The last couple of days I kind of had enough of the harder stuff. I wanted something to ease my mind, and luckily, I can always rely on ATTLAS. This superstar producer/DJ's Soundcloud page is always the best place to find awesome music. If you want cinematic music (or whatever it is you call it), his page is full of it. So I visited his page, and found a mix he made especially for last year's Electric Forest. Completely missed it when it came out. This hour long masterpiece does get recognized by the listeners. It's received nearly 15k so far, and it will go only up and up. This kind of music always attracks a lot of fans, and people are enthusiastic whenever they spot an ATTLAS mix. I'm one of them: have played his previous mixes over and over again, and have reviewed each and every one of them (besides this one, until now). Someone kindly posted the tracklist on 1001tracklist.com, and it's not complete: if you know the missing songs, please inform me and I will update it. 01. Aparde - Lumen 02.

He makes the intro even worth while. Even though I don't know which films he has taken it from, but it just seems to work extremely well! This concept is so unique and outstanding: hence why there are a LOT of fans out there, loving ATTLAS. You know when a mix is going to be good when your first record is 'Lumen'. Fuck me, what a record. But the next one is even better, and I find that record the ULTIMATE record! If you want to be relaxed/chilled, press play and hear this record! This took me to another dimension. And made me teary. Such a 'simple' yet effective record. This makes you feel human again. I can't find a flaw. I never can. ATTLAS' mixes are always picture perfect. So no more wasting time, let's just embrace the mix, and be in heaven! Because that's what this mix does to you!

I wanted to say that 2018 was Technikore's year, but I would be lying. Since he emerged onto the UK Hardcore scene, EVERY year has been Technikore's year. It's been an interesting few years for Technikore, if truth be told. I can remember going onto his website and downloading his HTID mix a long time ago, and now he's part of the well established order, leading the way towards a brighter future for us UK Hardcore lovers. And I'm proud to say that his 'EOY' mix is one you need to check out. It's a mix that does Technikore justice! I can't remember when I last downloaded a Technikore mix, but it wasn't that long ago: it contained a lot of these records you will find in his EOY mix. And I don't know what it is, but he is on FIRE! If you have been living in a cave and missed out on what this man has been releasing, you will be in for a shock! He's taking UK Hardcore to the next level, a level I really appreciate. It's focussed on two major styles: UK Hardcore and EDM. Cram them together, and you get what Technikore is making. And this nicely balanced music is just picture perfect! The tracklist is a thing of beauty. If you don't appreciate Technikore, please leave this Earth. But if you do, and you haven't checked this monster mix out yet, sit back and enjoy it, as much as I have! 01. Technikore & JTS - Careless 02. Technikore - 4AM 03.

Technikore - Hyperspace 2018 Is it wrong of me to say that Technikore is part of the elite? Maybe even better than the elite. Yes, Darren Styles and Gammer are amazing, but Technikore rules. These two legends have got a different take on music, which many appreciate, but for me Technikore remains someone focussed on UK Hardcore. And I like that slightly more. And production wise he's on spot! In this mix he used records made by himself, and also a few collaborations with artists such as Ravine, Mike Reverie, JTS, Suae, and more. One re-occuring theme is vocals. He loves vocals, and so do we. Things also need to stay uplifting: no dark and nasty stuff, with irrelevant drops and basses so nasty, it will make me soil myself. The music he's making keeps me on my feet, and makes me rave even harder! I think that's his goal as a producer: keep everyone raving. And he does exactly that! This mix is short. Only 47 minutes long. So don't expect records to be played 4 or 5 minutes. Max 2 minutes. But within those 2 minutes you want to move furniture away, put the stroboscopes on, and create your own living room rave! Fucking hell, he keeps us entertained for those 47 minutes. He does it ALWAYS! I can only find one tiny thing wrong with it: the S3RL record. I've tried many times, but I can't seem to understand his music. Sorry S3RL, no fan of the cheese. Obviously I'm still going to give this 5 out of 5 stars. Why? Because this mix is EPIC, and so is everything that Technikore does. And what I'm about to say right now might cause a stir within the scene, but he's number 1. Move over everyone else, Technikore is number 1. If the Hardcore Heaven awards would take place this year, he would win every award! Best record? 'To The Flame'. Niki Mak's vocals are simply superb!

Ravers, where have we all been? 6 months ago a new podcast series called Pod Noodle was released, and the fans went mental. It reaches nearly 20k plays on Soundcloud, and other places too (don't have iTunes or Spotify). And I think at the time my perspective was that it would be a monthly or bi-monthly thing. Didn't expect it to take half a year lol. But they are back, Ed and Gordon a.k.a. Alexander Norman. Their artist name sounds like an explorer's name, and in a way they are explorers: more about that later. Remember those classic podcasts? In which you would hear 2749 other artists pointing out who's podcast you are listening to? Well, this one is no exception, artists such as Gammer, Uncle Dugs, Breeze, 2 Bad Mice, and more, they will let you know what you are listening to. The younger generation might not have a clue why this is, but this little touch, I really like it. The early 2000s, it's all its fault. It was normal, and it should still be normal. Time for the tracklist. And seeing as it's all about Alexander, you will only get a tracklist filled with its name. Finger RSI, you are about to happen.... 01. Alexander Norman - Intro Mash Up 02. Ultrabeat - Pretty Green Eyes (Alexander Norman Remix) 03. Alexander Norman - Toys 04. Alexander Norman - Space Cube 05. Gammer & Whizzkid - Love You Every Day (Alexander Norman Remix) 06. Alexander Norman - Break The Rules 07. Darren Styles feat Andrea Britton - Show Me The Sunshine (Alexander Norman Flip) 08. Alexander Norman x Whizzkid - Need You 09. Alexander Norman - Kingdom 10. Alexander Norman - Frequency 11. Alexander Norman - King Cobra 12. Alexander Norman - Fight For Today 13. Alexander Norman - Watch My Bassline 14. Alexander Norman - Bass How Low? 15. Alexander Norman - Parade 16. Alexander Norman feat Ruth - Come United 17. Alexander Norman - Good Times 18. Alexander Norman - On Our Way They are different, aren't they? They are not your standard duo. But if I'm honest, I've not seen or hear a lot of UK Hardcore related mixes for a while now, don't know if it's slowly going down an unusual path? What I feel when I hear Alexander Norman is bouncy. Is it just me or is their main goal to get everyone bouncing up and down? And are their tracks also a tad focussed on the Bouncy Hardcore side of UK Hardcore? Is that what gets the kids going nowadays? If it is, I will feel old and young at the same time, because I like the bounce. Not the bounce bounce stuff, but this combination of UK Hardcore and bounce, that works for me. Towards the end you get a bit of waffle between Ed and Gordon. And how you can enter the competition. I'm not an MC, so there's no point for me entering. But also they talk about Guinea Pigs in Switzerland. That's awesome stuff. Anyway, the music is good. Bouncy. Happy. Which track made me happy the most? 'King Cobra'. Good and well written track. Love it! Sorry for the late reply, joined the band wagon a tad late, but as I said before, I'm not on iTunes or Spotify. I'm a Soundcloud abuser, only saw the podcast a few minutes ago! Anyway, let's see if we can get it to the number 1 position on Soundcloud. It's worth a go.

Today I've been a busy boy. But can you blame me: so much new music on Soundcloud! Like Neophyte Records' latest podcast series. A brand new one, called 'Hardcore Selection'.

Well, it contains the finest Hardcore anthems, some exclusive stuff, freebies and more. So worth checking out. So in this hour-ish long mix, what can you expect? Well, if you want a simple answer: the finest Hardcore anthems. A few originals, a few remixes, and a shitload of awesome beats. Mixed by Restrained. He will tell you how to win stuff too, but I'm not bothered about that. The music is my focus, and this mix is filled with wicked anthems by D-Fence, Nosferatu, Restrained, Furyan, and more. Time to check the tracklist. And you will feel happy that you have checked this beauty! 00. Intro 01. Nosferatu - The Show 02. Never Surrender - Smashing 03.

It contains the finest records, and exclusive records you will only hear here first, no where else! And it's probably got the record of 2019 in here, the best I've heard in a while! I can talk for hours, but it would only be positive. Go nothing negative to mention. Restrained has made this first podcast episode interesting, with shitloads of awesome records. But the best one, without a shadow of a doubt, is Nosferatu's 'Sanctity Of Space: Cassini's Journey'. It was voted as the Nr. 1 Bombshell, and for a bloody good reason. Anything space related gets extra bonus points, and this one does tick off all the boxes. Epic record by Nosferatu. Check this out right now! Don't waste your time doing nothing: make it worth while!

I seriously can't remember if I'd already reviewed this back in 2015 or 2016. But this mix does appear as if I'd already seen it, heard it, reviewed it. But simply can't access my old folders, so there's no point. Let's focus on it once again. It's one of those mixes you need to hear at least once in your lifetime, and if you are lucky, listen to it at least once a month. 24k+ already did, and they all seem to like this mix. Can't argue with that, to be fair. It's one sick mix! Back in 2015 Metalheadz organised a party called 'History Session' at Phonox. Don't know how the event was, but if it was all focussed on the early DnB stuff, you must have experienced a majestic night! For those who didn't go, let's focus on the mix, made by Bailey, a player from Blue Note. For this mix he selected the bad boy year of 1996 and picked the tunes that dominated the DnB dancefloors all over the world. And if I can speak out loud, 1996 was a tremendous year for DnB. Just look at the selected records, it will make your mouth water. Dribbling will happen. The tracklist is a thing of beauty. So let's dive straight into it! 01. Goldie - Still Life (Photek Remix) 02. Dillinja - Deadly Deep Subs Remix 03. Decoder - Fuse 04. Adam F - Metropolis 05. B.L.I.M. - Jeamland (DJ Trace's Word) 06. Doc Scott - The Unofficial Ghost 07. 808 State - Azura (A Mix By Dillinja) 08. Skyscraper - The Different Instrumental 09. Ed Rush & Nico - Technology (Boymerang Remix) 10. G Force & Seji - 3rd Rail 11. Source Direct - Secret Liaison 12. Adam F - Circles (Remix) 13. Cybotron feat Dillinja - Threshold 14. Ed Rush - Subway 15. Nasty Habits - Shadow Boxing 16. Dillinja - Armoured D 17. Hokusai - Black Rose 18. Skyscraper - Liberty One During the night you had several artists performing, and they were big names: Groorider, Randall, Lee, Bailey, Jubei, and of course the daddy of the lot: Goldie. Wish I'd gone to this event, but hey, at least we've got this wonderful mix. Bailey has done really a great job. These records have stood the test of time, and have become timeless (see what I did there? a DnB/Metalheadz reference joke). This hour and 10 minute long mix is really my thing. The thing with DnB is the fact that it takes you on this energetic journey, and time does fly by so darn fast: the notion of things happening around you fades away. You are in this unknown territory, and it won't let you go. This mix has been intoxicating from the very first moment. I had to press play again, and enjoy it over and over. I can't control myself. This is just heavenly music. Music given to us by the Gods. Only credit for this mix. Love, for an hour and 10 minutes. Bailey, you are a hero.

You have probably seen the name of this event fly by every so often. Ouwe Stijl Is Botergeil. Old style is horny (butter horny). This event series focusses on the Early stuff, and not the new stuff. Why? Well, the older styles are butter horny. Over the years they have had sick line-ups, and some of these sets (which you can find on Soundcloud) are really exciting. The line-up for this year's event is a good one: Lenny Dee, Placid K, Re-charge, Faniac, Delta 9, The Enforcer, Casketkrusher, and more. And guess who made a promo mix for this event? Correct, it's none other than Casketkrusher! You never need to look far to find beautiful mixes. Especially when Casketkrusher made them. He's a genius. I love his own production mixes a lot, and his set from OSIB a few years ago remains one of my all-time favourite sets, but I do also appreciate mixes like the one you are about to press play on. Don't ask me how he finds these rare records, but I've got this inclination that he spends a lot of Euros on these records. For example: check this tracklist out, and see how many of these records you know, and how many you don't know. There's a lot of unknowns in this mix. But is it worth it? Is this mix good enough to persuade people to get tickets and go ape? Well, I think a tracklist is needed, and I will let you know after if you should get ticket (hint: you should). 01. The Prophet - Dominatin' (Re-mix) 02. DJ Jordens - E.I.N.O.E.L. 03. Vulcanizer - Drop The Bass 04. Technological Terror Crew - 7 Motherfuckas 05. Brothers In Crime - Let Me Suck Your .... 06.

Bertocucci Feranzano & Tony Salmonelli - Class Axion - Take 2 20. The Scotchman - Mind Transfer 21. George Vagas meets Mike D - Hyperdome (Heavens Version) Oh my days! This is really tantalizing! Really astonishing, it has to be said! How does Casketkrusher find these anthems? And how come these are NOT played as much as they should? Is it because people are just forgetful, or cannot handle these raw beats anymore? Whatever the reason, it's dumb. You should hear these more often, these are classic anthems. And they have stood the test of time. Currently I'm bouncing my ass off here in London. Listening to some oldskool Hardcore. I do miss this atmosphere here, they should organise parties focussed on this music over here. But I can't seem to find them. Or it's cheesy music, or it's Jungle/DnB focussed Hardcore. And sometimes you just want to go all Dutch. Yes, there are a few Scottish and American producers in here, but the gist is still Dutch. Anyway, Casketkrusher's mix. It's great. And it's an eyeopener. You should get tickets for this event, just to see and hear this legend. Why not search on Soundcloud for his liveset from a previous OSIB event? That set is a beast. And if he's going to play like he did back then, you will be in for a ride of a lifetime. Tickets are only €20.05 (why the five cents???) and you can get all of this and more Early Hardcore sounds. There's no reason why you shouldn't go. Give me one good reason! Best record in this set? 'Hyperdome'. Not heard this one for at LEAST 10 years. But I forgot how great this record was.

It's been a good day. A hospital visit at the start, and after that I was allowed to work from home. And the first thing you do, is sit behind your computer and put the volume to 10. Or whatever the max is on your speakers. But to achieve the state of bliss, you need good music. And today, seeing as it has been a Friday, you need some Hardcore. Some good ol' frigging Hardcore from the glorious days. So Soundcloud, my mate, assisted me in the best way possible. I came across this French mix by Mr. vanux. Never heard of him or her before, but the thing that got me interested was the tracklist. And in particular one record, but we'll talk about that later. This was record for a radio show called 'Retro Is Not Dead', back in 2012. And the tracklist is a thing of beauty. Maybe two weird looking tracks, but the general gist is really good. This gets me going, if truth be told. Check it out! 01. Dorpzicht - Let No Fear 02. The D.O.C. - Flat Bass 03. DJ Sim - Simbiosis 04. DJ Dione & Unity feat Rachel - Frozen 05.

Rob Gee & Ralphie Dee - Sex, Drugs And Gabba House 20. The Destroyer - Break Your Speaker!! (2nd Mix) I forgive the DJ for adding a bad tracklist to this mix (there were a few big mistakes, some so bad I had to face slap myself). And I'm not 100% sure about track number 5: this definately does NOT sound like DJ Promo. He's made some cheesy stuff, but this isn't anything made by him. But I need to correct myself: a quick Google search lead me to this track, and it's definately made by Promo. I do apologize. Jumped to conclusion too quickly. Anyway, I've been a nob, so let's focus on the music. The tracklist shows promising records, including one of my favourite ones, made by the underrated Army of Darkness! 'This Is The Future'. What a classic anthem and a half! Haven't heard this in a while, and when I spotted this, it made the hairs at the back of my neck stand up! That legendary voice saying 'six hundred and sixty six...'. Scary is an understatement. This mix by vanux is nice. Not really tight as it should be, but it's enjoyable. It's got 'Frozen' in it (which is a huge disappointment), but at least it's got 'Frequencies', ' Necronomicon', ' This Is The Future' and more. I wouldn't mind pressing play again.

If you grew up in the 90s, Hellbound was the one thing we always listened to. This rougher sounding Hardcore was just our cup of tea, and sometimes it was all that could please us. And funnily enough, the haters of Hardcore said it wouldn't last long, but it clearly did! Back in 2012 they organised this demonic event, and the line-up was sickening! Painbringer (who made this promo mix), Leviathan, Laurent Ho, Delta 9, Mindustries, Lowroller, Synapse, Omkara, Nosferatu, Ophidian, and so many more. It's an unbelievable line-up, but fucking hell, we are nearly 7 years too late to get excited for this. Ah hell, that's a bummer. But at least we've got Painbringer's promo mix, eh? And it's a good one. If you love the early stuff. If you are a hater, join the queue, but don't bother us, eh? Anyhow, let's focus on this promo mix. 45 minutes of early stuff, and a few of Painbringer's own productions, what can go wrong? Nothing much. At least it's filled with underrated and mostly forgotten tunes. So that's a thumbs up from TCD, if truth be told. You will have a great time listening to this! Disappointment? Nah, not present. 01.

Boy, have not seen these names in YEARS! And I'm not lying at all. Thanks Painbringer for the reliving of the moment. And also by adding a few new records of yourself! I love that there are a handful of artists out there, still keeping the sound alive. Painbringer is one of them. Of course his biggest hit 'Words Of '95' had to be included in this mix, and it won't disappoint you. But the whole mix in general has not been something unpleasant to hear. It's been a trip down memory lane. And I reckon those who went to Hellbound now get flashbacks to when they danced on the dancefloor when Painbringer was given his all. I've got only credit for this lovely mix! Oldskool, just the way I like it!

Giuseppe Ottaviani, a legendary name in the Trance scene. Someone who really doesn't need to be introduced. If you are a fan of Trance music, you are already following him on all social media platforms, and are a fanatic on Souncloud. You are probably (like myself) fully into his music and listen to as much as you can. And you also get excited whenever he releases something new and exciting, like he did 4 days ago. A vinyl set? All Giuseppe records? Oh yeah baby! Now that's sexy. It's like Christmas has come early (or late, depending if you are a half full or half empty person). In this vinyl only set he has selected a lot of wicked records. But I'm not sure if these are recently made: it sounds like these were the early works of Guiseppe. Whenever it was made, it was made with love and passion, and you can hear it throughout the set. So much Trancy feelings, you cannot hate this mix. It's an hour and 14 minutes long, and Giuseppe, the genius he is, makes sure you are fully intoxicated by it. Trust me, this will brighten up your day! 01. Giuseppe Ottaviani - White Lady 02.

If you think this is too much Giuseppe Ottaviani, please leave this website, and whilst doing that, maybe leave this planet? Just a suggestion. Who doesn't love this Italian superstar? There's simply nothing to hate. Nothing. And this set also shows us the path he's been walking, and the fantastic future ahead (for all of us). Giuseppe, a legend! I really enjoyed this set. It's nice, calm, and becomes very much emotional when you want it to be. The power of Trance has no limits, and this showcase mix is just picture perfect. What makes it perfect is the way the music flows: there's no mistake throughout this set, and the flow is continuous. And THAT is what I want to hear. No sudden stop or judder when mixing vinyl records. Giuseppe is the master of the turntables. Which record is the best? Well, we can start a debate, but it's pointless. It's futile. Why? Because the best record is 'Through Your Eyes'. Simple. You can disagree, but your opinion isn't valid. The tremendous build up, you don't get that anymore. This record is really something unique, and stands out from the rest of the mix. What can I say? It's yet another smashing mix by this legendary producer. Go and check it out NOW!

As a regular visitor of the greatest review website in the world (voted as number 1 by my mother) you have seen over the years my dedication towards specific artists, artists who deserve not only the biggest stages in the world, but a Knighthood/Damehood. One of these artists is Sied van Riel. A huge fan I am, and am proud to be part of the Rielly fans. Since I discovered him many years ago, I have been attracted to his passion and dedication to showcase awesome Trance music to the world. It's only a pity that he doesn't come to London that often, rielly wish I could hear him play his music. His album got reviewed before. But because I lost everything, I have to do it again. But that's no problem for me, seeing as I rate this album highly. So high, I consider it to be one of the greatest albums ever made! It will not be number 1 (that goes out to Sensation White 2002), but it's definately in the top 5. Every time I want to hear good music, I fall back towards this album. It never, and I do mean NEVER disappoints me. Sied van Riel's fourth instalment contains so many underrated yet memorable Trance anthems, and they still remain excellent. Can't believe this album as rieliesed 2 years ago. And I still listen to certain tracks on a daily basis. That's insane. But, that's the power of Sied. The power of Rielism. And the power behind this well composed album. Two discs of marvellous music. Couldn't wish for anything else. I've been happy since the day I received it. And I do love to share my enthusiasm for it. Hell, I walk around with my Rielism shirt, proud as a peacock. And whenever someone asks me which album they should purchase, it's always this one. Rielism Volume Four. A masterpiece, highly underrated. Time for a tracklist. You've seen it before, and I've typed it before. But it still remains eyewateringly beautiful. CD 1 01.

Sied van Riel - Sirena (Mike Sanders Remix) 20. Amine Maxwell - Her Soul (Extended Mix) This mixed album doesn't take any prisoners. This is beyond anything I've heard in a long time. And it's fucking excellent! The quality is something we don't see that often, and even after about 2 years this album still sounds (and smells) fresh. Like it was only rieliesed yesterday. Which 2017 basically was. But the shameful thing is that you don't see these tracks appear a lot in mixes. When they really should. It's a shame. An album which makes me feel SO emotional, is that genuinely possible? Yes, is the answer. I do feel so many things at the same time, and cannot hide my tears with some records. Powerful Trance music. Yes, some are just straight forward dark Trancey stuff, but some do take you to levels you haven't been to before. Heaven? Pff, higher than that! You are in God's seat! You are looking upon the masses. That's what this album does to me. I shall break it down to two favourite records, seeing as there are two discs: on disc one I'm truly in love with three records, 'Avalon' by Nikolauss, 'Nyctophilia' by Steve Dekay and 'Elantria' by Omniks & Wonder Element. Judging the amount of plays I've got to give 'Avalon' the pole position. A wonderful record with literally everything perfect: it ticks all the boxes of being a timeless masterpiece. The second disc on the album also has a few amazing records, the two I really liked the most are 'Heliopause' by Robert Nickson and 'Rivella' by Sied van Riel and Richard Durand. I can't pick, I simply can't pick. OK, 'Heliopause' it is. But closely followed by 'Rivella'. One of the best mixed albums ever made. So damn great, would give it 6 out of 5 stars. But for now let's remain at 5, before we mess up the space-time continuum. I wanted to add the whole playlist, but that has disappeared on Soundcloud. But it's worth it, trust me. Get this album RIGHT NOW if you want to experience Heaven on Earth. Update 27.04.24: as I could not find the playlist on Soundcloud anymore, here are the Continuous mixes, taken from YouTube.

Am I the only one who sometimes wakes up and wants to hear a specific artist the whole day? The other day I felt the urge to hear something very happy (maybe sometimes a tad cheesy) and exciting, and in a weird way I started to have a craving for Alex Prospect. I wanted to hear his last album 'Dedicated', so I went on the hunt and came across this mix by ChexMixer on Soundcloud. You can imagine my state of happiness after hearing this. Before you get all angry and start trolling me, I do have the album. But it's on my home PC and at the time I needed to hear it, I was at work. So it was kind of complicated: couldn't go to my boss and say that I needed to go home to get an album. I would have been shot. So Soundcloud is always my friend in time of need. DJ ChexMixer's set is, as you would have guessed, an album showcase mix. According to the info this is the 8th so far. Haven't found the time yet to check the others, I wanted to hear only Alex Prospect. Does that make me a fanboy? Or just a huge douchebag? Whatever I am, I am dedicated (see what I did there?). It's a short mix. Which is slightly disappointing. Could have been much longer. But it still contains mr. Prospect's records, so I cannot complain! 01. Alex Prospect x Becci - All The Things 02. Alex Prospect x Klubfiller - True Feelings 03. Alex Prospect x Jack Ambrose - Closer 04. Alex Prospect x Joey Riot - Move Your Body 05. Alex Prospect x Gammer - Bad Bitch 06. Alex Prospect x Mark Breeze - Trvp Lyfe 07. Alex Prospect - Cameras, Action & Lights 08. Alex Prospect - Colours 09. Alex Prospect x Callum Higby x Rhezie - Watch Me Run 10. Alex Prospect - All Falls Down 11. Alex Prospect - Calypso 12. Alex Prospect x Darren Styles - Rock Right Now 13. Alex Prospect - I Don't Blame You I think I mentioned it in the original review, but if you've got artists such as Mark Breeze, Gammer, Joey Riot, Klubfiller, and the mighty Darren Styles, collaborating with you, you know you are the bees knees! Fuck me, that's impressive. But what's more impressive is the quality of the anthems! When you have a craving, always fullfill your needs. And when I did, I wanted more. So I kept pressing play over and over. This has dominated my working day completely. Sadly no-one in the office agrees with my musical choice (Hardcore, isn't that just boom boom boom?). So headphones were required, and they made working lush. Thanks Alex, for making my working day even better! This mix is a belter. It contains the records I needed. So damn good. But which one is just the best? To this question there's only one answer: 'Colours'. Such a happy vibes tune. The vocals are truly astonishing. And so goddamn uplifting! His finest record. ChexMixer's dedicated mix turns out to be really interesting. Worth a listen!

When Angerfist does something, he does it well. This Hardcore mastermind knows how to get the Hardcore masses all together at the AFAS in Amsterdam, and throw a wicked party for his latest album, which was obviously called 'Creed Of Chaos'. Not only was Angerfist there (would be slightly unusual if he wasn't!), he had a few friends there: Miss K8, Partyraiser, Denekamps Gespuis, Mad Dog, Drokz, Furyan, I:Gor, D-Fence, Le Bask, Akira, Crucifier, and MC Nolz. A nice selection of artists, if truth be told. Angerfist obviously recorded a few sets, including his own. And during his set, he showed the raving massive what they could expect to hear on his newest album. The event was packed solid: no tickets could be purchased due to it being sold out completely. There was no room whatsoever. Ravers everywhere. And it shows that Angerfist is number 1 in the scene. This masked hero, this legendary producer, has done it again. This liveset is such a bliss, and it contains wicked fucking anthems. Maybe I shall purchase his album, shall it? I've already got all the others, but simply forgot this one. Anyway, it has already been listened to nearly 28k times, but no-one posted the tracklist on Soundcloud, I had to do a quick search, but that wasn't difficult, so here's the tracklist: 01. Angerfist - Send Me To Hell 02. Angerfist - Taking Charge 03. Angerfist & T-Junction - F@cking With Yo Head (Broken Minds Remix) 04. Angerfist - Black Hole 05. Angerfist - Wise Guy 06. Angerfist & DJ Mad Dog - From The Ashes 07. Angerfist - Boomstick 08. Angerfist & Ophidian - Nothing Is Real 09. Angerfist - The Law 10. Angerfist - Overdose Music 11. Angerfist - Crusader 12. Angerfist feat Syco - Bassline Abuser 13. Angerfist & Outblast feat MC Tha Watcher - Die Hard 14. Angerfist - Brainfall 15. Angerfist - Buckle Up And Kill (Luxxer Remix) 16. Angerfist & Radical Redemption - Day Of Reckoning 17. Angerfist feat MC Nolz - Creed Of Chaos If you were looking to get an Angerfist overdose, you have not to look any further! This set is only 45 minutes long, but within those minutes you do get everything Angerfist related. A wicked album showcase set. But would you expect anything else from this mastermind? To 'met de deur in huis vallen', the MC is not a contribution of the set. But I think I've said that before many of times. Maybe it's different when you are there, but sitting here it just sounds like he's just screaming constantly, even when it's not needed. Never understood why Angerfist needed an MC. When it comes to the actual set, the records are again spot on. This genius knows how to keep Hardcore interesting. He obviously is influences by other styles, and you can hear it very clear in each and every record. But, as always, which record is my favourite? It has to be said, it's the name of the album's song 'Creed Of Chaos'. The last record. And what a record to end your set with! This showcase set was only 45 minutes long. He could have had longer. Don't know why he only had 45 minutes. But within those minutes he penetrates your skull and leaves you strangled and multilated (see what I did there). He has got this gift to keep the fans intoxicated, every second of his set. The world owes a lot to Angerfist. And that's why he's number 1 every year! No-one can top this legend.

Today, at work, I wanted to hear some oldskool House tunes. And for me during the 90s, the only compilation that mattered was Turn Up The Bass. Yes, House Party was great, but not as good as TUTB. So a quick Soundcloud search for something related to TUTB (I was hoping the albums would be on there), but I found something else! A mix by Arjan van der Paauw. By judging his name he looks kind of Dutch, like myself. So he probably also grew up with this majestic compilation. His mix is a mix and mash. You get the classics, the ones we all love, and a bit more. It's a megamix: 58 records in 58 minutes. So don't expect to throw a House Party which will last for hours: this party only lasts for 58 minutes. But those 58 minutes are so glorious. This music is much better than everything produced nowadays. This is timeless music. And Arjan did pick a nice selection of records. Finger licking good! If you weren't born after 2000, this tracklist will be much appreciated by yourself! 01. TKA - Crash 02. Technotronic - Get Up 03. Studio X - Los Kings Del Mambo 04. Mixmasters - In The Mix 05.

Duke - So In Love Now that's a tracklist I wasn't expecting! So many 90s classics in here! Sweet Lord, this is really interesting. A trip back into memory lane. When TCD was a young lad, dancing in his bedroom with his My First Sony walkman. Yep, that's me. I was young, but I loved this music. This is what made me a huge music lover. And can you disagree: this music is so damn powerful. Play it in front of any crowd, and everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE will love these tunes. Whoever this person is who made this mix, credits to him. He has made my day slightly more interesting. Just to see these anthems in one mix is just astonishing! Some are obviously well know, but also a lot I've completely forgotten about! It's time for me to sit down, go into my TUTB folder and start going through them all! It's not an easy task to pick a favorite, when the whole mix contains only dancefloor slammers of the 90s. But seeing as I am a raver (in hart en nieren) I've selected Moby's 'Go'. A true timeless masterpiece. Some tracks are just a bit meh, a bit cheesy (like 20 Fingers records), but it suits the era. It was the time of people experimenting. So I can't blame Arjan for choosing them. Do you want a proper trip down memory lane? Look no further!

I've missed so many parties! Why this statement, you might be wondering? Well, that's because of the fact that I found this set on Soundcloud today, during an extremely crappy day. I wasn't having the best day, and felt in need of something powerful. Something that could uplift me. I could listen to all pop music, but that would make me suicidal. Uplifting to me means music that takes me to a higher atmosphere, a unique level only visited by die-hard Hard Dance lovers. Not the fakes: they will fall down flat on their asses. Only the die-hard fans will know what I'm talking about. Soundcloud offered me Delete's set, recorded at Supremacy 2015. Not only was it Delete, but it was an exclusive premiere of Delete VIP. Don't really know much about Delete or his VIP music, but it's still raw and rough, and that's uplifting enough for me. This Australian producer had the honor to present his music to the mad Supremacy fanatics, and they loved it. And after hearing it, I could count myself in. Not sure if I've actually heard this set before. It does ring a bell, but I'm not sure. Time for the tracklist. Someone was so kind to upload it on Soundcloud. Thank you sir! 01. Delete - Dismissed Again 02. Deetox - Still Here (Delete Remix) 03. Delete - Emergency VIP 04. Delete - Ghetto VIP 05. Delete - Level VIP 06. Jack Of Sound & Delete - Heavy Damage 07. Delete - Just Do It 08. Geck-o - Smasher (Delete Remix) w/ Deetox & Delete - Android 09. Delete - Eden VIP 10. Delete & Deetox - Fatal VIP 11. Delete - Syndrome VIP 12. Delete - Corruption VIP w/ Delete - The Curse 13. Delete & Warface - The Baddest VIP This is disgustingly beautiful! Raw as it can get. The thousands of plays so far show peoples dedication of spreading the music, and his set is just pure filth! I've soiled my underwear, listening to this mix. Such a filth, on a different level! And THAT'S the level I was looking for! The set was only 31 minutes long. That's disappointing. But the end result is 30 minutes of smashing your head against the wall (of sound), and having your eardrums pierced with continuous filth and anxiety. You cannot control your body when you hear these VIP versions of his already famous records. For me it was an introduction: seen his name in mixes, but never a full-on Delete mix. There's a small mixing error (track starts to skip), but Delete quickly turned it around. He doesn't fuck about, and makes sure you do get what you paid your well earned money for. You will not easily forget this set. I've got no complaints. This has made my miserable day slightly better. I need more of this: I will go on the hunt for more. Maybe more Delete, who knows?

New year, new mixes pouring in. And today it's all about the mysterious masked hero, M-Project. Since he first appeared on my timeline he's been a mystery to me. I've always tried to figure out who the man is behind the mask, but he has hidden it so well, I don't even think he knows who he is without the mask. M-Project 24/7. Anyway, before I start loosing the plot (like I always do), let's talk about his latest mix on Soundcloud! This mix was (if I'm correct) a liveset, recorded at Polyphonix Countdown 2018 - 2019, at Face Shinjuku, in Tokyo. I could be completely wrong, but I had to translate the original website. Half of it was written in English and the other half in Japanese. I tried translating the page, which made it a bit of a mess. At first I thought it was an online broadcasted thing, but I think it's a real thing in a real club? Anyone who has been, please confirm?! His set took half an hour, and within those 31 minutes he showed me that he's still the King of Powerstomp. Not many producers do keep it alive and kicking, and yet M-Project never seems to stop or surrender to the peer pressure. He does what he does best, which resulted in an extremely tasty set! A set you should check out! 01. Scott Brown & M-Project - The Revolution (VIP Mix) 02. Instigate - Powerstorm 03. M-Project & Mitomoro - Starshine 04. Plus System - Commence (Synthwulf Remix) 05. Vau Boy & M-Project - Toy Shop 06. JOYRYDE & Skrillex - AGEN WIDA (M-Project Flip) 07. RIOT - Overkill (M-Project Flip) 08. PSYQUI feat Such - Your Voice So ... (M-Project Remix) 09. Minus The Crown - Live For That Energy (2018 Mixdown) 10. Scott Brown & M-Project feat Krystal - The Spark 11. Joey Riot vs Kenny & Caz - The Time Is Now 12. Paul Elstak - Luv U More (Tweekacore x Gammer Flip) See, I told you the tracklist looks interesting, and now you should press play and start absorbing the music, the way it was intended. I can not express my happiness when I discovered this mix. I am always delighted to hear anything by this Japanese superstar, and with this he delivers the goods. The result is a wicked mix, which has brought a smile on my face. Obviously he had to add a few of his own productions in here, including the massive tracks he did with the legendary Scottish UK Hardcore King Scott Brown. But not only that, he also included tracks by several big stars from all the globe. The only negative thing I could find was the fact that he used 'Luv U More' in his set. Maybe the ravers do appreciate this track, but I'm really getting sick and annoyed about the Tweekacore guys. It's not my cup of tea, and quite frankly, rubbish. But that's just me. I'd rather listen to Susan Boyle on repeat for 24 hours. All the other 11 records are amazing. No word of a lie. M-Project knows how to please the fans. But which record did the most to me? I do love 'The Revolution', but the original mix is the best for me. But 'Commence' is just such a dancefloor anthem, remixed by Synthwulf. That's the one for me! Check out this superstar's set, and let this take over your Sunday. You have deserved it!

Smith and Brown, the discovery of 2018. Or was it 2017? Well, whenever it happened, it was a discovery. When I heard their 'Last Landing' record for the first time, it blew me away! This fresh sounding Tech Trance record has such a depth to it, and it was exactly what I needed to hear. And these two legends have uploaded a nice NYE gift for us: a 3 hour and 20 minute long EOYM. And if you are too old to figure out what that stands for: End Of Year Mix. In this mix you can find a few own productions, a bootleg, and a lot of other amazing sounding records by well established names such as Project 8, Scot Project, Sneijder, John O'Callaghan, Sied van Riel, Will Rees and more. The other day I reviewed DJ RAM's yearmix, and it was good, but sometimes you just want to go all out, and listen to darker Trance music. And Tech Trance delivers all the goods. This mix might seem long, but before you know it, you have listened to it completely, and it starts again (unless you haven't ticked the 'repeat' button on Soundcloud). But it's a must-listen to mix. Trust TCD, we are always right! 01. Maarten De Jong - Cast Iron 02. Alex Di Stefano - My Shadow 03. Sied van Riel - Atomic Blonde 04. Marco V - Switchim (HP Source Remix) 05.

True Tech Trance (and let's not forget the Trance lovers) lovers will adore this mix. It's a thing of beauty. And as I mentioned before, time does fly by once you pressed the magical 'play' button. These two legends know how to make music sound much better, and this mix had to contain at least a few of their own productions. And they got that covered. It's nice to see that they get the recognition they deserve. Since 'Last Landing' they've had releases all over the place and they gain fans every day! Smith and Brown, a duo you need to look out for. Or in this case, don't, because you've got their mix right in front of you. Which record was the best in their EOYM? I had 38 records to choose from, and it wasn't easy at all! But the one that got stuck in my head the most is Alex Di Stefano's 'My Shadow'. What a wicked anthem! I've got to give Smith and Brown credits again for yet another awesome mix. Keep up the good work lads, keep up working on your excellent and mysteriously sounding Tech Trance. It's much appreciated. TCD loves it!

The other day something magical happened: someone from the Hardstyle scene started following me on Twitter. None other than the most Scottish looking DJ called Caine! Truth be told, I had to look up some info about this bearded warrior. I've seen his name before (it did ring a bell) but not really sure what his back story was/is. Turns out he's much younger than me (nearly 9 years younger), but it's the beard that makes him look 48. Anyway, this bearded Rawstyle fanatic started following me (maybe it's got something to do with GPF?) and I got excited! Why? Well, I have seen his name before and knew of his existence, but never actually reviewed a set by him. So I thought 'let's visit my old friend Soundcloud and see if it has something for me I can talk about'. And there it was. Among other stuff on it, a liveset! With a tracklist! Now that blew me away, and my excitement level did rise to an unusual high. And it became idiotic after hearing the set the first time! I've never had the chance to go to Defqon.1 due to my illness and work, but it does have a reputation. If you play there, you have made it. You play in front of the hardest crowd in the world. And truth be told: the Dutch know how to party. But so do the Scottish, so to ask Caine to play at Defqon.1 in 2016 was an obvious choice. And the crowd seemed to love it! You hear them throughout the set. Anyway, tracklist time! 01. Caine - Prepare For Glory (Defqon.1 Edit) (feat a Fuck tonne of Flanger) 02. Caine - Saviour 03. Caine - Product Of Environment 04. Caine & Chimera - Face Us 05. Caine & Deimos - Anguish (2016 Edit) 06. Caine & Deimos - Together 07. Unresolved - House Of Caine (Fuck U Ihor Edit) 08. The Masochist & Chosen Few - More Drugz? (Caine Remix) (More Kickz Edit) 09. Caine - Blow U 2 Pieces 10. Apexx - Insanity 11. Chris One & Caine - Eden 12. Caine - There Will Be Blood 13. Apexx & Caine - Sweaty Baws 14. Psyched & Caine - Dead Men Walking 15. Caine - A Phat Beat! (A Phat Swedge Edit) 16. Caine - Let's Get Pillz 17. Caine - Part Of The Game 18. Caine & Deimos - The Black Sacrament 19. Apexx & Jason Payne - Life's A Bitch 20. Caine - Abomination This is my full introduction into this bearded mystery DJ's world. He looks genuinely like he escape from a very cool and dope post nuclear world- PS4 game. And his music sounds exactly like that! It's raw to the bone, and it does give me one too! (a boner of course). But before we start getting hyped up, let's talk about the music, and not my General's status (General = my genital). The music is intoxicating. It's really refreshing! I don't know what it is with Rawstyle, but it grabs me and doesn't let me go. It makes me hyped up to such a point: if I'm driving, I will generally start driving ridiculously fast and start flashing everyone. It makes my nipples erect, but that's my problem. My parents would say this is aggressive music, and they have got a point. Normally I'm not an aggressive person, but this makes me aggo. And happy at the same time. But there's a huge disappointment with Caine's set. The stupid 'Defqon.1' jingles. Don't know how they creeped up, but they did not align with the music whatsoever. And it kind of annoyed me. The music is great, and it keeps my heart's BPM high, but hearing 'Defqon.1' randomly is just a tad weird. And the person with the mic in his hand... should know when to stay quiet and let Caine's music do the talking! Best record? Oh, there were so many. But the level of darkness like I've never heard of before, was reached during 'Product Of Environment'. The vocals just made the record excellent! I also liked the weird 'A Phat Beat!'. The Scottish have got a thing, their lingo is just so excellent. Wish I could speak it. It would make 'Trainspotting' much easier for me to understand. Anyway, besides the jingles being a pain in the arsehole, the set is wicked. Just what I needed to get me going through the weekend. I must and shall see Caine this year. I need some of his raw Hardstyle coming in my ears (well, that might sound wrong, but you know what I mean!).

The Hardcore magician is back! Before we start talking about this year mix, let us all wish you a happy New Year. Hopefully 2019 will become a better year, but it's all down to us. But truth be told: if you have just woken up from your intoxicated state and pressed play on this Ophidian mix, you will have a fantastic 1st of January. And that's exactly what I have done. Why else am I awake at 10 o'clock? Maybe because I did not drink a single thing, besides cola? 2018 has been a good year for Hardcore music, and Ophidian had also a tremendous year. Throughout the year I have reviewed several Ophidian mixes, or mixes which included records by this mastermind. And for his year mix he has gone all out: it's only 36 minutes long, but he made sure you would get your Hardcore kick. A few new records, a few remixes of all-time classics made by Ophidian, and all carefully mixed together by the genius himself. Christmas 2019 has come early. Let me show you this fantastic tracklist. It's one you are really looking forward to, if you love Hardcore. If you do not, what the hell are you reading this review for? 01. The Outside Agency & Ophidian - Church Of The Silence 02. Ophidian - Only One 03. Ophidian - Lynched (Tymon Remix) 04. Ophidian - Dear Air 05. Ophidian & Ruffneck - So Many Sacrifices (Rapture Remix) 06. Ophidian - The Chosen (Decipher Remix) 07. The Outside Agency & Ophidian - The Return Of The Silence 08. Ophidian - Crime Passionnel (Miss Hysteria Remix) 09. Ophidian & Ruffneck - So Many Sacrifices (NeoX Remix) 10. Nosferatu & Ophidian - Eyes Closed To The Dark 11. Ophidian - The 909 Track 12. Avengers - Endgame Trailer (Ophidian Remix) If you are an upcoming DJ, let me give you one piece of advise: always use Ophidian records. These are highly anticipated and always are made of high quality. And of course Ophidian would use his own records, wouldn't you? But as a tip, you will grab people's attention when you use his records. Fuck me sideways. He used the Avengers - Endgame Trailer as his last track! How awesome is that? And he made that trailer his own! He should write trailer music (not for trailer people of course). But again, fuck me sideways, this is pure filth. And I adore the Avengers, so this has got to be the best record in this mix. Damn, why does it take so long before this film comes out? I've got absolutely no negative comments. This is yet another masterpiece by Ophidian. This man can not make or release something so bad. It's not in his nature. It's the gift that keeps on giving. And with this year mix he has given yet another excellent mix. Go and check it out right now!

The end of the year is emerging quickly, and why not end the year with an unusual mix? A kind of music I used to adore to the bone, but sadly grew out of it. Don't know why, but I do. 4x4 Bassline music, or just generally named Bassline, it used to be so extremely big. And the thousand mixtapes I downloaded, a testimony for my love and admiration for the sound. I don't even think that I have heard a Bassline mix in 2018. Or maybe I have, but forgotten all about it. Anyway, someone reposted a mix by Tony Tribe. I got intrigued and wanted to hear more. And boy, I didn't feel disappointed after. No joke, I felt happy, because this kind of music takes me back to the golden days of Bassline. As I said I used to download all the mixtapes by DJs such as EJ, Beez, Balistik, 1QY & F@Z, Cripster, Murkz, Freddo, Reflex, Teefy and more. Don't know what happened to half of them. But Tony Tribe's mix fits nicely in this list. The way its mixed and the records he has selected. Wow. It will make you smile. Let me show you the tracklist. If you are a 4x4 fan, you will feel a warm feeling on the inside. Don't resist it, let it happen to you. 01. Burgaboy - I Changed My Mind 02. Trakpot feat Kristi - Best Thing 03. Stats Man feat Rae Rae - Weak 04. Piddy Py - Deak Me All Night (Dark Like Wesley Snypez) 05. Subzero feat Sacha - Sweet Revenge 06. DJ Pantha - Badman Forward (Terror Dome Mix) 07. 24K - How You Like It 08. ADotR - Run Up The Dance VIP 09. Burgaboy feat Leon YT - How Would You Like It 10. Rebz - War VIP 11. Speedy - Fear Gonzales 12. Mr. Virgo - Hypnotic (USF Refix) 13. Burgaboy & Angie - Mortal Combat 14. 1QY & F@Z - Dr Pepper 15. Mr Figz - Headlock 16. Cheeksta - Baby (Caliber Remix) A few of these anthems I'm familiar with. Especially with Burgaboy's songs. To me he was the ultimate. Bass Boy was dope too, and DJ Pantha. But he ruled the dancefloor. And before you start harassing me, I could use a different way of expressing myself, but I'm the whitest person on God's given Earth, and it wouldn't suit me. Anyway, Tony's mix. Yeah, he used the classics. But also a few I've never heard of before. But that keeps it interesting. A few cross fading errors, but nothing too drastic. Which is my favourite? Well, sorry to say, but it's 'How Would You Like It', by Burgaboy feat Leon YT. This is one of those records that float in your head for such a long time. The lyrics are so extremely catchy. I loved the fact that Tony also used the jingles. That was a thing. Every mix from the golden years had jingles. Sometimes more jingles than actual records. Everyone talking through the records. I missed that a lot. It was sometimes a nuisance, but I liked it. Especially when you had an intro so damn long, it included everyone from the Bassline scene! The last review of 2018. So let's go out in style!

Jason S, what are you doing to us again? The megamix mastermind has returned with a brand spanking new Thunderdome mix, with the finest records from the past, present and future. To be precise: a hundred and one records. Yeah, when Jason S does it, he does it well. He doesn't fuck about. Towards the end of the mix he plays the newer stuff, and seeing as I've not heard these before,I hope it will be good. Thunderdome never disappoints. Neither does Jason S. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't he play at the last Thunderdome event? And people could vote for their favorite record? Or was that another artist? I think it was Jason S. And if that is indeed the case, you have to give the man credit: not only playing at Thunderdome, but also having your mixes shared on the official Thunderdome Facebook page. The last mix grabbed a lot of people's attention, and this new one has also done exactly that in a short period of time. So, the mix. Yes, it's a megamix. An hour long, with a hundred and one records in it. And those oldskool records, boy, seeing those appear in this list is just astonishing. I've got a thing for the older Thunderdome records, the classics. And I think the true die-hard fan has got the same feelings. Jason S, will this be your finest mix so far, your finest hour? We'll fine out! 01. Jason S - Intro: Start Sequence Early Hardcore 02. Dyewitness - Brrrr 03. DJ Sim - Simbiosis 04. The Dark Raver & DJ Vince - Intelligent Hardcore 05. Dr. Macabre - Poltergeist 06.

You've seen it here first (well, probably not to be fair). But what you have noticed is that this is a super extreme diverse tracklist. You have got literally everything mashed together, from the old to the new. Obviously, me being an oldskool gabber the older section appealed more to me, but I gave the newer stuff a go. The older, classics anthems are all awesome. Jason S' selection is without a doubt awesome. His mixing skills are through the roof, and has made this mix extremely interesting. Even after the 'Middle Chill' section it stays highly entertaining. But the newer section, does that appeal to yours truly? The answer is simple: no. I'm not feeling the Sefa vibes yet. At the moment I do not see him as the talented boy, the gifted one. Videos of him are shared in their thousands online, but I'm not feeling it. Before the third installment of the Die Hard collection was released, many disagreed with him being on the album. Well, that was a bit harsh, because everyone deserves a chance. But if I would have bought it, I would have left that disc aside. It doesn't do a single thing to me. Anyway, that's just my perspective. You might think he's the 'wunderkind'. Ah well. All the other records are awesome. But the older section still rules. No question about that. And I can't pick one favorite: they all rock. And what also rocks is Jason S' skills. Yet another amazing mix. Don't know how he's done it. The megamix man has returned!

I told you the other day that this is the time of year in which we are hearing and seeing a lot of 'end of year' mixes, and the second one I came across has been made by Trance legend DJ Ram. His EOYM is a thing of beauty: a 4 hour long mix, with 61 amazing Trance anthems. If Santa Claus could give us the ultimate gift, it's probably this one. Who does not want to hear a 4 hour long Trance mix during these dark and gloomy days? You might be thinking that it's quite hard to listen to a 4 hour long mix, and you are wrong. Today was the 'cleaning the house'-day. Which meant that I needed music to keep me occupied. And Ram's mix is just the perfect one to keep me going. I needed that a lot, and it made the time fly by. It did went by extremely quickly, and that's all down to the power of the music. Trance music, you can't go wrong with it, eh? It's the end of the year mix, so you will find a whole lot of amazing tracks which have been released/played during this wonderful year. And once you have seen the tracklist, it will literally put your mind at ease: the end of the year has emerged, and there's only one way to celebrate this year. In style! 01.

Quench - Dreams (Nicholson's Extended Cathedral Remix) 49. Lostly & Prodigy - Smack My Causeway RAMashup 50. Scot Project - D (Don't Go) 51. Sneijder - Decimate The good thing about this mix is not only its length, but also the fact that RAM has used a lot of records by known and upcoming names. Or maybe I have misinterpreted that : still don't know half of the producers. But hey, it's all about the music, and that's exactly what you get! It's been a good year, not just for Trance music, but for all styles. But Trance has seen a booming year, with excellent releases. And without a doubt, RAM's mix contains shitloads of them. He went all the way, and made this fantastic year mix. The four hours (as I said before) do fly by ridiculously fast. But that's not just because it's his mix, but it's because Trance music is so powerful, and can travel through space and time. Trance is the black hole of the music scene. It can uplift you, and take you somewhere else, without you even moving! Quality over quantity. Well, you get both. Some records were a bit less interesting. Can't name them, because I was not looking at the tracklist when the mix was playing, I was working (remember?). They were alright, but not exciting. But that's only a handful of records. I would say 91% of the records did kick ass. I can't pick a favorite. I simply can't. You can't pick at all! It's 4 hours long! So it's difficult. A generous mix. You won't find mixes this interesting today. Maybe tomorrow there will be one, but today RAM's mix is the one taking us to the next dimension.

The Lethal Sound. Who has not heard of them before? Well, I haven't. I only stumbled across them today, after someone retweeted their mix from 2 months ago. It was for an event I'd not heard of either: Resonate. For any who are anticipating on going: you are too damn late. This party has already happened. So you might want to wait for next year's event. Until then you've got a wonderful and exciting Millennium Hardcore mix to listen to, longer than usual! What the Lethal Sound have done is mixed 68 records, all records from the golden and amazing years of Hardcore (which were between 2005 and 2011). So basically what you could expect at Resonate. So do not think these are records from the early days, but all Millennium Hardcore anthems. And we all want a bit of that. We all love this sound. Their mix is a megamix. And it's a silly one: a 3 hour and 13 minute long mix! This will get you through the day. And it does not get boring at all! What it does to me is reminisce to the golden age. And how I danced to all of them. I know each and every record. I am a Hardcore junkie. A proper one. So you can imagine my state when I saw and heard this mix. Thanks, Lethal Sound. 01.

So you can imagine what I've been doing, eh? Listening to this mix on repeat since 7 o'clock this morning. And it has been extremely good. The day has flown by so fast: can't even remember what the first thing was I did this morning! Anyway, The Lethal Sound. They've made a very good mix! A very interesting mix. One that made me moist to the core. This is exactly the kind of Hardcore I wanted to hear. Not everyone else in the house, they are all bored to the core. They hate Hardcore. Well, sod them! I loved their selection. And every time I press play, I find 'new' records as my favorites, and I can't pick. One second it's an Angerfist song, the next one it's a remix, or whatever. And it still remains highly entertaining. There are a few tiny cross fading issues. Nothing major. Even though I've not been to this event, I'm still enjoying this promo mix. And I think you all should do the same. Embrace the past, and make it into the new year with this slammer mix!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. I know I had a brilliant one. And I know we are all still recovering from eating too damn much, and getting annoyed at the shitty presents we received (and obviously are ecstatic about the ones we really liked), and we just count down towards the end of the year. But if you are a fan of UK Hardcore and you want to go out raving during the end of the year, have you heard about this event in Milton Keynes? The actual party is a mouthful. The event is called 'I Love Happy Hardcore & One Big Bash NYE 2018'. And if you haven't clocked it yet, it's on Monday the 31st. Where? In Milton Keynes, Unit 9. They will take you into the new year with a bang. The lineup consists of acts like DJ Seduction, DJ Sy, DJ Vibes, DJ Billy Daniel Bunter, Mr Ripley, Topkat, and more. And for only a handful of pennies you get entry to a wicked event. And guess what? Jenna is performing there, live on stage, singing 'Heart Of Gold'! Why am I stating out the obvious? Just read the damn flyer! To get everyone hyped up, Mr Ripley has made a promo mix, 36 minutes long, containing true oldschool Hardcore classics. You will love this. It does contain the well known records and a few underground tracks I've not heard before. 01. Da Edge - Not Alone 02. Interstate - From The Underground 03. Project X - Mobotron 04. Ham - There's A Heaven 05. Stargazer - Ultimate High 06. Fade - Come With Me 07. Scott Brown - Return To Elysium 08. Bo & Luke - Angel 09. Dougal & Gammer - Kick The Nation 10. Uplift, Cris E Manic & Lukozade - Hard Jam 11. Eclipse - 24/7 12. Brisk & Ham feat MC Whizzkid - Crazy Love Did you spot the recognizable records? The dancefloor smashers? Those records which have dominated the dancefloors for many years? Yeah, I did too! But for a UK Hardcore lover I did spot a few records I have not heard before! Don't know how Mr Ripley got hold of these, but I'm thankful that he used them in his mix. And if you are going to this event (which I would advise you should) you can hear more of this kind of music. Just pointing out that I'm a huge Scott Brown fan, and have got a few of his albums, but none of them contained 'Return To Elysium'. How come I have missed that one, eh? Anyway, Mr Ripley's selection is awesome. It has made me feel very good on the inside. A very cheerful mix with Happy Hardcore tunes: what can go wrong? Well, nothing. It's also a free download, so that's an added bonus. The conclusion is that this mix is kind of epic, and should get you digging into your wallet to fetch your credit/debit card and order tickets for this event. And I know Mr Ripley's mix has the power to do so. So what are you waiting for? Oh, you are cooking Boxing Day food? You've got 3 minutes spare, you lazy sod! Get those tickets right NOW!

This is one of those rare albums, not for sale, only available via promotional channels. And someone on Discogs pointed out to me how I did get this one: back in 2002 after raving the night away in the Amsterdam Rai at Innercity everyone leaving the building was given this CD. So it's not that rare: I reckon around 40,000 people must have been there. But it stands out for many reasons. Firstly it was ID&T and a cigarette manufacturer who released this album. In the present day that would not be happening. People smoking is a definite no-no... and on this album you see exactly that happening. Like I would mind: an ex-smoker/current vaper. Anyway, it's different. But also the music: a progressive House album. Don't have many of them. But no matter how you look at this album: it's a genuine masterpiece! The music on it has stood the test of time. According to the contributor on Discogs it was mixed by Ricky Rivaro. And it's a serious rollercoaster. A nice (and not forced) transition between each and every track. You can put this on in the background and enjoy it. And maybe have a cigarette (unless you don't smoke, and in that case you should NEVER smoke). Let's slow down and let the pleasure go up. CD 1 : Slow Down 01. Negrocan - Cadavez (Grant Nelson Vocal Remix) 02. Jon Cutler - It's Yours (Original Mix) 03. Michelle Weeks - The Light (Main Vocal Mix) 04. Lounge Conjunction - Feel It 05. Cleptomaniacs - All I Do (Original Cleptomaniacs Mix) 06. Hardsoul - La Pasion De Gozar 07. Negrocan - Aquela Esquina (Grant Nelson Club Mix) 08. Praful - Inspiracao (Hardsoul's Treatment) 09. 2 Elements feat Janna - Brazilian Nights (Dub Mix) 10. Simon Grey - One (Knee Deep Instrumental) 11. Dajae - Everyday Of My Life (Junior Jack Vocal Remix) 12. Gaspard - Good Enough (Vocal Mix) CD 2 : Pleasure Up 01. Richard Earnshaw - People Are People (Dub Mix) 02. UBP feat Bobby Pruitt - We Are One (Jazz 'N' Groove Hands Up Dub) 03. Sessomato - Moody (Original Mix) 04. Adani & Wolf - Take Me Back (Boatcrew Remix) 05. Una Mas - I Will Follow (Full Intention Club Mix) 06. BBT - God's Child (Original Mix) 07. Bob Sinclar - Save Our Souls (BT's Edit) 08. G-Club presents Banda Sonora - Guitarra G (G Club Original Mix) 09. Junior Jack - Thrill Me (Original Mix) 10. Prax Paris - Under The Shower (Original Mix) 11. Silicone Soul - Right On (Instrumental) 12. Jaimy & Kenny D - Keep On Touchin' Me (Original Mix) This is the kind of music that literally everyone can love. This isn't music that can be hated. I certainly know no-one who hates this. And I've played this many times over the years. 16 years old, still sounding excitingly fresh. Even my parents enjoy it. And that says something. It was given to me for free after Innercity (well, spent at least a grand in there on drinks and merchandising, which I have lost over the years sadly), and I'm still grateful for ID&T and Camel for this compilation. It's really a cheerful, happy and enjoyable. And it's got so many great and yet underrated records on it. I'm watching Clubland TV every day hoping I get to hear these gems, but sadly it's all shit they play. This is music given to us by God himself. Let's break the favorite record bit into two, seeing as there are two CDs. On the first the Cleptomaniacs record is truly gifted (a Stevie Wonder classic), but it's 'Good Enough' that makes me smile. Such a lounge anthem! I can close my eyes and picture myself in Korfu, Greece, sipping a nice cocktail whilst looking out towards the ocean, eating peanuts at the same time. So relaxing. Second CD. Come on, that's a no-brainer: 'People Are People', the song this CD starts with. So effective and highly enjoyable. I'm not looking out towards the ocean anymore, I'm dancing in a lounge club, whilst the lasers penetrate my eye lids and the foam is up my neck. Oh gosh, I love this anthem so much! A wonderful and relaxing CD. Whoever decided to make this compilation is a genius. If you can find a copy online, order it now! This won't be a disappointment.

Every week at least once I'm thinking about Thunderdome. Last week it was all about Thunderdome, seeing as I got rid of my whole collection and burned them onto my PC and hard drive. And before you go and ask for a copy, you can do one. I'm not sharing my music with anyone: paid enough guilders and euros and pounds for my collection. But I've accepted the digital age. So to go through every single Thunderdome album was a throwback to the golden years of my childhood/teenage years. It was magical. Thunderdome was forbidden in our household. Mum specifically told me off, never to have a single Thunderdome album. As sneeky as I was, I asked her to buy me Mysteryland 1994 CD, which had as first CD the live sets taken from the Thunderdome area. So she couldn't stop me. After purchasing that, the quest began. And let up to an unhealthy obsession with it. No other compilation came close. Thunderdome was my everything. It was live or die. And I'm not sorry for getting rid of them all: I've got them digitally, and also Soundcloud is filled with million hours of Hardcore fun. Like DJ CasketKrusher's 2012 mix! Which is a megamix, and I know you want to hear that. His mixes have been intriguing since the first time I heard and saw his name. And with this one he decided to get the early Thunderdome albums, take a few records off of them, and put them into a blender, and out came a megamix. Like the old Thunderdome megamixes, eh? The tracklist is a thing of beauty, if you like the early stuff. If you don't, I do apologies, but don't worry: you can still appreciate it. Let this educate you: this is what made Hardcore the way it is! 01. Megamix: Intro (In The Name Of God) 02. The Prophet - Life Experience 03. The Android - Steroid 04. Critical Mass - Psychotic Break (Lenny Dee & Strychnine Remix) 05. 3 Steps Ahead - Action 06. Discofrisco & DJ Inferno - My Favorite 07. DJ Waxweazle - Legs 08. Lockjaw - Ruff 'n' Ruggin' 09. Jeremy - The Flow (Original Mix) 10. Lenny Dee & Darrien Kelly - Schoom! 11. DJ Buzz Fuzz - Destroyer 12. Hocus Pocus - Here's Johnny! 13. Citrus - Fascination (Original Mix) 14. Search & Destroy - What Kind Of Madness? 15. Critical Mass - Lift Me Up 16. DJ E-Rick & Tactic - Bring The Noise! 17. The Prophet - Big Boys Don't Cry (4 Minute Mix) 18. Tiny Tot - La Bambolina (The Stunned Guys Remix) 19. DJ Weirdo & DJ Sim - The Kamikaze 20. DJ Dione - Fucked Up! 21. 25% Of The Dreamteam - The Dreamteam Is Back! 22. Scarface - Don't Fuck With The Chuck (Toys 'r' Us Remix) 23. The Scotchman - Happy Vibes 24. DJ Paul - Play My Game 25. Scott Brown - Come On (Wind It Up) 26. Too Fast For Mellow - We're Gonna Get This Place! 27. DJ Delirium - The Sound Of The Beast 28. Too Hostile - Make 'em Clap (DJ Paul Remix) 29. Trancehistory - Doo Dey (DJ Dione Remix) 30.

DJ Jordens vs Spiritual Child - Please Pay 48. DJ Arjuna - You're Ready To Start? 49. DJ Buzz Fuzz - The Introkiller (Work It!) 50. Megamix: Outro - Victory Serious stuff by Casketkrusher. Serious stuff. No fucking around. Just straight to the centre: the core of Hardcore. He's made other tremendously insane mixes (like a wicked Thunderdome megamix, not like this one), and every time he blows me the fuck away. Serious mix. Impressed again. Don't get me wrong: I do love his Happy Hardcore stuff, but these megamixes are also the creme de la creme. Especially when they take me back to the days of me having short hair, a training suit (from the Bristol, not a Nike supplier or Australian), and driving my parents insane by playing this out loud. Teenager from hell, that's what I must have been. During the 90s I never really understood the early stuff, maybe it was because of my age. But now I appreciate it all, pre 1995 or not. For me it all sounds good. There's no disappointing moment in Thundedome's long history. Yes, not all records have been a success and not all their compilations were as brilliant, but still they made me who I am. A full on Gabber. There are a few tiny mixing errors. But nothing too drastic. Another epic mix. I can't pick my favorite. Maybe DJ Jeremy's record. What's yours? You can not download this, but still appreciate it. Thank you Casketkrusher and Soundcloud, for making my evening!

The end of the year has emerged, and we are getting closer to 2019. And of course the obvious thing happens: every producer will upload a 'best of' mix onto Soundcloud/Mixcloud. The first one I spotted was by Factor B. So let's kick of the festive season/end of the year celebrations with a very nice Trance mix, containing all productions from this legendary producer, Factor B. This mix has got his releases from 2018 crammed into an hour long mix. And if you were hoping to hear some Trance tunes coming towards you through your speakers, no need to worry: you will get what you have wished for! It's an early Christmas present, one that will take you dancing towards 2019. Music wise it has been a good year, and especially for Factor B. If you listen to his year mix, you will find that each and every track is a jewel, and he has shown the world his strength as a producer. It's not a megamix. Only a handful of tracks being played as long as they can be played. So it's time now for you to see what kind of records have been made by Factor B in 2018. 01. The Thrillseekers feat Fisher - The Last Time (Factor B's Theatre Of The Mind Intro Mix) 02. Factor B - Only We Know 03. Agnelli & Nelson - Everyday (Factor B's Back To The Future Remix) 04. Factor B feat Cat Martin - White Rooms 05. Factor B & Lostly - Strandloper 06. Factor B - Into The Light 07. John O'Callaghan feat Deidre McLachlan - Stay With Me (Factor B Remix) 08. Factor B - Leave It All Behind 09. Marc Dawn - Random Walk (Factor B's Back To The Future Remix) 10. Chakra - Home (Factor B's Back To The Future Remix) 11. Nu NRG - Dreamland (Factor B's Back To The Future Remix) 12. Solarstone & Scott Bond vs Factor B & Chicane - Autumn Highway (Thrillseekers Mash Up) Well, that's a tracklist and a half! A nice and diverse tracklist with literally everything you wanted: from own productions to collaborations to remixes made by Factor B. Christmas has come indeed early this year. I have really enjoyed this mix. I have listened to this over and over again, and every time it has hit me again. Every time I hear a new jewel, a new wicked record. I've got no complaints or no judgmental things to mention. A proper mix, that's what this is. Just a simple task: press play. Let Factor B take you into the new year. Do it. Do it now!

Pearsall, the man behind Sonic Rampage (the blog website) has uploaded a brand new concept mix on Soundcloud about a month ago. A mix focused on the rugged side of House. Now I'm not familiar with rugged House, but it's full of attitude and Grime. Now, seeing as that is an unusual combination, I got intrigued. Saved it as a favorite, but never got the chance to listen to it. But today I woke up nice and early, and I thought I should give it a go. And here it is. So Pearsall has made some really interesting mixes in the past, and I am a huge fan of his Soundcloud page. It's always a nice trip back into time, but with his latest mix he has taken us back, yet with a twist. These are all new, or 'new'-ish records. And they are on vinyl! How's that for a change? And the media all told us vinyl was dead? It's still alive and kicking. Not hanging on a thread. Underneath the mix it states that we should look at this mix in a different way. Think 'Cockney geezer cornering you by the toilets to yell in your ear'. Not had that experience before, but ok. If that's what this mix will do to you, I will certainly not go out in London anymore. 01. Fracture feat Lucie La Mode - Take You 02. Helix - House Beat 3 03. Andreas Gehm - KW Sagittarius 04. Jerome Hill - It's Time For The ..... 05. Head High - Burning (Keep Calm Mix) 06. Boddika & Joy Orbison - TMTT 07. Luca Lozano - Super Rhythm Track 08. Snuff Crew - Naughty 09. Your Planet Is Next - Down 10. Luca Lozano - Come With Me 11. Hardcore Edits - Hardcore Edits 1 (Side A1) 12. Nightmares On Wax - Aftermath (Special Request Remix) 13. Mall Grab - I've Always Liked Grime 14. Pinch feat Riko - Screamer 15. 20 Hurts - Proof Positive I'm a fan of both styles, Grime and House, and yet only 1 name does ring a bell. But all the others are exclusives to me. That makes this mix more special, doesn't it? I should not focus on the artists but on what they produced, and how well Pearsall has mixed it together. But let me just give you a piece of advise: Pearsall never fucks up. He always delivers. This 50 minute long mix is just what you want. The festive season is coming to an end, but already my head is filled with stupid Christmas songs, and this has taken my mind somewhere else. It feels like I am in another dimension. This nice and calm mix has literally made my day. It might be a tad rougher, but still highly enjoyable. Not sure of the trackname, but the song that's played around 35 minutes is my favorite. If Pearsall was talking about filth, this is definitely what he was talking about! Fuck me, that's nasty. I have soiled my pants now. That's the moist maker. If it doesn't get you moist, you should simply turn up the volume, and let the song kick you in the nuts. Another astonishing mix by Pearsall. Nothing to add. Just follow him on Soundcloud and you will NEVER be disappointed.

Christmas has come early this year! Today I checked my front door, and there was a package. A very unusual package, which stated me as Mrs. And also Greazy. I already had a feeling that it was something unusual, seeing as I did not order a single thing (already done all my Christmas shopping; the local service station in Southgate has made a lot of money of me, and I hope the missus likes windscreen wipers as a present). When I opened it, something greeted me. A pocket size dildo. Now you can say whatever you like, but this really made my day! Not only did it contain a dildo, but also stickers, an album, a fan, and a nicely written Christmas card. Showcasing a naked Santa. This has literally put a smile on my face, and the missus laughed also! It's weird that something so small can make you happy. We've had a dreadful year, and this has really been one of its highlights. But seeing as I am a blogger it would be weird talking about everything else, and not the bloody exclusive album. The album. Well, it's seXXXy, that's what it is. It did come signed and with a dent, but I reckon it was a cock that caused the dent. A rather small one though. It's looks very shiny and glittery, And it contains a fuckload of exclusive records. 11 to be precise. So you have to fully understand the fact that this album, once its sold out, will never appear anywhere again. And seeing as it's the deluxe version, trust me: it will be sold out. Or maybe it already has. Fuck knows. Anyway, what to expect? Well, it's difficult. It's something so unusual. Online you've got many people loving its quirkiness, and on the other hand many haters who do not understand the meaning behind this, and how this can be seen as music (e.g. my mum and dad). It's highly enjoyable. But unusual. You won't find anything similar to this in the scene. No act is like GPF, and never will be. Let me show you what your Euros will buy you. Basically what you will get. It's only €16.69, so you can spend that kind of money: pay day is soon, bitches! 01. Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz - Lovin' Ain't Greazy 02. Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz - Puppet Fuckerz 03. Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz - Greazy Fuckdrum 04. Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz with Caine - Kendal Fuck 2.69 05. Sjammienators & Ysiss - Boogie Woogie (GPF Remix) 06.

Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz - Spaghetti Love (300BPM Bazz Boozted Remix) 22. Rooler - Domination (GPF RIP MATTY Remix) These tracks are absolutely not new to me: been listening to the majority of GPF for a while now. And in their latest GPF Sextape they've shown us all the tracks already, and it has made my day. And you want to know a funny thing? I only found out about them via Soundcloud: I wasn't looking for them, but I saw their mix for an event they played at. I gave it a go, didn't know what happened, and BOOM! I'm a fan. I loved everything they have done. I'm always the person who listened to the weirdest music. At school/college/uni I was the one who stood out from the rest. Pop music? Fuck that. Emo rock? Too soft for me. Techno? YEAH. Hardcore? YEAH. And now Puzzycore can be added. It's this uncontrollable desire to hear more. The beats, bassdrums and kicks, I just can't stop myself. Nearly had an accident last week on the M25 when I was listening to their sextape. It's the power of the music that controls me. And now I can officially announce that I'm their biggest fan. And deep down inside I know they are a fan of TCD too. Who isn't? Back to the album. I've heard and seen them all before. I've watched their Defqon.1 set over and over again. And every time I hear their mix I find another record I really appreciate. This time it's their version of the 'Marrel-Kessel Tunnel Rave'. I hope my body will manage their music when I go to the Netherlands to see them perform at this exclusive event. You should join too. Hope my kidney will be in working order, and not bouncing around up and down. But if it does, who gives a shiny shite? YOLO, as the kids would say. You Only Live Once. Or maybe we should come up with a new GPF abbreviation? Anyway, another wicked album. If you dig it, you'll love it. If you are a hater, you hate Matty, and Harambe the gorilla. And for doing that, you will go to hell. Don't hate, appreciate! Or just have no opinion whatsoever. Makes my timeline much more pleasant!

It's the end of the 90s. Many Gabber/Hardcore compilations are thrown onto the market. And boy, so many are absolute shite. One of the labels who emerged out of nowhere and is part of the destroying of Gabber was Mecado. This label has done nothing good for the scene, and was only in it to cash in on the hype. They weren't the only one to be fair, but were part of it. The reason why I'm talking about them, is because of the fact that the other day I went through my whole collection, burned/ripped them onto my PC, and I found a few albums released on this label. One of them being 'Hardcore Generation'. Released in 1997, during the big years of Happy Hardcore. Obviously thinking they would be able to give the gabbers what they wanted. Well, yes and no. For me it's only nostalgic, this album. But is it a great album? I have to say, even 21 years later the girl on the cover looks stunning. Don't know why they shot these images in a toilet. Maybe because of the mainstream's perspective of all the ravers doing drugs constantly at toilets? I don't know. But she looks good. Maybe that's why I bought this CD, I was still 14, remember.. Anyway, the tracklist. Be prepared to be amazed (*ahum*). You will understand my sarcasm quickly. 01. De Mosselman - Mossels (Radio Edit) 02. J.D.A. - Voel Je Die Bass 03. Reef Teeffie - Klappus In Je Handjes 04. Dark Raver & DJ Vince - Thunderground 05. The Lawyer - Yo DJ (Buzz Fuzz Remix) 06. Shadowlands Terrorists - Shadowlands Anthem 07. Highlander - Get The Future Started 08. Scott Brown - Hardcore Power 09. The Stunned Guys - Beats Time 10. The Alternative Creators - Sound Creation (DJ Isaac Remix) 11. Dionysos - Daydream 12. Thundergods From Asgard - To My X 13. B-Rave feat T-Bear - Happy Rave 14. Brotherhood - Crazy (Bass-D & King Matthew Remix) 15. Rotterdam Terror Corps - Mega Rave 16. Juggernaut - Ruffneck Rules Tha Art-Core Scene Do you see it? How messed up this was? It's all mashed together. No real reason to add Happy Hardcore inbetween Hardcore records. And those records 'Mossels' and 'Klappus In Je Handjes', and 'Daydream'. God, they are bad, really bad. A shock to the scene. One of the reasons why it has not been taken seriously. What a disgrace. I really dislike these records with a passion. They destroyed everything I held dear when I was a teenager. OK, there are a lot of awesome records on it to, I'm not denying that. Like' Mega Rave', 'Yo DJ', To My X', 'Thunderground', but the first couple of records destroy it (not 'Voel Je Die Bass'). But is this album memorable one, one you need to keep? Quick answer: no. Absolutely not. A forgettable album. You can find these songs on other compilations. Much more focused on good Hardcore, and not the commercial side of it. Proper Hardcore albums. This is yet another showcase of an absolute fuck up. A massive one. I only give it a 'good' score because of the good records, and the good looking bird. But the meaning behind this compilation (and others released by Mecado) is sickening. Hence the score.

Time for Freeform. It's Wednesday, or in our scene it's called 'Freeform-day'. But so is Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and let's not forget Sunday. 7 days a week it's Freeform for those who have embraced it. Sadly there aren't many, but those who do love it, show their love and dedication for it. And many show appreciation for the biggest label in the game: Stamina Records. During the beginning it was Nu Energy who ruled, but they faded away, and Stamina Records came, saw, and conquered literally everything. They are the biggest label in the world. And one of those labels that, if you come across it, you show your respect to. I don't know how to describe it, but Stamina is the label I refer people to, if they want to know what Freeform is. Yes, there are other labels out there, but truth be told: Stamina Records is the biggest, baddest, and boldest. (not saying that A.B is bold). But they deliver ALL the time. Never seen a disappointing release. They always release the finest of the finest. M@rt!n-J, TCD's regular, made this two years ago, and I seriously don't know why this has been shown on my timeline. But for whatever reason it has shown on it, it made me listen to it. And also show appreciation for him: his Soundcloud page is always filled with brand new mixes, and you name it, he has made a mix for it! Respect to him! Let me show you the tracklist.

S3rl & SynthWulf - Everybody Wants To Be A DJ (S3rls Stylecore Remix) There we go. A proper Freeform tracklist. Can't even believe that this album is a few years old! Only had in my hands the other day, and it still looks and sounds amazing! Freeform does age extremely well. Not humans, we do not age well, but Freeform remains awesome. Obviously excluding the early TranceCore sound, that sounds extremely outdated. But not the present day Freeform. Anyway, M@rt!n-J has done it again. A really good mix with a lot of epic records. I don't know which record I selected before from this album, but I have to say that 'Codex' is now my favorite. It might change in 2 years time, but for now it's the dancefloor smasher, so underrated. But so is all of Freeform. He has improved, the DJ. There are a few mixing errors, but if you compare this mix to his latest stuff, he has learned and well improved. So let's give him some credit for not remaining the same lol. This mix has made my day, it really has. I've really enjoyed it. And it took me back to the moment I received the album in the post. I think I must have played it at least 26 times before I got slightly bored of it. Fuck it, I will press play again. Live life on the edge, eh?

It's nearly Christmas, and wherever you go, Christmas tunes are hitting you. I like Christmas, no word of a lie, but Wham!, Mariah Carey, and all the other tunes are really doing my nut in. You want (like me) to hear something different. Just some breathing space from all the festive tunes. We have deserved a break, be it for an hour. An hour is long enough; just enough for you to get your feet back onto the floor. Melvje. Who doesn't know him? Well, he's made a new mix, called 'Raw Is War', and it has reached the twelfth edition. Don't know if I reviewed any of these mixes before on my old website: I have reviewed mixes by him before, but this mix series,doesn't ring a bell. But the premise is the same: Hardstyle/Rawstyle tunes being mixed together nicely. And people seem to like it a lot: he's got plenty of followers on Soundcloud, and a lot of plays in a short notice. So why not join the madness, and say 'fuck you Christmas'? If there are trolls looking, don't worry: it's only for an hour. After that we can go back to the jolly and festive tunes by Justin Bieber, Michael Buble, and more. But give us some space, eh? Give us some Rawstyle. Well, it's time to show you the tracklist. And it's madness. 01. Hard Driver feat Zsen - Get It Started 02. Phuture Noize & B-Front - The Solution 03. Frequencerz - Alright 04. Gunz For Hire - Sicknezz 05. Deviouz - Corruption 06.

Chaotic Hostility & Imperatorz - Samurai 41. Warface & N-Vitral present BOMBSQUAD - Troublemaker Is it just me or is Melvje a huge fan of Warface? This looks like an appreciation mix to me. Is that a bad thing? Absolutely not! We all love a bit of Warface. It's filth, and that's what we like! Anyway, however you look at this, it's a brilliant mix. Yet again has Melvje done it, a superb Rawstyle mix, containing a lot of filthy anthems. It's like it growing more and more on me every single day. It's not as 'simple' as some might call it. Rawstyle is here to stay. It's a bit like when Gabber emerged: it was rough and not many understood it. But it has grown into something magical, something beautiful. And at that exact stage is Rawstyle right now. Even though Melvje knows a thing or two about Rawstyle, doesn't mean he's always 100% right. In this mix there are 2 records I really dislike. The Eminem song, and the actual first song of the mix. Not really original, are they? Just originals with a kick underneath it. So Melvje has done alright to be fair. He's 96.4% right. All jokes aside: besides these two records the mix is really tight, and has made my car journeys much more pleasant. Especially when a nasty beat would kick in and I wasn't expecting it. That freaked me the fuck out. In a good way, don't get wrong. But it was so pleasant to hear. Honest to God. And I do not talk about God that often in reviews. A score which you would expect. If you love Warface/Rawstyle you don't need to look any further: here's a mix you would really appreciate! It's filth. And oh so sex!

You might be thinking "why is the Dutchman reviewing a girl band CD?". You might be thinking I'm completely insane, and lost all my bearings. Well, you are correct: I did loose them many years ago, but this album is special to me. For one specific reason. But lets not forget we were all once fan of the biggest girl band in the world. So why not like another one. With all fine looking women? Close II You was an all Dutch girl band. You might have heard of them or not. They had a few successes in the Netherlands during their heydays, and their biggest hit was 'Baby Don't Go'. As you would expect it to be, it was a romantic song. And to me it was also shrouded in mystery. I'll explain it later. But because of this song I became a fan. I think I saw them live at Mega Music Dance Experience back in the 90s, or some similar event. But I have seen them. Their album contained all the girl band records you would expect. A lot of the records focused on love and passion. And truth be told: the songs were extremely catchy. Sadly underrated, and no radio station has played them ever since. Which is a pity. But it's a personal preference: everyone goes for the safe choice (Spice Girls). To me Close II You were my favourite. Here's the tracklist. But it won't do anything for you if you have never heard of them. 01. Close II You - Nice & Nasty 02. Close II You - Baby Don't Go 03. Close II You - Set Me Free 04. Close II You - Somebody 05. Close II You - Face To Face 06. Close II You - I Want Your Love 07. Close II You - Grab It 08. Close II You - Tonight 09. Close II You - Hold Me Now 10. Close II You - Loverboy 11. Close II You - Friends 12. Close II You - Voyage Of Love See? All safe records. All about love, and female empowerment. Something you would expect from a girl band in the 90s. And they had it all: the looks and great songs. I did listen to this album recently and I was singing them along. Does that make me a tad weird, being a 35 years old bloke from Limburg in London? Anyway, the reason why 'Baby Don't Go' is special to me is because of middelbare school (you Google it for once). I used to go to the Bernardinus college in Heerlen, and every year they organised a party where the kids would come together and party. A school disco, if you would like to call it. I attended one (where they only served non-alcoholic drinks, seeing as we were under the legal age of 18), and was bopping my head to Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit', and I felt someone tapping me on the shoulder. It was a girl, asking me if I wanted to dance with her. Amazed by someone asking ME, I said yes (this was the first slow dance ever). We walked onto the dancefloor and this song was played. I was holding her waste, and we turned constantly (and I was smiling for miles, and looking at my friends as I could not believe that this was happening!). I had never seen the girl before, and we did not share anything at all (we did not speak, just danced). The song finished, and I said to her that I was going to my mates quickly and I would return. Went to my friends, and they all smiled too. I turned around, and she was gone. I went to the group she was with, and they didn't even know who she was, or which class she attended. I went looking for her everywhere, and seeing as there was only one entrance/exit, I walked to the security guy, and asked him if he had seen a blonde girl with a blue dress coming out. He said no, seeing as no-one had left at all! So I checked the toilets, and she wasn't in there either. It was like she disappeared into thin air. Never seen her that night, or ever since. This to me was mysterious, and I cannot explain what happened. Who was this girl? It was all real, everyone else saw her. Now you understand why this song holds the most memories. I still have this CD, and also the single. This is truly an emotional song, and goes deep for me. I can picture myself on the dancefloor again. Sadly can't picture her face, but she was wearing a blue dress, and was blonde. That's all I know. A message to this girl: thank you. Don't know who you are (really don't want to), but you made my day. And even to this day I'm glad it happened. Sometimes mysterious things (things you can't explain) makes your life much more interesting. And she turned me from a boy into... well, still a boy. But one who danced with a girl before. Getting back to reality: I really loved Close II You. Don't know what happened after this album. Really not focused on that. But with this album they did deliver a wicked album, defining the 90s properly. They had the girl band thing. They were the ultimate girl band to me. My guilty pleasure. And even though I like my music to be hard and rough (Hardcore, Terror, etc) I still fall back to this album whenever I feel the urge. You can not point out any flaws with these songs. They are beautiful. Emotional. And extremely catchy. If I were you, I would listen to these records. Yes, they might sound cheesy compared to the present day girl bands, but you will hear why they are my favorite girl band. Nothing but admiration for these girls. They played a huge part during my teenage years. Many kids did drugs and alcohol, I listened to Close II You. Well, that's just me. I can't give this album anything less than a five. Why? Well, read the story above. That's why. Ps. I've attached the video of 'Baby Don't Go'. You can find the whole album online on Youtube anyway..... go and listen!

The legendary mixtape series from GPF is back! They have returned with a brand spanking new mix series, and the cover image is as sexy as ever. But it's all about the music, and a little bit about sex. But whatever you are doing, never forget the Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz. I started introducting them into my family, and they think I'm completely insane. The only one who kind of appreciates them, is my missus. Doesn't really make sense. You know what else doesn't make sense? GPF. You can explain it to me as much as you like, but still I'm baffled. Is it Hardcore? Is it Terror? Is it Hardstyle? I remember hearing them for the first time, and it made me laugh. Didn't understand it, but it was extremely catchy. What was catchy became addictive (like sex, or chocolate). I've grown into their top fan (yes, I am), and whatever they post is amazing. Their approach to the harder styles is just so unique, and refreshing. It borders to complete insanity, but aren't we all a tad insane? Don't we need something that will never make sense? Their main focus is sex. Sex is great. Unless you are anti-sex. Or asexual. But if you think sex is great, and you like the harder sounds, look no further. Their latest mixtape will make you moist again. And if you look at the amount of plays within only a handful days, it's ridiculous. It's only been online for 25 days and it nearly reaches 50k plays! That's impressive for a weird ass mix. It gives me a boner. Anyway, a tracklist. I found it on LSDB. Can't be arsed to go on the hunt myself. Hence why it took me 24 days to write this review. And also the fact that I kept on wanking the second I heard the intro voice. 'that's puzzy's greazy'. Don't know who does their vocals, but he must come out of the adult industry. 01. Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz - Lovin' Ain't Greazy 02. Caine & Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz - Kendal Fuck 6.69 03. Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz - Greazy Fuckdrum (N-Vitral Fuckup) 04. Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz & MC Jeff - Cummin On UR Face 05. N-Vitral presents BOMBSQUAD feat Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz - Greazy Counter 06. Killshot - Beastmode (Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz Remix) 07.

Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz - Fuck Me Harder Daddy 11. Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz & Caine - Fuck Buddy 12. Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz & Mind Compressor - Spaghetti Love 13. Rooler - Domination (GPF's 310BPM RIPMATTY Remix) Before we go on and on about the moist levels in my pants, let's talk about something serious here. Matty is gone. A valuable member of GPF, he decided to leave. He's missed ever since, as you can see. Two records are dedicated to Matty. It's a shame really. Maybe the fans can start an online campaign, for him to return? Anyway, let's talk sex again. This mix has got a lot of their previous released stuff in it, and a few new records. Including a fucking hilarious record 'Brocolli Love'. How in God's name can you mispronounce brocolli? Anyway, this mix has got indeed funny records, and updated versions of their already classic records. Might I suggest to you all their latest album? A special edition of their 'Lovin' Ain't Greazy', in GOLD. Including a dildo keychain. Now that's something unusual. You can fuck yourself when you are getting fucked by GPF once you press play. You might want to lube up. Don't want your arse to look like an exploded hedgehog. Anyway. I'm talking too much. Let's talk music. The best record? Oh, that's difficult. I like them all. But 'Spaghetti Love' still remains a favorite of mine. The only thing I wondered is why they put 'Greazy Counter' in the middle, and not at the end? That would be a proper ending. But I can't hakkuh at 9000 BPM halfway through, and continue after. That's too much, man. Yet another amazing mix. Can't explain how cool this is. It's unusual, quirky, and fucking adorable. It's like a pitbull puppy. They are cute, and when they bite, your arm comes off. That's GPF for you. You think they are kind, but they make you bleed. Tremendously. Get their latest fucking album. GET IT. You wanker.

The Dutch, aren't they a lovely bunch? In the wonderful world we call music we created a lot of amazing things. Gabber is one of those things (could be Germany, but it's always a debate between us and the Germans), raves were made humongous by us, etc. And seeing as I'm currently going through my whole collection, we made some memorable CDs too! One of them is called 'Mega Music Dance Experience - The Glamorous Edition - The 1995 Yearmix'. That's a mouthful, but the actual album is worth a mouthful. Don't ask me the history of Mega Music Dance Experience. I'm not bloody Wikipedia. But I remember as a teenager listening to these albums throughout the 90s, and also visiting one of their events with a good friend of mine, Tom. We already felt so much older compared to all the kids there, but we saw a few live acts. I think it was in Utrecht, I am not sure. It wasn't great, to be fair, but we went. For me the legacy of MMDE are the albums. In my possession there are a few of those. Don't know why they stopped doing them: they could have become a global phenomena. This 1995 yearmix was exactly what I needed to hear this week. It contains the finest records from that year, including a bonus record by the mighty 2Unlimited. It was the year of extremely cheesy music, yes. But also memorable and timeless dancefloor smashers. This mix has also got those records so underrated, it's sad to NOT hear them on the radio anymore. Let me show you the tracklist: you'll be amazed of the records. Again, if you are Dutch, you might know this, Mega Music Dance Experience. It's definitely a 90s thing. And seeing as this is the month of reminiscence, why not got back in time, eh? CD 1: 01. D.W.P. - Veronica Introduces The 95 Experience 1 02. The Nightcrawlers - Surrender Your Love 03.

Technohead - I Wanna Be Hippy You might dislike the tracklist, and you might think this old grandad music. If that's your perspective, you are too young. But for those born in the 70s/80s, this was the music that got us going. And made us happy. And made us dance in our bedrooms. And if I'm honest, I can sing out these anthems at a karaoke event. They just stick more in your mind: the present day top 40 records do not have the power. Nor are they good (Baby Shark anyone?). I love albums with an intro, and they were good. Both CDs continue with the party vibe, and the cheese factor remains high. But it's our guilty pleasure. We've seen it lately, with Hardstyle remixes of Scatman John's records! Even though it's cheesy as hell, we still love it. This era was dominated by music in progress. We didn't know what was happening, but looking back at it, this music paved the way for future styles to emerge. The second CD ends with a few Happy Hardcore records. This kind of build up reminds me of the House Party collection. They started doing that, and after a few albums they decided to give us a full on Hardcore album, which got me into Gabber/Hardcore. This CD has a lot of memories. On disc one the best record has to be 'Surrender Your Love'. The Nightcrawlers, what happened to them? And on the second disc it has to be 'Tell Me The Way' by Cappella. Also: what happened to them? A few shit records, like the exclusive 2Unlimited record, and DJ Bobo's record. But still a memorable album. One I will be playing over the years over and over again. Guilty pleasure, yes! Ps, I found a video of the actual event. It's shocking. But you will find out why!

The best thing about working from home is the fact you can listen to whatever you want, as loud as you want. Guess what I have been doing today? A lot of filthy music has been pushed through my eardrums, and gosh darnit, I loved every second of it! And today I have found a new mix series on Soundcloud, and I reckon you are going to love it too! Unless you are Eminem and you hate Techno. In that case you can sod off. The mix series I'm taking about is the Grid Based Beats podcasts, and this is the thirty-third edition of it, mixed by Tim Vitek. I've had a quick look on their channel, and the last few podcasts were also mixed by Tim. Don't have a clue who he is, but what I do know is that he has mixed together beautiful records, and the end result is a beast of a mix. I think I've said it in the past: you can't go wrong with Techno. It's just so wicked, timeless music. Techno doesn't change, people change. This mix shows us yet again why we all, and I do mean all, should embrace Techno, and listen to a Techno mix at least once a day. 01. Collabs 3000 - Acid Trezcore 02. Tim Vitek - Hollow 03. Theodore Elektrk - Galactica Actual 04. Submerge & Hiroko Yamamura - 2.XCTR.7130 05. Kareem Smith - Junk Mail 06. Restructured - Revival 07. Ethan Fawkes - Mirage (Mark Neenan Remix) 08. Sumerian - Low Life 09. Doug Cooney - Complete Circuit 10. Mark Therblig - Spectre 11. Tim Vitek - Disaster 12. SG3 - Rhythmic Vibe 13. Mike Gervais - Assailant 14. Tunnel - This Path (Steve Stoll Remix) Truth be told, I only recognise one name. All the others are really unknown to me. But that's just the power behind this music: we should not really give a shiny shite about the names, it's all about the music. And that's really it. I'd rather know none of the artists. This means the music is more underground. Or it could also mean that I've been in my mancave for too damn long, and I need some fresh air. Tim Vitek's podcast is really good. And I'm not saying it because I need to, it's genuinely the truth. A nice relaxing mix, with some serious Techno slammers. Got no negative feedback to give. If you love Techno, check this out!

I have seen the name DJ Jedi before. Not in a Star Wars film (unless they have created a new character in the last Jedi), but I've read so many positive reviews about him. Sadly never had the opportunity to hear anything mixed by him, but when Glowkid reposted this on Soundcloud, my missing out days changed. I finally got the opportunity to hear what this DJ has to offer. And it's great. This is a liveset recorded in Brighton on the 9th of November, and the three main acts, boy, if you have got any of these on your line-up, you know they will cause damage. Seduction? SS? 2 Bad Mice? And all this and more for only a fiver? If my organs were not playing up, I would have taken a train to Brighton just to experience this! DJ Jedi's set contains oldskool Hardcore classics from 1992 and 1993. Alongside him behind the decks you have got MC Strict. So it's all about the oldskool today! Let me show you the tracklist. 01. Joint Project - Good Feeling 02. Global Method - Mars Needs Women (DJ Seduction Remix) 03. Unknown Artist - Hypertension (Danse City) 04. Decktition - Bring The Noise 05. Jack Smooth & Spencer T - Happy Nonsense 06. Turbo Sound - Volume 1 (A1) 07. Yolk - Bish Bosh 08. Unknown Artist - MP 001 (B1) 09. E'Dam - Skratch The Beat 10. Krome & Time - Manic Stampede 11. Orca - Alive & Kickin 12. DJ Jedi - Brainwashed 13. DJ B & EZM - Break Of Dawn 14. Miranda - Dance To The Rhythm 15. Addiction - Make My Body Move 16. DJ Dynamic & DJ Phuturist - Future 9T3 17. Tango & Fallout - Recoil 18. Johnny Jungle - Twilight (Bad Influence Mix) 19. Jimmy J & Cru-L-T - Six Days (Try Unity Cover Version) If you are one of those people who have looked and thought 'let's play this out loud', let me warn you: the mic level of the MC is extremely high. And if you are prepared, you will get the same shock as yours truly: his vocals came crashing through my speakers! Could be the recording level, or the actual mic level. But be warned. I now understand the hype. I fully understand the fans. DJ Jedi has delivered an awesome Underground Oldskool Hardcore set. My first introduction into his wonderful world, and it's been a a good one. Really enjoyed this vinyl only set. And I really enjoyed each and every tune selected by DJ Jedi. I can't find anything negative about this set. Yeah, the mic level of the MC is absolutely dreadful, but still manageable. It becomes an issue if you've got the volume way up. But if you don't, the MC doesn't ruin the set as much as expected. Check this out, let this dominate your weekend!

When you are a nineteen year old boy back in 2002 and you are a full on raver, you want to hear the finest, roughest and toughest Hardcore music. There were many compilation I have purchased over the years, but none stand out to the album I'm about to write about. Enzyme Records did so much damage to teenage eardrums during the heydays of Hardcore, and include yours truly. My eardrums are shot to pieces. A darker sound emerged, without it sounding too much Terror or Speedcore related. Darker and edgier, more Industrial. And they were the one of the few pushing it forward, and to this day a cult following has risen, obeying everything Enzyme Records related. Especially the music around 2002, boy, that was good. I don't know if they ever did a second installment. I always thought this was the only one, and truth be told, I'm not in a mood at the moment, to shift through their extensive back catalog on Discogs. I just trust my own judgment, which is normally the right way. This album, called Enzyme Injection 1, had two discs: the first was mixed by Endymion, and the second contained DJ friendly records, obviously non mixed. But you have to fully understand and appreciate the power behind each and every track they put on this album. You will appreciate it once you hear the music coming through your speakers. As a young lad this album got played over and over again, and today I felt the urge to hear those wonderful anthems again. I can literally dream the whole album. I know each and every track, and love them all! It's hard to express what Enzyme Records has meant to me, but let me put it to you this way: what they did was magical. Whenever I press the play-button I always feel enriched with power. The ultimate Hardcore power everyone is craving. Masters Of Hardcore had it too, but in a lesser mode.

Enzyme X 05 - Traces Of Insanity And what I didn't know (maybe I did know, but forgot, seeing as CD 2 is unplayable due to the amount of scratches), you do get a short mix on the second CD, containing all the records from the unmixed bit. But whatever it was, it must have been good: the scratches have taken over and NO CD player will ever play it. Thankfully we've got Youtube and hours of Enzyme X music on it. The first CD is digitally mixed by Endymion (it's weird that you had to mention it back then, nowadays it's the norm). But what they delivered was such a filthy CD with excellent records. Some have made their way onto several other compilations such as MoH, but to find them all on one CD and mixed to perfection is just amazing. CD number 2 contains (as I said before) DJ friendly records. Not mentioning the mix, because I can't seem to find it anywhere. Enzyme X is to many known: it's not just one artist, it's a name for multiple artists doing their thing. Meaning it could be Ophidian, Knightvision, Endymion, Project Omeaga, or whoever. A safe name for everything Darkcore/Industrial Hardcore related. Not bound to one name or style. So you got everything you wished for. An ultimate Xmas present released in June of 2002. I like the dark and edgy stuff. Experimental. Ground breaking stuff. Still not heard of anymore. To pick a favorite is difficult, but I will choose two: one from each disc. The first has got to be 'Scrapmetal'. Ophidian is a magician with instruments, and he always delivers. And guess which tune of the second disc I have chosen? 'Parasomnia'. From one of my favourite films ever: Fight Club. Fight Club and Hardcore. That's the second rule. A truly amazing album which has stood the test of time. Many have faded into obscurity but this one stays on top. A favorite to many, owned by the few. If you've got a copy, tonight it the perfect night to show the world our dedication to Enzyme Records.

M@rt!n-J is back with a brand new mix. We've seen his name fly by before with other dedication mixes and also a special mix he made for TCD, but now he has done it: a Gammer dedication mix. And guess what? The amount of plays have shot up since I was number 89: it already has got 5.2k plays, and this happened only within three days! I simply can't believe it. Well, I can, I always knew he had the power, but it's a Gammer mix that gets him the attention he deserves. It also shows how much Gammer is really missed. Well, the sound that he made when he was fully focussed on the UK Hardcore sound. It's a personal opinion, and some might disagree, but when Gammer made UK Hardcore he was one of my favourite producers. He was unique, different, and most of all, quirky as hell. Just listen to the intro Gammer made. Name one producer who made these funny intros, or just funny yet amazeballs records. I think he has made it big, and congratulate him with his success. But fuck me, I do miss his UK Hardcore era. Everything he touched turned into gold. Literally everything (see what I did there?). M@rt!n-J's dedication mix contains the finest Gammer records, and he turned it into a nice megamix. Have a look at the tracklist, it will blow your mind into smithereens! 01. Gammer - Intro 02. Gammer - Into The Future 03. Gammer - Body Flow 04. Gammer - Rippin' 05. Gammer - Moving To This 06. Gammer & JB-C - Wonkey Donkey 07. Gammer & Francis Hill - It Will Be Alright 08. Gammer & JB-C - Bigger & Bolder 09. Gammer - I'm Coming Hardcore 10. Gammer - N+ 11. Cally Cage & Gammer - Breakneck Bastard 12. Gammer & Obie - Keep Em Dancing 13. Gammer - Rip Roar 14. Gammer & Whizzkid - This Could Be Real 15. Gammer - Bust 16. Gammer - Ready 2 Go 17. Gammer - Generic Bassline 18. Gammer - Now It's My Turn! 19. Gammer & MC Smiley - Deep Down 20. Gammer & JB-C - Turn Up The Bass 21. Gammer - Saturn 22. Gammer - Art Of Command 23. Gammer - Doop-Ba-Doop 24. Gammer - Cube Negative (VIP) 25. Gammer & MC Smiley - Unity 26.

Gammer & Whizzkid - We Killed The Rave 31. Gammer & Klubfiller - Future Fuzz 32. Gammer & Re-Con - Get It Right 33. Gammer & Whizzkid - Jump 34. Gammer & Re-Con - Manjari 35. Gammer & Whizzkid - You're My XTC 36. Gammer, Re-Con & Klubfiller - Bang Yer Head Off 37. Lego Pornstars - Gigatron 38. Gammer & Whizzkid - Scream 39. The A.M.D.A. - Fuck The Rails Now this is pure pornography. Sexy as hell. This is the Gammer sound that made me fall in love with him. He had this unique sound and style which I adored. And many others adored Gammer too. He has had tremendous success within the UK Hardcore scene on his own or alongside his partner in crime Dougal. In this mix the focus is on his own adventures, with a few collaborations with artists such as MC Smiley, Obie, Whizzkid and more. M@rt!n-J is a superstar DJ. His mix is really good. Entertaining to say the least. I like it how he keeps it all real as possible. He just does whatever floats his boat. Some mixes sadly don't get the recognition, but mixes like this one do. So many great anthems in here, which is my favourite? Well, I've always said that 'Rip Roar' was one of my favourites, but the one that I sang along to the most has to be Gammer's collaboration with Re-Con, resulting in 'Live On & On & On'. What a wicked track. Completely forgot about that one. Maybe I should purchase Gammer's album, if it's still available? Get this down ya, you definitely need this. And show your respect to one of the finest UK Hardcore producers of all time. And also show your love for the DJ who made this mix, and check out his other dedication mixes!

TCD and Riko, we go hand in hand. Over the yers I have reviewed 90% of his albums, like the first three 'Contagious' albums, Bezza and Heller's albums, 'Contagious To The Core' albums, and now his latest album 'Hazardous Soundz'. With his latest release you do get the same promise: unmixed and DJ friendly records by DJ Riko and friends. For only £15 this album is yours (depending on your location though: £20 if you live anywhere outside of the UK).. There are two ways of getting this album: physical copy and digital. I got my copy digitally. It all depends on your preference. I used to love physical copies, but there's no point: my car doesn't have a CD player anymore. So no point. And digital downloads are quicker. You don't need to wait for Postman Pat to deliver the album. So what is it you get? Riko working alongside fellow UK Hardcore/Powerstomp artists such as Brady, It-Man, MC Eruption and more. To be honest, the majority I have not heard of before. It's good that Riko gives a stage to upcoming artists. And it's good he keeps the Powerstomp sound alive. Not many are doing that. Let's see what your money can give you! 01. Riko & Brady - Put Your Hands Together 02. Riko & Cre@tor - Muthafukkin Drop 03. Riko & It-Man - On That 04. Riko & Mr E - Bitches 05. Riko vs Evo - Welcome To The Shadows 06. Riko & Laurence CC - I Need Your Lovin 07. Riko & Tidy - The Illusion 08. Riko & Laurence CC - Haha 09. Riko vs Lutronic - Feel Love 10. Riko & Brady - Take Your Soul 11. Riko vs Matt Milla - Hide & Seek 12. Riko, Chemtox & MrMr - Speakers Bout 2 Blow 13. Riko & Laurence CC - The Nun 14. Riko & Swifty - Blow This 15. Riko & MC Eruption - Fright Night 16. Riko vs Matt Milla - Its Not A Game Its War Before you get all hyped up and want to read the previous reviews,, I have to disappoint you. Due to errors and bugs the old website can not be visited anymore, so all the older ones can not be retrieved anymore. The only thing I can do, is put the link to Riko's website underneath the review, and you can get the previous albums. This album is again filled with UK Hardcore/Powerstomp records. And it's good. You can hear Riko 's progression over the years in each and every album he has released. Compare this album to his earlier work, and you will notice the difference. He has progressed. And I'm digging the direction he's going to. He's not the bedroom producer/DJ/label owner anymore. He has earned his place in the scene. I've got no complaints regarding this album. It's a grown up album. What I mean by that is that it's an album you definately want to have. Riko shows us all how he has grown, and what to expect: a full on madness album. Some records are (in my opinion) too short sadly. But that's the only critisism I've got. You can hear Riko's influences. A bit of 24/7 Hardcore, a bit of Lethal Theory, a bit of everything. And it's good! Another album he should be proud of. Get this album right now. Download this digitally, or wait for your physical copy. Whatever floats your boat.

A couple of weeks ago I got a notification on Facebook, asking if I would start following Arkangel. Not knowing who he/she was, I had a quick look online, and saw something interesting: a promo mix. Thanks to Joey Riot for sharing this, otherwise I would have missed it. But if Joey shares your page it must mean you are the real deal. Still a newbie in the scene with only one mix on Soundcloud, but potential to become much more. Let's see this promo mix by Arkangel. I don't know much about the DJ, so let's focus on the mix. I've been listening a lot to Rawstyle lately, so to hear a mix focussed on the euphoric side of Hardstyle made me a bit sceptic: it can be a hit or miss with Hardstyle. Or too cheesy or spot on. Arkangel's selection is interesting to say the least, not boring at all. But is it wicked, is it worth a listen? I'll let you be the judge of that. Here's the tracklist. 50 minute long mix, including a few of her own productions! So a promo mix not only demonstrating her DJ skills but also her producing skills. Interesting! 01. Arkangel - Intro 02. DJ Isaac - Heaven 03. Aztech & Galactixx - Time To Shine 04. LNY TNZ - We Go Up (Da Tweekaz Remix) 05. Nicky Romero - Lighthouse (Code Black & Toneshifterz Remix) 06. Sickdeliz feat Alina Renae - Loves Got Me Down 07. Adrenalize - Get Up 08. Manian - Hold Me Tonight (Toneshifterz, Suae & Pulsar Remix) 09. Gareth Emery - Concrete Angel (Coone & Code Black Remix) 10. Gigi D'agostino - L'Amour Toujours (TCM Hardstyle Bootleg) 11. Zatox - Hero 12. Code Black - Before You Go 13. Arkangel - Euphoria 14. Da Tweekaz - People Against Porn 15. Headhunterz - The B-Side 16. Arkangel - Hate U So Much This is really a diverse tracklist. A bit of everything. Arkangel likes her Hardstyle to be a tad euphoric. You can hear that in her own productions too. It has been an interesting mix. A good first mix. A few tiny cross fading errors, but nothing major. For me personally some tracks were too cheesy. I've lost interest in Da Tweekaz, and their music is kind of disgusting lol. 'People Against Porn'? Really? Also I've never been a huge fan of DJ Isaac's Hardstyle music, and his version of 'Heaven' is really horrible. Credits for Arkangel for having a short intro. But at least she's got an intro. That shit takes me back to the early 90s, when every mix had one. Best record. That's difficult. But I like 'Lighthouse'. Give this new DJ a go. Spread the word and spread the love.

Yes, yes yes. I do know I have been reviewing a lot of Pat B lately, but that's all because of him being awesome. After being hospitalised for 5 days I do wanted nothing else, I wanted Jumpstyle. I wanted to hear those classic anthems. And Pat B's Soundcloud is the right place to be. This enthusiastic producer/DJ has been demolishing all over the continent, and even here in London he's demolishing my speakers. I'd wish he would visit London: I'll be the first to purchase tickets. This liveset was recorded at this year's Reverze. Taken place at the Sportpaleis in Antwerpen, he and Ruthless they went back in time, playing the finest Jumpstyle/Hardstyle anthems from a forgotten era. Underneath this review I will add the actual Youtube video: I think it's a real blessing to see it. You will see thousands of people loosing themselves. And Pat B and Ruthless are destroying the speakers. But there will also be a link to Soundcloud, where you can get the free link from. The tracklist is not complete: got it from 1001Tracklists.com , and there are still some unknown bits and bobs. If you are a true Jumpstyle lover, make sure you fill in these names. 01.

Well at least it's something. And it's a testimony of how powerful these two are behind the decks. And how amazing it is to mix these records all together, and making it all sound so easy. I know they've got some experience, but it's still impressive that they jump from one record from one to the next. There are shitloads of amazing records in here! Pick one. It's too darn difficult. It's really good to hear several styles being used: from Happy Hardcore to Hardcore to Jumpstyle to Freestyle to Hardstyle and everything inbetween. Ruthless and Pat B keep the entertainment level way up high. You can see them having fun in the attached video. And the crowd are loving it too. There's no hate to be seen throughout the video. Yeah, there might be a few shite tunes, but the general gist is extremely good. We need events like Reverze in the UK. Or, to phrase it much more appropriately, we need more Jumpstyle. I do miss it. A good journey through our past. Leave that with Pat B and Ruthless. They know exactly how to please the listeners. Best record? Ixxel with 'Drop That Beat'. You can't beat this Jumpstyle classic!

Tomorrowland has got to be one of the biggest events in the world. If it isn't, it has got to be the most respected event in the world. Whatever it might be, it's truly an amazing event which puts Belgium on the map. Belgium has got more to offer thean just Manneke Pis, wafels and other random things. Not just this event, but also Cherry Moon Trax. This Belgian act has dominated since the early 90s and has given us memorable anthems, and guess what? They played only the finest classic anthems during their hour long set on the 27th of July 2018. This sound is so unique. Belgium is truly a remarkable country, and has meant a lot to EDM lovers. During the 90s and early 00s they have us so many wicked tunes, and you will see a lot of them in this tracklist. And it's a beauty. One thing I do need to mention before we all dive into this liveset (which is linked to a Youtube video), is that there's one annoying re-occuring thing throughout this set: the MC. Just to warn you. Tracklist. Be ready for awesome music! 01. Cherry Moon Trax - The House Of House 02. Yves Deruyter - Back To Earth (Rave Mix) 03. Marco V & Jens - Loops & Tings Relooped (Marco V Remix) 04.

Derb - Derb 11. Club Scene Investigators - Direct Dizko (Sander Van Doorn Remix) 12. Darude - Sandstorm w/ Chantal - The Realm (Acapella) 13. The Montini Experience - My House Is Your House 14. Dune - Can't Stop Raving (The Montini Experience Remix) 15. ID - ID 16. Tiesto - Lethal Industry 17. Zombie Nation - Kernkraft 400 Look at this beauty. Some I haven't heard in a long time. Sometimes they fly by, but you won't hear them on the radio anymore. Especially in the UK where the commercial radio stations do not underline the importance of European Dance music. There's more to life than just the Spice Girls, Elton John and Boyzone. Cherry Moon Trax are doing their best to entertain and educate these people. And judging by the video they are doing it well. The rain came down during their set, but that didn't bother them at all. It's so cool to hear a set like this one: takes me right back. My youth was dominated by these tunes. And we've got to realise that some are annoying as fuck, like 'Kernkraft 400', and 'Sandstorm', and that's just because you still hear them EVERYWHERE. But all the other records in this mix are tight. Especially 'Airport', 'The Rebel', 'The First Rebirth', but the one that does it for me has got to be 'The House Of House'. A true raver classic. As I said before, the MC is annoying as fuck. And it even looks like he wasn't even born when these two legends dominated the dance world. Maybe he needs to finish his MC school first: the first rule of an MC is not to talk when it's not appropriate. And he does it constantly. A huge let down. All in all a wicked set. When the MC doesn't speak it's perfect. And you see how much the act and the fans are loving it. Maybe next year I'll go. Unless the tickets sell out ridicilously fast, as they always do.

I have been on a quest to find sets I used to listen to when I was younger. And during the early noughties I was fully in love with Trance music, and bought literally everything the Free Record Shop had to sell. Also van Leest, but it was a shittier shop, truth be told. But Trance Energy was one of those CDs I bought every time they were released, and when TMF and Radio 538 started to play livesets recorded at Trance Energy, they got me hooked. And I remember hearing Cosmic Gate play. It was the last set at the main stage. But their set was loved by many (according to Partyflock's comment section). Soundcloud has been my friend, and their set has been uploaded. And it included a tracklist. That's what I wanted to hear on this rainy Saturday afternoon. Some early Cosmic Gate and some wicked Trance music coming through my speakers, recorded at one of the finest Trance events in the whole world. Nothing can beat Trance Energy. It's coming back slowly, but does it capture the atmosphere as it used to be during the noughties? Here's the tracklist! 01. Cosmic Gate - Welcome 02. Cosmic Gate - Fire Wire 03. Cosmic Gate - Exploration Of Space (New Club Mix) 04. Cosmic Gate - The Truth 05. Jam X & De Leon - Can You Dig It? 06. Sioux - Pho 07. DJ Isaac - On The Edge 08. Carambola - Blue Horizons (Deepack Mix) 09. Cosmic Gate - Back To Earth (S.H.O.K.K. Remix) 10. DJ Tiesto - Urban Train (Cosmic Gate Remix) There are many sets which bring a smile on my face, but some do have the power to make me even happier than before. This is one of those sets: it enlightens me with an unusual euphoric and melodramatic feeling. Why dramatic? Well, I want to go back to these wonderful years, these were literally the best for Trance music. Still influenced by many other styles, and oh so sexy. Cosmic Gate ruled back in 2002, and they still do. Their hour long set was impressive. Yes, the quality of the set isn't great, and you do hear the Radio 538 presenter here and there, but the general gist is good. And blow me away: 'Can You Dig It?'! Haven't heard this tune in a decade or so! What a wicked anthem. You already know that this is my favourite record from their set. The crowd loves it, and so do I. This hour has flown by really fast. This is true music. Maybe sounding dated, but that's just it! You can not go back in time, but sadly most of us who lived and danced during these years want to. I would happily give up everything I've got now, for just one awesome weekend in 2002/2003. I've got no negative feedback, only positive. Check this set out right now, and close your eyes: for a split second you are actually in 2002. And the dancefloor is yours....

It's a lovely Saturday morning, and the first thing I did? Well, it was waking up the whole neighbourhood with Uptempo/Terror music. Am I being a selfish c*nt? Yep. As I said to my doctor many times, I have got no filter. So when I want to listen to something, I just do it and do no care about anyone around me. Waking up and listening to a brand new promo mix is just what I needed. Had a rough week behind me, so i needed something rough and raw. My friend Thumpa (you've seen his name before) is organising parties in Birmingham under the name of Chapel Of Chaos. And the next event takes place on the 14th of December at Suki 10C. If you like your music to be a bit hard and rough, let me name a few artists coming: Smurf, Alarm, Hades & D-Noize, himself (Thumpa), Demonic Technique, Sawyer, and Kurwastyle Project. I've seen the last artist's name before, but never heard a mix by him. Or what he does. That's going to change. I was intrigued due to the picture of this devilish mask. This to me shows that this artist does not play anything soft and happy, and I was right. This half hour long promo mix contains fucking filth. Ear damaging music. And trust me, once you click 'play', you need to realise that the music coming towards you is really rough. A trip to the local GP will be needed. 01.

Kurwastyle Project feat Doctor Terror - Psycho Mantis This will definately wake you the fuck up. If this is your cup of tea, you know what to do: press play and let this mix guide you through the weekend. It really woke me up. Kurwastyle's style is quite interesting. It's nice to see a few of his own productions in here, so I can get to know him a bit more. I'm not a huge lover of Uptempo Hardcore, so you need to give me some time to get use to it, but for now it's not bad to listen to it. Happy and hard, rough and sexy. That's how I would describe it. If you love Hardcore, Industrial, Terror, Uptempo, Frenchcore, Classics, and everything inbetween, go to Birmingham on the 14th of December. If you think Kurwastyle is the shit, worth checking his UK debut out. Best record? 'Psycho Mantis'. Simple reason. It's ace.

I AM BACK! After a week of silence I have returned! TCD is fully operational again (funny word play), and with this announcement I would like to inform you about this awesome mix I heard of a couple of weeks ago, but only yesterday the tracklist was added, so I can share it with you all! If you want to know which mixes I am going to review in the future but not yet (due to them not having a tracklist) you can always follow me on Soundcloud and look at my liked/reposted tracks. I was offline due to kidney surgery, and I was thinking that I would be off for quite a while. But only discharged this Tuesday, back on Thursday for complications, and now on Friday I am sitting like nothing has happened at all. But something did happen, something humonguous! Substanced released the second instalment of the 'Pure Freeform' mix series! The last mix was released a year ago, and now this second one is about to blow your mind away! You might be thinking that I'm still on some kind of drugs to say that, and you are right: Tramadol is quite powerful to me. But I'm stating the truth. And I'm going to make another statement, and it will be another huge announcement: this is 2018's biggest and baddest Freeform mix! It's been rather quiet on the Freeform mixes world, so when mixes do show up, it always makes me moist. And this one has made me extremely moist. 01. Substanced - Waking Gods 02. Transcend - Flux d'Air 03. Substanced - Humanity 04. Alchemiist - Rotters 05. Kokomochi - Catalepsy 06. Substanced - Jinpachi 07. Substanced - Legend (Alchemiist Remix) 08.

Finnbarr & Joey Riot - The Devil's Symphony 13. DJ Neon - Tribute (A.B Remix) 14. Kokomochi - Artemis 15. Substanced - The Killing This is such a wciked mix, a true Freeform fan has probably already changed their underwear. Moist levels are going through the roof! And I'm a Freeform fanatic, you all know that. No denying that! But what this mix has to offer goes beyond anything I have heard this year, or in a long time! Don't know where he found all these gems (besides his own records, of course), but they all work! If you don't know Freeform, this to me is the perfect introduction to it. It's always difficult to explain Freeform to the untrained music lover, but just press play, and let Substanced take you into a trip you have never experienced before. Fucking filth. Oh I love it! All these records are majestic. From the AMAZING first to the BRILLIANT last record, Substanced keeps the entertainment level high. I can go on and on for hours, but I won't. I will let this mix speak for itself. I found no issues or anything negative to mention. The only thing I would like to mention are my two favourite records, both by Substanced: 'Waking Gods', and' The Killing'.

Dominator. A simple word. But the meaning and the power behind it is impressive. This Q-Dance event has earned its place in the history books, and is a gabbers mekka. The place to be. And thankfully it's not the only event for die-hard gabbers. But it's one that many people look forward to. Many people start saving up money every year to make sure they can enjoy the event in every way. And once the day arrives, the people are living the dream; in their thousands they do turn up. Dominator is proof that Hardcore is still alive and kicking. Who is also proof of Hardcore being alive is Amada. This fellow artist from Limburg (I am not an artist, but someone from Limburg) has been a gust of fresh air. The last time I reviewed one of her sets was her set at the majestic Thunderdome. You might disagree, but to play at Thunderdome is proof that you have made it in the scene. But not only was she a nice gust at Thunderdome, but also at this year's Dominator. Her set is now online, and it's got a tracklist. Woop woop. The reason why I think she's amazing is that she loves it all. Every picture I see of her performing has got her smiling on it. And that's what I like to see. She loves it, smiles for miles. And we need more people smiling. Here's the tracklist. 01. N-Vitral - Such Kick 02. Ophidian - Butterfly 03. The Stunned Guys - Dancefloor Dictator 04. Dione - Hellraiser 05. Tommyknocker - Crunk 06. Lenny Dee - Forgotten Moments (Ophidian Remix) 07. Endymion & Evil Activities - Vengeance 08. The Prodigy - Voodoo People (Hellsystem Remix) 09. Angerfist - Crusader 10. Mad Dog - Enter The Time Machine (Amnesys Re-Enter Mix) 11. Art Of Fighters - Artwork (Tha Playah Remix) 12. Angerfist - The Law 13. The Playah - Clockwork 14. Dione - Supercrazy 15. Yoshiko - POP IT 16. Tha Playah - The Impact 17. N-Vitral & Sei2ure - Let's Get Dirty 18. Bloodcage - Skitz 19. Bodylotion - Hardcore To The Bone (N-Vitral Remix) 20. Nosferatu - Died Again 21. Angerfist - Still Pissin' Razorblades 22. Tripped & Detest - Revolution I woke up today at 5:30, and this was the first thing I listened to. And it made me awake. Quite quickly. And to me that's NOT a negative thing: I need my daily dose of music coming through the speakers. Judging the amount of hours I spent daily listening it has become borderline insane. But it's my escapism. It's my well needed drug. And to hear Amada's set has given me enough power to get through this horrible day. Amada likes Hardcore a bit rough. This Limburgse DJ shows us the kind of music which makes her happy. And she's not the only one. At Dominator you don't just walk through the gates and listen to mediocre music: you want your music to be fucking banging. Hard as hell. Hardcore to the bone. And that is exactly what she's bringing to the table. Her enthusiasm is intoxicating. You can feel her happiness. What I wasn't feeling through this set was the 'MC'. Maybe it was better if the mic wasn't plugged in: he didn't bring anything special to this set. Never understood MCs in the Hardcore scene, sorry. Which record caused the most mayhem? Really loved 'Died Again' (even though it was played extremely short), but 'Dancefloor Dictators' still causes the most damage to me. A wonderful set. It made me happy. A few tiny mistakes, but nothing to worry about. You can find other set on Dominator Festival's Soundcloud page. Unless you are anti-Hardcore, you might find this an interesting channel to follow. Give it a go and enlighten your Friday!

Today was a good day. I discovered a lot of new music, which made me a happy bunny. I had the opportunity to listen to music whilst working, and when I found this mix by Chris Blaylock, I knew it was going to be good. The previous mixes were all Trance focussed, but for this mix he has gone all out Techno. It's Techno for an hour. And seriously, who doesn't like Techno? After hearing this mix I pictured myself in prison. Well, that's the title of the mix: Techno Prisoners. If I would be in prison, Techno would be the music to listen to. But why this name? Well, Techno doesn't take no prisoners. You know what I mean. It captures you, like the police would. Fuck me sideways, I am not explaining this properly. Anyway, this mix. It's filth. It's Techno the way you want to hear it. Chris has made an hour long mix, and it does take you to places you've not been to before. It generates a good feeling. I really enjoyed this mix. Even though the tracklist doesn't really do much to me, the music has been really epic! 01. Veerus - Heavy 02. Adam Beyer & Bart Skills - Your Mind 03. Filterheadz - Voyager 04. Marie Vaunt - Alchemy 05. Dominik Schwarzz & A*S*Y*S - Destruction 06. Thomas Schumacher & Victor Ruiz - Wonder 07. Martin Brooks - Flitzepulver 08. Klaudia Gawlas - The Siren 09. B. Traits - I Feel The Music 10. Tom Hades - Blast 11. Cardao - Phenomena 12. Spektre - Without Warning (Thomas Schumacher Remix) 13. Giovanni Carozza - Flee 14. Avision - Jux (Ben Simms Edit) This is pure filth. Wasn't expecting this at all. I really liked his previous Trance mixes, but truth be told: this Techno mix is way better compared to the Trance stuff. This music is more addictive, to say the least. Especially the darker records he selected. If I close my eyes, I can picture myself back at Innercity in the Amsterdam Rai during the early 00s. This kind of Techno would be thrown at us ravers. And this is such a passionate sound, there's no way of stopping you dancing throughout the night. It's new, refreshing, and yet it touches a lot of the Oldskool sounds. A bit of early Techno, a bit of Acid House, a bit of everything. And that's what I like. Shall I mention the negative stuff? There's nothing. Absolutely nothing. I could go and pick something, but I would be lying. What a wonderful and exciting mix. To me the best Techno mix of 2018. Such a lovely vibe. Go and check it out for yourself.

Who doesn't know Dwarf Records? This now defunct label is known by many true Oldskool Hardcore/Gabber lovers, and has been a huge influence back in the 90s. I read somewhere that this label was active between 1994 and 2001, and slowly died. Don't know the reason behind this Den Haag based label becoming defunct, but what I do know is that they released a lot of awesome records by artists such as Scott Brown, Brothers In Crime, Isaac, Ferocious, The Viper, Norman, El Bruto and more. Maybe a bit more focussed on the Happy Hardcore side of Hardcore, but that's never a disappointment, is it? DJ Terror has made this dedication mix, full with records from this mighty label. And seeing as I was an ID&T boy during the 90s (I only bought stuff from this label) I missed out on a lot. And when I mean ID&T, I also mean Arcade. Some of Dwarf Records' tracks made it onto compilations released by these two labels, but after looking at Discogs I realised that there were still shitloads of records I had never heard of. So to hear DJ Terror's mix having a few of these unknown records kind of tickled me. I was intrigued. And I reckon you will be too! An hour and 10 minute long mix. Once you see the tracklist you will realise that this mix will be on repeat throughout today and next week. Brilliant records, brilliant mix. 01. The Scotchman - Asylum 02. Hyperact - My Best Friend 03. El Bruto - Watch Me Dance 04. Stingray - Floorfiller 05. Warlock - Ultra Hard Frequencies 06. Ferocious - Get On Up 07. Brothers In Crime - 100% Crisis 08. Ferocious - Everybody Reach To The Top 09. Stingray & Sonicdriver - Cold As Ice 10. DJ Isaac - Happy Hardcore Freak 11. Ferocious - Listen To Me 12. Warlock - Delirious 13. Warlock - Energize 14.

Isn't this beautiful? This has sparked my Happy Hardcore enthusiasm, and I am going through my old collection in a bit, just to get my fix. I know this label's focus was Hardcore, but come on, the majority of records were more Happy Hardcore, eh? And sadly we don't hear enough of this European Happy Hardcore. There are a lot of UK Happy Hardcore mixes, but we need more mixes like this. This is the kind of Hardcore which makes me moist. I fell in love with this sound. I became this sound. And I even remember doing a project at school about Hardcore music. It wasn't a success, because I was the only lover of it. But I still did it. DJ Terror made another remarkable mix. Really enjoyed this trip back into time, to the really wicked years. And his selection of records, got no complaints about them. Fucking moist making anthems. But now the most important question: which one of these 27 records make me the most moist? Well, basically everything Brothers In Crime made. A not long lived Hardcore duo. Don't know why they stopped, because they were really ace. But I just love their happiness and cheerfullness. Another epic mix by DJ Terror. Really enjoyed this one. The flow is continuous, and there's no stopping the happy vibes coming to you through your speakers. Happy music makes Martin a Happy Dutchman!

You might remember a mix I had reviewed a couple of weeks or months ago, a Trance mix made by the people behind the wonderful Soundcloud channel 'History Of Happy Hardcore'. And I think I mentioned within this review that I was going to check the other mixes out. Well, yesterday I did. I was looking for something Trancy, and I remembered the first mix. Quickly this led up to me being intoxicated for 2 hours and 7 minutes. For those picky people: this is the length of the mix. Anyway, yes, this is the second instalment of their succesfull Trance mix series. The weekend has landed, and we all need time to switch off our minds. With Trance music it always seems to work for me. And the positive thing about these mixes, is the fact that they have gone back to the roots. The early days of Trance music. So you can imagine that this Dutchman is extremely happy: Trance was my escape during the early noughties. When Hardcore nearly died, I had to have something to replace it. Now the two worlds could not be more different from each other, but hey, at least it's music. The mixes (5 so far) have all got a theme. They are named Ibiza, Coast, Eternity, Dreams, and Communication (this was the one I reviewed). The one which you are going to listen to, is 'Coast'. What kind of promise does it give you? Well, if you close your eyes and hear these anthems, you can picture yourself wearing a bathing costume, feet in the sand, with the water crashing into the beach. This is music that has the power to take your mind away. The tracklist is a monster! Have a look! 01. Chicane feat Maire Brennan (Of Clannad) - Saltwater 02. Lucid - I Can't Help Myself (The Lucid Vocal Mix) 03. Agnelli & Nelson - El Nino 04. BBE - Seven Days And One Week (Club Mix) 05. Da Hool - Meet Her At The Love Parade (Nalin & Kane Mix) 06.

Thanks History Of Happy Hardcore for making this wonderful mix. Your usual mixes are good, but in a weird way these Trance mixes do get me in the zone much easier. Trance all the way! You might wonder if this mix is a tad too long? Well, it certainly isn't. 2 hours do fly by, and you have realised that within those 2 hours you have done absolutely nothing but sit behind your PC and just listened. Nothing else. Just listened. And that, to me, is a state of bliss. We've worked hard during the week, let us unwind right now. The tracks are true beauties. And they have only used 20, so you get full length records, no radio edit nonsense. Pure Trance for minute after minute. Of course the majority of records are well known classics, such as Gouryella, Madagascar, Seven Days And One Week, but the one that got me the happiest was 'I Can't Help Myself'. Such a wicked anthem. It's got that futuristic sound and also the oldskool Trance vibe. And the vocals made me moist. Yet another succesfull episode of this majestic Trance series. Can't wait for episode 6. Maybe ditch the Happy Hardcore bit, and just do Trance. Nah, kidding, still feel the urge to hear Happy Hardcore. But more Trance too!

Wow. Before I start talking about this mix from 2017 by the legendary Pat B, shall we just ignore everything and look at the beautiful young lady in the image. It's a good looking young lady, and her assets do bring the mixtape cover to life. God, her eyes do follow me everywhere! Damn you Pat, for making this your cover. Whatever I just rambled on about, let's talk about this mix. It's a mix recorded 10 months ago, and it's called 'The Legendary 69'. I missed this whole event: it was a live session, with 69 of the finest Jumpstyle and Tek records from the beginning to the present day. This was live broadcasted during a nearly 3 hour long session/livestream, and Pat B does what we love and adore: he keeps us jumping continuously. These 69 records were voted for by us, the fans (well, not me, I never knew this existed). And it's one amazing and insane journey that he takes you on. From the big commercial hits (that I really dislike, but that's a different story all together) to the dark and underground stuff. Expect the unexpected. The result is you, the listener, having a smile on your face for 2 hours and 47 minutes. And a bonus: this is downloadable! For free of course: I am still Dutch, so I'm a cheapskate. 69.

To make this list is a daunting task (putting everyone's favourite records all together in one epic mix), but also to stay awake during those nearly 3 hours. You do hear Pat from time to time, talk about the artist or the record. But not in an annoying way. One thing that needs to be said: the microphone level was ridicilously high. I was playing this obviously on a high volume in the car, and whenever Pat started to speak, I had to lower the volume. My speakers started to produce cracking noises. Which could lead up to more issues. But that's all. The majority of voters did play it safe, and selected big anthems by superstar Jump and Tek producers such as Lethal MG, Coone, Mark-V, Chicago Zone, Dark-E, and more. Some tracks in here were new to me, so I guess these were the darker records. Well, whatever they are, they were ace! Some records are not my cup of tea, like Frozen Flame and I Feel Like Dancing, and Halloween. Maybe a tad too cheesy for me. I would still dance to them, but they were not my favourites. But you might wonder, is the number 1 in this list also my number one? Fuck yes. Fucking hell. Who can disagree? This is truly a masterpiece. One of the best records ever made and remixed. What a wicked anthem. You can still play this in 2018 and the crowds will loose their fricking minds. A few minor tracks and the mic level being high. But those are minor things. All in all a wicked thing to do. Is he going to do this year's Legendary 69? I might have some records I want to add/hear. Pat B, you sir, are a ledge (this means legend in the UK). Keep them coming. Never stop. Never stop making us jump (even though I never tried, because I've got whale legs (and this doesn't even exist, so image!!)).
