. A few small recording errors, but nothing major. A few shitty tracks, but I would say that 95% of the records selected are awesome. And the best? Well, it was difficult, but I have chosen 'Acid Yell' by Deaz D., remixed by Gizmo. Such an underrated anthem. Was that the same DJ who later did stuff with Bitte Ein Beat?
It's Sunday, fucking let's have it! Turn up the volume to the max, and rave the morning/afternoon away. Gabber 4 Life. I should pay more attention on social media. Really would have liked to see Panic in action, doing his thing. But hey, as the wife always says, I'm late. Soundcloud to the rescue!
