No, this blog isn't about how future raves should be attended, and what the dress code should be like. It might seem that I am going to discuss the above picture, but clearly I am not. Not bothered, in that case. I am more focussed on the music that these two lads are bringing to the table. The lads I'm talking about are Infectious DJ's. Again, they are not carriers of the COVID-19 virus, or any other virus of any kind, it just seems that their name is quite suitable/funny during this weird period in our lives.
I've reviewed stuff made them before, but I cannot remember when that actually was, must be a long time ago. And now they've got this new podcast/mix series. I'm guessing that this will be a monthly podcast? They finish the mix info with 'tune in next month', so I'm guessing that they might do that. It would be nice to have them release a podcast every month. The second instalment has only been uploaded 1 day ago, and I am already all over it. It's been a while, you see, since I last heard a Rawstyle mix. It's been too long: I need my fix, and I need it right now.
So, what kind of classics have they used for this mix, eh? Here's the tracklist:
01. Ran-D & B-Front - Rebirth

17. B-Freqz - Overdose
18. E-Force - Blood Written
19. Delete - Formula (2012 Edit)
20. Radical Redemption - Annihilate
21. Radical Redemption - Civil Disobedience
22. Adaro feat Danny Scandal - For The Street
23. Regain - Broken
It made me think though: they stated that these were classic records, and I was thinking to myself that these records aren't that old, and then I went for a quick look online, and found out that they are older than I thought them to be. Obviously I didn't go through them all, but I remember 'Torture' when I was a few years younger. Turns out it's around 11 years old! Fuck me, where has the time gone to?
Well, how old they might be, they still pack a punch, even in 2020. A good selection by the Infectious boys. Really enjoyed this mix. Forgot about a few of the records they have selected. But then again, I cannot keep up with everything and every trend and every update lol. I'm not a walking Wikipedia page. I need to delete some cache/cookies from time to time, and sometimes that means that I forget a track even existed!
Best track in this mix? It was difficult, but you have to give all the credit to 'Torture' by Crypsis and Luna. I'm still feeling the force behind this records, and love it. It still makes me want to torture someone for real. But more importantly, I want to raise my fists to the heavens and stomp my feet hard on the ground. A Hardstyle classic, that's for sure.
Check out this mix. Worth your time!
