THE 1NCAST | #79 | Fer-D (2025)

It is Saturday, and the sun is out! It looked like it might be yet another boring and dark/dreary Saturday, but it all turned around, and now the sun is blasting the sunshine through my window, nearly blinding me. And after some house chores and a lovely walk around the local lake here in Stewartby, it was time to sit back, and enjoy a new mix. It's been a while since we last heard a mix by Fer-D (2023 was the last mix I've encountered), so it is about time for us to dive into his latest mix for 1NC1N.

I've seen the name 1NC1N before, but not really sure who's behind it. Fer-D is a name I have seen before, and I know it's going to be a great set. For the 79th edition of the 1NC series he was asked to create a mix, and he's gone back in time. Way back in time, to the oldskool. Did he go back in time? He certainly did. Once you scroll down and have a look at the tracklist, you'll know what I'm talking about.

And he dug deep in his collection. He's found some hidden gems, some oldskool classics you don't hear that often, or versions of classics not heard before. The mix is roughly 104 minutes long, but time flies by, and before you know it, you are playing it again. A trip down memory lane, who doesn't want to experience that?

Especially when the tunes are really cool. Fer-D has picked some awesome tracks. And if you are into Oldskool like me, you are going to look at the list and immediately you'll be amazed by the tracks. They are fantastic!

Oh, the memories. And also the impact of each single track. They didn't have a clue back then, but they made history. Why? By singlehandedly creating timeless classics, which will be listened to in a thousand years from now.

You might think, when the word 'Oldskool' is used, that it is all about the Hardcore. Well, you are slightly wrong. I would say that these songs pre-dated the Hardcore sound, and influenced it a lot. A lot of these records were used in many mixes, but played at a faster pace, so they might appear like Gabber anthems, but they were actually Techno anthems. Obviously the birthing place of Hardcore lies within Techno and House, and you can clearly hear that in most of these records.

Fantastic selection, DJ Fer-D. A truly amazing selection, and actually true to the term 'Oldskool'. This goes way back in time, when rave was still in its early phase, but it wouldn't be that long before it exploded and took the world by storm. The majority of these songs have become timeless classics, and only a handful are known as true classics. True, in the sense, that many people will think of these tracks way before others. And the main track for me is....

''Sounds Of Frustration''. Come on, as simplistic as it might sound, it has such an impact, and the beat is so freaking hard. This is one of those songs which would get the dancefloor filled quicker than any other song. A true Hardcore classic, and hard as hell!

No negative feedback, only love and appreciation for this dope ass mix. More of these, please.

I'm going back outside, to enjoy the sun. You should do the same. And play this mix in the garden. You'll thank me later!
