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.

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.

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. Injection 1 / Enzyme Edition / Digitally Mixed By Endymion 01. DJ Nosferatu vs Endymion - Industrial Wreckage 02. Meagashira - Loss Of Intelligence (Stay...!) 03.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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. Yellow Claw & Juyen Sebulba - Do You Like Bass? 02. Robert Armani - Hit Hard w/ De La Soul - Plug Tuning w/ Marshall Masters - Stereo Murder w/ Thunderball - Bonzai Channel One w/ Triplepack - Join Hands 03.

The Masochist - Kill The Remix 58. Oasis vs DJ Panda - It's A Dream (Paul Elstak Hardcore 2017 Mashup) This was a bitch typing. Not sure if the whole tracklist is correct. 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. DJ Ghost - The First Rebirth w/ DJ Ghost - The First Rebirth (Baby Doc & The Dentist Remix) 05. Butch & Sundance - Back To Earth (Brain Bashers Remix) 06. Yves Deruyter - The Rebel w/ Mario Pompetti - I Had A Dream There Was No Dream (Acapella) 07. The Moon - Blow The Speakers 08. Public Domain - Operation Domain 2009 09. Armani & Ghost - Airport 10. 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. Miss Enemy & Kurwastyle project feat MC Komplex - Infections 02. Hatred & Smasher - Sweet Dreams 03. Hardbouncer - Not Insane 04. SRB - War Machine 05. Kurwastyle Project - Broken 06. Kurwastyle Project - Don't Speak (Busy On The Tempo) 07. Re-Fuzz - End The World 08. Paranoizer - ID 09. Kurwastyle Project & Striker - Loud & Kickin' 10. SRB - Neighbour Strut 11. 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. Hans Zimmer - Interstellar (Moonrock Bootleg) 09. DJ Neon feat Lindsey Marie - TransFORM 10. Hyphen - Dendrobium 11. Transcend - Glitches In Reality 12. 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. Brothers In Crime - Hallucinating (El Bruto Mix) 15. DJ Isaac & Pagan - 2 Definitions 16. Ultimate Buzz & MC Bee - On A MIssion 17. The Carpenter - Jump Off The Fucking Roof 18. El Bruto - Hypnotic Spectrum 19. DJ The Viper - Rude Boy Man 20. Prezioso - Feel The Rhythm (Stunned Guys Remix) 21. DJ Pagan - Get Down 22. DJ The Viper - Voodoo Magic 23. Brothers In Crime - Out Of Sight 24. Brothers In Crime - Drop Da Beat (DJ Paul Forze Remix) 25. DJ Pagan - We Do It 26. DJ Norman - We're Here 27. El Bruto - Hardcore Motherfucker Look at this. 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!

Yesterday I was playing on my phone, and found a few records on it. Defqon.1 anthems. To me, since 2009, they've been on top of things. One of the best anthems in the Hard Dance scene. So the most logical thing to do after this is to go to our friend Soundcloud and look for mixes containing these anthems. And I have found one! Well, technically speaking I already found one a few months ago, but the mixing was absolutely appaling, so that would have not been a good one, but this new one, mixed by JDN, looked more promising. I have reviewed the 'Helemaal Doorgetoerd' mix series before, and I think it was Jason Payne's mix who got me into this new series. This new mix was uploaded 4 months ago, prior to Defqon.1 2018 of course. So I'm a tad late. Or maybe a bit too early, for 2019's Defqon.1. But I think this won't do you any harm, to listen to these wonderful and marvellous anthems. I really have the feeling that they are the best of the best, if you compare them to other event anthems. And they are diverse too. JDN has mixed the anthems starting from 2003 until 2018 together, in cronological order. So we start with DHHD's anthem of 2003, and finish with Project One's 2018 anthem. Let me show you the tracklist. It's a beauty. 01. DHHD - 30 Minutes (Defqon.1 Anthem 2003) 02. Tuneboy - Demolition (Defqon.1 Anthem 2004) 03. The Prophet - Emergency Call (Defqon.1 Anthem 2005) 04. Showtek - The Colour Of The Harder Styles (Defqon.1 Anthem 2006) 05. Brennan Heart vs JDX - Get Wasted (Defqon.1 Anthem 2007) 06. Luna & Deepack - Biological Insanity (Defqon.1 Anthem 2008) 07. Headhunterz - Scrap Attack (Defqon.1 Anthem 2009) 08. Wildstylez - No Time To Waste (Defqon.1 Anthem 2010) 09. Noisecontrollers - Unite (Defqon.1 Anthem 2011) 10. Headhunterz & Wildstylez & Noisecontroller - World Of Madness (Defqon.1 Anthem 2012) 11. Frontliner - Weekend Warriors (Defqon.1 Anthem 2013) 12. Coone - Survival Of The Fittest (Defqon.1 Anthem 2014) 13. Ran-D feat Skits Vicious - No Guts, No Glory (Defqon.1 Anthem 2015) 14. Bass Modulators - Dragonblood (Defqon.1 Anthem 2016) 15. Frequencerz - Victory Forever (Defqon.1 Anthem 2017) 16. Project One - Maximum Force (Defqon.1 Anthem 2018) As you are all aware, during the early days of the 2000s it was Hard House that dominated everything. The daddy of Hardstyle. So the first few anthems were dominated by this sound, but slowely over the years they changed into full on Hardstyle anthems. And I think the transition has worked beautifully. And to be fair, I do love the true Hardstyle anthems more. From 2009 onwards the records have spoken to me a lot more. It was mr Heady who changed the game. But before we start talking about the quality, let's talk about the man behind the voice. Whoever he is, his voice always brings me cheer and happiness. Quite the low voice, but oh so suitable! Credits for the man who provided us with the majestic 'Defqon.1' voice. After listening to JDN's mix it became apparant that it was going to be difficult for me to hand pick a favourite. There are simply too many! I really love 'Scrap Attack' (the record that got me into Headhunterz's sound), but what about 'World Of Madness','Survival Of The Fittest', 'Maximum Force'... but after hearing this mix and using my brain I have decided that the best record has to be 'Victory Forever'. But that's a personal decision. If the Australian anthems would be included, I would have picked one of them. But they weren't, so let's not talk about them. A really good mix by JDN. Really enjoyed it. And if you are into Hardstyle and love Defqon.1, you should check out this mix. Quality anthems, for sure!

Hamunaptra. What a legendary name in the Hardcore scene. The creator of some really dark and edgy Hardcore anthems. The other day I reviewed a Ophidian Enzyme records megamix, and it got me hyped up for Enzyme. So, as it normally happens, Soundcloud showed me something I might like, tracks similar to the ones recently played, and guess which mix appeared? Correct, Hamunaptra's set at Ghosttown back in 2014. And thankfully Hansolo (a Hardcore lover) provided us with a whole tracklist. Guess what? It contains a lot of Enzyme records! So that's a bonus! I quickly looked at Discogs to find out who's responsible for Hamunaptra, and it's someone who I never heard of. But he has made such an impact on me, music wise, it's unbelievable. My favourite Hamunaptra record has got to be 'Soul Entrapment', which sadly isn't in this mix. But still 19 excellent records. Ghosttown 2014 was a good one, and produced many remarkable livesets, which you can all find on Soundcloud. For me the focus this weekend was Enzyme records, and boy, did I get my request fullfilled? I got even more. I'm on an overdose of Enzyme right now! 01. Enzyme X - Doorbanen 02. Meagashira - Swarm 03. Enzyme X - Syskwahor 04. Nosferatu - Beaver Cleaver 05. Nosferatu vs Endymion - Stay Focussed! 06. Nosferatu - Human Experiments 07. Nosferatu & Endymion - All The Way Up 08. Hamunaptra & Ophidian - Frightning Phobia 09. Ophidian & Hamunaptra - Whispers Of A Nameless Fear 10. Meagashira - End Of Line 11. Ophidian - Predator & Prey 12. Ophidian & Tapage - The Mine 13. Enzyme X - Tsui Pa Shien 14. Hamunaptra feat Ruffneck - Stalked By Death 15. Nosferatu & Ophidian - Psychiatric Ass 16. Nosferatu - The Underground Stream (Dione Remix) 17. Hamunaptra - Neon Genesis Part 1 (Yataaah!) 18. Ophidian - Butterfly V.I.P. (VIP Edit By Ophidian) 19. Project Omega - Prednison Attack That's a nice looking tracklist. I don't think I've ever heard or seen a set by Hamunaptra online, so this is my introduction into his wonderful and dark world. And this world we know as Enzyme. I can't mention anything bad about the tracklist. It's what you would have expected. Dark, edgy, and fucking madness. So many awesome records in here, by not only the DJ himself, but also Nosferatu, Ophidian (you can't do a set without at least one record by him), Enzyme X, and more. When I heard this set for the first time it blew me away. The quality of the tunes, don't need to discuss this. It's what you would expect: so darn good. And to start your set with 'Doorbanen', and end it with 'Prednison Attack', you are doing it absolutely right. And the first record in this set is immediately my favourite. It's not 100% perfect during the hour and 20 minutes. Does contain a few tiny errors, but don't let that set you back. Press play right now, and hear those awesome records. I know you want to!

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!!)).

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!

A true UK Hardcore raver knows all the labels still excisting, and those that sadly perished into oblivion. One of the longest running labels, Evolution Records, does not need an introduction. A label started by Scottish DJ Scott Brown has been causing damage for a long time (to be precise, since 1994 this label has given us so many memorable tunes). 24 years of wicked music. And still going strong in 2018! I reckon that Scott Brown did not expect it to last that long. Or if he did, he had an extremely good feeling about it. Whatever he thought would happen back in 1994, it's still one of the most loved and respected labels. To me Scott Brown is the ultimate legend. I think I never had the chance to see the man perform (or maybe I have, but I was too damn wasted), but HAS's last event at the beginning of next year will be the event where I'll absorb everything Scott Brown related (he's there of course). But until then, Soundcloud is the only place I can enjoy my Scott Brown/Evolution Record buzz. DJ Threat made this awesome mix. I think I have already reviewed a mix by him before, and I think it was also a Scott Brown/Evolution mix. Can't remember, have reviewed thousands of mixes, and my previous database has been lost forever. So let's focus on the present day and his 2018 Evolution Records dedication/appreciation mix! He went all out. And when I say all out, I do mean it. The tracklist will blow you into smithereens. 01. Scott Brown - Do What Ya Like (Macks Wolf Remix) 02. Plus System - Commence (M-Project Remix) 03. Scott Brown & M-Project - The Revolution (Daniel Seven Remix) 04. Scott Brown - Fight For You 05. Scott Brown - Life As We Know It (Jonny El Remix) 06. Energy Syndicate & Sc@r - Midnight 07. Scott Brown - Go! 08. Ganah vs Nova - Psystyler 09. Scott Brown - Definition Of A Badboy (M-Project Remix) 10. Scott Brown - Make You Scream 11. Scott Brown & M-Project feat Krystal - Energized 12. Ganah feat Bridson - Part Of Me 13. Ganah vs Galaxy Kid - Drop That Bass 14. Scott Brown - Welcome To Your Fantasy (Jason Bouse & Hartshorn Remix) 15. Ganah vs Juggernaut - Gone 16. Scott Brown & DMO - Fade Away (Rob IYF Remix) 17. Plus System - Prince Of Darkness (Ganah Remix) 18. Scott Brown & Ganah feat Bridson - Like The Sun 19. Ineffect - There Can Only Be One 20. Ganah x Andy Wilson - Love Of My Life What a wonderful tracklist! A bit of the 'old' and new, crammed together into this hour and ten minute long mix. And I might have a rather unusual thing to say about this. All will be revealed in less than a minute (if you continue reading of course). I loved this mix a lot. DJ Threat (who's not really a threat to us, more like a treat) has made this truly amazing mix. And if Scott Brown himself reposts this mix on Soundcloud, you know you have done something good. He won't repost shite mixes. And this is certainly not a shite mix. Look at the tunes, the quality of them will be known once you press play. The thing I have to say about this is the following: I am a huge fan of the old Scott Brown sound. I loved his music since the 90s. His Gabber stuff was amazing, but his UK Hardcore stuff is more my thing. And even though it's really nice to see updated versions of his classic records such as 'Definition Of A Badboy', ' Prince Of Darkness', ' Commence' and more, it's his new stuff that blows my mind away! Some DJs/producers just live on the success they had in the past, but not Scott. Still using the same pattern, but making it sounding extremely fresh. I'm deeply impressed with Scott Brown's solo stuff. ' Go!' is a monster. 'Make You Scream' made me scream indeed, but the one that really rocked me was ' Fight For You'. I don't know what it is, but Scott seemed to have read the scene, and gave us his take on UK Hardcore with a bit of the old and the new. And it sounds so good. But let's not forget the remixes. Really impressed by M-Project's remixes ('Commence' and 'Definition Of A Badboy') but it's Macks Wolf who steals the show. His version of 'Do What Ya Like' is stealing the show. He made an already legendary record even better. And I secretly adore Ganah's stuff. His approach really grabs me, and it captures the scene and what the scene needs. There's no end to this bloody mix. DJ Threat picked the best of the best. And the result is a mind blowingly good mix.

If you are a true gabber, you know Enzyme Records. One of the most notorious labels in the Hardcore scene, they've been pushing the darker side of Hardcore forward for many years. And whilst I was listening to a mix earlier on Soundcloud, I was thinking 'what is actually my favourite Hardcore track of all time?'. And I didn't have the answer to it. But what I did have is an album which I loved and played over and over again. And it was 'Enzyme Injection 1'. Released back in 2002, when the label was really touching base in a growing scene. That CD is part of my huge CD collection, and I think that it symbols my love for the darker side of Hardcore. It does contain underrated records, ones I truly miss in some 'best of Hardcore' mixes. And guess what kind of mix I found a few hours ago on Soundcloud? Well, you won't believe it (I'm being extremely sarcastic now): a Enzyme Megamix, containing records from 2001 until 2011, mixed by the magician Ophidian. I consider myself lucky, after finding it. What I didn't realise was that it is a megamix. A proper megamix. No fooling around by Ophidian. He goes full in! The mix is only an hour and a half long, but he crammed in so many, you won't even noticed that within a space of 5 minutes you listened to 5 records or more. But it's Ophidian, and he's a magician. And he can do it properly. The mix is 5 years old, and I only discovered it. I am ashamed. But at least I'm listening to it now, and I do hope you have got an hour and a half for this. Because it's a masterpiece. 01. Endymion - It's All Music 02. Enzyme X - Poison 03. Meagashira - End Of Line (Endymion Remix) 04. Nosferatu & Endymion - Broken Rules 05.

Ophidian - Abandon 71. Ruffneck & Ophidian - A Decade Of Enzyme Mashup The hour an a half have flown by. And it's an amazing journey. You would not wish for it to end, but it does. And when it ends, you get a mashup, one quality mashup. But all the 70 tracks before it will blow your mind. I knew the label excisted and that they released music over a decade, but the thing that amazed me was the amount of records I actually knew and love! And how dark they are, even if you compare it to nowadays music. Obviously this is much better than Uptempo. This has more feeling to it, it generates more happiness to me. Ophidian, the magician, has made a wonderful megamix. But there's a sad side to this. Some records are played too short. And these are the records I ADORE TO THE BONE. Like 'Apocalypse', ' Poison', 'Lost In Music', 'Cameltoe', 'Vengeance', 'System 5601', but the worst thing is the shortness of the greatest record released on this label: 'Soul Entrapment'. This was a record I actually had on vinyl, and the level of quality was beyond belief! This is still my favourite from this label. Wish this megamix was a bit longer, but then we wouldn't call it a megamix, would we? I know he had to cram these all in. Still impressive though. 71 records in 1 hour and 31 minutes. But all in all I can not complain. Ophidian has teased us all, and has made me want to go through my old collection and dig up those anthems. But 'Soul Entrapment' will be the first I will be playing out loud and let the whole neighbourhood hear it. And if they don't like it, I will devour their souls! What else is there to say? A truly epic megamix by a wizard. If you dislike it, you are insane. Fact.

Soundcloud, such a beautiful place. Filled with hours of tremendous joy. And I do mean it. For me Soundcloud is much more interesting, if I would compare it to other social media outlets such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. My time is well spent on Soundcloud. And today I found yet another banging mix, this time it's a Jungle inspired mix, by DJ Rikochet, for Beautifully Crafted. I don't listen to Jungle enough, and when I spotted this mix on Soundcloud, it made me a very happy person. I don't know what it is, but Jungle music is a style that you can listen to at any given time of the day, and it won't bother you. It's always pleasant. So to find this hour and a half mix made me a very happy and excited Dutchman. This masterclass mix by DJ Rikochet is an excellent one. According to the channel he is an oldskool veteran, and his mix is focussed on soulful 93/94 Jungle. So let me show you the tracklist. And if Jungle is your thing, you will love it! 01. J Majik - Sunray (Rufige Cru Remix) 02. Fast Floor - Trippin On Sunshine 03. Foul Play - Being With You (Foul Play Remix) 04. Foul Play - Beats Track 05. 4 Horsemen Of The Apocalypse - Drowning In Her (4 Horsemen Remix) 06. Rogue Unit - Rogue Unit Jam (Mickey Finn Remix) 07. Omni Trio - Renegade Snares (Foul Play Remix) 08.

DJ Trace - Coffee (Full Of Flavor Mix) 14. Studio Pressure - Touching Down ... Planet Photek 15. DJ Ruffkutt - Untitled (Heavyweight Vol 1B) 16. Midi Magic - Calm Before The Storm 17. The Truper - Untitled (Volume 3B) 18. Blame & Justice - Nightvision It's Halloween tonight, but that doesn't mean you need to be scared at all. You just need to crank up the volume and enjoy this mix: no ghost or ghoulies are going to ruin your evening. If you turn up the volume high enough, the kids won't even bother you: they might think you live in a haunted house already. Anyway, this mix. Yeah, let's talk about this mix. It's a brilliant one. Lovely and melodic Jungle/Drum and Bass music. I think it's called liquid, isn't it? Whatever the music is, it's lush. It's calm, relaxing, and highly enjoyable. I have enjoyed every second of it. It might have been an hour and a half, but it's so serene. I can talk for hours about this mix, but for once I will leave it all in your hands, the reader. I don't need to express the need for you all to listen to this mix. Just sit back and enjoy it. It's so good, you won't want to stop listening. Credits to DJ Rikochet for this masterpiece!

Soundcloud is my friend. Whenever I need to find new music, I do so by just going onto Soundcloud. And without too much exploring, I will always find new music. Like I did the other day! I came across this set by Mangled, recorded at Clubland USA, in Los Angeles on the 7th of July of this year. Of course I wasn't there (I live in the UK, would be a bit weird to fly to the USA to experience Clubland, when it's literally on my doorstep), but thankfully Soundcloud made me aware of the surprise set of the night. Judging by the positive comments, people seemed to love Mangled. I had never heard of them before, so this is my introduction into Mangled. But let me just point out the names of the acts performing at this Clubland event: Ian Van Dahl, Ultrabeat, Flip and Fill, Zoe van West, and of course Mangled. I don't know much about Mangled, so let's focus on the tracklist. And for those who were looking for a nostalgic set, check this out: 01. Candee Jay - If I Were You 02. Al Storm & Euphony - All I Wanna Do 03. IYF & Nobody feat Roxie - Like A Prayer 04. Angel City - Sunrise (Chaos Remix) 05. Scott Brown - Do What Ya Like (Macks Wolf Remix) 06. Squad-E vs Dougal & Gammer - You U Eye I 07. DJ Magical - Rush Hour (Jaw D Remix) 08. Hixxy, Ramos, Protocol & Dubzie - Open Your Eyes 09. Anthem Pwer - So Sweet 10. Raving Donkey - Away 11. Cascada - Can't Get Enough (Squad-E Remix) 12. Cascada - Miracle (HHC Remix) This brings back memories! Nostalgic feelings. They've added a few slammers from back in the day, like the records from Cascada, Angel City, and let's not forget Candee Jay! Boy, when you realise how 'old' these records are, it makes you feel old too. But they are still classics. Again, I'm not familiar with Mangled, but their set is amazing! This is what I want to hear! A bit of the old sound, incorporated with the new sound. How cool is this set? I have really enjoyed it. Even the cheesy 'Like A Prayer' sounds appealing to me. I fully understand the positive comments after the event. People seemed to loved it. And if I was there, I would have let myself go completely! This is my guilty pleasure. I would sing these anthems out loud (probably be the loudest thing you would ever see), and stomp my feet until they would bleed. 'I need a miraaaaclllleeeee'. Bloody hell, what a wicked set! Best record? Oh, not that easy. But I think 'Sunrise' is the best for me. But followed up are 'Can't Get Enough', 'Away', and 'All I Wanna Do'. A wonderful set. Can't find a single negative thing. Put on your cheesy glasses, and rave away. This set put a smile on my face for 50 minutes, and after the set I will still keep on smiling.

The last couple of months have all been focussed around Al Storm. Be it his label or his CD compilations, he's been a very active man. You might have seen the review, in which the whole back catalogue of 24/7 Hardcore was discussed (read it here), and now we've got a new album! The fifth instalment of 'Dark Shadows', presented by Al Storm, released via Hardcore Underground. Digital downloads were unlocked on the 12th of October. And if you have ordered the CD, they were shipped in the week of 22nd of October. So you might be lucky and have a brand spanking new CD in your collection. So what do you get? Scary records? Check! Good UK Hardcore music? Check. But what do you exactly get? Well, let me elaborate on that: three discs. On those three discs the first two are unmixed. Full length records is a must, and you do get them. And the third disc is mixed by the legend himself: Al Storm. You also get a digital version of this CD if you purchase the physical copy, and of course you get them immediately after the release date. You are wondering who's on this album? Well, not just Al Storm, but a whole lot of guest appearances by artists such as Tamerax, Riko, Skinny, Darwin, Re-Con, Euphony, Finnbarr, Ganah, Jonny El, Spyro, and more. Maybe it's a bit handy if I show you the tracklist, eh? CD 1 - Full Length Tracks 01. Al Storm - Eraserhead 02. Re-Con - Fiji 03. Frankenswine - Whole World Shaking 04. Spyro - Johnny! 05.

With this latest release he shows us again that he's an unstoppable force. And also that the last couple of months have been very good to Al Storm. I don't know where the fascination came from,that he releases his 'Dark Shadows' CD series around Halloween. It's always been a thing that he likes. All of these records on this fifth instalment are kind of dark. Maybe in the future we can see a Christmas album, an Easter album, or maybe another festive holiday album? You might never know with uncle Storm. I like this compilation, because it not only gives Al the stage, but also upcoming and well known names. It's a mix, really, of artists. And the result is a wide variety of UK Hardcore records. Some kind of expected, and some really unique and diverse. But all have this darkness as a theme. And I'm loving it. But is this compilation worth it? Is it worth spending your £15 on a physical copy? The answer is yes. If you like full length tracks (because you DJ and you need good music) or you are a fan of long mixes, Al Storm has got you covered. As I mentioned before, I do love the diversity. It's unique. Fresh. There are simply too fucking many records to choose. The choice is really yours. But if I had to pick, I had to pick the most obscure record on this CD: Finnbarr's 'Killer'. This is a serious record. You might not understand it yet, but when you do fully grasp the reason why Finnbarr made this, you will see it's a monster anthem. Another wicked compilation. Al Storm can be extremely proud of not only 24/7's back catalogue, but also this compilation. He has set the bar way up high. And he's alone in this venture: I do not know a single artist who makes an album, dedicated to the darkest period of the year (besides Christmas, but that's a different kind of darkness). Another succesful release. Will Al Storm ever stop? Judging on his latest releases, he will never. And we should be grateful for that! Get your copy right now!

Sometimes you just want to hear one artist. Just one. No music from others. Several times throughout each year I've got a Noize Suppressor moment. And yesterday was such a day. I had to listen to Noize Suppressor. How come, you might ask? Well, I went into my Hardcore folder and started to play random records. And a few of them were Noize Suppressor songs. Which made me happy again. This dark kick/bass magician has always been one of my favourite producers. I found a mix on Soundcloud, a dedication mix by D-Element, made last year. And by the looks of it, it's a good 'un. An hour long mix, with 40 records made by Noize Suppressor (and friends, like Mad Dog, Angerfist, Lenny Dee, Satronica, Mouth Of Madness, Rob Gee and more). And for me that's exactly what I was after. Could have picked a set from the legend himself, but I reckon I have listened to nearly all of his sets on Soundcloud already. And this is a fresh new approach to Noize Suppressor. He deserves a dedication/appreciation mix. But is it any good? Is it enjoyable? We will find out! 01. Noize Suppressor - Who Is Elvis Brown? 02.

So many Noize Suppressor's in one mix, is that a good thing or a bad thing? If you love his music, there's no denying in the fact that it's ALWAYS a good thing to hear Noize Suppressor. If you disagree and do not appreciate it, what are you still doing on my website? Why are you still reading this? I do admire Noize Suppressor. On top of his game for many years. I don't know when it actually was, which year it was I got introduced into his music. But in D-Element's mix it does contain the records which got me into his music. 'Fingherz', 'Bone Crusher' (obviously one of his biggest records from the early days). 'Pain Killer', ' Bike's Drum'. I don't know which was the first record I heard, but I suggest that it was 'Bone Crusher'. Whatever it was, it has stayed with me (his music) and I've been a fan ever since. Am I a fan of this appreciation mix? Hell yeah! D-Elements has made a wonderful and exciting mix. The records he picked are ALL wicked. Some are even better than others. But in all fairness, the underlaying beat and bass is recognisably Noize Suppressor, and for me that's the thing that attracks me to his music. I can't point out a weakness. Only point out my favourite record. Which is ' Masters Of War '. Good and bad memories I've got when I hear this anthem. A good car record (if you've got good speakers), one nearly deadly record I actually listened to when it resulted in a car accident. Well, if I go, at least I go with banging music. Give this mix a go. I have, and it didn't disappoint me.

Whenever Jason S uploads a new mix, I am always a bit anxious. Not really happy regarding the tracklist, because it would mean that I'd have to type the whole bloody thing. Music-wise it's always a blessing. And only a few days ago, via Thunderdome's Facebook page, the world got the second instalment of the legendary Thunderdome megamix. The previous one was uploaded 4 months ago and got positive feedback, from true Hardcore fans and yours truly (TCD). The first mix contained records from Thunderdome 1 to 10, and now it's the follow up mix, with records from 11 to 20. So expect some fucking madness. According to Mixcloud it's the second of four. So there are more mixes coming. And one is expected to be recorded live at Thunderdome - Die Hard Day III (which has already been sold out). It's like us gabbers can't get enough of Hardcore, and especially the majestic brand that is Thunderdome. The legendary wizard has been dominating our lives since the early 90s, and to this day it has a humongous following. And I'm one of them. Since we got our first taste of Thunderdome, the love for the wizard and the label has not died down. Yes, maybe around 1999 it lacked a bit of enthusiasm, and got destroyed by the media, but deep down inside Thunderdome has meant the most. And when it comes to the music, it has always been an established name, a safe haven for us. You knew that whenever a new Thunderdome was released, that it would be good (with a few exceptions). It's been not just in our lives for so long, but in our hearts. And with this megamix Jason S shows us yet again that he's a megamix professional. He knows damn well how to produce one. And the actual video on Facebook (I would suggest you watch it, click here) already got 113 thousand likes. So that's a fucking epic achievement! Something to be proud of! 01.

Well, I found a little mistake between track 8 and 10. There's no track 9. Ah hell, who actually gives a shiny shite about it, eh? As I said before, Thunderdome has given us many good records. Which resulted in memorable moments in our lives. There's always a link between a gabber and Thunderdome. You might not have liked their direction, or something about them, but there's always a link going on. Be it the events, the merchandise, the compilations, or whatever. And Jason's mix contains anthems so good, it makes you feel sad. The time has flown by, and this kind of Hardcore will never be produced again. It just sounds different. He has done a marvellous job. He knows a thing or two about megamixes, and he has delivered yet another astonishing mix. Sad that he starts with the most overrated anthem ever (never really liked 'Flesh Is The Fever', so dreary). But after that the awesome records come flying at you. Which record was my favourite? Well,it's like asking who your favourite kid is, if you've got more than one. It's just too damn hard. But I'll say it. 'Evil' by Neophyte. I loved the darkness of it. Neophyte has made some so-and-so records, some so stupid and some so good, but this one has to be their best. Thunderdome and Jason S. A good combination. And the result? A motherfucking wicked mix!

If you have not seen anything Kniteforce on social media lately, you are missing out on a lot. One of the biggest (or the biggest) Breakbeat Hardcore labels in the world is moving into new territory: expansion. With a lot of new music being released (this includes albums), they are slowly making sure that people are getting on the Breakbeat Hardcore-train. We should all come aboard, and see where the journey is taking us. It's not a label that just solely focusses on the successes they had in the past, but they look towards the future. What they give young upcoming producers is a stage. New names taking the plunge into Breakbeat Hardcore, and releases their take on this already rich genre. It might not get the true recognition it deserves, but Kniteforce is doing their best to make sure that those willing to listen to it, to give them the ride of their lives. DJ A.K., whos name has appeared on our website before, has made a wonderful mix, containing records from Kniteforce's latest CD ' The Triple Threat ', and also a few other releases from the label. And even though the tracks are all new to me, I still felt excited when I pressed play for the first time. 01. Luna-C & Lowercase - Dumpling Business (Ponder Remix) 02. Demcore - Believe (Ant To Be Remix) 03. Disrupta & Sonic Fixation - The Feeling 04. TNO Project - Start Lovin (Shadowplay Remix) 05. Bucksta - Neon Lights 06. Sublove - One By One (Paul Bradley Remix) 07. Shoreman - Deep Waters 08. Doughboy - Rock Deh Riddum (DJ Ham Remix) 09. Clayfighter - Into My Eyes (TNO Project Remix) 10. Shoreman - Still Lonely 11. Gothika Shade - Enter The Dancehall (Jedi Remix) 12. Alk-e-d - Selecta (Ponder Remix) 13. DJ Brisk - Airhead (Sanxion Remix) 14. Alk-e-d - Home (Darwin Remix) 15.

DJ Psycangle - Smile Fuck Up (Eufeion Remix) I can say in all honesty that I started listening to this mix with a smile, and when the mix ended, I still had that same smile on my face. I couldn't stop laughing. I was really enjoying the tunes coming towards me. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the power of excellent music! DJ A.K. does know what to do, and he has made this very interesting mix, containing blinding records. They are so hot: they will melt the second you touch them. So good to hear new music, be it a brand new record, or an oldskool classic being remixed. No matter what it is, it's entertainment. And Kniteforce has got the power to get you moving. You won't be able to sit still for a split second, trust me. The records, well, what can I say about them. It's amazing! Each and every record. DJ A.K. already mentioned underneath his mix that the label is releasing some of the best new Hardcore he has heard in years, and there's no denying in that fact! Kniteforce is really giving us Breakbeat Hardcore like never before. And so damn good! Each record has got the power to get crowds moving, and in this hour and a half long mix I had difficulties sitting still. The music is just so powerful, and so good. This 'new' generation of producers will take Breakbeat to the next level, and still keeping it true to its roots. And I think that's the focus behind Kniteforce. A wonderful mix. Can't point out anything negative, I'm still in my happy mode. Still smiling, remember? DJ: A.K. Genre/Style: Breakbeat Hardcore.

The weekend is nearly at its end, but we can still cram in some good music. We still have to sit through a long and boring Sunday. The majority of people just sit behind the box, watch Del Boy, or just fall asleep. Why not trade this boring thing in for something much better? Time to get off the couch, and turn up the volume on your phone/PC/portable speakers, and time to start raving. Melvje has made a new Rawstyle mix, and it's a good 'un. This is not for the faint hearted people. This is Raw, hence the title. This is not for those who can not handle the dirty beats, low basses, and rather obnoxious melodies. Only those who can manage are able to listen to it. And if you are one of them, do not read the rest of the review, but just go immediately to the Soundcloud player underneath the review and press play. Added bonus: it's downloadable! Melvje knows how to make interesting mixes, and with this one he decided to make a 70 minute long mix, and crammed in 40 records. So no messing about: we dive straight into the tracklist. 01. Digital Punk & Adaro - Whiplashed (Killshot Remix) 02. Fraw - Die Welt 03. GRAVEDGR - RAMPAGE (Caine Remix) 04. Anderex - Gucci Bag 05. Magnificent - Where's The Party 06. Mike NRG - Lost In Dreams (Q-BASE 2018 The Purge Remix) 07. Dynoro & Gigi D'Agostino - In My Mind (Adaro & The Machine Bootleg) 08. Crypsis - The E 09. Exproz - King 10. Expulze - Anima 11. Mutilator - Stand Up 12. Dyro feat Le Prince - Surrenda (Aversion Remix) 13. Krowdexx - Moshpit 14. Radical Redemption - Child Of God 15. Radical Redemption - Satan's Play 16. Radical Redemption - The Darkest Moment 17. Killshot & Ncrypta - Uppercut 18. Sasha F - Back In The Game 19. Upriser - MF Cops 20. Sins Of Insanity & Adventum - Say I Am 21. Cynical - This Is America 22. Cryex & JACKO - MF 23. Warface & The Geminizers - Path To Extinction (NRK Edit) 24. Tiesto & Sevenn - BOOM (The Stralkerz Bootleg) 25. Mind Dimension - Devils Trick 26. Mind Dimesnion & The Purge - Roll Up 27. Act Of Rage - Grown Up 28. Krowdexx & Unkind - Get Us Respected 29. Darren Styles - Switch (Melvje Mashup) 30. Destin - The Beast 31. Rooler & eDub - Fury Domination (Zions Mash Up 2018) 32. Dither - Look Alive 33. Angerfist - The Desecrated (Radical Redemption Remix) 34. I AM LEGION - Choosing For You (Mistortion Bootleg) 35. Digital Punk - Sense In Violence 36. Deadly Guns & E-Force - Invincible 37. I:Gor - Heavyweight (Mind Compressor Edit) 38. Escuro - HTTR 39. DEEZL - Glitch 40. Krowdexx - Burn It Down Half of this tracklist looks amazing, the other half not yet. And that's only because I have not heard these records before, and never heard of the artist. I do apologise, but I'm not a walking musical encyclopedia. I try, but I always fail become one. During the 70 minutes Melvje keeps us entertained with a serious dose of Rawstyle. There's no shortage of Rawstyle. And if you dig this mix, you could appreciate the previous 9 instalments of this mix series. For now let's focus on this mix, shall we? So many filthy anthems. From the well respected artists such as Dither, Rooler, Krowdexx, Radical Redemption and more, but Melvje also included unknown artists (to me). This blended mix is really interesting, and does not become boring once. The best record is 'King'. Pure and unadulterated Rawstyle. Pure filth. For a split second I felt like I was the actual King of the Apocalypse. What a beast of a record! A brilliant mix. Check it out right now. What else should you do on a Sunday? Relax? Nah, that's for boring people.

When you think of Jumpstyle, you think of many things. Stupid kids on TMF trying to impress absolutely no-one, or ridicilous artists just making music to get some money out of it. But for me it's a completely different story: I do love the early Jumpstyle sound. Not the cheesy Top40 records, but the proper ones (you know the records). And nowadays when I hear the word 'Jumpstyle', I immediately think of the legend that is Pat B. Come on, name another DJ/producer who is still pushing Jumpstyle forward as he is doing. Name one. Pat B is a very busy bee. Maybe that's what the B in his DJ name stands for. Pat Busy? Anyway, you go on his Soundcloud page, and nearly every week you find something new and refreshing. He's even done a mix containing his worst records! Now name me one who has done the same! Pat B is unique, and just what the dance scene needs. And you have probably seen the image above the review, so you know he has uploaded yet another amazing mix. This time we go back to 2005, one of the golden years of Jumpstyle. Before you get all angry and start to troll me, don't worry: he also made a 2004 mix, which you can get on his Soundcloud page too. What are you still doing here? Start streaming the shit out of these mixes. And bookmark his page. You must. Unless you dislike Jumpstyle. But I don't consider someone who dislikes it to read this review.... 01.

Apshai - Transe Mutation (Goodnight Ravers) Will you look at that! That's beautiful! This has made me look up my Jumpstyle collection, and see if the discs are still playable, which I highly doubt (too many scratches). But if none of the CDs work, I've still got Pat's Soundcloud page, And on it is hours of fun. It's pornography, that's what it is. 2005 was a good year. Can't believe it's 13 years ago. And these anthems did rule the scene. I LOVED each and every compilation, even those compilation for the car tuners (which I was at the time, and my speakers/subwoofers did like Jumpstyle). This is a trip to memory lane, and I'm happy that I took the plunge on this mix. But truth be told, Pat never disappoints. Never. One record stood out from the rest: 'You Eternal'. I think it was on one of the Decibel CDs from 2005, and I fell in love from the first time I heard it. And still, 13 years later, it's a solid classic. And also ending this mix slightly harder is just what I needed. A bit of Hardstyle can't do you any harm! Another rock solid mix. And for those haters, this should prove that 13 years later people still appreciate Jumpstyle. It might cross over nowadays into Freestyle, but it's still alive and kicking. And the damage done during the early noughties, that did not last. Jumpstyle is here to stay, eternally. Fact. Thanks Pat B for yet another amazing mix. DJ: Pat B Genre/Style: Jumpstyle.

Ah, another mix which will make people sad. Not for the music, but because of the fact that this label is all in the past. According to Discogs their last release was back in 2012. Bloody 6 years ago, can't believe it. It's surreal. This label, run by Squad-E and Re-Con, had some serious UK Hardcore bangers in it. It's a shame that it faded away. And whilst talking about fading away, I have not heard anything from Squad-E or Re-Con in a while. Could anyone inform me if they still make music? The man behind this mix is Eufeion. His new concept mix series will be an interesting one to follow. It's called ' In 2 The Mix'. And it's a monthly mix, and you can expect literally everything, from 90's Old Skool, Millennium UK Hardcore, present day UK Hardcore, best of label showcases, best of artists showcases etc. And for his first mix he decided to do a tribute mix for Twista Records. They had some serious dancefloor slammers during their short period, and once you see the tracklist, you will know that Eufeion's mix is a good 'un. 01. Re-Con & Klubfiller - Phantom 7 02. Darous - Since You've Been Gone (Klubfiller Remix) 03. Re-Con & Squad-E - Can't Buy My Love 04. Re-Con & Unknown - Please Tell Me 05. Mix Factory - Take Me Away (Re-Con Remix) 06. Warp Brothers vs Aquagen - Phat Bass (Re-Con Remix) 07. Re-Con & Unknown - The Grudge 08. Cascada - Evacuate The Dancefloor (Re-Con Remix) 09. Breeze & Squad-E feat Justine - Another Smile 10. Manian - Hold Me Tonight (Re-Con Remix) 11. Rezonance Q - Sweetheart (Squad-E Remix) 12. Dave McCullen - Rave Heaven (Squad-E Remix) Eufeion has done a good job, with this first mix he will surely get a lot of attention for his mix series. I know other DJs who do mixes like it too, but not monthly. Can't wait to hear more 'dedication' mixes, especially ones similar to this mix: label focussed mixes. We tend to see a lot of 'artist' dedication mixes, but I think labels should also get the same credit: it's the labels that gave us hours of fun. He starts the mix off strong. The first record is immediately causing havoc. What an anthem. Forgot about this one (and also a few others). The trend goes on after track one. 46 minutes of Twista Records heaven, And also the record with probably the highest voice in UK Hardcore history: 'Can't Buy My Love'. Come on, be honest, all of us men, we have all tried to sing it, and never were able to reach the high note, right? A good composed mix with really good anthems. The best one for me is 'Hold Me Tonight'. Just love the vocals. Just love it. 'Phantom 7' closely follows. This is a mix series you need to follow. It's going to be awesome. And when TCD says it, you know it makes sense. And another added bonus feature: it's a free download!!! So what are you waiting for?

A regular name, Pearsall. It's not the first time I've seen his name on Soundcloud, and I am 100% certain it won't be the last time today. He's been pushing music on his Soundcloud page forward, and has received amazing feedback regarding his biggest mix, the Carl Cox dedication mix. But Pearsall has got so much more to offer. And with his latest mix he went New Old Skool, whatever that might be. Truth be told, today I was in an oldskool mood. I didn't want to hear anything new or fresh. But after discovering this mix, I realised that I could have both. New and old. His mix contains 22 tracks which are futuristic Breakbeat Rave anthems. And they are dope. And when TCD says they are dope, he means it. The whole tracklist is a mind blowing one: don't know a single artist. And I wonder how Pearsall retrieves all these anthems on LP. Yes, you have read it, this is a 100% vinyl mix. No CDs or USB sticks, the big black round discs and two needles (and of course more equipment), what else do you need? It's going to be a very good hour and 15 minutes for you. For once you should trust me. And if you are into modern Breakbeat Rave music, this is right up your street! 01.

This fearsome mix has the power to demolish the last few braincells you have got left. I had already started listening to it on the way back from work (dreadful M25, stuck for 1 1/2 hours), and the bass got so low, I had to open a window. I was too damn scared that the bass would demolish the windows. Pearsall has made yet another amazing mix. Yes, his Carl Cox mix was undoubtfully a magestic mix, but don't underestimate his strength. This mix is as good, or even better! I love to find mixes containing styles and genres I don't hear often. And this is one of those mixes. And it has made me extremely happy. As I said before I'm not familiar with the artists, but what they have made/released are serious stompers. I wouldn't even try to be near a speaker at a rave, in case it might explode. This music is seriously insane. And I'm digging it a lot. Can't find anything wrong. Another flawless mix by Pearsall. Check it out, and share it.

If you have been online the last couple of weeks, you might have noticed a competition going on. Scarred Digital had this wonderful competition going on for up and coming DJs, to make the best mix, and they could win something. Seeing as I'm not up or coming, or a DJ, I wasn't really into it. Don't actually know what the price is. A signed poster of Sc@r? I don't know. Anyway, many have participated, and I read that 8 people won, including the one whos mix I'm about to mention. Myself helped Scarred Digital and Future State out many years ago with a competition. I was one of the judges, alongside DJ Unknown and MC Whizzkid (if I am correct). It was the hardest thing to do, because they were all ace. So to see others going to the struggle was nice thing to see. Now let's talk about the mix. This mix was made by Kaz :D!, or kazukism92. Heard this name before in shoutouts during UK Hardcore podcasts, but he was kind enough to introduce me to his entry mix. And the best way to do it, is via Facebook. And it worked: I am currently listening to his 'winning' mix. And hopefully you are doing the same. Time for the tracklist, I suggest. 01.

Bananaman & Gisbo feat Nia - Can't Believe You're Mine 04. Al Storm - Party Goin' Down 05. Sc@r - Hardcore Power (SD Remix) 06. Skinny & 3Star - Retro Feelings 07. Transcend & Cyrax - High Skool 08. Transcend & Cyrax - Relentor 09. Daniel Seven - Black Hole 10. Substanced - Oneiroi 11. Sc@r & Douglas - Summer Groove 12. Klubfiller & Sc@r - Klubar 13. Ramos, Mob & Sc@r feat Becci - Find U 14. Klubfiller - Let The Music Play 15. Klubfiller - I Need You 16. Sc@r - Rainbow Killer It was an obvious choice for Kaz to add a lot of Sc@r/Scarred Digital records into this 30 minute long mix, but he also added a few other gems in it,just to keep the Hardcore flowing. I do miss the 'Acid Porn Monkey' though. But instead he has added 'Klubar', a wicked anthem, sadly forgotten about. A quick mix. 16 records in 30 minutes. You need to prove yourself. And Kaz has done it. He has picked records which would destroy your feet on the dancefloor, Some a tad cheesy, but come on, at least it isn't the whole mix! But he kept it interesting. I've really enjoyed this short mix. The length was obviously mandatory for the competition, but I could listen to these kinds of mixes for hours. Sometimes a tad too eager to go to the next track, but still highly enjoyable. Who am I to judge, he bloody won the competition (alongside 7 others). Worth checking out. Not downloadable, but still enjoyable.

Gabberdisco? Gabberdisco? If there are two words which don't mix, it's Gabber and Disco. And truth be told I do not understand this new kind of music. It's weird, it's unusual, and beyond belief. But in a strange way as interesting as Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz' weird take on Hardcore too. But Gabber and Disco? Who would have thought htat? I was notified about this mix by the man himself, DJ Skyline. We've seen a mix in the past, and I think it was a Scott Brown dedication mix. Which is sadly gone forever. But no matter what, we still have this mix to look forward to. A Gabber disco mix. Which still baffles me. I'm not sure if the title really resembles the music, but who am I to judge? DJ Skyline mentioned that there's a Bandcamp page, so I looked it up. According to their page, it is ' an over-the-top approach to Hard Dance music: high energy high speed Hardtek that combines elements and quotes from Dance music and pop culture of the 20th century with the sound and the technical possibilities of today'. Now that's a mouth full, and still doesn't explain really why it's called Gabberdisco, but they also had this to say: 'it's about positive attitude, lots of content, made to put a smile on your face'. Well, that's no word of a lie. Let me see what kind of records DJ Skyline used for this rather unusual mix. 01. Chryzis - Mary Jane In Wonderland 02. The Speed Freak - Synthethether 03. The Speed Freak - Cosmic Gloryhole 04. Stormtrooper - Follow The Trooper 05. Hekteka - Journey Through The 90's 06. Chryzis - Do It 07. The Speed Freak - Abschiss 08. Dat Tuig - Magistrate Manoeuvres 09. Chryzis - Workin' 10. Search And Destroy - Jerk Your Body I thought I did recognise a specific sound! Of course it was The Speed Freak! And also Stormtrooper. The others do not ring a bell. But a distinctive sound was heard throughout this mix, and it sounds familiar. So it's not really new new to me, but the fact that they use elements and quotes from the 20th century, well, that's not new either. But the ones they use, those are quirky. I still don't know what to think of it. It's quirky, and yes, it's unique. It's not really a hundred percent unique to me, but it's just... I don't know. It does pack a lot of energy, and it does make you bounce and move your head. There's no denying in the fact that they put the fun in Hardcore music, or Hard Dance in general. But would this kind of music appropriate for me to rave to for a whole night? Sadly, the answer is no. This is nice for an hour. And that's exactly how long DJ Skyline's mix is. But not longer than that! You just don't know what to expect! It's a rollercoaster ride, but instead of the standard seats in a rollercoaster with the bars coming down on your shoulders, this one doesn't have any bars, and you are holding on for dear life, travelling to the first looping. Scary, yeah. Can't really pick a favourite record. They still baffle me, each and every one. This could turn your boring Sunday morning into something you have not experienced before. Give it a try. It's all about fun. And we all like a bit of fun.

Yesterday was an alright day. It was made alright due to the fact that I spoke to the only two Dutch doctors in the hospital. And you can say whatever you like, but you instantly have a connection with someone who was born in your motherland. So I was in a full-on Dutch mode. After waking up at stupid o'clock today, I turned on the computer, and voila! There was a mix, one of the first, focussed on the Netherlands. Specifically the Dutch language (and also the music). And it made me a bit happier. Or am I happy due to the medication? Whatever it might be, who cares? Zany is a well known name in the Harder scene. He has proven himself over the years to be one of the established names. Hence why they asked him to play at X-Qlusive Holland this year. And as some kind of afterparty he composed this mix, containing ONLY Dutch music (Hollandse kost). And seeing as I was born there and speak the lingo, I knew it was going to make me laugh out loud. If you are not a Dutch speaking person, you don't have a clue why boerenkool or Ome Henk are funny. If you can find a mix more Dutch than this one, good luck. Not really music to get me raving for hours on end, more like appreciated during the Dutch carnival season. But today I wanted to feel my connection with my motherland again, so here we go. The tracklist is already on its own funny as fuck. 00. Intro 01. Bee-Front & Sjaak van het Geluid - Daar Komt De Politie Aan 02. Zany & DV8 feat De Alpenzusjes - Dak Eraf! 03. Coone & Hard Driver - Showtime (XQ Holland Edit) 04. Kav Verhouzer & Sjaak - Stap Voor Stap (Frequencerz Remix) 05. Showtek - FTS (Jason Payne 'Houdt Nog Steeds Van Boerenkool' Edit) 06. ZaZaFront - Ik Ben Jouw Vriend 07. Primeshock - Op De Camping 08. Rob Ronalds - Kleine Blonde Mariandel (Altijd Larstig & Rob Gas D'r Op Edit) 09. Ransom - Fistpumpin' (X-Qlusive Holland XXL Edit) 10. Hetty Blok, Leen Jongewaard - M'n Opa (Dr. Rude X-Qlusive Holland Edit) 11. New Kids feat Corry Konings & Ronnie - Hoeren Neuken, Nooit Meer Werken (Psyko Punkz X-Clusive Holland Edit) 12. Def Rhymz - Ik Will Alleen Maar Billen Zien (Bass Chaserz XQ Edit) 13. Primeshock - Target Training (XQ Holland Nederland In Beweging Edit) 14. ZaZaFront - In Mijn Huis 15. Andre Hazes Jr. - Leef (Dr. Rude & Ransom X-Qlusive Holland Remix) 16. Het Feestteam - Malle Babbe (Bass Chaserz Remix) 17. Tatanka - Afrika (Primeshock's XQ Holland K3 Edit) 18. Coone - Jack Who (XQ Holland Edit) 19. Lawine Boys - Joost (Demi Kanon X-Qlusive Holland Edit) 20. Parla et Pardoux - Liberte (Zany Remix) 21. Blof - Harder Dan Ik Hebben Kan (Jason Payne Bloft 'M Harder Te Maken Edit) 22. Dr. Peacock & Partyraiser - Trip To Holland The cheese factor has gone through the roof. And I chuckled several times through this mix. It's so funny to hear these records. In London, there aren't many who are Dutch, and listen to Dutch Hard style music. I reckon when I listen to this in the car with the windows down, people will give me a look, and wonder what kind of weird music it is. Some records are serious. And some are just funny. But the general gist is that the people listening to this, or went to X-Qlusive should just have fun. Not bothered about the world outside. We Dutch people do like to party (some might agree that we are the originators of partying), and this kind of music does get the people going, old or young. Not limited to one type of person. And it's funny. It's Hard style music, but I think the majority of people would type this mix as Freestyle. Play everything you want, as long as you are having fun. And even though the lyrics or the vocals might be absolutely bonkers to the core, the general gist is that once the beat and basses kick in, we all start dancing. And Zany's mix does exactly that. My favourite record has got to be 'FTS'. Brilliant take by Jason Payne on this classic and very memorable anthem by Showtek. This is just pure genius, talking about boerenkool. It made me chuckle. Credits to Jason for creating a very brilliant and unusual remix. Don't think I have ever heard anything like this before. Yes, as I said before, the cheese factor is high. And normally I'm not bothered about this, but today it seemed appropriate for me to listen to this. And today I really enjoyed Zany's mix. So should you. Download this bad boy, and rave through the weekend. And if you are not Dutch or do not understand the Dutch lingo, make sure you follow an online course. You will get the hang of it.

First of all, I am not a fan of Arps anymore. And you will know in just a second. But let me first explain why today should have been a great day for me: due to health issues I have not been out for a while, and the rave culture is one I'm missing. But big raves weren't my cup of tea yet, I wanted to start 'small', and guess what? Today would have been the day I would go out after a few years, to the big HU vs H.A.S. party. But I can't go. Had to sit in the hospital today for 7 hours, and I am recovering now. So, guess what happened next? I got tagged in a post on Facebook. A mix for the ravers. Mainly to those who are going out tonight to Milton Keynes. Yep, I am not a fan anymore. And before you all think I'm having a go at hime: please. It's my sense of humour. Of course I'm sad that I'm not there: the line-up was and still is ridiculous, but there's still enough time for me to go out. Health should be fixed first. And he promised me a drink, so I'll have to go out. Anyway, it's rave day for many. I envy those going. But from the bottom of my heart: I hope you have a fucking ace time! Drink one on me. Have fun. And listen to the tunes from the golden age of UK Hardcore (or Happy Hardcore, as they rather prefer to call it). What Arps has done, is go through his collection, and what he found were these excellent records: 01. Ponder & Wizbit - New Zealand Story (CLSM Remix) 02. UFO & Marley - Connections 03. Sy & Unknown - Techno Harmony 2003 04. Ajaay vs Chaos - Let Me Be Your Fantasy 05. DFX & Darwin - At Last 06. Re-Con & Squad-E - 1000 Kisses 07. Robbie Long & Stormtrooper - Dopest DJ 08. Eclipse - Before Tomorrow (Breeze & Styles Remix) 09. Paradise - See The Light (Gammer Remix) 10. Sy & Unknown feat Lou Lou - Be With You 11. Breeze & Styles - Come With Me (Petruccio & Modulate Remix) 12. Al Storm feat Amy - Surrender 13. Frisky & Hujib - Partycrasher 14. Brisk & Ham - Angel Eyes 15. Frisky & Hujib - Get Away (Gammer Remix) 16. DJ's United - My Own (Darwin Remix) 17. Al Storm & Euphony feat Daniella - Turn Around (Ravery Baby Mix) 18. Brisk & Ham feat Whizzkid - Crazy Love 19. Heaven 7 vs Al Storm - Dance With Me (Remix) 20. Hixxy & Re-Con - Power Of Love 21. Inverse & Orbit1 - New Sensation 22. Vagabond feat MC Wotsee - True Awareness I can say whatever I can about Arps, but what I also have to admit is that he made a fucking excellent mix, containing so many amazing anthems from the golden years. He's probably out raving by the time he reads this. I hope he and others are having fun. I'll be there in spirit. And if this is the kind of music they are hearing, I am jealous. But I will go to the last H.A.S. event next year, I have to. Just to catch a glimpse of the golden years of UK Hardcore. I've never been to a UK Hardcore when it became huge. I joined too late. Yep, without a doubt one of the sexiest looking tracklists of 2018. These are the records I have played over and over, and actually these were the records that got me interested in this style. Arps' selection is immense. And if you do not understand that, you are probably too young to know your classics. So many beautiful records in an hour long mix. I give this DJ all the credit for composing this excellent mix. There are a few absolutely amazing dancefloor smashers which still destroy speakers all over the UK nowadays, like 'See The Light', 'Power Of Love', 'Angel Eyes', '1000 Kisses'. And it was a struggle, picking one favourite. My favourite? It was a struggle, but 'Before Tomorrow'. 'Be With You' was also considered to get the first place, or the vocal bit of 'See The Light', 'Get Away'... well, you catch my drift. A wonderful mix. A few tiny errors. But HIGHLY enjoyable. Press play if you are getting ready to go to Milton Keynes tonight. This will certainly get you in the mood!

It was only 5 days ago that I last reviewed a mix by the people behind the legendary Soundcloud channel 'History Of Happy Hardcore'. Well, I've got something special for you all, and it isn't Happy Hardcore! Yeah, that came as a shock, didn't it? I didn't see that one coming at all, but it amazed me from the first time I heard this mix. I think I've only ever seen Happy Hardcore mixes on their channel, but it turns out they have got more to offer. And boy, this Trance mix I'm about to introduce you to, is beyond belief! A huge Trance fan since day one, and really stuck to it ever since. The late 90s/early 00s were so huge for music: the development of newer styles and genres. We've seen it all, and the majority have stuck with us, like Trance. But there's something magical about it. It captures your mood and changes it completely. It always makes you happy. Maybe a tad emotional, but still always happy. As the title of this mix implies, they have selected a wonderful selection of awesome records. And boy, have I not heard these in a while! There's also a darker side to one of the records in this mix: it's one I want to have played at my funeral. It's that powerful. It's that beautiful. But we'll talk about it later (hint: it's my favourite record in this mix already). 01. Control Freaks - Subspace Interference 02. Free State - Different Ways 03. DJ Tom Stevens vs Koma Squad - Outface 2000 (Lac Terra Remixxx) 04. The Generator - Where Are You Now? (Moonman Remix) 05. Armin van Buuren - Communication (Original 12" Mix) 06. Dutch Force - Deadline 07. Yves Deruyter - Factor Y 08. Cosmic Gate - Exploration Of Space 09. Push - Universal Nation 10. Marco V - Simulated 11. Accadia - Into The Dawn (James Holden Remix) 12. Minimalistix - Close Cover (The Piano Track) 13. Lightforce - Join Me (Club Mix) 14. Push - Strange World (2000 Remake) 15. PPK - ResuRection (Space Club Mix) 16. Gouryella - Tenshi 17. Vincent De Moor - Fly Away (Original 12" Instrumental) 18. OceanLab - Satellite (Original Above & Beyond Mix) 19. Yahel - Devotion (Armin van Buuren Mix) 20. Moonman - Galaxia I don't know how he found all of these gems, but his selection is quite awesome. And it has blown me into a billion pieces. What a powerful selection. And it bloody turns out that this is the fifth instalment! They've made other mixes, focussed on Trance. You know what that means? Instead of Pornhub I'm going to enjoy myself this weekend, with a lot of tissues and hours of fun. It still baffles me that these Trance records aren't played as much as they should. The quality of these records... it's just astonishing. They have stood the test of time, and they will remain classics long after we've left this earth. They were made by legendary names, who knew what they wanted to do with Trance. Depending on the artist, Trance music nowadays can be a disgrace. EDM Trance is no Trance. What History Of Happy Hardcore has selected, now that's Trance. My favourite record is 'Close Cover' by Minimalistix. This quite 'simplistic' record is all I need to enter a heavenly atmosphere. It's called the paino track for a good reason. I can picture this record to be considered one of the biggest underrated Trance records of all time. It deserves more credit, more airtime. And no shoddy remakes, just the original will do. And no radio edits. This is Trance in its purest form. And by God, I can shed a tear when I hear this. So damn good. But let's not underestimate 'Strange World' and ' Universal Nation'. Probably the top 2 records of all time. A fans favourite. These records are really the biggest records ever produced. If you somehow disagree, you can. But you know you are wrong. Can't find anything wrong with this. Credits to History Of Happy Hardcore for making this mix. Maybe time to set up a second account for Trance music? I will check out the other mixes too, and if they are as great as this one, eargasms all the way! Oh, and by the way: during those golden years, Trance did RULE THE WORLD.

Today I've been in mellow mood. Don't ask me why, but I was. And not for one second did I hesitate to search for anything else than Acid music. I just had this craving for Acid House music. And the first thing which appeared in my list was a mix done by Posthuman. That name does ring a bell. Seen their name before, and I think I had reviewed one of their mixes before. But can't remember when it was. Anyway, I was happy to find this Acid mix. And don't think it's the old type of Acid music. It's brand spanking new music, obviously with its roots in the late 80s, but still brand spanking new. A fresh take on Acid music. And for this mix they went all out: an hour long mix, containing records I have not heard before. The names do not even ring a bell. Is that bad? Well, as a music lover and reviewer/blogger I should know my music, but sadly this isn't a style I would listen to every day. But I will from now. The tracklist. Well, can't say it's beautiful, don't know any of the artists (besides Posthuman of course). 01. DMX Krew - Bush Baby Bug Eyes 02. Body Jack - Jack Siren Of The Nile 03. Butch - Jack The System 04. Kalla - Slurp Dat 05. Elisa Bee - Mass 06. A Jackin' Phreak - Show Me The Bass (Not 4 Radio Mix) 07. Matt Whitehad - Ouroboros 08. Granary 12 - Mancmania 09. Haider - Fukouttahere 10. Posthuman - Tusk Beats 11. Snuffo - Rage 12. Warlock - Dance And Be Heavy 13. Zodiac Childs - Diviner 14. Fear-E - DX 15. Posthuman - Breaker 16. T&K Crew - Memory Child (Acid Tool Mix) 17. Cursor Miner - Owl Massage Acid 18. Posthuman - Beat Down 19. Cardopusher - Falso Progresso 20. Posthuman - Exit Drums 21. Replicants - Needs Moar Acid This mixtape they've made for People and Places is an hour full of happiness. There's no denying in the fact that House music/Acid House has opened doors for us. Without it developping into such an amazing sound, EDM would not have been big at all. Hell, it might not have existed! On Soundcloud (and of course Discogs and other social media pages) you can find a lot of information about Posthuman and where they play, etc. That's not my job. I'm here to talk about this mix, and I have to tell you: it's a beast. It's a monster. It's a mysterious creature holding you, embracing you, and never letting you go. This mix is so powerful: the hour will fly by and you won't even know it! Normally I would point out the best records and mistakes, but I can't: there aren't any mistakes, and all the records are immensely great. There's nothing wrong with this mix. And that's unbelievable, isn't it? It's so weird to write it down. Every mix has got at least one thing wrong, this one hasn't. An hour of pure Acid heaven. Listen to this mix right now. Close your eyes for a second, and be back in the late 80s.

I've had a dreadful couple of weeks, and there are only a few things making me happy. One of these things is music. Music is the reason I am alive. Because of it,I am who I am. And part of my youth was spent wasting money on Hardcore CDs and mixtapes. And as you probably would have guessed: on a shit day I need something rough and raw. Could have gone with Rawstyle, or Terror, but I wanted to go back to the early 00s. I needed pure Hardcore. This is not the first time I have reviewed a mix by The Millennium Machine. But the old website got destroyed by God knows what, so all of it is lost. But no worries, at least you know your friend TCD knows good music, and when I say to you all to follow Raving Madness on Soundcloud, you know you should actually do what I'm telling you. These Hardcore mixes focussed on the Millennium Hardcore are an absolute bliss. The forgotten age, when Hardcore was developped into this beautiful creature. The 90s were the younger years of this creature, but it became a proper teenager after 2000. And the development led to something great. And The Millennium Machine has made this short but exciting mix, to get us all excited for a long gone era. 01. Menace II Society - Into The Dark 02. DJ Niel & DJ Kristof - The Judgement 03. Ectomorph - Heartbeat (Endymion Remix) 04. Dione - War Against The Machines 05. Rotterdam Terror Corps & The Headbanger - Chaos On The Dancefloor (E-Noid Remix) 06. The Masochist - Chemistry 07. G-Town Madness & The Viper - Here It Comes 08. Neophyte & MC Ruffian - Muil Houwe 09. Enzyme X - Opbokken 10. D'Spyre - 6.48 Minutes To D'Spyre (Meagashira Remix) A good selection of records, it has to be said. I like it that they have selected records which aren't in the playlist of many DJs anymore, but they should. Especially the one which has blown my mind away when I purchased it on actual vinyl. Enzyme X. But let's focus on the whole mix. It's only half an hour long, but it does contain some serious ear damaging records. Like ' Chaos On The Dancefloor' ' Muil Houwe', but the one with the filthiest bass and beats, ' Opbokken', is just so simple, and yet effective enough to give you permanent brain damage. The quirkiest song is ' Chemistry' by the Masochist. Such a happy song. Haven't heard that one in ages too. It does contain cross fading errors, but they are not really that big. Come on people, you know it makes sense. Go follow Raving Madness on Soundcloud and find out these really wicked mixes. 23 other mixes to absorb. Sadly not downloadable. But still highly enjoyable.

Happy Hardcore. Can't go wrong with that, can't you? The weird thing is that abroad, here in the UK, it's still big and well appreciated, but in the Netherlands, one of its birth places, it seems to have died down a lot. It doesn't get the appreciation it deserves. Thankfully I live in the UK now, the birth place of UK Happy Hardcore, the more Jungle focussed Happy Hardcore. And as usual the Soundcloud channel History Of Happy Hardcore has made another amazing 2 hour long mix. I sense a love for everything Happy Hardcore related, and I agree. I do feel the same for it. To hear these classic anthems again is always an added bonus. This kind of music is 100 times better than the crap we hear on the radio nowadays. No love for the music anymore, only love for the hard cash. Back in the 90s the producers were honest. This was a new thing, a new adventure they embarked on. It did cost them a lot to purchase the equipment needed, and many have spent hours in their bedroom producing these anthems, but what they made were timeless classics, if you compare them to the top 40 crap. Whatever is called pop music, will not stand the test of time. Happy Hardcore has, and will be on our minds forever. Let me show you the tracklist of this beauty. A lot of ' unknown artists' . But what you get is a tremendous sounding mix. Hard as fuck, happy as it can get. But oh so darn good. 01. DJ Morph - Let Me Do My Thing 02. Unknown Artist - Good Things EP (A2) 03. DJ Intense - For Real 04. Unknown Artist - Good Things EP (A1) 05. Unknown Artist - Naughty But Nice II (B) 06. Unknown Artist - Good Things EP (B1) 07. Stu J - Juice 08. Unknown Artist - Good Things EP (B2) 09. Unknown Artist - Naughty But Nice II (A) 10. Unknown Artist - Beasty Peak 11. Joker & Gozzy - Satisfy 12. Trance & Roughcut - Volume 2 (B) 13. Crowd Pleasers - Volume 3 (B) 14. Undercover Elephant - E-Dam 15. Crowd Pleasers - Volume 3 (A) 16. DJ Force & The Evolution - Stampede 17. E-Logic - Get Up 18. Joker & Gozzy - Mindblowin' 19.

DJ Poppy - Yes 25. DJ Pooch - Don't Stop They do deliver, as you would expect. Over the years I have reviewed many of their mixes, and they were always spot on. One of the true-est of Happy Hardcore channels on Soundcloud. And with nearly 10k followers, people are craving for more. And so do I, if truth be told. I've really enjoyed this latest Happy Hardcore mix. Even though I knew not one of these records, as it is clearly stated that these records are 'more underground, overlooked records'. And that is true. But what you do get, even though you don't know the names or never heard these songs before, are breakbeat Hardcore anthems, heavy basslines, stabs and piano bits and bobs from the wonderful year 1995. And I can vouch for that. There were some minor mixing errors, but nothing major . Nothing to mention at all. So let's talk about the best record in this mix. I don't know the track title of who produced it, but the record that starts around 30 minutes. That is a really good anthem. Never heard it before, and would really like to know who made it. That's my favourite record. All in all yet another excellent mix, filled with underrated underground classics. Get the word out, and make sure everyone listens to this mix, and hopefully they will appreciate Happy Hardcore as much as we do.

It's only been a few days ago, when I last heard an Al Storm/24/7 Hardcore mix. Remember the DJ Kore mix? Well, if you haven't, just search for it. Anyway, a few days ago Al Storm posted something on his Facebook page, and it's something people should be looking out for. And I'm not saying it because Al Storm is an artist I do admire, but it's because I know what it all means to the raving society. If you are into UK Hardcore, one of the labels to follow is 24/7 Hardcore. This label has meant a lot to the society, and has been a ground breaking label since the beginning. The man behind it is obviously Al Storm, and the announcement he made a few weeks ago shocked everyone! You can now purchase the whole back catalogue of 24/7 Hardcore and get a few extra bits thrown in as extra, for a £100. And that's a bargain, seeing as you get +/- 280 tracks, which include 30 yet to be released records. So that's a bargain, probably the bargain of the century. Let me point out one thing to you all, before you start moaning! I am not going to type the whole tracklist for all the records, I will be doing it until 7:14am tomorrow. There are simply too many records, but what I might do is just list a few records you can within this package. And it's easy to achieve too! Just go to www.paypal.me/alstorm/100 , click, pay, send hima message, and he will send you a link. Simple as wiping your bottom. Unless you don't have one (a bottom I mean). Here are a few records, and probably the main reason why I purchased this. - Bang! - Shooting Star (Al Storm Remix) - IYF & Nobody feat Roxie - Crystal Clear - Al Storm - Dirtbox (Alex Prospect Mix) - Al Storm feat Malaya - Everytime We Say Goodbye - Al Storm - Madhouse - Bang! - Sailaway (Al Storm & DJ Seduction Remix) - Darwin & Skinny - Trip To Tiltups End - Transcend - Alone In The Dark - Al Storm & Euphony feat Donna Marie - All I Wanna Do (MOB Remix) - Heaven 7 vs Al Storm - Dance With Me (Breakbeat Mix) And I could go on and on, but I simply can't be arsed. I like my fingers and don't want to be in hospital due to an injury caused by typing the whole back catalogue. But let me help you: just CLICK HERE and it will take you to 24/7's Discogs page. I don't need to point out how excellent it is, to find a label to release everything in one go. Yes, it might be a lot of money, but trust me, it's worth every penny. This could be an inspiring thing to purchase, if you are an upcoming DJ! Via this way you get to purchase everything in one go, instead of buying everything separately. And it's one of the leading UK Hardcore labels, pushing Hardcore for many years. It's difficult to listen to this in one go. it will take me days to hear this.(well, technically speaking it's 21 hours, 50 minutes and 53 seconds, but we are all human and do need some sleep). But it's worth it. I've only touched the surface, but what I've seen so far is truly astonishing. Yes, he also added the cheesiest of records, but also slammers most of us have forgotten about. Like ' DJ Demand - Dark & Light (Re-Con Remix) . You've forgotten about that one, didn't ya? Now I didn't. Can't remember which tape I heard it on first, but it always stuck to me, and now I heard it, it made me a happy person. Seeing this coming through makes a raver go loopy. I went insane. But now it all makes sense, and the next few days the neighbours will listen to 24/7 Hardcore. There's a good reason for it: it's a damn good label. And when the Crazy Dutchman says it, he means it. He fucking well believes it. Be warned, this offer will not be available for long. This is a one off. This could be online for weeks, and after that it might be gone. It's all up to Al Storm. Maybe he has a target: once he hits that, it's gone. Like DJ Ham's '100' album. So don't hesitate, and purchase his.

Today I'm in a good mood. I don't know how, but the weather is not a contribution to the happiness. It's raining, it's dreadful to say the least, and yet at days like this one I would like to go back to the Summer, and embrace everything that happened in our sunny Summer. One of the biggest events in the world took place in Belgium, called Tomorrowland. Ever heard of this event? Of course you have, a true electronic dance lover knows about this event. A sell out event, for which many people save up money for it a year in advance. But it's an experience, to say the least. One of the thousands of acts there was Cosmic Gate. One of the world's greatest Trance duos. Playing at the Freedom stage, hosted by ASOT. And what happened during their set? Well, it was expected they would play the finest records in their back catalogue, and the result is an hour of pure bliss. Melodic Trance, with a hint of Techno. What's not to like? And many agreed with me: you can hear the crowd loose it. And when they do, the noises they made can be heard clearly throughout the live recording. Cosmic Gate, they do know how to play a devilishly good set. 01. Cosmic Gate vs Estiva - Come With Me Cubes (Cosmic Gate Mashup) 02. Gabriel & Dresden - The Only Road (Cosmic Gate Remix) 03. Above & Beyond with Richard Bedford - Northern Soul 04. Cosmic Gate & Orjan Nilsen - Fair Game 05. Cosmic Gate & JES - Fall Into You 06. Cosmic Gate - YEAH! 07. Cosmic Gate vs Third Party - Like This Body Of Conflict (Cosmic Gate Mashup) 08. Cosmic Gate - am2pm 09. Gareth Emery feat Evan Henzi - Call To Arms (Cosmic Gate Remix) 10. Cosmic Gate - Exploration Of Space (Third Contact Remix) 11. Cosmic Gate - So Get Up (Alex Di Stefano Remix) 12. Rank1 - L.E.D. There Be Light (Cosmic Gate Remix) During this set Cosmic Gate demolishes many speakers and many brain cells. I have really enjoyed myself during this live recording. I might have been sitting at home being nice and dry, but I still raved my arse off. Cosmic Gate seemed to have re-ignited my passion for Trance music. There are simply too many great anthems to mention selected by this majestic duo. I can not describe the power of each record! I had a difficult task to select my favourite, but closely followed are 'Fall Into You', 'YEAH!', but the best and baddest motherfucking record they have used in their hour long set has got to be their remix of 'L.E.D. There Be Light'. This is a true Trance gem! This takes you to a higher state of conciousness. I have raised my hands way up in the air. I can not describe how I was feeling throughout this set. But what I do have to say is that their set has got to be one of the finest of 2018. Well, judging the amount of livesets I have heard throughout 2018. They just seem to create such a wicked atmosphere, and get the crowd going. This is one of those sets you need to experience before you pass away. Cosmic Gate, true legends, true pioneers, and masterful producers!

Satan. Or The Satan to be precise. The ultimate lord of darkness. I've been seeing a lot on Facebook lately regarding this underworld God, and I have been intrigued from the first moment. Don't know much about him, besides the fact that he's an evil looking guy, and the fact that he has played in several South Park episodes (or was that a different Satan?). Anyway, whoever is behind the scary looking mask, he's an upcoming name in the scene, and only 5 days ago his album teaser was released, and it's nearly touching 10k plays. People are going mad for it. When I heard this mini mix for the first time, it blew me away. The sheer quality and yet darkness to it, I do love that. This mix of Hardcore and Drum and Bass and Industrial Hardcore leads to a unique album. The sheer uniqueness of this album is beyond belief. He goes and does his own thing, which makes him unique. From time to time it might sound rough, but still pleasing. So what can you expect to find on this album? 10 record. Well, nine solo records and one collaboration with Thrasher. And as the Soundcloud info mentions: "Pounding Hardcore Kicks, crushing snares and a ton of audio violent filth..." If that doesn't persuade you, what will? A1: The Satan - Bass Feeling A2: The Satan - Bombs B1: The Satan - You Are Sick B2: The Satan - Cyborg C1: The Satan feat Thrasher - Our Hell C2: The Satan - Black List D1: The Satan - Enemy D2: The Satan - Kicks Up 09. The Satan - My Game (CD & Digital Bonus) 10. The Satan - I Am The Darkness (CD & Digital Bonus) You know an album is going to be good, when the mini mix accompanied for it blows your socks off. And I have been listening to this more than is healthy. The Satan has got a power over me. The Lord of Darkness has risen, and his demonic powers are unlimited. Once you press play, you know there's no stopping it, and you will be intoxicated. As they mentioned on Soundcloud: All hail The Satan. Don't worry to those who are extremely religious. You can still listen to this, without loosing your faith. But it will be a struggle. And it's a struggle I am willing to undergo. Experiencing this type of filth is really my cup of tea. This Hardcore/Industrial Hardcore kind of music has always intrigued me since its early days, and now The Satan has put himself and his music on the map, and his legacy has been stamped into our minds forever. This is a must have album. Especially the way he made these records. Quality over quantity. I am really feeling each record. Even the one with a guitar section in it (normally I dislike that kind of Hardcore, but it seems to work beautifully). The best record in this mix? 'You Are Sick'. That's the one that does the most damage. What a load of filth. And it has actually made me sick. Thanks, Dark Lord. I can't point out any weaknesses or fails. I'm normally not really fussed about albums, but this is one I do need. It will be released on the 9th of November on PRSPCT Recordings, so put it in your diary.

Ophidian is one of those producers/DJs who is highly regarded in the Hardcore scene as one of the finest producers out there. A highly skilled producer, who knows how to make an indepth record. This meaning a record with layers of quality. And he's not one that releases a record every week, so when he does take his time for it, you know it will be a banger. And for that, you know whenever you see something of him online, you know it's going to be epic. For this French event called Dream Nation he was asked to compose a promo mix. Never heard of this event, but that's mainly because I'm not French lol. Never been out in France. But they have gone all the way: expect Techno, Dubstep, Hardcore, Drum and Bass, Psytrance, Hardtechno, and Trance, and 15.000 visitors. Let me just name a few of the names on the line-up: FuntCase, Rusko, Hazard, Hype, Luke Slater, Vini Vici, Angerfist, Mad Dog, Promo, AniMe, Randy, and of course Ophidian. That's a descent and yet diverse line-up, and I like it. The promo mix contains filthy anthems. Wouldn't have expected anything else from this genius. 01. The Blaster - Drop The Bomb 02. The Outside Agency & Ophidian - The Church Of The Silence 03. Ophidian - Only One 04. Igneon System - Break The Rail 05. Ophidian - Dead Air 06. Wavolizer & Miss Hysteria - Fixed 07. Stereotype - Out Of This World 08. Ophidian & Ruffneck - So Many Sacrifices (NeoX Remix) 09. Synapse - L.O.M.P. 10. Ophidian - Running On Empty 11. The Outside Agency & Ophidian - The Return Of The Silence 12. Angerfist & Ophidian - Nothing Is Real 13. Ophidian - Excalibur 14. Ophidian - Crime Passionnel (Miss Hysteria Remix) 15. D-Passion & Ophidian - Distortionation 16. Ophidian - The 909 Track This is pure filth. But in a completely different way. It's heavenly. If you are not into this kind of music, I'm wondering why you are on this website. And if you are not, why not? Ophidian is one of those producers who can mindf*ck you with the quality of the record, and the way he's taking you. One second it's a beautiful and peaceful section, and the next the beats and bass will literally destroy the 4 remaining brain cells. Anyway, this promo mix. For those wondering if you still can purchase tickets, the answer is yes. But it would be useless, seeing as the event already took place in September. No harm in making sure you go and visit the next Dream Nation. Sadly there weren't many comments on Soundcloud, but those who posted a comment all have the same to say: it's a fucking epic mix! When the level of it makes you realise that he's such an underrated producer, and should be on everyone's top 10 favourite producers- list. He does take you on a journey. A raw and rough journey. But he ends the mix with a record which literally blows my mind away: 'The 909 Track'. That's what I meant earlier by saying that one second he's making beautiful and calm bits, and the next the beats and bass come flying at you, and destroys you. My favourite record. A promo mix which has got EVERYTHING right. We need more Ophidian. We do need him more in our lives. If this ain't your cup of tea, go and listen to the TOP40. Only the die-hard Hardcore fans can manage Ophidian. He's a boss. And that's why they asked him to play at Dream Nation.

Back in 2002 ID&T took a risk, which paid off: organising two separate events, one focussed on the ‘lighter’ side of Dance music, and the other to the ‘darker’ side of Dance music, and they called it Sensation White and Sensation Black. The actual event started back in 2000, and has led to multiple versions of it, all over the world, from Europe to Australia, from South America to Asia. But back in 2002 they changed the world completely, and I was there: at Sensation White. Of course I had to make a decision, to go to Black or White, and seeing as my friends back then went to White, I couldn’t go on my own to Black (well, I’ve done such a thing at Mysteryland 1998 Outdoor, but that’s a different kind of story). To this day it’s still the most played CD ever. To me. The amount of scratches make it unbearable to listen to, so I went on the internet today and found both White and Black as a video on Youtube. And I know the productions behind the events have changed, and now there are a lot of pennies thrown at the actual event, but back in 2002 walking into the Amsterdam Arena and it looking like a church (including a choir) made it more special. I am still grateful to this day that I bought the ticket when it was already sold out from a dodgy man, because it turned out to be a legitimate ticket. So many were left outside, but I was inside, raving the night away. So many great DJs performed at this unique event, and when the megamix happened, we were all amazed: what was going to happen was unique to me. No DJ behind the decks, but a well fabricated mix, and everything around it was superb as well: the lights were on spot. And we all danced. Yes we danced. Until we had blisters on our feet. Let me remind you I wasn’t at Sensation Black, but listening to the mix today still gives me goosebumps. ID&T were (and still are) innovators and they’ve put not only their own events on the map, but also the Netherlands. They might organise events all over the world, but the Netherlands is the country where we created these types of events,  and made them bigger, better and bolder. We did it first. The tracklist of the actual CD? Well, it’s on the CD and you can hear the exact tunes in the two Youtube video’s I’ve attached underneath the review. The screaming ravers still give me goosebumps, 15 years later. Sensation Megamix – The White Edition  01. Sensation Intro – Elevator Ride To Heaven 02. DJ Tiesto – Lethal Industry — Marco V – Godd 03. Energy 52 – Café Del Mar 04. Storm – Storm 05. Faithless – Insomnia 06. DJ Astrid – Starfever 07. Brainbug – Nightmare 08. 4 Strings – Take Me Away (Into The Night) — Blaze – To My Beat (AMbassador Remix)  09. Paul van Dyk – For An Angel 10. Push – Universal Nation 11. Rank 1 – Awakening — Marco V – Godd 12. PPK – Resurrection 13. Cygnus X – Superstring (Rank 1 Remix)  14. Svenson & Gielen – Twisted 15. Sensation – The Anthem 2002 (White Edition) 16. Sensation Interlude – Trip To Hell Sensation Megamix – The Black Edition  17. T99 – Anasthasia 18. Mauro Picotto – Pulsar 2002 19. Aztec Mystic – Knight Of The Jaguar 20. Dave Clarke – The Compass 21. Tall Tin Box – God’s Love 22. Joyrider – The Deadline 23. DHS – House Of God 24. Yves DeRuyter – Calling Earth 25. Human Resource – Dominator 26. Derb – Derb 27. Speedy J – Pullover 28. Jorn & Ard – 16 29. X-Filter – Come On 30. Members Of Mayday – 10 In 01 31. Underworld – Born Slippy 32. Cosmic Gate – Fire Wire 33. Cherrymoon Trax – Let There Be House 34. Cosmic Gate – Back To Earth 35. Marco V – Godd 36. Sensation – The Anthem 2002 (Black Edition) 37. Cosmic Gate – The Truth 38. Jones & Stephenson – The First Rebirth 39. Sensation Outro – Black Out This CD came also with a DVD, with the actual event recordings on it, including interviews etc. But the main focus for me was the CD. Oh, how I’ve played this to the max. I can literally dream the whole CD, I know when the crowds are cheering, I know when the music drops, I know which track comes next. What I can tell you straight away is the fact that I went to White, but the Black megamix still holds the most memories for me. How to end a section of your event with two seriously beautiful records, ‘The Truth’ by Cosmic Gate and ‘The First Rebirth’ by Jones & Stephenson. Now that’s the best and only way to show the world how its done. No mucking about. This is how I want to hear at parties. A tremendous build up, classic anthem that stood the test of time, and to play probably the most prolific record in the Hardcore scene: The First Rebirth. Fuck me, this is epic. And the cheering crowds, boy, they love it. This to me is the best live mix CD ever. The crowd cheering and shouting just makes it more special. And especially the recognisable voice of John B. Wells. Everything, and I do mean everything, is in place. If I die, this is what heaven looks like to me. Depending on you being a good or bad person, (if you’ve been good, you go to White, if you’ve been bad, you go Black). I wouldn’t mind going to Black. Fucking epic set. The one who made this megamix is uncredited for, but he/she deserves the utmost respect. This is the best megamix ever. No one, and I mean it, can compete. Best record from the White mix? The actual Sensation White anthem of 2002. The best record of the Black edition? The last 2. Simples. Fucking epic CD. I’ve got it stored on my computer, but I wil go on the look for a new copy, unscratched. I need this so badly. And I wish I could go back to 2002. Those were the days. This is the album you need to listen to before you die. The very best. Or, let me put it this way: the best ever!

As you all know, I've been through a lot the last couple of months, and the journey is hopefully coming to an end next week (Friday to be precise). I have missed out on a lot of things, and one of these things was apparently big news! How did I bloody miss that? Dash Berlin's front man quitting the group, and started his own solo career. Must have been extremely serious to leave such a succesful group, but I'm not here to talk about that. I'm not a gossip website. I'm here to talk about a mix I found earlier today. His first mix as Jeffrey Sutorius (still need to get used to the name), which is a vinyl only mix. And you know me, I do love vinyl. It's just so much nicer, and really not easy to learn (how to mix). Don't know why he decided to go back in time, but it's a good call. No EDM stuff, pure Trance music from the golden era. And boy, he has selected some serious dancefloor anthems, some true bangers! I love these anthems. You can't go wrong with them. And yes, we might have heard them too many times, but still now I can't point anything out which might be wrong with these records. Time for the tracklist.... 01. Madonna - What It Feels Like For A Girl (Above & Beyond 12" Club Mix) 02. Cygnus X - Superstring (Rank1 Remix) 03. Out Of Grace - Anglia (2000 Remix) 04. Svenson & Gielen - Twisted (Original Mix) 05. DJ Tiësto - Flight 643 06. DJ Albert vs Precision - Say Yes (Silent Mix) 07. Paul van Dyk - For An Angel (PvD E-Werk Club Mix) 08. Art Of Trance - Madagascar (Ferry Corsten Remix) 09. Dash Berlin - Never Cry Again (Jorn van Deynhoven Mix) 10. Dash Berlin - Earth Hour 11. Jam & Spoon - Follow Me! The tracklist is a thing of beauty. It really is! So many Trance anthems, granted lifetime membership of the top 10 favourite lists of millions around the world. You can not go wrong with Tiesto's early work, Paul van Dyk, Out Of Grace, or Cygnus X. True pioneers they were. The quality of these anthems can not be copied. It's a style which has changed our lives forever, but music producers have sadly moved away from the early 00s sound, which to me was and still is the greatest and finest sound ever created. A good call for Jeffrey for his first mix. It does sadly contain a few annoying mistakes. Not small ones to ignore, but proper ones. And I would not have expected that from him, with his rich history as a well known DJ. Maybe he needs some more lessons behind the decks. Vinyl can be tricky. But the transition bit, that he needs to improve. From 'Flight 643' to 'Say Yes' was just painful to hear. And it happens more often. Not all throughout the mix it's bad. Don't get me wrong, mayube you like it. But it kind of ruins the quality of the records and the mix itself. All in all a good mix, but not really one you would like to listen to again. He's made better mixes. Maybe his second instalment is an improvement? Best record? 'Superstring'. Sensation baby.

I know what you are thinking: it's Monday, 15:46, and you are writing a review, what's going on TCD? Should you be at work? Well, not today, I've got a day off, and had both the car and myself serviced (that sounds wrong). So now I've got plenty of time to relax, and do the things I love. Which is writing about wicked mixes and livesets, and today I'm writing about Martyna's liveset recorded this year at Fatality. It got uploaded a month ago, but due to a hospital visit I have been unable to write about this set. But now I have found it again, and there's no hiding. I need to share this with you all! Martyna came to my attention a few months ago because of the GPF sharing her mix on social media. And since the first time I heard her mash-up mix I'm hooked. And guess what? She has done it again: a wicked 42 minute long liveset from Fatality, containing 27 records. And she doesn't take any prisoners. She's here to demolish our brain cells. And she has done it extremely well: I'm still sitting here in amazement of her set. So many great anthems, carefully selected and mixed together. Time for you all to appreciate the tracklist! 01. Martyna - Fatality Mashup 02. Rejecta - Followed 03. Rooler - YES! 04. Gunz For Hire feat Nikki Milou - We Will Be Immortal 05. The Prophet & Deepack - Stampuhh!! (The Prophet's Stamp Remix) 06. Ran-D & Alpha2 - The New Shit (Bass Chaserz Remix) 07. Mark With A K & Warface feat Jasmine McGuinness & DV8 Rocks - Radioactive 08. Deetox & Delete - Unstoppable 09. E-Force & Deetox - Rawness (Rebelion Remix) 10. Rooler - Domination 11. Rebelion & Sub Sonik feat LXCPR - Bring It On 12. Caine - Let's Get Pillz (DJ Thera Remix) 13. Unkind - Fckin With The Best 14. Martyna - Supercrazy 15. Delete - VIP 16. Sasha F & Rooler - Number 23 (Rooler's Ground Zero Edit) 17. Neroz - Pinsir 18. D-Sturb & Malice - Drop Em Down 19. Vazard & Delete - Explosions 20. Radical Redemption - America 21. Warface & Delete - Addicted 22. E-Force - Stresstest (Cut Edit) 23. Killshot - Beastmode (Cut Edit) 24. Delete - Take It Back 25. Warface vs Malice & Rooler - Watch Your Back 26. Delete & Chris One - W4RR10R Trick: Delete & Warface - The Baddest 27. GPF & Malice - TBA Wow. Martyna grabs your head and doesn't let go. Fucking hell. This set is really good, and the records selected are really rough, raw, and hard. And that's what I wanted to hear on this majestic Monday. Whilst everyone is working I am enjoying my day off with her set coming through my speakers. And I couldn't give a shiny shite if anyone in my street don't appreciate it: you still have the option to move. Out of Southgate. This is who I am and what I like, so tough. Even though the gist of this mix is that she loves Hard styles, she does it to have a nice melody, and nice vocals. She has obviously added some really rough records, but also balanced them out with nice 'sing a long'songs like 'America', 'Unstoppable', 'Stampuhh!!!', 'We Will Be Immortal' and more. But which of these 27 records is my favourite? 'America'. I have been appreciating this record more and more, and it's one of my favourite records of all time. A true crowd pleaser. And Martyna is also a crowd pleaser. Can't find anything wrong with this set. Press play or download it, do whatever you like. As long as you listen to it.

I am fully aware that the Summer is just about to end. This weekend will give us the last bit of Summer, with temperatures nearly above 20 degrees Celsius. After this the winter jackets are coming out, scarf are mandatory, and maybe gloves (if you feel snazzy enough). And I thought it would be a great thing to just get this last urge for the Summer of 2018. We had a good Summer, we can't complain at all. Some days the weather was ridicilously hot, but we can't complain. You know who else don't complain? b2s and the people behind 'Pussylounge'. This succesfull concept has taken the world by storm, And it's a good concept they created: a carte blanche for the DJs, just play whatever they like, as long as it's hard and bouncy. Hence why it's called 'Freestyle'. Expect everything from Jumpstyle to Hardcore to Hardstyle to Hard House to Bounce. Everything hard. And what they also added was the wicked looking stages, and a lot of pretty women. Every picture of the Pussylounge includes pretty women, like the one above: in nice swim costumes. We won't be seeing them for a few months now, unless you like in the Carribean. To showcase what their Summer would be like (and where you could find them) they made this nice promo mix, containing 40 records, carefully mixed together. And it's Freestyle, so expect the music genres to jump from one to the next. It's Freestyle man, there are no rules or laws. Well, maybe one law: enjoy life, have fun. And if that means playing Andre Hazes in a Freestyle set, or Celine Dion, or whoever, as long as you (the DJ) and the crowd has fun. And I had fun listening to this hour and 22 minute long mix! 01.

Well, at least it's Sunday, and I've got nothing else planned lol. I started listening to this, and immediately I got into a Summer mode, I was feeling the Summer vibes coming through the speakers. I'd imagined myself being at one of their events, in the sun, dancing/raving, whilst the beats and basses came across the field towards my ears, and my eyesight would be dominated by lasers, stroboscopes and beautiful women. Is this a raver's kind of paradise? Wouldn't mind that to be heaven actually. I'm feeling it. I'm in love with it. It makes me move like I've not done before. My head is already moving so rapidly, it feels like it's going to detach. And my feet... well, if I don't have blisters after, I don't know. This is really the best mix to listen to, celebrating the end of the Summer. And also to make us aware of the Pussylounge, and that we should actually go. Thanks health for not letting me go out for the last year or so. Anyway, this mix is dope. It does contain a few very cheesy records. Some I really, really don't feel. Like '#Groeien', and 'It's A Dream'. I know it's Freestyle and even cheesy records are played, but whenever I hear these records, skipping is my first reaction. If I would be at an event, I would visit the loo or the bar. These don't get me going. I can't pick a favourite. Too diffiult. It's Sunday, and it's sunny. Embrace it for now, as long as we can. And press play! You know it makes sense.
