When was this picture taken? Must have been around the late 90s, early 00s, right? He looks so young, and probably unbeknownst to him, would he become the world's biggest DJ in a few years. And would we have known for him to become this DJ who changed scenes, and now plays music so far removed from his original style, we crave for him to make a proper return to the good old days? No one could have predicted DJ Tiesto's rise to fame, and how long he's been at the top of his game.... I do obviously prefer the Millennium Tiesto. Can't beat those glorious years. I even witnessed him at Innercity, before he became this global entity, this superstar DJ with his own event, hit after hit, and even playing at the Olympic Games. Tiesto was certainly important to many of us, and his legacy is what keeps us going, and revisiting the good old days. Luke Thompson's latest mix goes back to the late 90s and goes all the way to 2008. And the set is an appreciation mix, to showcase what was great music from those years, and which records Tiesto would have played. Obviously, my view is, as long as he's happy. But he is missed though. The noughties were great years, and Tiesto (alongside others) was certainly one who lead the way. And that sound, you cannot recreate it. That 00s sound, I miss it. It just sounds so much better, more wholesome. And it's the sound I grew up with, so obviously I have more of a connection with those Trance anthems compared to the current day Trance. Which tracks did Luke select for his appreciation mix? Well, these: Hidden Sound System - I Know Mojado - Naranja (Dimitri Andreas Vission) Substate - Horizon Scott Bond vs Solarstone - 3rd Earth Activa - AirFlow (Mac Zimms Remix) Out Of The Past - Mystery (Fred Baker vs Vincent Gorczak Remix) Estuera - 7 Clouds James Holden - Horizons Phynn - Lucid Tiesto - Adagio For Strings (Fred Baker Remix) Dan Stone - Road Test (Signum Remix) The Freak presents EXO - Above The Clouds (Mark Norman Remix) This is a fantastic tracklist, with some forgotten gems. It makes me happy to relive the golden years, so to hear them again, brings a smile on my face. And the smile only gets bigger and bigger. It turns out, and I've only recently discovered it, I'm a huge fan of Fred Baker! Any tune where Fred Baker was involved in, I love. That sound Fred Baker had, is just so damn great. And of course do I choose both records as my favourite in this mix. ''Mystery'' and ''Adagio For Strings''. Both epic anthems, and have stood the test of time. Luke's mix contains some amazing songs, and the hour and 20 minutes do fly by. You are experiencing the same sounds we heard during the decade in which Tiesto rose to fame. Those anthems really made me feel young again, being excited to hear a Tiesto mix. Hell, it didn't even needed to be a Tiesto mix. Any Trance mix by any Trance DJ from those years would have suited me well. I miss that sound. One mix I will certainly listen to when I'm on holiday, in Malta, next week. I bet you my life this mix will go down well. Sun, sea, snazzy drinks, and this Trance classics mix. What else could you wish for? Well, maybe good food. But as Malta's local delicacy includes rabbit, I'd much rather just skip food.

Borderlands. Wasn't that the name of the film which flopped, which was based on a game? The game itself is great, but the film was horrendous. Not experienced falling asleep twice during a film. It didn't capture my attention, but today we are not talking about the film. Hell, who even cares about the film? Nor the critics nor the fans cared. Let's talk about Borderlands, the one you do care about. Or, if you are like me, never encountered before, and you are intrigued. You are interested. Borderlands, can't be worst than the movie? And you are correct. This time we are entertained by someone who's a regular on this page, who goes by the name Rígur Lárus. You know the name, you know his awesome mix series. But now he was asked to make an appearance on the Borderlands mix series (not the film, people!). If you've not seen or heard of this mix series before, which falls under the ''Hel:sløwed'' umbrella, here's a short overview: it's a brand new project by Misja Helsloot and Michael de Kooker. Voila, that's all you need to know. And it's sufficient enough for you to proceed to the actual mix. I am a fan of his mixes. He stands out, and makes each and every mix extremely interesting. His mixes aren't normally an hour long, so this Borderlands mix is a nice bonus. And the boys behind ''Hel:sløwed'' do not have many guest appearances from other artists, so it must feel like an honour, right? Well, they've asked the right individual, and it is the perfect mix for the weekend. You are looking for something nice, relaxing, mellow, and smooth? Look no further. Khainz - Fall To You (Extended Mix) Joris Voorn - Liquid Apropos - Up High (Original Mix) James Harcourt - The Last Time (Original Mix) Olivier Weiter, Forniva - Neon Sky (Original Mix) Woo York - The Red Room Olivier Weiter, Forniva, Veljko Jovic - In The Ocean (Estiva Remix) Yodh - Is It Real (Chomba Remix) OTAVA - Pillars Of Creation (Original Mix) Jamie Woon - Night Air (Huminal's Disco Edit) Fahlberg - Transition BT - Flaming June (PARAFRAME Extended Remix) Michelle Bench - SXM Vibes (Original Mix) Moonwalk - Born Again (Original Mix) Bound, SENNSES & MAMI (ofc) - Dream (Original Mix) I'm actually going on holiday coming Monday, and the journey to the airport is going to be a long one, so I might give this mix a go (again). Need to travel at silly o'clock, so I need something smooth, and kind of sensual. Found the perfect mix for that. Rígur Lárus has done it again. Another wicked mix. Maybe shorter than usual, but still highly enjoyable. His mixes are always highly anticipated, as they are in a different league. He always seems to find the best of the best records, and crams them into a few hour long mix. And added to it, he normally has the mix focusses on a well known movie star. Not today. Today it's all about him and the music he likes. He has picked 15 amazing records, and the end result is an hour long of pure bliss. It is a wonderful journey through Rígur Lárus's wonderful world. It's a mixture of everything, and I truly love each mix I've heard from him so far. There are still more out there for me to discover, and I will one day, but I need to review other mixes too. Wouldn't be fair to other artists. And it would mean I had to change my website to ''Rígur Lárus appreciation website'', or something similar. He always finds the best of the best, and the songs are all solid. Obviously he was asked to do this Borderlands episode. It's a cracking episode, and one you should look out for. Which record made me the happiest? Oh, there are a few. But maybe the one that got me the happiest, has to be 'Night Air'. Loving the different vibes coming through this song. It's yet another epic and amazing mix by Rígur Lárus. I hope he does more guest mixes like this one. He deserves to receive more credit for his amazing mixes.

It is Friday. What a glorious day it is. It was cold and drizzly this morning, but the sun has come out again. And the worst thing is? I've got the flu. My bodily fluids are covering most of my desk, including my keyboard and mouse, and let's not forget my monitor. Speakers are fine, they are well hidden from sight, so nothing to worry about. And on my desk do I have half a pharmacy to get me through today. The one medicine I didn't have, was music, but don't worry about that: Soundcloud to the rescue. And it has certainly helped me a lot! Clubland. Anyone remember this legendary name? Of course you do, don't lie. The label has been quiet since 2021 (according to Discogs), but to me it has meant a lot. The label had some fantastic releases, including the mighty Clubland X-Treme Hardcore series. Can't believe the last CD release was 12 years ago! I did like the series, but they had to disappear, which is obviously disappointing, but the music will live on within all of us. Alex Threat made this mix, with some of the biggest tracks to appear on a Clubland CD. And it's a nice blast from the past. I've been all over this mix for the last few days, and it has brought some nice memories back. I felt young again, with less weight and more hair. And still enough power within my system to dance throughout the night, stomping hard while hearing these tunes. A fantastic blast from the past.

Absolutely fantastic. This mix made me happier, and less ill. And now I'm full of energy. Still snotty, but less worried. Alex Threat's mix contains so many great anthems from back in the day. I remember each and every song in this mix, and when they were released, they hit hard! The only person in the Netherlands who understood Clubland and UKHC, and I couldn't care less. The music meant so much to me, it made me who I am. Powerful to the core, and it made me feel further in love with UKHC. I cannot find anything wrong with this mix. Little errors, but nothing major. The tracks are solid, and are certainly enhancing happiness within us al. And each song has got a specific memory to it I adore. But the one track that still gets me the happiest, is Hixxy's ''More & More''. There are 21 amazing records in here, but his record just hits the hardest. Come on, when that song is played at a rave, you will loose your mind even more. That's just a pure rave anthem, right? A solid mix, one that will get you excited for the weekend ahead. Go out, and rave. And remember the good old Clubland Hardcore days!

I don't remember what the first ever 3 Steps Ahead tune was I heard. I'm guessing when he released 'Drop It' back in 1996. Not 100% sure. But he's been in my Hardcore life since the early days, and has never left. He might have unfortunately left us physically, but spiritually he's still here, and his music is still loved by the young, the old, and the die-hard Hardcore fanatic. His music gave the Hardcore generation a sound to rave to. And the majority of his records were extremely successful. And adored by many. Many years after his passing, you can still find a lot of memorable mixes online. And no mix is made without a 3 Steps Ahead song in it. He was so influential and ahead of his time, we still trying to decipher his music. He has made so many anthems, and of course we know the big anthems, but his more obscure anthems under different aliases like The Illegal Alien, Pedro Terzero, Silverbells, The Ender, and more, they might not be for everyone. An acquired taste, shall we say. But under the 3 Steps Ahead umbrella did he release a lot of awesome tunes. And with all of them did I grew up with. They were part of my childhood, my youth, and they still put a smile on my face. Ranging from happier tunes to the rougher and bolder songs, his range was extraordinary. His livesets were also something different. Wasn't he the artist who wore a football shirt made out of multiple teams, not signifying just one team, but that we are all gabbers, friends for life, no matter what our political views are or which football club we support. We are gabbers 4 life. He set the tone, and dominated during the 90s. And so many of his songs have entered our heads, and will never leave us. They are powerful anthems, ones that will take us back to the 90s in a split second. He has made timeless songs, and many still are in awe of each anthem, and shocked to know we live in a world where we have his music, but unfortunately not the actual legend anymore (RIP Peter Paul Pigmans). A French electronic underground music label, vinyl shop and distributor decided to release a special tribute to the legend, on vinyl, last year. It was limited to 1000 copies, and I'm guessing they were all sold out. 4 LPs, 12'', each representing the colours in 3 Steps Ahead's logo. And 19 records on them, 19 of the biggest 3 Steps Ahead records. Vinyl, eh? Seems that the good old days never go away. Vinyl, and 90s Hardcore are here to stay. But obviously he's made a shit ton of records, which 19 records were used for this beautiful tribute? A1. 3 Steps Ahead - Drop It A2. 3 Steps Ahead - Sound Of The Underground B1. 3 Steps Ahead - It's Delicioius B2. 3 Steps Ahead - Crazy C1. 3 Steps Ahead - Fuk The Police C2. 3 Steps Ahead - Hardcore C3. 3 Steps Ahead - Gabbertime D1. 3 Steps Ahead - In The Name Of Love D2. 3 Steps Ahead - I'm A H.C.M.F.

A true Hardcore fan knows each and every song by heart, and can sing them. We all know them, love them, and cherish them forever and ever. He will be with us until our dying days. 3 Steps Ahead, a true Hardcore pioneer. His mindset was extraordinary. Not taking the 'standard' approach, but his own. His music became synonymous to the best of the best. You knew when you saw his name on a CD, that his record would be awesome. His music brought a smile on your face. And seeing him at Mysteryland 1998 Outdoor certainly did put a smile on my face. Ground-breaking at the time, and a skilled Hardcore producer, he kept the raving community on their toes, with their hands way up in the air. For this tribute LP they've selected 19 records. And of course did they have to pick 'Drop It' as the first one. One of, if not, the biggest 3 Steps Ahead records out there. Certainly a big one, but not my favourite. That one is still 'Gangster (Feel So Good)'. Those vocals are just awesome. And being a 3 Steps Ahead compilation, they had to add some quirkiness to it. 'Cloud 9' is up there. And 'Welcome To Planet Steps'. 'Sound Of The Underground' is yet another record you might not find in many people's top 10 3SA songs, but it needs to be on here. It shows how 3 Steps Ahead was, musically. Diverse as possible, bringing Hardcore to everyone, and not caring how it was perceived: as long as it got people raving. But it turned out to be the opposite: the majority of these records were extremely well perceived. Hell, I'm still talking about them, many decades after their initial release. It's a fantastic ode to the legend. He is truly missed. His music will live on inside all of us. And can I request a suggestion: instead of 'Thunderdome Till We Die', maybe we rename it to '3 Steps Ahead Till We Die'. More fitting to the legend. You might go and find a copy, but I think it's going to be very difficult. A very sought after LP. Who wouldn't want to have this?

It is weird to think that yours truly, the trustworthy TCD, is a fanatic of all kinds of harder music, including Terror and Speedcore. You might not like it, and I fully understand it. It's not for everyone, nor will it ever be for everyone. This is for those with an acquired taste. You either love it, or you find it the most horrendous sounding 'music' in the world. Truth be told, you wouldn't even be calling it music, if you dislike it. But to me, it sounds like nothing else out there, and I can imagine Heaven having this on repeat for ever and ever and ever.... During the mid to late 90s, I fell more in love with Terror and Speedcore. Or Gabba, whatever you might call it. But I think it started way earlier than that, probably around 1992/1993. When Hardcore was still trying to figure out what it was, and everyone was trying everything to make it work. The earliest Hardcore tunes were not always well defined, well shaped. It required time and effort, but even though to the majority of people it sounded like garbage, it sounded like Heaven to me. And I think that's where my love started. Especially the anthems from the States. Do not underestimate the importance of American Hardcore. We (the Dutch) might think we ruled Hardcore, it was a combination of Dutch, German, Belgium, UK, Italy, and the States all combined. That's why Hardcore ruled the world, as there was music for everyone. And the Americans loved it harder, rougher and tougher. DJ Skinhead and DOA (Disciples Of Annihilation), two names well known in the harder styles. Of course did DJ Skinhead release the biggest Terror track of all time: ''Extreme Terror''. Still a well loved and played record. But there was so much to DOA and Skinhead. DJ Freak made this mix 11 years ago, and it recently got reuploaded by Magpie303 on Soundcloud, for you all to relive the glorious 90s again... 01 DOA - Extreme Gangsta 02 DOA - Wanna Be A Gangsta 03 DJ Skinhead - Extreme Terror (The Pain Mix) 04 DJ Skinhead - Extreme Terror ( Terror Mix) 05 DJ Skinhead - The Ultimate Cumshot 06 DJ Skinhead - Take It Outside 07 DJ Skinhead - DJ Skinhead ( Mutha Fucka Mix) 08 U.V.C. - No Reason For Sympathy 09 DOA - This is D.O.A. 10 DOA - Total Annihilation 11 DOA - Ya Mutha Part III 12 DOA - DJ Ass Fucker 13 DOA - Unleash The Brutality 14 U.V.C. - Death Is... 15 U.V.C. - Half Dead 16 U.V.C. - Axis 17 DOA - Our Father 18 DOA - Zu Leiten 19 Temper Tantrum - The Underground 20 DJ Skinhead - Extreme Terror III 21 DJ Skinhead - Extreme Terror (N.Y. HardCore Mix) 22 DOA - Brooklyn Mob 23 DOA - NYC Speedcore Be warned, this isn't for those who love their music melodic, harmonious, and very cheerful. This is the opposite. This is harder than hell, trust me. And I freaking love it. DJ Freak's appreciation mix is doing some serious damage in my household, and I do not care if anyone agrees or disagrees with my choice of music: this is music from MY youth. No need to listen to Snap!, Culture Beat, 2Unlimited, Spice Girls, Take That, and other crappy 90s groups... give me DOA and DJ Skinhead all day, every day! Whenever you hear those legendary words ''Extreme Terror'', you know stuff is about to go down. Things are changing. Darkness will engulf you like a tidal wave, and there's nothing you can do. Ride the wave, embrace the darkness. It is hard to pick a favourite. DJ Skinhead will always be 'Extreme Terror', but which version? Version III and the N.Y. HardCore Mix are always my favourite songs. And funnily enough, the track that gets me hard every single time (yeah, I've said it), is NYC Speedcore by DOA. Closely followed by 'This Is D.O.A.'. I really am happy to have discovered this fantastic mix. Again, it's not for everyone. But if you were young and loved Terror in the 90s, this will certainly bring back memories. And this will make the weekend fly by. Go and put this on repeat, and enjoy life. At least we life in an era in which we know what the Americans brought to the Hardcore scene, and I'm happy that they did: where would we be without DOA and DJ Skinhead?

In 2023 I discovered this Soundcloud channel, which is called Sound Abuse, and their Industrial Summer BBQ Chill Mix was a hit. It certainly was, and still is, but as the Summer of 2025 is here, So, here's volume 2 of their Industrial Summer BBQ Chill Mix. And it's one you are really want to hear. Unless you aren't a fan of Industrial Hardcore. If that's the case, please leave this review and go somewhere else. This mix is only for those who appreciate the harder stuff. Like me. I love hard music, and I love BBQing. Those two things are amazing. But trust me when I say that, in my household, BBQ does not work with Industrial music. None of my friends or family members appreciate anything hard. We would play the trusted BBQ playlist on Amazon Music, which contains anthems from the 80s and 90s, but nothing too damn hard. Anything hard will result in people leaving the BBQ, and I'm stuck with cooked burgers, chicken wings, sausages, and no one to eat them. My wife would eat them, and of course I would, but we would struggle. So our BBQs are kind of boring. No one to share this mix with. So, the main reason behind this mix is to share it with people who do have awesome friends and family members who appreciate good music, and aren't judgemental. If you are blessed enough, let Sound Abuse take you on a pleasant journey, and make your BBQ awesome. As it certainly will be, with tracks like the ones you can see in the tracklist below: 1. Disface - Uncontrolled Pressure 2. _Digi . Slave - Not 2B Xtermin8ed 3. Narc – Destroyer 4. Brutal Force - Scream Louder 5. Mindustries - The Flames 6. Agent Zero - Evil Gain (Gathering Storm Remix) 7. Hardez – Collapse 8. E-Noid - Perfect Day 9. Ruthless and Dave S – FCKDP 10. The Silence – Sunblock 11. EAS - A Low Grade Euphoria (Rotterdam Mix) 12. Nightshift - Lost Cause 13. Detest & Furyan - The Realest 14. Society Will Fall - Superficial Intelligence 15. Stormtrooper - Todesvogel (Catscan Remix) 16. Ophidian - Qotile ( Sacerdos Vigilia Remix) 17. Mad & Darkcontroller - Sinister Sanctum 18. 100 Kilo Maarten - I Am My Own Revolution 19. Myrage Industries – Nycticorax 20. Mad Dog – Storm 21. Negative A - Slaughter Houze 22. Chaos Project – Blackhole 23. Bodylotion - Catastrophy (Neophyte & Karun Remix) 24. Plexos – Syndrome 25. The Satan - Face Your Doom 26. Akira & Bruhze - Innovator Oldskool 27. Dysistor - It is for us 28. Holly - Obscure Entity 29. Hotrebor - Analog Tribute 30. Master Mind - Wake up This is a very interesting tracklist, with a shit ton of music I've not heard before. And a lot of unknown names. But it's a truly interesting one, as it will certainly liven up your BBQ, and probably wake the whole neighbourhood. As much as I appreciate and love Hardcore, be a bit conservative when it comes to the music. Not everyone likes it, so maybe play it at an appropriate level. Don't be a nuisance, OK? You have fun, but not those that do not appreciate it. Or make it into a BBQ where everyone wears a headset. Probably a weird concept, but worth it. Anyway, let's move away from the BBQ, as the meat is already cooked/done. Sit down and enjoy. As that's what I'm doing right now. Sound Abuse have picked a great selection of records, and they are to tear your braincells apart. And fuck up your eardrums. Especially when a brand spanking new record by an underrated artist is played. 100 Kilo Maarten's 'I Am My Own Revolution'. Boy, does that one hit. That one hits HARD. Brutal, and deep and edgy at the same time. I love that record. Highlight of the mix, without a shadow of a doubt. Anything negative to mention about this mix? Well, it highlights the fact that my friends are a tad boring and don't like my music. Which makes me sad. But on the other hand, all is well when I'm near a BBQ and I'm tasting those delicious burgers and sausages. Life is great, really.

It is Tuesday, and the week is going by slowly. It's not quick, it's too damn slow. It doesn't help my mood, so I need something hard, and fast. And it doesn't happen that often that I find a Freeform set, especially one by Endemic. But it is here, and it's one you want to see/hear. Recorded at Kosmos Festival 2025, it's one you want to listen to. Freeform at its finest, by legends from the scene, who've been around for a while. You might even know them. If you don't, let this mix be your introduction into their wonderful world. I don't know why a loaf of bread has anything to do with Freeform, but do we understand the Freeform community? Nah. We are all unique within that community, and maybe a loaf of bread makes perfect sense. Maybe the people behind this project all love bread? Or maybe the Finnish ravers love bread? They must do, right? The event sounds massive: over 150 artists, and 40 international artists. Only a handful of artists do I recognise, and those played at the Levitation Station FINRG area. Obviously I'm aware of FINRG, and I still find it amazing that the Finnish have embraced Freeform. And actually have events where UK artists played. Kudos to them for keeping Freeform alive and kicking. For their set they've selected a few awesome records, and these were the ones they used: Transcend - Future Shanty Endemic & Solution - Outbreak Endemic - Investatron 3000 Epyx & Cyrez - Blackest Night (Endemic Remix) K Complex & Mark Ashley - Atomic Orbital (Endemic Remix) K Complex - Cyberspace (Endemic Remix) King Ace - Dark Side Of The Moon (Endemic Remix) Substanced & Grimsoul - Signal Lost (Endemic Remix) Lost Soul & Endemic - Voice Of The Eclipse Endemic - Chosen Marcel Woods - Advanced (Endemic Remix) Organ Donors - 99.9 (Endemic Remix) DJ Rx - My Serenity (Endemic Remix) Endemic - Chaos Theory Endemic - Hurricane A blinding mix. If you were at this event and you witnessed Endemic, you must have had a wonderful time. Especially knowing the songs they've used for their set. Fantastic songs. Hit after hit. Really amazing stuff. I might have reviewed an Endemic set years ago, but I can't remember when it was. But at least, in 2025, I'm reviewing their set, and what a glorious set it was. The right Freeform anthems at the right time. This is the kind of Freeform I truly adore, admire, and sadly miss. You don't hear songs like these ones anymore. These all bring me joy and happiness. But what brought me the most happiness, was their opening track. Transcend's 'Future Shanty'. Not heard that one before, but what a way to give the Freeform fanatics exactly what they wanted to hear, at the start of a blinding set. I've got no negative feedback to give. This has been a fantastic set, which has been on repeat ever since I woke up this morning. You should just jump on this mix and relive the golden Freeform years. Endemic have done a great job, and their set is truly wicked! If anyone knows what the bread has got to do with the act, please leave a comment below!

It's Monday, and what a dreadful day it is. It's a bit chilly, rains every so often, and it's cloudy. Not the Summer we hoped it was going to be. But not to worry, we still have a few weeks, so we might have a great Summer. To keep us occupied, I've come across this mix. A proper 90s Hardcore/Jungle mixtape. Made by Kickback, it's an hour and 22 minutes of proper 90s bangers. The tracks are powerful enough to keep you going. The 90s were fantastic years. A wonderful decade, unique in every way imaginable. The music was more happier and rough, but not obnoxious. It spawned a new generation, who were all ready to hit the dancefloors and demolish them. Hands in the air, stomping their feet, and whistles everywhere. As aggressive as their dance moves were, the ravers themselves weren't. We were all there to be happy, and share our love and appreciation for rave. Kickback's mix contains the big hits. And they are big. They used to be dancefloor smashers, and they have remained as awesome as they were, during the 90s. You still get a lot of people who get hyped up for these songs, just out of nostalgia but also because they were just better songs compared to the current climate. The 90s rock, without a shadow of a doubt. I'll happily go back in time, to relive the 90s again. Run Tings - Back Again (V.I.P. Mix) The House Crew - Euphoria (Nino's Dream) Krome & Time - The Slammer DJ Solo - Darkage (All Night Remix) DJ Mayhem - Inesse (Ray Keith Remix) D-Force - Original Bad Boy Orca - 4AM Skruffneck - I Need Your Loving Ramos, Supreme & The Sunset Regime - Sunshine DJ Seduction - Samplemania Remix Vibes & Wishdokta - Feel So Good Just Another Artist - Lust DJs Unknown - Volume 2b Intense - The Dreamer Omni Trio - Renegade Snares (Foul Play VIP) Justin Time - Sweet In My Pocket (Force & The Evolution Remix) Jimmy J & Cru-L-T - Six Days Vibes & Wishdokta - Harmony Liquid Crystal - Can't Stop Falling Ramos, Supreme & The Sunset Regime - Gotta Believe (Heaven Mix) Fantastic. I feel young again. And guess what? The miserable weather outside has now turned, and it looks glorious outside. Sun is shining. It's like the almighty actually appreciates good music? Who knew? Kickback's mix has got some serious hitters in it. Pure dancefloor smashers. If you were around in the 90s, and you were a full on raver, you must remember all of these records, right? Can't go to a rave and NOT hear these songs. It's so weird to think that we class some of these records as Happy Hardcore, even though they made people loose their minds like never before, and they were initially classed as Hardcore. How weird it all went. They were maybe slightly happy, but were they ever happy enough to be as happy as those Happy Hardcore anthems from the mid 90s? It's a beautiful mix, and it has been on repeat from 6am until 6pm. And I don't care. Best record? One that no one can beat: 'Renegade Snares'. Come on, that song is in another league, a league on its own. A beast of a record. Timeless masterpiece.

The weekend has landed, and we need something to unwind. It's been a bit of a week, and it's going to be a bit of a weekend, but I won't bore you with the details, as it's not really interesting. But to get us through this weekend, and get us ready for next weekend, the perfect mix has landed on my desk, by accident. I wasn't technically looking for it, but I stumbled across it, and now I'm hooked. A mix so damn good, it baffles me that I've not discovered this duo before. It's obviously the Essential mix by a duo called Tinlicker. During the beginning it's explained where the names comes from, but it still makes no sense to me. I heard their massive song 'Just To Hear You Say' a couple of weeks ago, and it blew my mind away. Started to look for more Tinlicker, and that's when I came across their Essential mix. And boy, did it not disappoint. This is hard as hell. But deep on so many levels. I don't know if licking a tin is required for you to enjoy it as much as I have, but you could give it a try. Be careful with the edges on the tin, they might be a tad sharp. This aired last year, and as I never listen to the radio anymore, I missed it. But thankfully I have discovered this 2 hour long set. It is so glorious, and the tracks selected are so deep and fantastic. And it contains so much more. The majority of records I've not heard before, but they are etched into my mind for the rest of my life. This mis has been on repeat since the moment I discovered it, and it's not leaving my side any day soon. This is one of those mixes which you will listen to, until you completely insane. I've already listened to it enough to fully picture the mix in my head, knowing exactly each song, knowing when they start, etc. Fantastic.

Emotions run wild throughout this mix. And it's packed with Tinlicker songs, remixes and edits. So if you've never heard of Tinlicker, like myself, this is a fantastic treat. Christmas has come early this year, and the Summer isn't over yet! I've listened to this mix a lot of times, and it's made journeys to work much more pleasant. My heart beat slows down, and I feel more at ease with everything. This mix contains everything to make you feel again. Deep emotions. But with a knipoog, obviously. (that's a Dutch word, look it up). The whole mix is splendid. They do take you on a pleasant journey. But what baffles me, is that around the 7 minute mark, I get stuck. Kelly Moran's 'Helix', edited by Tinlicker, that's my jam. And the song I have on repeat. What a wonderful and majestic song. The intro itself is fantastic, and the rest of the mix too, but this song... it blows me away. Probably my favourite record as of now, and it will remain in my top 5 for a very, very long time. Tinlicker, whatever the name means, has created a beast of a mix. I want to hear more now, and thankfully, their Soundcloud is filled with more beautiful anthems. Go and check them out. I know I will do exactly that. But for now, 'Helix' will go on repeat again.

DJ Promo is back! Well, he has never left, as he's Hardcore to the bone, but you know what I'm saying. He's back with a brand spanking new album. Not the first album which he has released, and certainly not the last. But he's gone back to his roots with this album, and it's certainly one that is going to please a lot of the die-hard Promo fans, who love his early work. The Promo Files, anyone? He goes in deep, and the album is the result of his years in the scene, building up extensive knowledge on how to be the best. The result is certainly there. I did spot a few posts on social media regarding this new release, and once it was on YouTube, I jumped on it. I am a massive Promo fan since the mid 90s when he made his first releases public. I am in awe of his music, and I do not believe another artist comes close to the impact this man has had on my life, and many others. His music has touched generations, and made thousands, if not millions of people move. And he still gets us excited whenever he releases new stuff. The first Promo album I ever purchased, was 'Never Compromise'. And what a smashing CD that was.'The Revolutionist' followed, 'Quality Control', but after that, I skipped 'Stijlloos'. Personally, that wasn't my favourite album. He came back with 'True Tones', and a few other albums followed. And obviously he brought back the Promo Files, be it remixed. It was time for something new and refreshing, and instead, he just did what he does: he doesn't refresh, he just delivers. He doesn't compromise, as he's the revolutionist, he always goes through quality control, and everything he does becomes stijlloos. Shall I proceed, or are you catching my drift? With this album, it seems he goes not only back to his roots, but also proceeds with the sound he created later in life. There's a huge influential presence within each song of his sound after the 90s, and you might even say he combined multiple albums into one fantastic album. Some very deep and philosophical anthems, and some no nonsense, stomping hard anthems. You get it all, in one album. DJ Promo - Solitude DJ Promo - Forgive Me Father (For I Have Synth) DJ Promo - In The Dark DJ Promo - Stand United DJ Promo - Fake Fodder DJ Promo - Drowning By Daylight DJ Promo - The Best One DJ Promo - Countdown DJ Promo - The Outsiders DJ Promo - Promo Bitch DJ Promo - The Second Dawn DJ Promo - Totally Lost It DJ Promo - Beneath The Waves DJ Promo - Dark Times Before I proceed, can I just give credit to Promo for making a tracklist which consists of no spelling errors? I don't think I've ever encountered a tracklist which didn't contain spelling errors. Stuff like that makes me happy, extremely happy. Satisfied by the list so far. The album starts with an intro, and slowly builds up. And boy, does the BPMs go up and up. And the bass sometimes becomes unbearable for most humans. I'm not like most, and I like the bass to be as filthy and rough as possible. But I can also appreciate some more melodic anthems. Basically, I appreciate most stuff Promo makes. And this album contains all that is holy, in the Promo world. Excellent tunes, fantastically produced. A well balanced yet intriguing album. Promo is still here to stay. It might take some time for people to categorise these songs in the same class as the old Promo Files anthems, but it won't be that long. These are solid anthems. I truly admire this album, and I cannot find anything wrong with this album at all. No issues. 'Promo Bitch' is just a fantastic record. Kevin Hart saying 'Promo bitch', that's just hilarious. And the stomping elements in this song make me want to put both my fists in the air and stomp the ground with my feet. And scream the words 'Promo Bitch' out loud. But here comes the twist. 'Beneath The Waves'. What an awesome record that is! Whoever done the vocals, that is just mesmerizing to listen to. There's so much passion and emotions in the vocals, I cannot stop listening to this song. Maybe the lyrics themselves are quite deep, but thankfully I don't listen too much to lyrics. Her voice just persuades me to move my ass, and feel blessed to live in a world where there are songs like this one. Ps. I've just discovered that these lyrics are from an Evanescence song. Wow. Maybe the only point of interest is the last record. Not the best Promo record. Still enjoyable. But OK. Nothing more to add. A fantastic album. Click the link below to stream this as much as you like, and share it with as many people are you know. I'll certainly do that. here in the UK. Blasting out the new Promo album on the M25 and M1.

Oh, it's going to be yet another hot weekend. 30+ degrees Celsius outside, and unfortunately, also inside the house. Bloody newbuilds, they maintain the heat extremely well. I'm sitting here, looking like Onslow from 'Keeping Up Appearances'. I do miss the cap on my head, but everything else is the same. It's hot, and what makes it worst, is the fact that I'm listening to a dope ass mix, one that takes me back to the good old days, and it immediately makes me think of the Summer. And that's not beneficial either, because it's making me hotter and hotter. The temperatures are slowly going up, the BBQ will be fired up, and the tunes are already sorted. Leave that to the guys at History Of Happy Hardcore channel on Soundcloud. They normally focus on the harder side of dance music, but every so often do they upload nice and calm Trance mixes, like the one you are about to listen to. And it's packed to the max with Trance classics. According to the title of the mix, these are the ultimate Trance classics. And I do concur. This mix has been on repeat since 8am this morning, and will be on repeat until the sun goes down. This is definitely a mix filled with classics. They are classics. Come on, all the tracks in this mix are just astonishingly gorgeous, stood the test of time, and still gets people raving. They are solid dancefloor anthems, and you can only appreciate and love them. No one hates Trance, no one. But which classics? And do you think and feel the same about these records? Are they classics, and should they be? Gouryella - Gouryella System F - Out Of The Blue Veracocha - Carte Blance Lange feat The Morrighan - Follow Me Matt Darey presents Mash UP - Liberation ( Temptation - Fly Like An Angel) (Ferry Corsten Remix) Lovechild - Liberta (Moonman Remix) Art Of Trance - Madagascar (Ferry Corsten Remix) Energy 52 - Cafe Del Mar (Original Three 'N One Mix) Freefall feat Jan Johnston - Skydive ATB - 9PM (Till I Come) (Sequential One 1999 Remix) Rank 1 - Airwave (Rank 1 vs Dutch Force Mix) Delerium feat Sarah McLachlan - Silence (DJ Tiesto In Search Of Sunrise Remix) Paul van Dyk - For An Angel (PvD E-Werk Club Mix) They are classics. Hell yes. You cannot go to a Trance event and NOT hear these songs. I remember hearing these songs for the first time, and they blew me away. I'm such a music nerd, I can still remember the CD they appeared on the first time. And I still own those CDs. They are scratched beyond belief, but that doesn't matter. Nostalgia, mate. Oh, this is hard. To choose one favourite song. I cannot. They've all been with me through my younger years, and they played a crucial part in making me become a music obsessed idiot. The maker of this mix picked ALL the freaking classics. Oh damn, it's too damn hard. But here goes: 'Madagascar'. Why? Sensation 2001 White edition. Or was it 2002? Nah, it was 2002. And this was played. And I took me to places not been to before. 40 thousand people in the Amsterdam Arena. This came on, and I lost my freaking mind. A true masterpiece, one that certainly deserve the title 'Classic'. They are all solid anthems. It's yet another amazing mix. I love Trance, especially when it's these glorious anthems being played over and over. I never get tired of them. Well, maybe one of the tracks selected. ''9PM''. Bit overkill, in my honest opinion. Might need a break from hearing that song. But otherwise, a fantastic mix that suits the currently climate in the UK. It's sunny, hot, sweaty, and it feels like we are abroad.

I've been lied to. And I really dislike that. And maybe you experienced the same? You might have encountered the same issue on YouTube, when you think you are going to listen to a specific album, and it's not what you expected. The next thing you are going to see is one of those disappointments. And it really grinds my gear when it happens. Thunderdome is an institution, it's a way of life. We don't need to explain to the raving culture what it is, and what it means. We have all been hoping that the good ol' days would come back, and we could hear the music from the 90s and early 00s again. So when I spotted this 'new' and 'rare' album on YouTube I got happy. Only uploaded a couple of days ago, I thought that it might have been the real deal. But fuck me, that wasn't the case. It looks persuasive enough. The cover looks really genuinely Thunderdome-ish. It's been lacking this kind of covers for many years. They are playing it safe over the last couple of years. So to see this new cover was really intriguing. But I looked closely. A concept design. Fan art, basically. And that's really done amazingly! Credits to the one who made the cover. But then you look at the tracklist, and it becomes a disappointment beyond belief! Here, you have a look. Tell me what you thought of it the first time you looked at it! CD1: 01. The Stunned Guys & Darrien Kelly - Violet Skies 02. Neophyte - Fuck Martine (Stunned Guys Mix) 03.

Bold Bob - Bold Bass I've not been more disappointed than hearing this CD on Youtube. What a massive cock up that was. To me it's kind of a click bait thing. Everyone who likes Hardcore would automatically click on the player, because it's Thunderdome. But if you inspect it closely, you see that it's not, and never will be. But because it has the name, people think it is. It's a fucking lie! And it's not EVEN Thunderdome material!!! Yes, some records do resemble the Thunderdome sound, but the majority are Italian Hardcore records, or just waste of time. You know when you've got a MoH album or a Thunderdome album in your possession: it's that unique sound. And this seems to be only click bait. A fake. I'm really gutted. Really disappointed. I'm waiting for that oldskool but new album from Thunderdome, but it hasn't arrived yet. And maybe this would have been the one. But it wasn't. This has pissed me off. The tracks are good, don't hear me say anything about that, but the way this is presented is just pure lying to the masses. Create your own concept, don't re-invent one. Be unique, and people will come if it's good. But this is just pure rip off. Jumping the band wagon of Thunderdome's success. I'm really disliking this 'album'. Yes it's rare, because it's fake. Don't be duped. If you just want to hear Hardcore music, go ahead: there are good records on here, but if you were looking (like myself) for some Thunderdome, you will be deeply disappointed. Fuck this shit. I'll give it the lowest score ever. Don't even bother to talk about the positives. This hurts my feelings. Just go to Thunderdome's official website for your Thunderdome fix. Not this rubbish.

If you follow me on Twitter, you know I'm a huge fan of Fallout 4. I was only given a Playstation on Christmas last year, and I think I became a fan of it after seeing videos of it on Youtube. As a surprise, the wife got me Fallout 4. Thankfully not 76, because many seem to dislike it. But 4 got my attention in the first place, and now I'm playing it whenever I can. Now, for those who consider themselves gaming fanatics, let me warn you, I'm still a noob. I've got prior to this game no gaming experience whatsoever, and thankfully we will not discuss the game, but only one tiny feature that is present in this game, and gets a lot of plays on Soundcloud and Youtube: Diamond City Radio! I still need to discover all the perks of this game, but what I can tell you is that I'm addicted. Truly addicted. And I'm in love with the music they used for this 'radio' station. I've been listening to this for weeks now, not only during me playing the actual game, but there are plenty of channels on Youtube and Soundcloud dedicated to the game. You can literally find everything on here. So what kind of music can you hear? Old music. Classic music. Timeless music. But also music that will remain in your head, long after you stopped playing the game. Someone on Youtube made this video, and all the track names are in chronological order. Don't expect the usual hard style music I normally write about , in this video. If you are a fan of the game, or just Jazzy music in general, you will love this! Sit back, and enjoy! 01. Tex Beneke - A Wonderful Guy 02. Bing Crosby - Accentuate The Positive 03. Cole Porter - Anything Goes 04. The Five Stars - Atom Bomb Baby 05. Roy Brown - Butcher Pete (Part 1) 06.

The Three Suns - Worry Worry Worry Funny side note: a couple of weeks ago, me and the wife went to Bletchley Park, the famous location where they 'cracked' the Enigma code, and we had afternoon tea there. Guess what kind of music they played? Correct. This kind of music. Well, not the saucy and sexual tinted tracks, but the 'clean' records. It gave me a nice feeling: small sandwiches, small tea, in a nice location, with Fallout 4 music. My kind of heaven. Some of these records are so unique and cool, you might even think that they have been specifically written for the Fallout series, but you've got to remember that when these were originally released, the world was focussed on atomic/nuclear power and the devastation a nuclear bomb creates. It was a different time, a Third World War was closeby. So it might appear to be specifically made for this game, but it wasn't. It was just the state of the world back then. Such a different world. How cool is it, that music can take you back to this world in an instant? You don't need to be at Bletchley Park to feel like you are in the 40s and 50s. You just need to close your eyes and listen to this. And another amazing thing is that the tunes were short, compared to the music nowadays. But within the shortness it packs a punch. I love the fact that these tunes are catchy as hell! Nothing like the top 40 from today. The tunes will be forgotten easily, but not these tunes. Yes, they might sound dated, but they will outlive many of the artists who release music in the 10s. I'm so addicted to this: I can literally sing along each and every record! And at the moment this kind of music is my favourite! Yes, EDM and everything EDM related I love, but my passion lies now with the 40s and 50s music. And Fallout should get some credit, for making me aware of this kind of music. Not something you would look out for, or hear on the radio at all. Which is my favourite record? 'Pistol Packin Mama' by Bing Crosby. So darn catchy. Ah hell, it might be 20+ degrees outside, but this reviewer will not leave the house: I must revisit Diamond City, and just relax.

Whilst the majority of ravers are destroying their braincells and feet at Defqon.1 right now, there must be a few out there who do not appreciate the harder styles, and rather have some soothening beats coming through their speakers. Now, I've got something special for you. A set from the once number 1 DJ in the world, DJ Tiësto. And what he did back in 2003 shook the world to its core! Nothing like it happened before. 1 DJ,1 event, 8 hours, 25.000 ravers. Pure and unadulterated madness. DJ Tiësto in Concert. One event I really wanted to go to, but I couldn't get tickets (I was too late, sold out really quickly). But I found snippets of his set on Soundcloud. ID&T created a lot of amazing memories with their events, but this one has given me special memories: I couldn't go, but I stayed at home, listening to the radio (3FM) and recorded the whole 8 hours on cassette. I had to switch every half an hour to the other side, and skip the news or adverts, but I stayed awake for this. And I remember it like it was yesterday. Headphones on, because my mum and dad were upstairs asleep. And I was raving my ass off. DJ Tiësto was a boss back in the days. He dominated the Trance scene, and when I witnessed him for the first time at Innercity, I knew that he was the best. He delivered so many great anthems over the years, memorable, and still considered Trance classics. Back in 2003 he was at the hight of his carreer (when he still focussed on the Trance side of things, and not EDM). Many looked up to him, and wanted to be him. He was everything a young beginning DJ wanted to be: a superstar DJ from the Netherlands. I had no talent. The only thing I had was a passion for music. I still love music to the bone. Can't make anything, I just appreciate it. And during his set he played so many memorable anthems. Worth checking out. Please remember that these sets are separated in two bits. And it's not the whole 8 hours. Bloody Nora, imagine if that would emerge on the internet! The world would loose their minds! 01. Tiësto - Magik Journey 02. Tiësto - Adagio For Strings 03.

Tiësto - Theme From Norefjell (DJ Jan & Christophe Chantzis Remix) Obviously this is not the whole night! These are snippets from the live broadcast on Dutch radio channel 3FM back in 2003. I was one of the listeners, and when I heard this set coming through my speakers, I felt like a 20 year old kid again. Fuck, I wish I bought a ticket for this and went. This was next level stuff! Tiësto dominated everything! He was a GOD behind the decks. Also, the recording isn't really in high quality. Probably taken from a cassette. Which lowers the quality tremendously. But still you can soak up the atmosphere in the Gelredome. He did his thing, and the crowd loved it. And 16 years later (can you believe it?) there are still people out there who cannot stop listening to this set. Did someone record the whole Tiësto set by any chance, is it somewhere on the internet? I know there's a DVD of the concert, but I reckon it's only max an hour long. Who's got the 8 hours? Who? You have got to remember that this was the first ever concert where the DJ was the main focus. Not many. Just one. DJ Tiësto. He was the main focus of the night. He did what had to be done: make history. The announcer at the beginning of his set was spot on. I still get goosebumps hearing him announce DJ Tiësto. But also the whole set. Brilliant from start to finish. I remember DJ Tiësto touching some continents. You can hear African Male Voice Chants towards the end of the recording. Don't know any other continents he 'visited' (or if he did ALL of them). But what I do remember is that it broke the show into bits. You can't expect Tiësto to give himself and not have a toilet break. Christ, he's a God, but even a God needs a toilet visit. What Tiësto did is truly astonishing. It was a risk by ID&T but it paid off. 25.000 tickets sold, a memorable night created. It's a shame he's chosen a different path, but maybe, if he listens back to his set, he might change his mind. Tiësto, come back. We need more night like this one. Best record? There are a few. But I would give 'Solid Globe - North Pole' the credit. Such a wicked and underrated Trance classic. And also 'Solar Factor - Urban Shakedown'. Just listen to it and you know why I adore these two anthems DJ: Tiësto Genre/Style: Trance Liveset Info: Recorded @ Tiësto In Concert 10-05-2003 Length Liveset: 04:03:31 Tracks: 50 (fifty) Download/Listen (via Soundcloud): LISTEN HERE & HERE File Size: unknown File Type: unknown Bitspeed: unknown More Information: DJ Tiësto - Official Page

It is Saturday, and it doesn't really matter. It's another day within the second lockdown period, so nothing much is happening around the world. Here in London it's kind of boring. It's a new level of non existing excitement. Or should I say a new low? The internet is the only thing that can bind us all together, and it can connect people from all over the world. And sometimes it's necessary, like the other day when my nan died, and we had to watch her funeral during a livestream. It's odd, I know, but at least we are 'there'. We can still be linked to one and another during this COVID period. But gabbers, they were always connected. At raves during the 90s and early 2000s they were the biggest friends club in the whole universe. There's wasn't much hatred or anger, we all danced throughout the night. Yes, we might have looked a tad odd with our track suits and bald heads, but we couldn't care less: this was our thing. And at the centre of this all, was the music. And even to this day we hold it close to our hearts: it's as dear to us as air is to other humans. We embrace the early sound, and play it until our final breath. Hardcore 4 Life. That's our motto. Now, I only found this mix a few hours ago, but I had to check it out. It's a mix made by Funky Frank. I do not know anything about this DJ, but what I do know is that he used a shit ton of classic anthems. And when I say classics, I do mean classics. You would probably find the same songs on your standard, run of the mill, top 40 Hardcore CD. You know, those CDs that are only made to get money out of your pocket, nothing much. Those 'special' CDs that everyone already has, but still buys, to add to their collection. If you were around during the 90s and you were a gabber/raver, you will enjoy this tracklist. You certainly will! The Horrorist - Flesh Is The Fever Public Energy - Three_O_Three The Dark Raver & DJ Vince - Thunderground Robert Armani - Hit Hard Miro - Shining E-Man - Bass Machine Razzle Dazzle Trax - Rattlebrain (DJ Isaac's Overdrive Remix) DJ Isaac & DJ The Viper - Fun-ky Beats The Dark Raver & DJ Vince - Intelligent Hardcore Dr. Macabre - Poltergeist Digital Boy - OK, Alright Forze DJ Team - '98 To Piano Dominium - Let Your Mind DJ Isaac - Freak That Shit DJ Isaac & DJ The Viper - Trigga Finga Rave Creator - Atmos-Fear Buzz Fuzz - King Of The Beats Jones & Stephenson - The First Rebirth Pilldriver - Pitch Hiker Neophyte - Braincracking Dune - Hardcore Vibes Stingray & Sonicdriver - As Cold As Ice The Highlander - Hold Me Now Bertocucci Feranzano - XTC Love Hardsequencer - Braincrash Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo - Wonderful Days (Rotterdam Mix) Critical Mass - Burnin' Love (DJ Weirdo & DJ Sim 173.683 Remix) Rave Nation - Going Crazy DJ Isaac - Bad Dreams The Prophet - Big Boys Don't Cry Masoko Solo - Pessa Pessa Buzz Fuzz - Frequencies DJ Weirdo & Dr. Phil Omanski - Young Birds Lenny Dee - The Dreamer Wayward - Hardcore Hijacked Me Chosen Few - Chosen Paradise Promo - Shut Up! 3 Steps Ahead - Drop It Diss Reaction - Jieehaaa DJ Jappo & Lancinhouse - EXLXAXL BONUS TRACK You might agree or disagree, but Funky Frank's selection is a good one. Yes, some do not fall technically under the early Hardcore tag, but more like Happy Hardcore, and some listeners do find that annoying, but it was still part of the early 90s. Love or hate it, even those cheesy tunes were part of this culture at one stage, and featured on many Hardcore compilations. The last track, which is a bonus track, is obviously the biggest top 40 hit for any Hardcore anthem, and you will immediately know which song I am talking about. I do like Frank's selection. Immediately I felt a few years younger, and high on life. So damn Hardcore I was back then. It is funny, but yet I am still Hardcore. Might be a tad podgier but Hardcore music still runs through my veins. I might not be able to do the specific dance for hours, but 10 mins of Hakkuh is still sufficient enough to show the young kids how to do it. So the tracklist is good, but is the mix good? Yes and no. The tracks are good, but there are a shit ton of mixing errors here. And I do mean a lot. You would maybe expect to hear them on a dodgy cassette from the early 90s, but not in the 2020s. I know Funky Frank was eager to make this mix, but it's not a flawless mix. That's a shame though. Maybe worth checking this mix out, if you want to feel slightly nostalgic. You might need to sieve through the errors. But if you want to do that, you might like this mix more than I do at the moment.

Sometimes I wonder how I could miss big sets, seeing as I'm online nearly 24/7. I could have missed this one because it's a Youtube video, and I don't watch videos as much as I should. But a good friend of mine (onderkoffer) has reminded me yet again I should be watching this. A must listen to set. And the main reason for that being that the set was done by the mighty Mark Archer. Yes, one half of Altern 8. And if you remember, I've interviewed him a couple of months ago. Worth checking out too! But for now it's his set at the Boiler Room in Nottingham. I've seen the concept before and it looks interesting and scary at the same time. The DJ is the centre of attention, and literally stands amongst the crowd. Not high up on a stage, but where the ravers are. This edition they asked Mark Archer to play an hour long set, and seeing him during the set, he seems to have a brilliant time. Loving the reactions from the crowd around him, but also making sure they were treated to the finest oldschool classics. And the crowd, well, they were having it. Mark behind the decks is a good promise. He's been around for decades and knows exactly how to please but also surprise the fans. When he throws in a classic that everyone loves, the crowd go mad. I'm getting you hyped up, and now it's time for you to see what kind of tracks Mark used for his set. Be warned: nostalgic feelings will emerge. 01. Xpansions - Elevation (Move Your Body) 02.

Johnny L - Hurt You So 25. The Prodigy - Out Of Space 26. Altern 8 - Frequency I've never seen a DJ laugh this much during a set. He was really enjoying himself. Mark has got such a lovely atmosphere around him: I reckon he's such a legend in real life. Not only music wise though. (just see how many people shake his hand or fist bump him). The set contains the finest yet well known records, but even though we've heard them a million times, they still rock. Hence why we hear them over and over again: these anthems take us back to the forgotten decade, the decade when everything was possible. We were free. We were alive. We were unique. And it's all down to music legends like Mark Archer. I can only give the man credit for a wicked set. Smiles for miles. And it's such a joy to hear these classics still being played out loud! These records do deserve a stage every week. I reckon the artists who made these never knew they were going to be played decades after. Some transitions are just beyond belief. But that's all down to experience: over the years he has perfected his craft, and he makes it look like a duddle. So easy. But don't forget, he's been active for decades! Mark is a legend. His set is amazing. His enthusiasm and dedication is just beyond belief. We need more sets like this one. With or without the mask (and Vicks), he's still enjoying the scene and leaves his mark on it. Mark Archer. The ledge! Best record? 'Technarchy'. No doubt about that. But also 'Night In Motion'. Wicked stuff.

I’m doing something unique, something I might have done only once or twice before: review a review. What does that involve, you might wonder? Well, it’s basically a mix I have already reviewed before being reviewed again. But would I review any ordinary mix? Nah, that’s not my cup of tea: only the finest of the finest will get a re-review. And I think that this one is one of the greatest Trance mixes I have ever heard in my life! It was released last year on DJ Midas’ Mixcloud page, and it had a fair amount of plays, but I reckon the majority were my fault. I have downloaded this and copied it onto my USB stick, but sadly now my car doesn’t have the option to use more than 1 USB port. So it’s either my phone (which I need for my satnav) or the USB stick. And I rather use the satnav, if I’m honest. But thankfully I can use the Mixcloud app to play it, and it gives me the opportunity to make every journey exciting. Does that mean my journeys are 4 hours long? Nah, not really. But still it makes it worth while. And every bloody time I press play again. I can’t contain my happiness. This is, without a doubt, the dopest mix out there. It contains the finest Anjunabeats records money can buy, and they were selected (and mixed) together beautifully by DJ Midas. Normally he’s all into UK Hardcore and Happy Hardcore, but for this mix he went a completely different route, and it’s a route he should take more often. I can not underline the fact that this mix is one of the greatest ever. But I will.  This is one of the greatest mixes ever!  There, I’ve done it. And now let’s focus on the tracklist. 01.  Oceanlab  – Satellite  (Marcus Schulz Coldharbour Remix)  02.  8 Wonders  – Sex On The Beach  (6″ Stilletto Mix)  03.  Purple Mood  – One Night In Tokyo  (Above & Beyond Remix)  04.  Tranquility Base  – Getting Away  (Original Mix)  05.  Above & Beyond  – Anjunabeach  (Nitrous Oxide Remix)  06.  Sunny Lax  – M.I.R.A.  (Daniel Kandi Remix)  07.  Greg Murray & Christian Rusch  – The Promise  (Ronski Speed Remix)  08.  Super8  – Cre8  (Original Mix)  09.  Jono Grant vs Mike Koglin  – Circuits  (Original Mix)  10.  Mike Koglin & Mark Pledge  – Ultraviolet  (Original Mix)  11.  Oceanlab  – Breaking Ties  (Above & Beyond Analogue Heaven Mix)  12.  Jer Martin  – Ten Minutes To Midnight  (Original Club Mix)  13.  Super8 & Tab  – Suru  (Original Mix)  14.  Signalrunners  – Meet Me In Montauk  (Oliver Smith Remix)  15.  Smith & Pledger  – Connected  (Original Mix)  16.  Oceanlab  – On A Good Day  (Daniel Kandi Remix)  17.  Signalrunners  – One Last Look  (Original Mix)  18.  Carrie Skipper  – Time Goes By  (Super8 Bangin’ Remix)  19.  Oceanlab  – Beautiful Together  (Signum Remix)  20.  Nitrous Oxide  – Red Moon Slide  (Original Mix)  21.  Endre  – Kallocain  (Original Mix)  22.  Aalto  – Rush  (Super8 vs Orkidea Remix)  23.  Aalto  – 5  (Nitrous Oxide Remix)  24.  Aalto  – Taurine  (Super8 Remix)  25.  Above & Beyond  – No One On Earth  (Smith & Pledger Remix)  26.  Kaste  – Desert Eagle  (Smith & Pledger Remix)  27.  Luminary  – Amsterdam  (Smith & Pledger Remix)  28.  Daniel Kandi  – Breathe  (Original Mix)  29.  Mike Koglin vs Jono Grant  – Sequential  (Original Mix)  30.  Mike Koglin & Mark Pledger  – All The Way  (Original Mix)  31.  Smith & Pledger  – Northern Lights  (Original Mix)  32.  Smith & Pledger  – Believe  (Original Mix)  33.  Tranquility Base  – Buzz  (Original Mix)  34.  Dan Stone  – Made In Bharain  (Original Mix)  35.  Nitrous Oxide  – North Pole  (Original Mix)  36.  Smith & Pledger  – Black 37.  Oceanlab feat Justine Suissa  – Sirens Of The Sea  (Above & Beyond Club Mix)  38.  Oceanlab  – Sky Falls Down  (Armin van Buuren Remix)  39.  Daniel Kandi  – Child 40.  Sunny Lax  – Misgrey  (Original Mix)  41.  Above & Beyond  – Can’t Sleep  (Signum Remix)   It was easy to compose this tracklist: I already wrote the review last year, so it was basically copy-paste. Anyway, the music in this tracklist is pure bliss. I’ve enjoyed every time I have heard this mix. And it’s one of those mixes I have heard many times, over and over, and it wouldn’t disappoint me. If there’s a heaven I picture the angels playing this mix. Or just this mix. This is heaven in its purest form. The quality of the tunes is beyond belief, but we are all aware that Anjunabeats releases excellent music. They create masterpieces (well, the artists do, but you know what I mean). They give artists the platform they deserve. And by doing so they give us the music we need to survive our endless life. But what a way to live your life: press play and you will enter a new dimension, one you have not discovered before. Last year I mentioned my favourite record, and it still is the same. Above & Beyond’s ‘Can’t Sleep’ is a good ‘un, but still nothing can beat this seriously amazing record ‘Meet Me In Montauk’, remixed by Oliver Smith. This, to me, is probably one of the greatest Trance records ever made. If we could experience euphoria, this track is the way to do it. Let the music cover you and take you on a magical trip. You don’t need mushrooms to get high, just this one track. Or get high on this mix. DJ Midas has made a stunning mix I HAD to share again. Underrated slightly, but there’s still time to appreciate quality. And also quantity: 41 records in 4 hours. No bullshit mixes with 1296293 records in 10 minutes, but thankfully nice long extended version. That’s how to do it. Press play to hear the best ever! Not a lot of mixes can top this one.

Gabberhead. A label from the 90s. One that originally ran from 1996 to 1997, according to the Discogs information available, and then got revived in 2018. The Gabberhead could never be buried, it had to come back to life. And the life it's been having since it was brought back, has been a tremendous one. I've been seeing a lot of posts online about new releases, and they bring me lots of joy. The early sound, kept alive in 2025. Hell yes! Gabber in the 90s came to an abrupt end toward the end of 1998. Deserved or not, it had to go underground to emerge as one of the fiercest sounds out there. But don't we sometimes wish the 90s sound was kept alive? Thankfully there are a few labels out there who do just that. Keeping it alive and kicking. And Gabberhead is just that one label that does that, and does it with brute force. Unbelievable amount of releases since they emerged out of the slumber. Now, the mix I've been listening to, was made by keytown connection. Unfortunately not seen or heard that name before, but keytown connection had a few releases on the label, and in this appreciation mix will you find a few of them. And obviously a few more. But don't let the amount of tracks in this mix fool you: it's only 53 minutes long. Long enough to keep you on your toes, and relive the 90s again.

A tracklist filled with so many unknown names... unbelievable! Not all of them are unknown to me, but what that does show me, is that there are a few people out there, who do love to keep the early 90s sound alive. And for them doing so, I give them all the love and appreciation. As it's a sound we do sorely miss. It is a fantastic mix with a lot of new stuff that is made to represent the 'old'. And the old always remains the finest. To me it feels like discovering an old album I've not heard in years, under a huge pile of dust. And after pressing play, you know it will all go down extremely well! Volume on max, weather atrocious (and thundering too), but you cannot spoil my gabber enthusiasm with anything negative. This is the happiest I can be today. The Keytown Connection has picked some wicked records here. Including their own. So many familiar chords from the 90s, so many familiar kicks, drums, and many more. They suit the 90s extremely well. The track that got me the most hyped up, is of course the first one in this mix. 'Drifting Failing'. So happy, but oh so good. Just the right amount of bounce and oomph. A fantastic mix to end the week with. And remember kids, Hardcore will never die. Nor will Gabber, but deep down inside we already knew that! Ps. one side note. This is volume 2. Where's volume 1?

I am a huge fan of Sied van Riel. And I'm not kidding. I'm rielly a massive fan. Since I discovered his 'In Riel Time' trailer (which was for his upcoming album back in the day), I was hooked. I freaking LOVED that album, and every album he's rieliesed ever since. His sets and his mixes have been tremendously great, and a couple of days ago, I went onto Amazon Music to find them all, and I was so happy to discover his first 'Rielism' album on there. I had to give it another listen, and one listen turned out to be at least 45 listens up until now. Sied van Riel is a legend. He's been a bit quiet over the last couple of years, not really sure what happened. But his albums sure aren't quiet. They, to me, are the greatest things to have come out of the Trance scene. Sied van Riel is a gift to us all, and his album surely embraced his impact on the Trance scene back in 2011. Can't believe this album is 14 years old! Hell, his 'In Riel Time' album is 16 years old?! Has it been 16 years since I discovered his music? Obviously, me being a fan of Sied, I've got all his albums, listened to his songs over and over on YouTube and Soundcloud, and even owned a bit of his merchandise, but unfortunately the dryer shrunk my clothes, or I've gained weight. I blame the dryer. From a musical point of view, I am in awe of this man and his music. He's made so many awesome records up until he gone quiet. This first 'Rielism' CD is everything you wanted to hear. Obviously the discs came as continuous mixed CDs, but if you want to hear the songs in full length, click the player below, and have a listen. You will not be disappointed.

To me, this is a glorious mix. Perfect at any given time. Sied did his best to compose this album, and the result is an astonishing album, one to be proud of. Certainly something to be proud of. I've had this mix on repeat (both CDs) for days now. The Sun is glazing through the blinds, and the heat inside this newbuild is unbearable, but the music makes it worthwhile. You can just imagine yourself, on a beach or a club, hearing these tunes. Sun on your skin, drink in one hand, and the other hand way up in the air. This is Heavenly music, that's for sure. And the album is a masterpiece. It is as good as 'In Riel Time' and all the other albums in the 'Rielism' series. But unfortunately they came to an end, and also Sied's music career. I've had a quick look, and he decided to give it up, and lead a 'normal' life. Respect for the man, but hopefully he does know how much of a loss it is, not having his input in the music scene. Get rid of all the other DJs, give me Sied any day! As this is a 2 disc CD, let me pick one from each album. And you might think it's difficult, but it's dead easy. There are two tracks so good, they outweigh themselves compared to the other tracks. 'Circular Progression' by Vinson. My Gawd, it's like the angels are singing to me. Beautiful record. Without a shadow of a doubt, the best of CD 1. 'ID 22' has to be the best from the second disc. What a catchy tune that is. Won't leave my head for days. It's sad to see Sied not being a producer, DJ and label owner, but I hope he's happy. And I'm happy if he's happy. At least we've got the Rielism CDs. They are just so damn magical. To me, and that's a personal opinion, they are the finest Trance CDs out there. If you haven't checked this CD out yet, you should do that. I urge you to do so. You will not be disappointed.

It's been a fantastic weekend. The weather was perfect, and we even found the time to have a BBQ. And during the BBQ, guess what was on? A smashing Trance mix. Whilst a lot of people are watching Glastonbury, I am not. I am easily entertained with a solid Trance mix. I don't need anything else. And that's exactly what happened today. I discovered this mix a few weeks ago, but only found the time today to give it a go. And it was certainly worth it. At the beginning of this year I reviewed a mix by Legacy Trance, and I think that was my introduction to the channel. Now, a few month into 2025, it's time for the follow up review. This time a brand spanking new mix with some awesome Trance classics. Can't go through a week without listening to at least one awesome mix, and it is looking great for Legacy Trance's mix. The tracklist is a seriously insane looking one. When I say this mix is good, I do mean it. It might be extremely hot today and the next few days, but let's raise the temperature even higher. Make sure you are in an airco cooled environment, because it's going to be hot. Obviously not helping that this mix is dope AF. It's got some serious bangers in here. They are the classics I wanted to hear, and I urge everyone to listen to. This is paradise, in a 2 hour and 22 minute long mix. 01 Sander Kleinenberg - My Lexicon 02 Ernesto vs Bastian - Lonely People 03 John 00 Fleming vs M.I.K.E - Dame Blanche 04 Sayla - Second Thoughts 05 System F - Needlejuice 06 Robert Nickson - Twisted by Design 07 Moon Project - Housebuilder 08 Apollonia - Andromeda Heights 09 Robert Gitelman - Children of the Sun 10 M.I.K.E - Fuego Caliente 11 Active Sight - Adrenaline 12 Mesh - Persuasion 13 Marksun & Brian - Neno Itome (Stoneface & Terminal Remix) 14 George Hales - Autumn Falls 15 Free State - Release 16 Jochen Miller - India 17 Fred Baker Vs Nyram - Confirmation 18 Rank 1 - Awakening 19 The Crazy Drummer - Runner (Crazy Drummer Remix) 20 Steve Birch - Spaced Out 21 Drax - Amphetamine (2001 Rework) 22 Second Sun - Empire (TPOD Mix by PVD) I instantly feel 20 years younger again. This is a serious mix with some awesome tracks. Yes, it even includes a few I've not heard before, but don't worry, I am very open-minded and can appreciate everything. This is the perfect mix to listen to when you are preparing food for the BBQ, or when you are in charge of the BBQ. We live in a new estate and not many people were around, so we could enjoy the music. At the same time, the food was sizzling and getting ready to be devoured, and the whole garden was blue. The sun was also beating on our bodies, but that's nothing to worry about. As long as the music is good, every negative becomes a positive. There are a lot of wicked tunes in here. And what a way to start your mix. 'My Lexicon'. Christ, that's a solid start. And it goes on and on, track after track. The two which stood out the most, were 'Children Of The Sun' and 'Confirmation'. You don't see them that often in other mixes. Are they under appreciated? To me, they are the best two tracks in this mix, bar none. It's a fantastic mix, and I cannot wait for the next one. I do believe Legacy Trance's mix was the first one to kick off the new Year, and I hope that channel keeps on releasing new mixes. I am addicted, and I love it. I need more Trance. More, I tell you.

Saturday evening. It is hot, and clammy. And today, a lot of people have gone raving. It is that time of the year again: temperatures are going up, and people leave their houses to go to these wonderful places, and they let themselves go. It's party time, and we've deserved it. I hope all these people rave safely, and stay lubricated (=hydrated). For more it would be an amazing thing to do, raving, but I'm getting old, more miserable, and cannot tolerate people anymore. Phones down, hands in the air, and stomp your feet. That's my motto. Don't need a video of the DJ: there will be an afterparty video on YouTube within a week! Just enjoy yourselves. So, instead of going out, I'm sitting at home, thinking of the good ol' days. The 90s. They were fantastic years. And I still regard them as the best years of Dance music. Of course, Gabber/Hardcore came out of nowhere and dominated my life since 1993, but Dance music in general was so damn good. For today's mix, we will focus on Gabber/Hardcore, and this small Indie label from Amsterdam... you might have heard of it: Mokum Records. Of course, I am kidding. Who doesn't know Mokum? I always liked the music from both Rotterdam and Amsterdam, but over the last few years have I discovered within myself that the music from Amsterdam had the most influence on me, growing up. And J.O.E.'s latest mix, which is solely focussed on Mokum, has got all the big tracks in here, which I truly adored as a kid/teenager, and now as a 40+ year old man, I still adore. And they are still going strong. No rest for the wicked, eh? Neither does J.O.E. rest, as he keeps on releasing awesome mixes on Soundcloud. But what's in store today? What did he use for his Mokum mix? 1. DJ Chosen Few feat MC Lunatic - F**king Hardcore #7 2 . DJ Chosen Few - Name Of My DJ 3. DJ Chosen Few - All You Motherf**kers 4.

DJ Chosen Few - Paradize Outro My youth in a nutshell. Christ, how many of us have danced/raved with these tunes being played at max volume? And how many of us would consider at least one of these to be the best Hardcore record of all time? Yes, you would state 'Name Of The DJ' to be the best, if not one of the greatest Hardcore anthems of all time. I do underline that statement. Of course with a mix that contains 39 records, there will be multiple excellent records, and during the 90s one of the records that dominated and penetrated my eardrums the most, was 'Guyver' by Tellurian. 'Used & Abused' was also a big hit. I don't need to mention 'I Wanna Be A Hippy', that's too obvious. But to me, going back to the Earthquake CDs, 'Who's Afraid Of The Noise' by Ceasefire. Completely forgot this one even existed. How good is that track? J.O.E. made a fabulous mix with some serious Hardcore bangers. Mokum Records surely was one of the greatest labels in the Netherlands during the 90s, and is still loved and appreciated by many. This mix will surely be on repeat for the upcoming days. Not being helped that the temperatures are going to be high, and this being blasted at me... but you only live once, enjoy it as much as you can. And this mix, I highly enjoyed it! DJ: J.O.E.

It is Saturday, and it's boiling hot. Not just because of this mix, but in general. The temperatures have gone up after a few OK days, but now they are back to the low 30s. And it's windy at the same time. So no party in the garden, nor a party indoors. Unless you've got a pool. In that case, go bonkers! Have a blast, have a party. And I've got the perfect mix for your pool party, one I've been listening to since 8am. You can thank me later. It's a mix by TranceAdikt. But truth be told, aren't we all addicts? Addicted to Trance music, right? Unless you are a die-hard hater of Trance. I don't envy you. How can you live your life without knowing the beauty, the harmonious, the glorious Trance anthems? I couldn't, and wouldn't want to imagine a world in which I could not hear Trance music at all. That would be a living hell for me. Truth be told, it's not my most favourite genre (which is Hardcore), but Trance is second. I found this mix on the TranceFormerz Soundcloud channel (funny wordplay, love it), and there's a lot more where that came from. I think they are up to the sixth instalment of this series, but they've got so much more to offer. The reason why I chose this mix, is because it contains the word 'Anthems'. And I do love me some great Trance anthems. And according to the title, it's got 'the anthems'. I am curious, and want to see/hear more. Here's the tracklist, if you are curious too! 01 - BiXX - Master The Mind (Extended Mix) 02 - Peter van Wave - Mystra (Extended Version) 03 - Nick Van Kukaj - Eagle Strike (Extended Mix) 04 - Peter van Wave - Mystra (Extended Version) 05 - Sam Laxton - I Wanna Dance (Extended Mix) 06 - Yohai Mor - Melody of My Heart (STNX & BANKBURN Extended Remix) 07 - Darren Aitken - An Angel's Call (Extended Mix) 08 - ID - ID 09 - Paipy - Reflection (Extended Mix) 10 - Paipy - Ocean (Extended Mix) 11 - Casey Rasch - All For Us (Extended Mix) 12 - Asteroid - Flow State ( Extended Mix) 13 - Mario Moon & Dave AirmaX - Desire (Extended Mix) 14 - Solarstone - Seven Cities (Paul Steiner Rework) 15 - Sinéad O’Connor vs. Rank 1 - Nothing Compares 2 U vs. Airwave (Ronski Speed Mashup) 16 - Exouler - Far Away (Extended Mix) 17 - Talla 2XLC & Roger Shah - Perfection (Extended Mix) 18 - The Space Brothers - Shine (Jorn van Deynhoven Extended Remix) 19 - BBE - 7 Days & One Week (Nicholson Remix) 20 - Underworld - Born Slippy (Jorn van Deynhoven Rework) 21 - ID - ID I thoroughly enjoyed these anthems. But, before we proceed, I had a different 'anthem' in mind when I read the title. They are still solid as a rock though, don't get me wrong. But a different kind of anthem. Hey ho, at least it got me through today, and hopefully it will do the same to you. I've got to be honest, not heard the majority of these songs before. And I wish I did not hear the 'Nothing Compares 2 U vs Airwave' song. Christ, that isn't my favourite song. It's the complete opposite. All the tracks are good, but that one isn't my jam. It kind of sucks. Sorry Ronski Speed, but that's not a good song. On their own, yes. Blended together, no. The one track that I really liked, is untitled. It's the last record in this mix. I'm guessing the title is 'Yeke Yeke', but that track really does something to me. Reminds me of the original, and the original is a dope ass song. TranceAdikt has made a very interesting mix. One minor song, but don't let that put a downer on the whole mix. It's just one song, and you are getting 21 in total! Hell, maybe you will even like the one I didn't. Just close your eyes and enjoy this mix, and let the Summer of 2025 hit you hard!

It is Wednesday, and I'm off today. Which is obviously a glorious thing. I'm highly recommend taking a day mid week off. But we've got family coming over, so we have been awake for hours now, making the house shiny and sparkly. During those chores, I require some hard to the core music, to give me the power and energy to do the job, and he job needs to be done properly. Thank the Lord for Soundcloud and one of the latest mixes I've found, as that one brought me a lot of joy and happiness. I am a DJ Promo fan. I love his Millennium work. That shit is just next level. He has been the pioneer we needed during those rough years for Hardcore, and he gave us everything our hearts desired. But we often forget that he started making music mid 90s. Actually, according to Discogs, he started back in 1992. So he's been around for quite a while now. And those 90s anthems tend to be forgotten, mostly. And for no apparent reason. I fell in love with DJ Promo's music when he released 'Shut Up!', which was 1997. And stayed in love ever since. It's been an amazing journey, and as much as I love his Millennium music, the 90s should not be underestimated. He has made some wicked anthems which have stood the test of time. And as I grew up with his music, he deserves more recognition for his 90s music. Thankfully DJ Ad made a mix which contains only his early Hardcore work. A short yet very sweet mix to listen to. DJ Promo - I Wanna Freak You DJ Promo - Burning 4 U DJ Promo - This Underground Sound DJ Promo - Bad Boy DJ DJ Promo - Blastin The System DJ Promo - Feel The Vibe DJ Promo - Like A Maniac DJ Promo - Underground Wayz DJ Weirdo & Dr. Phil Omanski - One Tribes James (DJ Promo Mix) Brian Acardy - Ya Gangsta Music DJ Promo - Warface DJ Promo - Thunder In My Heart 3 Steps Ahead - I'm A H.C.M.F. (DJ Promo Mix) DJ Promo - Shit To Die For DJ Promo - Sing It Louder DJ Promo - Can't Hold Me Down DJ Promo & Solo - Psycho Style DJ Promo - Killerz DJ Promo - The Incredible DJ Promo - Shut Up! DJ Promo - Bring It Raw! The Viper - Hardcore Gangster (DJ Promo Remix) The Judges feat DJ Promo - I Am The Law What a trip down memory lane! These are the classic Promo records I grew up with. And they have stood the test of time. They are fantastic, and as much as they sound different to the Millennium sound, in which he became the leader, I sometimes prefer the 90s sound. Hell, even he made the decision to make and release a new song, which sounds like the 90s Promo style (Thunder In My Heart). It personal preference. You might not prefer his 90s style, and prefer his Millennium sound. Or you could love both. It all boils down to personal preference, and to me any Promo anthem suits me. The 90s sound is dope as fuck, as it gave him the platform to develop his legendary Promo files anthems. But he had to start somewhere, and that was during the glorious 90s. DJ Ad picked a lot of wicked anthems. Too many to choose from. It's a short mix, only 46 minutes long, but it's a glorious one. Some well known, some more obscure anthems. And the stuff which got played during his set at Mysteryland 1998 Outdoor edition, that's the stuff I wanted to hear. 'Underground Wayz' is such a wicked yet underrated anthem. Promo has been, and will always remain, a true pioneer. During the 90s he came, entered the scene, and grew into the legend. If anyone would have asked Promo in 1996 if he was going to be the leader of the next phase of Hardcore music (Millennium), would he have known for that to become the truth? Probably not.... but we are glad he became our hero.

The weekend is about to end, another working week only a few hours away. Time has flown too damn fast, but at least we can look ahead to a glorious week, with temperatures nice in the mid to high 20s. Temperatures are going up, and with the pleasant weather ahead, the music that accompanies this week, must be as cool and must contain Summer vibes. Leave that to DJ A.K. and his awesome Soundcloud channel. It's like he knew what is coming, and what mix we needed to hear. Trance always embraces the hot temperatures, and I don't know why that is. Maybe because of the vibes it generates, or just in general. Trance seem to have this atmosphere surrounding it, which makes me feel like it works best during the Summer period. And on the 20th of this month, it will officially be the Summer of 2025, so perfect timing, mr A.K. Perfect timing. His channel is the best one out there, with the most random mixes. Whatever his mood is, the mix always embraces his mood. From Trance to UK Hardcore, from Jungle to Drum & Bass, from Gabber to Hard Dance. His channel has got everything you need, if you are into those kinds of music. I could have gone for something harder and rougher, but the Sun was blasting through the window, and I thought ''fuck it, I need to mellow down slightly''. No Hardcore for me today, nor the next few days. But what's in store for us all? Well, these are the records he has selected: 01. Ayla - Ayla (Veracocha Remix) 02. System F - Out Of The Blue (Angelz Remix) 03. Gouryella - Gouryella 04. Liquid Child - Diving Faces 05. Cygnus X - The Orange Theme (Moonman's Orange Juice Mix) 06. Alice Deejay - Better Off Alone (DJ Jam X & DuMonde Remix) 07. Tillmann Uhrmacher feat Peter Ries - Free (Club Mix) 08. Push - Universal Nation 99 (Oliver Lieb Remix) 09. Olive - You're Not Alone (Bobina Megadrive Remix) 10. Chakra - Love Shines Through 11. Lady Tom - It's A Dream (DJ Red 5 vs Hypertrophy Remix) 12. Ascension - Someone (Vocal Mix) 13. Motorcycle - As The Rush Comes (Armin Van Buuren's Universal Religion Remix) 14. Babe Instinct - Disco Babes From Out Of Space (Lange Remix) 15. Westbam vs Red Jerry - Wizards Of The Sonic ( Matt Darey Remix) 16. Gigi D'Agostino - I'll Fly With You (L'Amour Toujours) (Vicious Vocal Mix) 17. The Generator - Where Are You Now 18. Mario + Presents More - All I Need (Hardbeat Mix) 19. Mike Koglin - The Silence You cannot go wrong with these songs, you simply cannot. They have become all time classics, and will be listened to long after we've left this Earth. They are genuinely timeless classics, and I'm happy to have lived in the decade during which they were released, and played at all the parties I went to. But A.K. made some changes. Some of these records aren't the original versions, or the well known versions. And that surprises me: I thought I'd heard everything there is to hear, when it comes to Trance. But it's a pleasant change to hear, as these versions work well too. Maybe the reason I've not heard them before is because they are slightly underrated? I do like the 'Better Off Alone'' song, remixed by Jam X & DuMonde, and ''You're Not Alone'', remixed by Bobina Megadrive, but the one that is a true classic, ''As The Rush Comes''. Not heard this version before, but I love it. I love it a lot. Those vocals are just next level, right? It's a brilliant mix for the upcoming week. Press play right now, and let this mix guide you through a very hot and sweaty week. You've deserved it. Hell, we all deserve it! More of this, please. Mr. A.K., more of these gorgeous Trance mixes!

In April of this year I discovered a new channel on Soundcloud. One that goes by the name of Dave Junglist. And his promo mix for an event focussed on the oldskool was very tasty, very great to listen to. But now he's stepped it up a notch, and gone all out. And when I say all out, I do mean all out. A Slammin Vinyl history mix, focussed on the year 1992 to 1995. And trust me when I say, those are some amazing years. Slammin Vinyl was, and stil is a very prolific label that has done a lot for the raving community. In 1992 I was only 8 or 9 years old, so not fully aware of what Rave music was, and what kind of influence it would have on me years later, but I'm glad I eventually caught up on the awesome music that was released one this label. And of course, the music made by Red Alert & Mike Slammer, that's just next level stuff. Not really sure what happened to these two legendary producers, but after 1996 nothing was released anymore. Anyone have an idea what happened? Dave Junglist is taking us back to the wonderful years. And I'm jealous of everyone who was old enough at the time, who went raving like no one did before, and danced until their feet started to bleed, and the sun came up again. And also the whistle crew, they were there too. Maybe we can attribute the drugs element to the early days too. But I'm jealous if you did rave to these tunes when they were new, fresh, and exciting.

Dave picked some amazing records. And if you are a true raver, you must love these and adore these records. If you go to any oldskool focussed rave, you will certainly hear these anthems. They are still getting people on the dancefloor, and I might not go to that many raves anymore, but I still dance to these tunes in my living room. Fuck it, raver for life, Hardcore for life. These tunes are so awesome, decades after their initial release, they still have the power to get me moving. The fast paced elements are just awesome. Red Alert & Mike Slammer took raving to the next level. This isn't the first mix I've listened to, which focusses on Slammin Vinyl, and it won't be the last. I hope to hear more of these, for however long I might be alive. This is music made for the raving community, and they have become timeless classics. No messing about, just straight into the Hardcore. You would expect me to say 'Ruff!!' or ''Original Bad Boy'', but you are wrong. 'Ruffer!!!' is the anthem I'm into today. Dark and rough, that's for sure. They don't make them like they used to, and that's unfortunate. Another wicked mix by Dave, keep those mixes coming. More please, pretty please?! Were 1992 to 1995 not the greatest years for us ravers, music wise? Yes, I might have been too young, but I can still vouch for the tracks being much better than whatever is coming out today.

Januskopf. That's a highly unusual name, but a name which is making waves in the music scene. His first two UKHC mixes were very well received by yours truly, and 1 month ago did he upload a set which he did in October of 2024 at UNIT in Breda (The Netherlands). And it's a fantastic one. No, it's not UKHC or early UKHC, but early Hardcore! A 3 hour long set, all vinyl, and all Hardcore & Gabber anthems. A surprising set I wasn't ready for, but I highly appreciated from the first play. From a mix focussed on the Millennium UKHC sound, to Trance records from the legendary Trance Energy event, to this glorious early Hardcore set. I'm reliving my youth today! And it's a fantastic trip down memory lane. Januskopf has selected 58 records for his vinyl only set. I don't know much about the location, as I've never been or heard of it before (I have heard of Breda though. Would be a tad weird for a Dutch person NOT to know Breda). At least I've got the set, which is more important. The 90s were so damn good. You cannot describe it. It's like expressing emotions. How to explain them to others? So damn difficult. But to us, it's a way of life. Hardcore to the bone. That's for sure. And the love for Hardcore only grows when you see and hear mixes like this one, where the DJ has gone all out and dug deep in his collection. And he finds all the gems. I mean ALL the gems: the big anthems, the forgotten ones, and the ones I've not even seen before. Bring back my youth right now. And, if possible, can I gain my youthful body too? Raving from 8pm until 8am, that might be too much of a stretch for my body.... 01. Ramirez - Terapia (D.J. Ricci Mix) 02. DJ Caligula - Piano Junkie (Fab's Gabber Mix) 03. Joe Inferno - Hysteria 04.

With a lot of acne and spots, but those were my younger years. Now I'm just fat and not very healthy. I need more exercises. I need more raves. Or go to the gym and play very aggressive music, like this mix. Januskopf has picked some insane records. And of course did he add a few of his own tracks in here. Not heard the majority of them before, but pleasantly surprised on how well they blended into the mix. I could have sworn they were made in the 90s, but they weren't. A fresh take on the early Hardcore sound. I love it. Yes, these were the tracks that I grew up with, and to pick a favourite is very tricky, but I might give it to 'The Box'. Closely followed by 'Hardcore To Da Bone'. That's just the ultimate crowd pleasing anthem, right? If you want to hear 3 hours of early Hardcore/Gabber, this is your mix. You will enjoy it. Just sit back and put it on max volume, you won't be disappointed. You will be thoroughly pleased!

Trance Energy. Still to this day I'm not sure if I've been or not I must have been, right? I was such an ID&T fan back in the day, and I've been to a few of their events. But most of the late 90s and early 2000nd were a blur, and I've drank a lot of alcoholic beverages. I do believe I've been, but not 100% sure. And it's also not proven, as we didn't have mobile phones and required to take images constantly for Instagram, TikTok or Snapchat. No evidence unfortunately. So we have to assume. Obviously I grew up with the legendary name everywhere. But it started off very 'small', back in 1999. Slowly over the years it grew to a phenomena, an event you had to visit, if you loved Trance music. Over the years the organisation made some changes, even changed the name to 'Energy', to support other styles, but that did not do the event any justice. It faded away into obscurity, but it was never forgotten. The event had so many memorable anthems, and to many this event was the pinnacle of Trance music during the early 2000nd. I do love a set that is focussed on Trance Energy. The songs were just on another level, and so damn powerful. The Soundcloud channel Addicted To Trance uploaded this mix a few days ago, and I've already devoured the mix. Top play of course, and I will do so until my last breath. I am a die-hard gabber, but Trance is just more sublime to my ears, and I've got fond memories of those ID&T raves. The kids nowadays don't know what they are missing.

Cosmic Gate – The Truth (Original Mix) Name something that can top these wonderful Trance anthems. You can't. And there's a good reason for it. Trance from 2000 to 2010 was amazing. So many compilations did I own, and these records were on each and every one of them. Christ, this is our magnus opus. This I can truly consider the greatest songs made during my youth. Yes, there might be one or two not so great, but still good enough. Why did ID&T kill Trance Energy? Damn them. Damn them. It wasn't worth it, pursuing a different kind of event. Trance was, and still is, the greatest out there. But it is what it is, and we cannot change the past. Nor would I want to, as it would have meant I would loose these awesome records. And they are awesome. Hearing those glorious 'Such Is Life' vocals, they still give me goose bumps. And 'Twisted', still a banger. 'Superstring', one of the greatest Trance anthems ever. 'The Nightfly' an underrated classic. But I've got to give it to 'The Truth' by Cosmic Gate. I can still hear that song, nearly at the end of the Sensation megamix, and the crowd screaming for merci. That is without a doubt, the best record in this mix. And one so powerful, it will be remember for generations to come, as one of the greatest Trance anthems ever. It's a great mix. A few tiny errors, but nothing to write home about. Go and jump on it, and take a trip down memory lane, when we still had Trance Energy. I am sad now.

The third instalment of the HTID series has finally been uploaded. Well, it's been nearly 2 weeks, and I've only found the time today to sit down and write about it, but at least it's not years later. I've reviewed the previous two mixes, both made by Ramos & Protocol, and now the third instalment. And as we all love the legendary lady with wings and what she stood for, it is going to be a pleasant journey, a journey lasting roughly an hour and a half. Are you ready to go back in time and relive the glorious years? I might say something that can be considered controversial, but wasn't HTID the biggest brand in the UKHC scene? Yes, it wasn't the only one, but certainly the biggest, right? Hell, at one stage I even purchased a t-shirt and walked around the Netherlands (probably the only one in NL). And who remembers those event cassettes/CDs packages? I was so proud to have lived during the time those legendary events took place, and those wonderful anthems were released. Time has changed and so has the music, and kids won't know how good we had it. And the scene was dominated by so many great names, such like Hixxy, Darren Styles, Re-Con, Breeze, Chris Unknown, Gammer, Dougal, Squad-E, Sy, and of course the two DJs who made this mix, Protocol & Ramos. And the funny thing is, these anthems stood the test of time. And everyone will be happy to hear them again. It will also make people sad, because they come from a time long gone, but at least we've got Soundcloud and we can relive the moments. As a proper Dutchman who didn't have many people around him who understood the music, I might have felt all alone in that little country, but at least I knew that there was an island, not far away, one that I could visit at any given time (before Brexit, of course), and rave the night away. Not knowing I was going to live in the UK many years later. But you can consider it my destiny. Going to live in the country who created and embraced UKHC. And still happy to live here. 1 - Infextious - Amigos (Breeze & Styles Hardcore Mix) 2 - Darren Styles feat Francis Hill - Come Running 3 - Arkane Silver - Broken Hearted (Supreme & Sunset Regime Remix) 4 - Hixxy, Dougal & Gammer - Phaze 2 Phaze 5 - Darren Styles - Flashlight 6 - Breeze & Lost Witness - Rise Again 7 - Paul EP & Smithy - All I Wanna Do (Hixxy Remix) 8 - Azora - Tell You A Secret (Breeze Remix) 9 - Re-Con, Ramos & Punch feat Deanne - Lost In Love 10 - Ramos, Mob & Protocol feat Drew - Guiding Star (Hands Up Mix) 11 - Armin Van Buuren - In and Out Of Love (Hixxy, Sy & Unknown Remix) 12 - Breeze vs Barley feat Taya - Falling (Breeze Remix) 13 - Hixxy & Chris Unknown - Konfusion 14 - Styles & Breeze feat Re-Con - Love Stick Crazy 15 - Ramos, Mob & Protocol - Signs 16 - Agnes - Release Me (Squad-E Remix) 17 - Hixxy, Ramos & Punch - You’re Gonna Love Me 18 - Sy & Chris Unknown feat Lou Lou - Right Here (Squad-E Remix) 19 - Hixxy, Ramos & Protocol - Open You Eyes 20 - Paradise - See The Light (Sy & Unknown 2007 Remix) This is a very good looking tracklist. This makes my heart melt. And unfortunately we have to conclude the following statement: they don't make them like they used to. And that's a fact. So many of these artists have moved on, and the sound coming out of the scene hasn't resembled the glorious days, it has progressed and moved forward. And as good as that might be, those golden HTID years cannot be beaten. Boy, I miss them. Ramos & Protocol keep on creating damage to my eardrums. Mix after mix, and as it's a new HTID mix, it is another one which will demolish my eardrums. And speakers too, as you cannot listen to this at low volume. Max the fuck out of your volume, and let yourself go. There are too many great anthems in here, but speaking out of experience, I have to conclude that there's one record in this mix which will get EVERY raver on the dancefloor. When this one is played, the crowd will loose their minds. And it's a no-brainer: 'See The Light'. That's' the anthem for our generation. Fantastic anthem, and in many people's 'top 10' list, for sure. Another solid mix. Keep them coming, and let us never forget those wonderful HTID years. Can anyone bring them back, please? Pretty please?

20 more days until the official Summer starts. That's not that far away, and if you are outside today, you'll experience a nice bit of sun. It's actually very pleasant today. It feels like the Summer is just around the corner (which it is), and that it's going to be a very good one. Hell, global warming makes everything hotter anyway, so we will have a lot of heat throughout the Summer of 2025. Yeah, the grass in your garden might be fucked up due to the lack of rain, but at least we can look tanned, right? I don't know how many years it has been, but it's been a long time. I honestly can't remember the last time I listened to a Louk mix, or when I even reviewed it. But it must have been over 5 years ago. And if I'm not mistaken, it was a Techno mix. The years have flown by, and so has Louk. But thankfully I keep on seeing more and more on Soundcloud, and his latest mix, which is a very Summer focussed mix, is one I had to grab and haven't stopped listening to. This mix has been on repeat, as it's one of those mixes that keeps you going. And it also makes you happier. Come on, just look at the little smiley fella in the picture above, in front of a rainbow. He looks happy, and you can't blame him: the music Louk has picked for this mix is excellent. So great music, a happy chappie on the accompanying image, and it's also a free download: what else could you wish for?

To the early 2000nd. Unexpectedly, but oh so damn worth it. I am a Trance lover since the late 90s, and hearing these glorious sounds again, it just melts me on the inside. And Louk's selection contains a lot of the lesser known anthems. And I like that. They might not get played that often, but they should get all the recognition they deserve, And hopefully through this mix they do?! Seriously, this takes me back to the days when I raved until the early hours in the morning at events such as Innercity, Sensation, Mysteryland, and a lot of local events. These would be the tunes I would hear. They might sound slightly dated, but they still get me going. I have been listening to this mix over and over today, and every single play, Louk's mix makes me happy again. A tremendous selection. But the one that gives me the most goose bumps, and the best 'underground 'vibe of this year, is 'So What' by Bug, Commie mix. What a wonderful anthem. Is this underrated or what? This is a masterpiece and it's one of those records that you hear once, close your eyes, repeat the song, and you are back on the dancefloor again, 20+ years ago. That dark and edgier sound, they don't make them like that anymore. 20 days until the Summer. Can't fucking wait. But until then, I'll be putting this mix on constant repeat. What are you going to do about it, eh? Join me, and be as happy as the chappie in the picture!

I am currently experiencing Summer withdrawals. The last couple of weeks have been very good, and it might have been a bit too damn warm for my body, but at least I got a taste of what's about to come. The Summer of 2025 might be the best one in a very long time. The weather is going to be excellent (let's remain positive) and our holiday is already booked, and I cannot wait to visit Malta, and experience an all-inclusive resort. Tropical temperatures, sunny atmosphere, drinks galore, and fantastic music. You cannot go through the Summer without banging tunes, right? And now I am enjoying life, with the sun beaming through the window, and the sky looking calm and collective. It's not technically true, as the wind is ridiculously fast and rigorous at the moment, but inside the house, I am fine. I am content. I need something to match my mood, the atmosphere I am currently in. And that's when I remembered: Mike Air, a.k.a. Iridium DJ. He has a few of these summer mixes on his Soundcloud, why not grab one of them and see if it takes me away (in my mind) to a sunny destination. He made the mix in 2023, and it's got some serious dancefloor anthems. And yes, they are Ibiza classics. You couldn't wish for anything else. Yes, you could maybe try and wish for more, and guess what? Mike has got more mixes on his Soundcloud. Nearly 7000 mixes. Not his own stuff though, but enough for us to keep us going for the next 65 years lol. And there's a lot of cool stuff, if this isn't enough, and you want to hear more. But for now, let's go forward in time, and close our eyes. Let's imagine how awesome the Summer of 2025 is going to be, with these songs being played in the background! 01. Olav Basoski vs Cece Penniston - Finally Opium (Elroy Mix) 02. Seawind Project feat Emily McEwan - Free (Knee Deep Peaktime Mix) 03. Toddy Terry All Stars - Get Down (Warren Clarke Remix) 04.

M r . Hermano - Free As The Morning Sun (Seamus Haji & Paul Emanuel Remix) 09. Dr. Kucho! feat Jodie - Belmondo Rulez 2.0 (It's All About You) (Original Vocal Mix) 10. Da Slammin' Phrogz - Something About The Music (Kamasutra Extended Mix) 11. Capriccio - Everybody Get Up (Jazz-N-Groove Nu Disco Vocal) 12. Shik Stylko feat Tyree Cooper - Groove You Out Tonight (Grant Nelson & Brian Tappert's Soulcity Edit) 13. Michel De Hey vs Grooveyard - Compound (Original Mix) 14. Spirit ID - Arabian Night (Olav Basoski Remix) 15. Warren Clarke - Everybody (Main Mix) 16. Eric Prydz - Slammin' (Axwell Dub Mix) After listening to this mix multiple times, I am truly already experiencing the upcoming Summer. The songs are nice, hot and sensual, and during the set, the temperature goes up to astronomical levels. It's insane to hear these songs and be transported to somewhere sunny within a split second. But before I give you my rating, let's discuss the best song in this mix. It is one I've not heard before, but what a banging tune that is: ''Get Down''. The vocals just take this song to the next level, and it is extremely catchy. I am not kidding: just listen to the song and try to get it out of your head. Try it, and you will fail. This mix gives me early 2000nd ID&T vibes. When they decided to move away from Hardcore and embraced everything else, they released a few fantastic mix CDs, and Mike's mix just reminds me of those glorious CDs. Was it called ''ID&T Yearmix'' or something similar? Another album which has similar vibes is the promotional album by Camel, the cigarette brand, released through ID&T. An album I truly love and admire. Similar sort of vibes. It's a grand mix. It took me 2 years to find, but at least I did find it. And I'm really happy to sit here, in my comfortable bubble, enjoying life, and wishing for the Summer to start. Bring the heat, I would say. But until then, let Mike's mix be the heat for now.

Mind Control is back with a brand spanking new mix. Not with new music, but old music. That sounds quite negative, doesn't it? It sound demeaning, but that's not how I mean it. Old music is always better anyway, no matter how you phrase it. And when it comes to Hardstyle, nothing can compete with the early stuff, you know the good old stuff. Today's mix is filled with the early stuff 2 hours of Hardstyle, and 35 records. You couldn't wish for anything else today, right It was uploaded 11 days ago, and I'm joint first in plays on Soundcloud. Why, you might ask? Well, even though it's a stupid question, but I do appreciate Hardstyle a lot. Especially when it entered my life toward the beginning of the Millennium. It has remained an important and crucial part in my life. Not ignoring the fact that I'm getting older, and before you know it, I'll be in my 80s, but I will still be rocking the anthems from the early days. This is the second instalment, and strangely enough, I missed the first instalment. I might need to visit their channel to see if I can find the first mix in this series. And I also have to judge that one to this one. Which one is better? Which anthems suit me more? But that will be hard, as the tracklist for the current mix is a big one. Let me show you! 1. Adrenalize – Mystical Universe 2. Activator – Summer Breeze (Original Mix) 3. Brennan Heart – Just As Easy (Original Mix) 4. Bioweapon – Bass Power 5. Coone – The Challenge (Original Mix) 6. D-Block & S-te-Fan feat MC Villain – The Magical Mystery 7. Frontliner & Max Enforcer – We Forget To Live 8. Geck-O – It’s What We Are (Headhunterz Edit) 9. Illuminators – We Strike Back ( Original Mix) 10. Max Enforcer – Lost In Paradise (Original Mix) 11. Noisecontrollers – Universe Was Born (Original Mix) 12. Showtek – Analogue Players In A Digital World (Original Mix) 13. Wildstylez – Forever ( TNT Remix) 14. The R3belz feat MC Renegade – Fight For Resistance (Original Mix) 15. Wasted Penguinz – Anxiety 16. Wildstylez – I See Stars 17. Zany – Angel Of The Sun ( Original Mix) 18. Duro v s Nitrouz – Crazy Music (Toneshifterz Remix) 19. Scope DJ – Twilight 20. Technoboy – Next Dimensional World ( Qlimax Anthem 2008) (Extended Mix) 21. Nagoom – Elements ( Rebourne Remix) 22. Project One – Raiders Of The Sun (Original Mix) 23. DJ Mystery – Punani (Psyko Punkz Remix) 24. Josh & Wesz – Dream Planet 25. In-Phase – Euphoria (Extended Mix) 26. Frontliner feat John Harris – Halos ( Original Mix) 27. Demi Kanon – Supersonic (Original Mix) 28. Da Tweekaz – Final Examination Of Time 29. Code Black – Brighter Day 30. Crypsis – Break Down Low (Brennan Heart Remix) 31. Bass Modulators – Music Is My Life 32. Audiotricz – Discover The New (Extended Mix) 33. Atmozfears & Audiotricz – Reawakening (Original Mix) 34. High Voltage & D-Block & S-te-Fan – Shiverz (Original Mix) 35. Francesco Zeta – Whacko Wonderful, just wonderful, right? So many amazing songs in this mix. A great selection by Mind Control, and a certain crowd pleasing mix. If you haven't pressed play yet, what are you waiting for? Of course the big anthems are in here. 'Lost In Paradise' is still probably the biggest anthem of all time, or am I making that up? But it's not the only anthem in this mix which makes me want to party hard until the sun rises in the morning. Instead of going all 'same-same', my best pick is something you might not have guessed in a million years, but it's ''Discover The New''. They don't make the tracks like that one anymore. Pure anthem. The mix has got a few little ''issues'', but nothing major. The only issue I have got, is the use of 'Final Examination Of Time'. Boy, I am not a fan of Da Tweekaz and I find their music ridiculously bad. And this is yet another example why I dislike most of the things they have ever done. This is a track which should be buried in a Mexican desert, next to the infamous ET Atari game. What a crap song. But still, most of this mix still gets me going, and gets me dancing in my living room. You should join us. Turn up the volume to the max and experience the anthems from our youth!

It is Saturday, and the sun is out! It looked like it might be yet another boring and dark/dreary Saturday, but it all turned around, and now the sun is blasting the sunshine through my window, nearly blinding me. And after some house chores and a lovely walk around the local lake here in Stewartby, it was time to sit back, and enjoy a new mix. It's been a while since we last heard a mix by Fer-D (2023 was the last mix I've encountered), so it is about time for us to dive into his latest mix for 1NC1N. I've seen the name 1NC1N before, but not really sure who's behind it. Fer-D is a name I have seen before, and I know it's going to be a great set. For the 79th edition of the 1NC series he was asked to create a mix, and he's gone back in time. Way back in time, to the oldskool. Did he go back in time? He certainly did. Once you scroll down and have a look at the tracklist, you'll know what I'm talking about. And he dug deep in his collection. He's found some hidden gems, some oldskool classics you don't hear that often, or versions of classics not heard before. The mix is roughly 104 minutes long, but time flies by, and before you know it, you are playing it again. A trip down memory lane, who doesn't want to experience that? Especially when the tunes are really cool. Fer-D has picked some awesome tracks. And if you are into Oldskool like me, you are going to look at the list and immediately you'll be amazed by the tracks. They are fantastic! Genlog - Mockmoon (Remix) United Rave States - Can't Hold Back Biochip C. - Strange Invaders (Remix) CJ Bolland - Camargue (Live At Universe) Walker & Jammin' Unit - Planet Of Love Part I Yves De Ruyter - Animals Natural System - Natural System (Strong Mix) The Daedalus Project - Extatic Trance (Original) Force Mass Motion - Chemical Warfare Lt.

Phrenetic System - Fantasy Disintegrator - Lock On Target DJ Hell - Sprung Aus Den Wolken Fazer - Paradigune Strange Food - Junk Food Moby - Go (Mover Mix) Unknown Structure - Soma Trip Commando - 1st Official Trip Signal DJ Hooligan - Imagination Of House (Totally House Version) Sulfurex - Point Break Cortex Thrill - Medium Koenig Cylinder - 99.9 Phrenetic System - Dark Symphony DJ Franky Jones - Overwhelming Rain (Jones & Stephenson Mix) Biochip C. - Mary Juana The Brain - Crasy One (Fucker Mix) English Muffin - The Blood Of An English Muffin Mayhem - Kikapoo Probe - Beyond My Planet Ilsa Gold - Up DJ Bountyhunter - Short Circuit Vene - Pain Aurin - Mecon English Muffin - Follow The Leader Casseopaya - Xenophobia Oh, the memories. And also the impact of each single track. They didn't have a clue back then, but they made history. Why? By singlehandedly creating timeless classics, which will be listened to in a thousand years from now. You might think, when the word 'Oldskool' is used, that it is all about the Hardcore. Well, you are slightly wrong. I would say that these songs pre-dated the Hardcore sound, and influenced it a lot. A lot of these records were used in many mixes, but played at a faster pace, so they might appear like Gabber anthems, but they were actually Techno anthems. Obviously the birthing place of Hardcore lies within Techno and House, and you can clearly hear that in most of these records. Fantastic selection, DJ Fer-D. A truly amazing selection, and actually true to the term 'Oldskool'. This goes way back in time, when rave was still in its early phase, but it wouldn't be that long before it exploded and took the world by storm. The majority of these songs have become timeless classics, and only a handful are known as true classics. True, in the sense, that many people will think of these tracks way before others. And the main track for me is.... ''Sounds Of Frustration''. Come on, as simplistic as it might sound, it has such an impact, and the beat is so freaking hard. This is one of those songs which would get the dancefloor filled quicker than any other song. A true Hardcore classic, and hard as hell! No negative feedback, only love and appreciation for this dope ass mix. More of these, please. I'm going back outside, to enjoy the sun. You should do the same. And play this mix in the garden. You'll thank me later!

The weekend has arrived, time to relax and unwind. And time to go back in time, yet again. It seems to be my thing at the moment, listening to mixes that contain records from my youth. And yes, I'm only 41, but I have lived a life. And the late 90s/early 2000nd were some of the best years of my life, especially when it comes to Trance music. Around 1998 I lost interest in Hardcore slightly, and Trance filled the gap. Yes, I know, there could not be two more different styles being compared in such a way, but Trance just worked for me. And in 2001 I went to the UK for the very first time. That had a huge impact on me, especially when it came to Dance music. All the CDs I found in HMVs and local CD stores, I bought them all. And the sound that resonated in UK clubs, that was for me the right sound. Did I jump aboard the Trance train? Hell yeah, and I bought an unlimited train journey ticket. I am riding that same train to this day, and I will never leave it. Even in the afterlife will I remain on the Trance train. I still get excited when I see a title containing the words ''Trance'' and ''Classics''. Because that means it is to be a fantastic journey back to the glorious years. And DJ Colin Bell is taking me back to my youth. And I'm not kidding: the tracks selected are the ones I really liked, and still dig to this day. They were my jam, and remain my jam. And some of these songs I've not heard in years! Cygnus X - The Orange Theme (Bervoets & De Goeij Mix) Travel - Bulgarian (Signum Remix) Lost Tribe - Gamemaster (Signum Remix) Signum feat Scott Mac - Coming On Strong (Hyperlogic Remix) Ralph Fridge - Angel (Club Mix) Starparty - I'm In Love (Ferry Corsten & Robert Smit Remix) Lovechild - Liberta (Moonman Remix) Pulp Victim - The World '99 (Moonman Club Mix) Salt Tank - Eugina (Michael Woods Remix) Plummet - Damaged (Antillas Remix) Spoiled & Zigo - More & More (Vocal Mix) Apollo Four Forty - Stop The Rock (Gigolo Stop The Jocks Remix) Mario Piu presents DJ Arabesque - The Vision (Vision 1 Mix) Gate 1 - The Flight (Space Mix) Blank & Jones - The Nightfly (Original Mix) Ariel - A9 (Original Mix) The Act - Something About You (DJ Garry's Vocal) Sash - Adelante (DuMonde Remix) This is a very nice selection of tracks, and Colin has done a remarkable job in mixing them all together in an hour and a half long mix. It's been on repeat since 7am this morning, and now it's nearly 9pm, and I'm still enjoying it a lot. And when I say a lot, I mean a lot. My youth in a nutshell. That's what this mix is. I bought literally every Trance compilation back in the day, and these songs were everywhere. And I felt happy hearing them. Now, many decades later, I still feel happy. Less bouncier though, but still happy to hear these songs again. And I've forgotten a few of these classics. My God, did I jump on 'The Nightfly' and 'Liberta', or 'Gamemaster' and 'Bulgarian'. But the one that always make me think of my time in the UK, raving my bollocks off, has to be 'Damaged' by Plummet. I do adore that record a lot, but also acknowledge that the remix by Antillas does not get enough recognition for being a true Trance anthem. Anything I didn't like about this mix? Erm.. no. Enough said. Get on this right now. The temperatures are rising again, so turn up the volume, and let yourself go. And reminisce. Or be introduced to the music from when TCD was a young chap!

Monday has come, and is nearly gone. One day closer to the eternal life, right? Hopefully that's years away from us, but you'll never know. At least we've survived this Monday, sitting indoors, roasting and sweating. But at least we've got some quality music coming at us through our speakers. Rígur Lárus is back with the twentieth instalment of his extremely successful and quirky mix series. And the twentieth is dedicated to a comedian/actor called Jim Carrey. You might have heard from him.... Jim Carrey is a funny lad. But he's played in so much more. Including the quirky film ''Eternal Sunshine Of The Mind'', which was a bit of a different film, compared to his 'standard' films. A bit more serious. I even liked him in that Big Brother-esque film, which name I've forgotten. He's not my favourite actor, but one I would not avoid. And that's putting it mildly. A good choice to have for your twentieth instalment. The cover image does freak me out slightly. It looks slightly ominous, right? It looks like my dreams, made into an image. Impressive, Rígur Lárus, very impressive. But it's not just the image that does damage, it also the mix. Rígur Lárus always finds the coolest songs out there. Some so unknown, I could not even find them. He does what he wants, and if it means that he has to dive deep into the underground to find the tracks that will get us moving, he will. And for his latest mix he has deep again. And boy, does this mix cause a stir! It certainly does. And I'm glad to have found it. Well, technically speaking I didn't find it, Rígur Lárus was so kind to notify me of the new mix. Bless his cotton socks. BUILD UP 01. Ian Brown - F.E.A.R. (UNKLE Remix) 02.

This would have taken me ages to bloody type. But it's now here, and it ain't going nowhere. So Rígur Lárus split the mix into three sections. The BUILD UP, SETTING THE MOOD, and FINAL TERRITORY. But to me it's just one glorious mix, and its purpose is clear. It is to make you dance, make you feel enlightened. And it surely did that to me. It might have been a long and arduous mix to create, but the end result is really beautiful. And you can even state which section is your favourite. Mine is 'BUILD UP'. That's got the best records in them. ''There's Hope In Your Eyes''. Come on, nothing can top that record. That is just pure eargasms in a song. I am getting goose bumps listening to this song. That song closely follows ''Blessway'' and ''Pomelo''. Overall, this mix is sick. The intro is OK, not the best he's made (nothing can beat Rob Lowe's intro), but when it comes to the tracks and the mix itself, this is a masterpiece. He takes his time, and when he releases it, you know it will hit you hard. This is pornographic stuff for music lovers. He always delivers, and he takes his time to create perfection. And the 20th is no different to the previous 19. I can't wait for more. But the guessing game is, who will be the next Hollywood star? Oh. Jim Carrey's best bit? Doing the vocal bits on The Weeknd album. That was amazing!!!

I've been very busy this weekend, as the weather was good. I've been outside most of the time, and I am probably sunburned. Well, that's my fault. I should have used protection, but I couldn't care less, that's just the way I roll. But besides me being extremely busy, I had to listen to something that could entertain me for the 5+ hours in the garden. And this was the mix I had found a couple of days ago. And this certainly takes me back to the good ol' days. I don't need to explain the whole history, but just to give you a glimpse of me personally around the Millennium. Hardcore was going underground (or dying, depending on your views on the state Hardcore was in around 1998/1999), and I wanted to listen to something else, which could fill that void. I started to listen to everything all at once, and it included Club, Trance, Hard House, Bounce, and much more. I did the one thing a true raver would have hated: I went commercial. But I'm glad that I did. Because around that time, so many great songs were released. Maybe generalised under the 'Club' umbrella, it offered a lot to lost souls like myself. They might have been cheesier compared to the music I grew up with, but at least I grew up listening to Happy Hardcore, which was cheesy on its own. When this 'genre' took over, I embraced it, and I embraced it hard! Lock 'N Load - Blow Ya Mind (Club Caviar Remix) Sound De-Zign - Happiness (Sound De-Zign Extended 2nd Treat Remix) Chaah - Funkiness Of You (Groove Gangsters Remix) Klubbheads - Kickin Hard (Euro Mix) Alex C feat Yasmin K. - Rhythm Of The Night (Pulsedriver Remix) DJ Hookman & Many More feat Base Of Drum - Calinca (SOS Club Mix) Bad Habit Boys - Drop The Bass (Club Mix) JVA - Everybody In The house South East Players - Hard Piano Web - Lovin' Times (Mythos N DJ Cosmo Remix) DJ BoozyWoozy feat Pryme - Jump Around Club Robbers - Searching For The Ball (Pitchers Club Mix) DJ RPM - I'm Here To Drop One (Groove Gangsters Remix) Boy, this brings back a lot of memories. Haven't heard a few of these songs in years! And the DJ behind this mix, Jumpin Jack, also included a few I've not seen or heard before. Or maybe I have, but you are talking about 25+ years ago. My memory might be a bit different at my age now, and I tend to forget stuff even more... Don't get me wrong, I do love Club music, but it's never my all-time favourite genre/style of music. I do like it, but I could only rave for an hour or two, and then my battery is fully drained. Couldn't handle more than 2 hours, max. It is cool to hear those classics again, but like time, they haven't stuck around long enough. I don't even know what happened to this sound? Did it fade away? And if so, when did that happen? It is all about the memories, and I've got plenty. Especially when 'Kickin Hard' kicks in. Of course one of the biggest anthems of that era. You couldn't escape that song, it was literally everywhere: radio, TV, and every CD compilation released back in the 90s/early 00s. It's catchy, that's for sure. It did give me enough energy today, and I'm now absolutely drained. No energy left. Time to unwind, and take another trip down memory lane, as Jumpin Jack released a second mix in this series. Let's go back in time! Ps. ''Jump Around'' is one of those bad songs you should not love, and certainly BoozyWoozy's least interesting song. Christ, that song is bad. I forgot how bad it was! And it sounded like any other song made by BoozyWoozy/Klubbheads....

The weekend is nearly halfway gone. Yes, time flies by when you are having fun. And even though today was an OK day, the end result is enjoyable. Redecorated the bathroom was fun, even though there were moment I was going to push my head through the wall. And I wasn't even listening to the mix you are about to listen to: the mix I originally heard got on my nerves, and I had to stop playing it, as my laptop was about to be thrown in the garden.... But thankfully I came across this mix a few days ago, and decided to give it a go. And I wasn't disappointed. Not come across this account before, but sure he deserves a follow. DJ Grey released his 'Music Never Stops 1' mix roughly a week ago, and it contains some of the finest Uplifting Trance and Tech Trance anthems money can buy. And you know I am a sucker for anything Trance related. If it comes with a tracklist, I'm a happy bunny. No need to throw my laptop away, but the opposite: it stays firm on my desk, connected to a fantastic sound system, and it's blasting out the tunes at max volume. Not really bothered about the neighbours: they love Trance music, if they knew it or not. The weather was perfect today for a spot of Trance music, and it has certainly uplifted me a lot! Ciaran McAuley & Eddie Pinero - Permission To Exhale Doppenberg & Harshil Kamdar - Afterglow Para X - Atmospherica (Extended Mix) Roman Messer, Six Mists with Jaki Nelson - Just Be You (Extended Mix) Georgio Safo - Stagnation (Extended Mix) WaterFox & Northad - Lift Me Higher (Extended Mix) Inigo Rave - Here With Me (12 Inch Mix) Ralphie B, Frank Waanders & Collide1 - No Tomorrow (Extended Mix) Tommahawk - Unfolding (Original Mix) DJ-Elven - Opus 2 (Extended Dub Mix) McCrea - Altruism (Original Mix) Andrew Rayel - Trance Is The Rhythm Boris Foong - Here We Go (Extended Mix) Jody 6 - Twisted Rinaly & Julie Thompson - Running (Extended Mix) MaRLo - Let's Go (Extended Mix) Tommahawk - Unfolding (Thomas Schumacher Remix) Jody 6 - Slaves To The Rave (Original Mix) A seriously good looking tracklist, even though I don't recognise half of the artists. Maybe I should spend more time focussing on Trance music, and who's who in the scene. But it's all about the music, and the music is great. It truly is. There are a lot of excellent records in here, and a few I had on repeat a few times. Songs like ''Trance Is The Rhythm'' and ''Here We Go'', but all credit, love and appreciation goes to the most epic song I've heard in a long time: ''Just Be You''. Wow, what a beautiful record. Not heard this one before, but it has been on repeat ever since. The song is amazing, but the vocals just take it to the next level! DJ Grey's selection is superb, and he gets us going. Well, I couldn't sit still whilst this was playing out loud. It is powerful, and the hour and 10 minutes do fly by before your eyes. It's certainly a feast for your ears. Get on this bad boy before the weekend ends. Put this on when you are BBQing tomorrow. Will get everyone dancing, trust me. And when ''Just Be You'' hits, that's when everything just comes together! A fantastic mix, one you will truly enjoy!

I was under the impression that I've reviewed one of Antone mixes before, especially one from his Trance Elation series? I was completely wrong, as I can't find it on my website. I am ashamed, I truly am. But at least I'm not too late to the party. And what a fantastic party it is, right? The fifth instalment, and it's a great one, as it's been on repeat ever since I discovered it. And of course am I the Top FAN on Soundcloud. Surely not the only one, but give it time for people to discover this mix and the rest in this series. I think I listened to them all so far, but not reviewed any of them. Sorry Antone, don't be angry. But at least the one I'm talking about today, is the biggest one of them all. An hour long, 11 tracks, and they are astonishing tracks. They are gorgeous. If you love Trance, this is your cup of tea. You must jump on this as soon as time permits. Why? Well, Antone knows his stuff, and he's picked 11 fantastic Trance anthems. This isn't the first Antone review, and it certainly won't be the last. He's hit another homerun with this fifth mix in his Trance Elation series, and it's packed with songs I've not heard before. And there are two tracks in it, so beautiful, it makes me kind of emotional. I've had this mix on all day, and I will play it until the end of today. It is that good. And what the Hell, I might even play it tomorrow and the day after. Let's go crazy! James Irving-Lewis - Beyond The Clouds Hans Zimmer - Chevaliers de Sangreal (Michael McBurnie Remix) (Antone Edit) Darkingz & LinMou - To The Greatest Future Stowers & Cooper - Seizure Gary McPhail - Are You Ready Faithless - Salva Mea (Icedream Bootleg) (Antone Edit) Mark Wilks - Voice In The Dark Binary Finary - 1999 (Starrett Rework) Roman Sand - Recall Marc Ward - Karma Solarstone - Seven Cities (Ferry Tayle Extended Remix) (Antone Edit) A solid mix, and one you will certainly enjoy! I'm sitting here, still working, and this is blasting at me at max volume, and I think I must have heard it a thousand times today, but there's still a few hours left of the day, in which I will repeatedly listen to this mix. I cannot stop, this stuff is addictive. Antone has done it again. Another awesome mix with beautiful records. The two I mentioned earlier, that stood out, are 'Are You Ready' and 'Voice In The Dark'. Stunning records, absolute masterpieces. I can only give this mix my love and appreciation. This is my kind of Trance music. No pop nonsense of happy stuff, just heavenly anthems like the 11 used in this mix. Give me this all day, everyday, and it will make me a happier human being! Keep those mixes coming Antone!

The last couple of months I've been listening to a lot of Smooth Radio on Alexa, and it's been a pleasant journey. A bit more groovy music, a bit more relaxing music. I'm known to love me a bit of the harder music, but since our last holiday in Greece, I've been loving the groovy side a bit more and more. Why? Well, it's because of our daily visits to the local cocktail bar gave us this kind of music. Literally, they would play this kind of funky and groovy music. And those memories make me happy. Obviously I go to Soundcloud to hear more music, and this mix got shared. So I jumped on it, and I am glad to have listened to it. PDRMXsound made this mix, and it's a lovely 61 minutes long, 15 tracks are in it. And I am not an expert in Disco, but I can only comment on the music itself. And the music is truly great. And it's got one of the best songs in it, ever. And that's a bold statement, coming from me. So what can you actually expect? Well, a smooth journey through everything Disco related. It's a nice mixture, and it can be as smooth and sensual as you want it to be, or it can be extremely funky to dance to. It all depends on your mood. And my mood today is a bit grey and dull, like the weather outside. Going from 25 degrees Celsius a few days ago to 12 degrees and windy. I need this mix a lot to heat me up! Block & Crown - Forgot Me Nots (Nudisco DUB) Chance, Opolopo - Make Me (Go Crazy) Next Phase - I Ain't Got Time (Remix) Block & Crown - Best Of My Love (Nudisco Classic Mix) Riva Starr, The Shapeshifters - Vicino O'Mare Key To Life - Forever (Michael Gray Remix) Bronx Cheer - Right Now Baby Zo!, Erro & Phonte - We Are On The Move (Joey Negro Mix) Block & Crown, Paul Parsons - Party People Night & Day (Original Mix) Diva Avari - Moving On Up Luis Radio, Earl W.

Gray - Never Stop Dancing (Extended Mix) Beat Rivals, Lifford - I Am Somebody MF Produktion - Go To Get This Disco (Extended Mix) Rick Marshall - Hey Baby (Original Mix) Come on, tell me this mix ain't moving you, and I would not believe you! This mix is so sensual, it has to make you move. Shake your body, and shake you booty. I am certainly shaking mine right now. I've never encountered the name PDRMXsound before, but I'm certainly following this DJ. This eighteenth mix in this series has done some serious damage, so I can imagine that there's more out there mixed by him, which might cause the same amount of damage, or more. The one track that did the most damage, and will do so more in 2025, is ''Never Stop Dancing''. I only heard it a couple of weeks ago, but what a tune that is! I love it, and even my wife loves it. It is one of those catchy tunes with a blinding vocal element, that will certainly NOT leave your head. A blinding mix on this dreary Sunday. Time to unwind, and enjoy the music madness!

The weekend has started, and what a great week it has been! I've been extremely busy, but it has been rewarding. And Mother Nature feels the same. The weather has been extremely pleasant, and on some occasions even very hot! But it's all worth it, eh? The weekend is about to land, and the temperatures are to drop. Great British weather. We couldn't have it for more than a few days, especially with the bank holiday coming up.... But instead of complaining, let's focus on the good elements. The weather is still good, and it is the weekend! Time to crank up the volume and unwind. Enjoy it all. Let the Sun be the light that carries you through the weekend, and let the music take you on a journey. And hopefully it's a journey you want to take. I found this mix a few days ago, and maybe I was persuaded by the lovely picture. Who knows? Looking at the sunrise/sunset like that, it's just amazing. Hearing the waves too, oh gosh, that's just Heaven. But once I pressed play, I knew I was about to listen to something great, and it started of with a fantastic tune! The DJ behind this mix is Chantel Ford. Not seen or heard of her before, but I'm glad I did. This mix has been on repeat for days, and I mean for days! Tinlicker - Just To Hear You Say (Joseph Ray Extended Mix) Standerwick - Apricus ODESZA feat Zyra - It's Only Catching Flies - Satisfied (Marsh Remix) Jonas Saalbach, Th;en - Stay Strong Braxton - Spaces CUT_ - Out Of Touch (Tinlicker Remix) Joris Voorn, Pig & Dan - Been There Before Nicky Elisabeth - Fading (Joris Voorn Remix) Lastlings - I've Got You Kaz James, Nick Morgan - Dazed Fable - Marsh I'm sitting here, in a very hot room, enjoying a nice beverage, and hearing this mix. Life could not get any better. And Chantel has picked some extremely tasty House anthems. It's a very enjoyable mix, suitable for this weather. And it's 55 minutes long, so not short, but not too long either. Just perfect, right? I've not encountered any of these tracks before, but I do certainly love them all. But ''Just To Hear You Say'', that track is just next level! That is just a beautiful record, and those vocals are generally the best ones I've heard this year. What a blinding record to start your mix with. Only love and appreciation for this mix. It's not April anymore, but don't let that bother you. Just sit back and enjoy this mix. Have a nice and relaxing weekend, and let Chantel take you through this long weekend with this mix!

I started today with a nice oldskool rave/Hardcore mix, and now I'm listening to a Happy Hardcore mix by Si Thompson. Why did I pick this mix? Well, Si used a picture of one legendary Happy Hardcore icon, one of the ''Devils''. As I bought all the Happy Hardcore CDs by Arcade back in the day, I instantly knew the Devil and what it represents. Of course did I look at the title of the mix too, but the Devil persuaded me. And that's a weird phrase to state today, when it's the Pope's funeral.... I adore Happy Hardcore, and whenever it's the early stuff or brand spanking new stuff, I love it all. My love for Happy Hardcore runs deep, very deep. And it will never go away. Not even when I'm 100 years old, sitting in my armchair, watching the world go by, behind my geraniums, drinking a lovely cup of tea with a biscuit, and blasting out Happy Hardcore at max volume, as I'll probably be deaf at that stage in my life. And I would still reminisce to the glorious days, those precious days when Happy Hardcore was everywhere. And it seems that Si's mix is filled with a nice mixture of well known tracks and a few forgotten gems. And even remixes I've not heard before. So it might be a trip down memory lane, but there will be new memories made today, hopefully. That all depends on the tracks selected and the mix itself. Is this going to be devilishly good, or not? Bang! - Sailaway (Mellow Mix) DJ Hixxy & MC Sharkey - Toy Town '97 (Unreleased Bootleg Mix) 4 Tune Fairytales - My Little Fantasy (Happycore Bootleg) DJ Revive - Secrets DJ Demo - You're Mine (Slipmatt Remix) Interactive - Forever Young (Merlin's Dubplate Mix) Demo & DNA - Wildstyle Ragnarok - Quadrafuzz DJ Ham - Are You Ready? DJ Demo - Deaf Toad Slippery Project - Closer To All Your Dreams DJ Demo - Musik (DJ Ham Remix) DJ Evo - Starting Over (Keep On Trying) Mickey Skeedale - Come Find My Love A trip down memory lane, that's for sure. And new memories were indeed made. Si's selection is really cool. And it's another mix that shows me that Happy Hardcore was, and still is amazing. It is as cheesy as you want it to be. And if needs must, it will bring you rays of sunshine. That's what I'm currently experiencing. Happiness is all around, and this mix has certainly made me happy. Also kind of sad, certain records used in this mix are great, but maybe not the versions used. ''Sailaway'' is such a great HH record, and this mellow mix isn't the best version of that song. Same with ''My Little Fantasy'', although a good effort. But Bass-D & King Matthew's version remains the dog's bollocks. But the tracks that got me hyped up the most, and got me dancing, are ''Secrets'' by DJ Revive, and ''Starting Over (Keep On Trying)'' by DJ Evo. These are truly great songs, and I'm guessing they are fairly new records? Not heard them before, but will have this mix on repeat. So much so, these songs will be etched into my brain. A great mix, and it has made me happy. Couldn't ask for more! And you couldn't ask for more either: I haven't even mentioned that the song ''Toy Town'' is in this mix (which I truly dislike)! It must be a great day!

Wahey! It's Saturday. Time to relax, and unwind. And time for us to take a trip down memory lane, to the roots. And this isn't just your standard mix you are about to listen to, it's a promo mix for an event, which takes place on the 24th of May 2025. The event is called 'Back To The Roots', and it's got some big names on the flyer: Fabio & Grooverider, Micky Finn, Rat Pack, Brockie, SS, Kenny Ken, Ratty, and many more. And as you all know, I'm a sucker for the early day rave music, so I had to jump on this mix. The DJ in question, who made this promo mix, is Dave Junglist. And for his 2 hour long mix, he has gone all out. I spotted this mix the other week, and after a quick look, I knew I had to give this mix a go. The tracklist is filled with those memorable anthems from back in the day. You know, the ones we still love and adore. And those songs still get people on the dancefloors, all over the world. Unfortunately I cannot go to this event, but at least I got a glimpse in what to expect. And if these tracks are played, you know it will all blow up, right? The dancefloor massive will loose their freaking minds. Whistles everywhere, glowsticks flying through the air, and feet stomping the ground like never before.

This took me back to the 90s, within a split second. The selection is great. Dave Junglist has certainly picked a lot of great anthems. You know when certain tracks are played, the dancefloor always fills up. And dedicated fans will immediately go to the speakers. Why? Well, have you ever been to a rave where they played LFO with LFO? You know what I'm talking about. That bass is so filthy. But there are a few others in this mix with the same level of filth. And I love it. The selection is great, and the mix is too. Not flawless, and sometimes the recording quality goes down, which makes me wonder if these are LPs used for this mix. And at certain moments, in my car, the speakers would be trembling so much, I had to turn the volume down, which never happens. It might be a recording issue, I presume? But it's still a highly enjoyable mix. Worth turning the volume up, but not to the max. And if you are into the early day rave music, why not go to this event, and have a blast. A blast back into the past? Best record? ''Sub Dub'' by DJ Seduction. Great record. Truly great record!

Me being Dutch is quite obvious. The name of my blog might have a clue in it. It has a lot of benefits. Growing up in the Netherlands has given me a lot of benefits, and the main one being that it was the epicentre of the harder music. I am not stating Hardcore originated in the Netherlands, but we certainly gave the music a place to grow, and growing it certainly did. And all those sub-genres, they grew in the Netherlands too, but they did not start in this small country. When it comes to Happy Hardcore, I would even go as far as to state it came from the UK. Do you agree with that statement? It was slightly different to the Happy Hardcore I grew up with. but the roots were certainly in the UK. That little country (bigger than NL though) was the birthplace for many music genres, and Happy Hardcore was certainly one they nailed from the start. It grew out of Breakbeat and Jungle, and even a bit of Drum & Bass. Techno influences? Of course. Even House has an influence in the Happy side of Hardcore. We took it at its peak and made it bigger than ever, but we've got our friends from the other side of the pond to thank. Don't get me wrong, I do love European Happy Hardcore a lot. But over the years I've grown accustom to the UK side of Happy Hardcore, and some of the records from the UK have made their way into my top 10 of all time favourite records. And the producers from back in the 90s, they've certainly become my favourite ones too. Pearsall's mix series did come to an end, and he decided that his last mix was going to focus on the ''early'' Happy Hardcore anthems. From 1993 to 1995, to be precise. And those were some glorious years, right? Naughty Naughty - Rich In Paradise DJ Mixmatt - R.P.T. (Rushin' Piano Track) 2 Croozin - Life Heartless - Right Now DJ Ham - And Higher Higher Level - I Need You Now Smith & Brown - Do It Now DJ Force & The Evolution - Escape The Feeling Happy Tunes - Pounding Beats Kriston - Got To Get Up DJ Seduction - So In Love (Vibes & Wishdokta Remix) SMD - SMD1 (A) Naughty Naughty - Never Felt This Way DJ Red Alert & Mike Slammer - Feel So Real Seduction & Dougal - It's Not Over Billy 'Daniel' Bunter & JDS - Let It Lift You (Vibes & Wishdokta Remix) Jimmy J & Cru-L-T - Take Me Away (Slipmatt Remix) Oaysis - Incredible Bass (Slipmatt Remix) Crowd Pleasure - Volume Three (Side B) Billy 'Daniel' Bunter & D-Zyne feat Gem - Ride Like The Wind I would say 50% of these songs made it to Dutch Happy Hardcore albums, the rest remained in the UK. Which is certainly a pity, because I would have raved in my bedroom like no one was watching, like a monkey on acid! There are some wicked anthems from back in the day, and you can tell that a few names were dominantly in charge of all the wicked tracks in the early 90s. Like Slipmatt, Billy Bunter, and of course Red Alert & Mike Slammer. Pearsall always digs deep and finds the well known anthems, and crams a few obscure, underground anthems in too. And the result is a 59 minute long mix with tracks which will do some damage to your speakers and your eardrums. And you aren't careful enough, you will have blisters on your feet, as you can't control yourself, and start raving. That's cool, but do it safely. There are too many to choose from, but I go with 'Ride Like The Wind', as that's the one that got me all excited in 1994/1995. I do believe it was on Happy Hardcore, the compilations released by Arcade, right? It's yet another amazing mix, and we go from the unknown/obscure to the well known anthems that dominated the world. Oh, how the 90s changed music for everyone. And I'm glad to have sampled both the UK and the Netherlands. Back in the 90s I would have ONLY loved Dutch Happy Hardcore, but being older (and slightly wiser), I would consider both UK and NL to be equally as good. We would not have had a Happy Hardcore scene without either of them.

Selectabwoy. A name I've not seen or heard of, in a while. And I used to review a lot of his mixes. I don't know why I don't see a lot of his mixes on Soundcloud anymore, probably Soundcloud's algorithm. But only a few days ago did I spot a mix, which got me interested. As you can see, the title on the image above is Counterforce Inverted: a Collection Of Deep Beats. And boy, you are not ready for the deep beats! I certainly wasn't. If you are looking for some beats, and your requirement is that they are to be deep, look no further. I remember many of Selectabwoys' mixes, and they have always remained my favourite mixes on Soundcloud. Hell, one year I even nominated him for the DJ Mag 100, but as it's a fixed thing, he didn't win it. But he certainly should. This mix you are about to listen to, is yet another epic one. And if you look at the top player (listener), it is me. I've been listening to this mix over and over, and there's good reason for that. It's freaking awesome! This reminds me of Goldie's BBC Radio 1 Essential mix from back in the day. That mix has to be one of my favourite mixes of all time, followed by Selectabwoys' one. This is as good, or even better! I'm not kidding, I do love this atmospheric Jungle music. It's absolutely epic, and it reminds me of days gone by, when I was playing ''Need For Speed'' and had Goldie's mix on repeat. Similar kind of music, similar vibes I'm currently experiencing. DJ Crystl - Sweet Dreamz Wild Orkid - Orkid Gappa G & Hyper Hypa - River Niger Koda - Spacetek Orca - Intalect DJ Tamsin & The Monk - A Better Place (DJ Trace Remix) DJ Fokus - Watch Out DJ Crystl - Meditation (Remix) FBD Project - Just Wanna Live Lemon D - Deep Space (I See Sunshine) (Remix Part 1) Steve C & Monita - Full Cry Hyper On Experience - Half Stepper Tayla - Remnants A very short tracklist, but such a powerful one. It's got so many great tracks in here, it's unbelievable the power of each record. This is one of the best mixes online right now! I am not kidding, this is such a great selection of records, and it's crammed into an hour long mix (exactly an hour long, which I find highly interesting). Selectabwoy's selection is truly remarkable, as from the first to the last record it is hit after hit. But what it also does to me, is bring inner peace. I am so calm right now, I've got difficulties finishing this review. I am so calm, I could fall asleep, listening to this mix. I love this atmospheric music. It takes me into this new dimension, and I'm in love with it. It is worth a listen, and you are surely going to enjoy it. Seriously, hit after hit, and each one seem to be as good as the previous song. But all have the same power: to relax your inner soul, and give you eternal bliss. Well, eternal might be a tad too long, but at least for the hour, you are experiencing bliss. When ''Remnants'' hits, it hits hard. That's such a beautiful record, and what a way to end your mix. I was going to give ''Meditation'' and ''Just Wanna Live'' the top spot, but ''Remnants'' is just too damn good. The perfect record to end a climatic hour with. Selectabwoy, you've done it again! How he does it, I don't know. But he should never stop! Never!

Yesterday I went to Skegness. Now, to be fair, that's not the most romantic place to go to, or the most exotic. But it's the place which holds the most memories to me. Especially when it's about going out until the early hours of the morning, and getting wasted. So I could not write a review, as I was reliving my past. But now I'm back, with a mix from last year, made by the legendary Craig Scott. You might have seen a few of his mixes on this website before, and I just had the urge to go back to his page and find a mix I'd not discovered before. Turns out, this mix was a bit of a backup mix. He was asked to make this, and in the end it wasn't used. Which is a pity. Turns out the vibe was a bit off. I would have loved this at my wedding, as it's got some serious bangers in here. Hell, even my wife would have liked this a lot. But it's not everyone's cup of tea, I get it. But this would have sounded ace at our wedding. It would have been slightly better to hear this instead of YMCA or any Christmas song (yes, it was September and the wife loves Christmas). But can't complain, our DJ did a brilliant job. Maybe for our anniversary I could ask Craig to make a wicked mix, filled with mashups, just like this one? Craig, if you are reading this, in 2031 I'll be contacting you. Olive - You're Not Alone Darude - Sandstorm Lasgo - Something Rui Da Silva - Touch Me Timmy Trumpet - Blow Ya Mind Delerium - Silence Da Hool - Meet Her At The Love Parade Public Domain - Operation Blade Tiesto - Adagio For Strings The Prodigy - Everybody In The Place Lucid - I Can't Help Myself Paul van Dyk - For An Angel Scot Project - U DJ Jean - The Launch Cosmic Gate - Fire Wire Storm - Time To Burn David Guetta - Satisfaction N-Trance - Set You Free I wasn't expecting this to be such a cool mix. I did see the tracklist and thought ''this is going to be a standard mix'', but sure enough, it wasn't going to be like that. Especially when I heard Olive's 'You're Not Alone'. Those vocals came in, and then the beat dropped! And it dropped like nothing I'd heard before! What a good track to start your mix with. This is yet another wicked mix by Craig, and I really find each mix I discover on his Soundcloud and YouTube page a glorious one. He never disappoints, and this Trance mix is something different. The weather might not be glorious, but I'm sitting inside of our house, and it's still quite hot inside. Short, t-shirt and a nice cool beverage. With this playing in the background, I could pretend to be in a sunny Summer destination. The mashups are great, and so is the end result. I would have loved to hear this at our wedding, but at least it's on the internet for us all to enjoy. And when 'I Can't Help Myself' hits, it hits hard. One of the most underrated songs, it deserves a bigger spot in our dance history. What a blinding anthem and a half! A fantastic mix. Wouldn't you agree?

This month I've not posted any review, and I feel ashamed. I've been a bit busy, and it's been quite hectic, but don't you worry; I am back. And the first mix I'm about to talk about, is one I've only discovered a few days ago, and have played over and over. And frankly, the FANS section on Soundcloud should have picked up my plays, but it didn't (the bastards!). Why? Well, it's because this mix has got me through this week. And it hasn't been a bad week. But just to hear this mix, it has given me enough energy to survive it. I could have gone for the harder stuff, but I was feeling Trance more. The classics, of course. Not a massive fan of the current Trance. I do still listen to it, but nothing can compete. So when I discovered this mix, by RonsterMunch, I knew I had to give it a go. And normally I would go for anything with a tracklist, but when I started listening to it, I wasn't aware of a list, and I still highly enjoyed it. To my surprise, it did come with a list, and I'm grateful. Maybe it's the image which accompanies the mix? Very mind altering picture, if I'm being honest. Very trance-like image. It suits the mix well, I believe. But it's all about the music, and the music is great. An 80 minute long mix, with only 11 records. No megamix, but just pure, extended versions of great songs from back in the day. And it also gave me the opportunity to close my eyes, and relive the 90s and early 2000nd! Afterburn - North Pole Max Graham - Airtight Lustral - Everytime (Nalin & Kane Remix) Schiller - Das Glockenspiel (Humate Remix) Tilt - I Dream (Tilts Resurrection Mix) Accessive Rhythm - Activate Fu Man Choo - Outlaw (Praha Remix) i Matti Laamanen - Live Kansai - Rococco (Fire & Ice Remix) Insigma - Open Your Eyes Signum - The Timelord A short tracklist, and an easy one to type, which is always beneficial. But it's all about the mix, and what a glorious one it is. This brought back a lot of memories, from me back in the day, raving until the Sun came up. Raving in the darkness is always the best feeling, but similar to this feeling, is the feeling of hearing these tunes in a nice bar abroad. Somewhere hot and sunny. And drinking a nice beverage at the same time. RonsterMunch has made a very nice mix, and it's one that has been on repeat for multiple days now. It's only been online for roughly 6 days, but I've listened to this so much, I couldn't stop. And it's all because the tracks are so super smooth and very intoxicating. They are epic Trance anthems, from the first to the eleventh record. I've got no complaints whatsoever. This is a solid mix. And when ''Das Glockenspiel'' hits, that's when you know you have reached Trance Heaven. Boy, that record is just stunning. Let this mix guide you through the weekend. Tomorrow the weather should remain good, so crank up the speakers, and enjoy it as much as I have. More of these mixes please. RonsterMunch, you've gained a follower!

Welcome to 2025. The world has changed dramatically, but the one thing we can always count on, is the fact that the clocks go forward and backward on specific days, for reasons unknown to most. But what it does sign, is the Summer time. It is called British Summer time right now, which means we can expect 3 days of 30+ degrees Celsius and a lot of rain. And it's also Mothers day in the United Kingdom now, so you get a double whammy. To celebrate the flip flops and shorts coming out of the closet, I've got a mix for you all to appreciate. Mike Air, a.k.a. Iridium DJ, released his Spring Club House session mix only a few weeks ago, and it is suitable to be played right now. Sun's out, shorts on, flip flops on. And we all get ready for the Summer holiday. It might be months away, but time will fly by. And before you know it, you'll be sitting at a bar at your holiday destination, looking around, being embraced by the sunshine and lovely alcoholic beverages flowing through your system. Life can be great. This will be the third House session mix by Mike Air, and before I show you the tracklist, the question is: is it as good or better than the previous two? I can be the judge of that, but you could do the same: have a listen to this mix and the previous two mixes I have reviewed, and leave a comment below. I dare you to leave a comment below! Now we dive into the tracklist. Let's see if it's any good! Duck Sauce, A-Trak & Armand van Helden - Fallin In Love (Extended Mix) Mark Knight, James Hurr & Laura Davie - Movin (Extended Mix) Angelo Ferreri & Alessio Cala - Dance If U Want (Original Mix) WhO vs Sllash & Doppe - The Fire (Extended Mix) Illyus & Barrientos - Losing Control (Extended Mix) Mark Knight feat Laura Davie & The Melody Man - If It's Love (Extended Mix) CID vs Spankox - To The Club (Extended Mix) Eden Prince - Get Down (Extended Mix) Angel Heredia - The Start (Extended Mix) Camille Doe - Alright (Extended Mix) WhO - Feels (Extended Mix) Siwell - Mooving (Original Mix) Alex Preston - Sensation (Extended Mix) CASSIMM & WhO - Samba (Extended Mix) Hertz & Subway - Interstellar (PHNTM Remix) Mark Knight & Gene Farris - I Can't Go For That (Extended Mix) Yours - Our Love (80'S) (David Penn Extended Remix) Alex Preston - Love Move (Original Mix) The tracklist doesn't really move me as much as it should, as there are a lot of unknown names in it, but there's a few names I recognise. It's not about who did what, but what they actually made, right? The temperatures are slowly getting higher and higher, and that might be because of the coming Summer, or just global warming. But we need to hear something that suits the environment well, and this is certainly a very sexy mix, with some seriously sensual anthems. So sensual in fact, I am about to ask this mix to go on a holiday with me. That's a bit of a stretch, but it does sound very sensual. Mike Air's mix is very pleasant to the ear, and will go down well wherever you are going to play it. And especially with the first song in this mix. Another epic song by Duck Sauce. I can imagine this track being everywhere in 2025, on the radio, in shops, and being played at your holiday destination. What a blinding record. I really like this mix, and it's as good as the other two mixes. So that's a bonus! Go and enjoy the upcoming Summer, and whatever you are going to do, do it safely!

It is Saturday, and it's been a very eventful day. Been doing a lot in the house today, and even though I planned to start this review around 12am, it is now nearly 7pm, and I've only just started. But don't you worry, my son. This mix has been on repeat ever since. And I even had the wife listen to it, and she's not a fan of anything Hardcore related. So it has been a struggle, but she has not complained once. Maybe today is the day I have converted her into a gabber? Who knows? There's more chance of the Moon hitting the Earth. But at least I tried. And the mix I listened to, is a very good one. It's made by Infrasound, and it contains some extremely big Happy Hardcore anthems from the 90s. And you all know how much I love Hardcore. It's my life. I can listen to Hardcore 24/7, 52 weeks a year, and I would still love it. Not the current piep kicks stuff, Frenchcore or anything 'new', but the old stuff. Nothing can compare. Infrasound decided to do a bit of everything, UK and rest of Europe. And I love the balance between both. The result is a 77 minute long mix with some very tasty sounding anthems you don't hear that often. Well, some you do, but not in this configuration. We need more of these mixes, and funnily enough, this is the 38th mix in the series. How the fuck did I miss all the others? DD Zion - Blue Sky (There Is No Law Mix) Diss Reaction - Jiieehaaaa Trickster - Reality Interstate - Damn Right Bass-X - Get Up & Jam The Scotchman - Happy Vibes Bass-X - Morphine Lord Of Hardcore - Go Berserk Duo Pennotti - The Beat Goes Marc Smith - Pump Up The Noize (Raid Mix) Technopia - Ultimate Response Bass-X - Bass-X Scott Brown vs DJ Rab S - Now Is The Time Bass Reaction - Technophobia (Power Mix) Trickster - Stop The Rhythm Kadoc - You Got To Be There (Point .44 Remix) Rave Nation - Going Crazy (Forze DJ Team Mix) Q-Tex - Get On The Floor Nosferatu - Inspiration Vibes Lockjaw - Get Sorted Predator vs Wedlock - Roots And Culture Technohead - I Wanna Be A Hippy 3 Steps Ahead - Drop It Antisocial - Get Into Love Antisocial - My Way A bit of everything, as said. But the majority obviously are Scott Brown records. Which in itself isn't a bad thing. We all love a bit of the early Scott Brown anthems. And they blend in well with everything else in this mix. Nothing can compete to the 90s sound. It's just extremely dope and sexy. Yes, I said sexy, as it is. No current day Hardcore anthem can compete. It's just next level stuff they did back in the 90s, and Infrasound's selection showcases how great the music was back in the day. If you weren't around, you missed out on a lot! Yes, some of the tracks might have been slightly cheesy, but those were the days. Best record? Oh, that's difficult. I've got three actually. 'Inspiration Vibes', 'My Way', and 'Stop The Rhythm'. They are the best records in this mix. Infrasound, you've given me a lot to listen to. 37 other mixes to be fair. There goes my bloody weekend! As long as they are as good as this one, I've got nothing to complain about!

Only last year did I discover a Soundcloud channel, a channel dedicated to Trance music, and the DJ behind the channel is called Trance Mam. Only two mixes I had the honour to review, but thankfully a few days ago did she upload a brand spanking new mix, showcasing her skills and her ''first year'' in the scene. It's been a year since her first mix on Soundcloud, and what a journey she's been on. Highly admirable, and to celebrate her first year, she made a nearly 3 hour long mix with some serious and emotional Trance anthems. And I enjoyed the ''Year One'' a lot. Hell, I liked it that much, I'm on top of the ''listen'' leader board. Why might that be? Well, because Trance Mam picked some of the biggest anthems out there. There's 28 of them, and they are solid anthems. Some 'old' ones and some fairly new ones. There's a mixture of old and new, and she made it sound so gorgeous. I am a Trance freak, and seeing/hearing mixes like this, that makes me very happy. And very excited. Trance is one of those genres that can elevate me to another level, and it will leave me up there for hours. But that's only when it's the good Trance, not the crappy boink boink happy let's put a meme cat in a song and call it Trance-Trance. The proper Trance, which Trance Mam picked for her mix, and what an astounding mix it has become. You can't wait to see the tracklist, right? Gareth Emery feat Christina Novelli - Concrete Angel Andy Moor & Ashley Wallbridge feat Meighan Nealon - Faces (Original Mix) Conjure One feat Poe - Center Of The Sun (Junkie XL Remix) Jan Johnstone - Flesh (Tiesto Remix) Armin van Buuren - Shivers (Rising Star Mix) Ciaran McAulej & Kenna Childs - Oceans (Extended Mix) Holden & Thompson - Nothing (93 Returning Mix) Planet Perfecto - Bullet In The Gun (Original Mix) Alex Morph & Anna Criado - Sunset Boulevard Daniel Kandi - Child Lange - I Am What I Am Ralph Fridge - Angel (Club Mix) Richard Durrand - The Air I Breathe Oceanlab - Beautiful Together (Nitrous Oxide Remix) Claudia Cazacu feat Audrey Gallagher - Freefalling (Original Mix) Somma & Jennifer Rene - Stars Collide (Xijaro & Pitch Extended Remix) Talla 2XLC & Gid Sedgwick - Forever Young (Extended Mix) The Thrillseekers present Hydra - Affinity 2018 (Extended Mix) Ferry Tayle, Xijaro & Pitch - Lost In Memories Rollergirl - Superstar (Butterfly Remix) Lange - I Believe (DJ Tandu Remix) Vincent De Moor - Flowtation Emma Hewitt, Xijaro & Pitch - Lost In Memories Alessandra Roncone - Unkonsciousness (UNK23 Anthem) John O'Callaghan feat Audrey Gallagher - Big Sky John O'Callaghan feat Jaren - Surreal (John O'Callaghan Club Mix) Randy Katana - In Silence (Txitxarro Mix) Oceanlab - Satellite (Original Above & Beyond Mix) Wow, Trance Mam went all in, and delivered! This is a certified banger of a mix! This has got everything you need, and even moor! Yes, Vincent De Moor! But all jokes aside, this is an insane mix. She has picked these records, and of course she had to pick them, as they are fantastically beautifully composed records. If I can picture Heaven, it would have these songs. She starts off strong, and continues with 27 amazing records. Some of these I've not heard in a long time, or even at all. Or maybe heard different versions of them. But I have been hooked since the first play, and still am I absorbing the music, since 7am. It's now 6pm. I'll never stop. These songs are just gorgeous. The best one? ''Stars Collide''. Come on, that's just amazing. ''Shivers'' close second and ''I Believe'' third. Would you agree? It's been a wicked year for Trance Mam, hope she continues for many years to come. Make sure you give her a follow on Soundcloud, she's got plenty of mixes you want to listen to!

It's been an eventful week, and it's only Tuesday! Can you believe it? Not even halfway there, and it's been a busy old week. But to get me through today, I've been listening to the same mix, over and over. And I would only do that if it was a good mix, worth my time. And obviously, when it comes to Jungle & Oldskool, you immediately think of Mickey Beam. This DJ has got a channel full of mixes like the one you are about to listen to, and they are glorious! The one I recently discovered is yet another beautiful one. So what's in store today? Well, Mickey is taking us back to the 90s again, with a lovely 1991 to 1995 Jungle/Oldskool mix. I was way too young to understand it at the time, but over the years have I become to love the early 90s even more and more. And Mickey has put some big hitters in this mix. Starting with one of the biggest rave anthems of the 90s, but he doesn't stop there. It is hit after hit, and they certainly are wicked. Not wicked as in that film I will not watch. Nah, the good wicked. The kind that makes your car speakers tremble with fear. Boy, the first time I heard this mix, and when the bass dropped, it dropped hard. Already had my windscreen chipped (stone chip), and I was afraid that the bass would make the crack even bigger, wider, and maybe even shatter the glass. It didn't, which made me happy. But it did pack a punch and a half, and it's certainly something I needed to hear today. I needed the power, the punch, and Mickey delivered! Lennie De Ice - We Are I.E. Noise Factory - The Fire M-Beat - Booyaka Noise Factory - Skin Teeth Roni Size & DJ Die - Music Box Human Being - The Box Opened M-Beat - Rumble Fusion - Love For The World (Remix) Tango - Project 1 '94 The House Crew - Super Hero (My Knight) DJ Gunshot - Wheel 'N' Deal Noise Factory - Futroid Lewie - Jungle Love Part 2 Noise Factory - Straight From The Bedroom Miami feat Buju Banton - Champion M-Beat - Shuffle Brainkillers - Loving Dem 2 Ruff - Nice Tune Trinity - Gangsta Jonny L - I'm Leavin' A lovely mix. It has seriously been on since 6am, and it's now 6pm. And I don't even care if my neighbours like it or not, they just have to live with it! It's yet another solid mix with some serious hitters. Not extremely well known with names from the early 90s, but a few I did recognise. But it's all about the music. This mix has only been online for a few days, but already did it receive some positive feedback. And I can only conclude with the same feedback. It's yet another wonderful mix by Mickey, and the tracks selected are insane. Only love and appreciation for this mix, and the early 90s. They were amazing, weren't they? I wish I was old enough to have gone to the early 90s raves, that would have been epic. But unfortunately my parents decided to conceive me in 1983. Very selfish of them. All jokes aside, this is a slamming mix. Especially when 'Loving' hits. What a brilliant record. A brilliant record in a brilliant mix. Go on, press play, I know you are eager to do so!

It seems to be that Freeform is making some kind of 'comeback' on Soundcloud, because I keep seeing more and more Freeform mixes, with old and new stuff, by well known names and new names. Only a few days ago did someone called Lone Raver upload a mix, with 15 Freeform records in it. You know I had to jump on it, right? I wouldn't say I'm a Freeform expert, but I am surely an enthusiast, and love to hear more mixes like this one. So I had to jump on it, and here's what I think of it. Lone Raver, not a name I do recognise, but it's certainly one I will look out for. Maybe the reason why I've never encountered the name, because he's a lone raver. Like me, perhaps. But thankfully because of the Lone Raver's mix, I now know the name, and will see if there's more out there. As the mix not only contains Freeform records by some of the biggest names in the scene, but also a few of Lone Raver's own records! As said, the name didn't ring a bell, but after hearing a few of Lone Raver's records, I am intrigued. What's behind this lone raver? Where did the lone raver come from? What's the deal, basically? Does anyone know? OK, now back to the mix. It's a nice hour long, and it's got, according to the Lone Raver, 15 Freeform weapons! That's certainly a statement, and I'll be the judge of that! BBE - Seven Days And One Week (Lone Raver Bootleg Intro) DJ Quicksilver - Free (Lone Raver Bootleg) Lone Raver - Collide K-Wire - Calm Before The Storm Fracus - Rezkah (Acid Mix) Darwin - Neonized Mantra Lone Raver - Afterlight Darwin - Kiss The Strobelight Lone Raver - Calling To Me Digital Commandos - Still Dreaming (Solution Remix) Arkade - Greatest Adventure (A.B vs K-Wire Remix) Stoker - True World Tamerax - Mainline Lone Raver - Twisted Signals Impulse Riders - Warrior DNA Wow, a lot of 'new' stuff in here I've not heard before. And also the Lone Raver's own stuff, it's really a great mix. If you love Freeform and you want to hear something new and refreshing, give this Twisted Freeform mix a go. I think it's linked to the Lone Raver's new EP, released on Brutal Kuts. That's an achievement itself, but to then use your own songs to compose this mix, is great. But are the tracks great? Well, the first one annoys me. The original is crap. Radio overkill. So I would just skip that record, unless you like it. Certainly give it a go. But to me it all goes bonkers when 'Afterlight' is played, one of Lone Raver's records. What an insane record! Reminds me of Stamina Records and the music they released back in the day. A wicked Freeform anthem and a half, that's for sure. But besides the first song in this mix, they are all solid as a rock. Nothing to complain about. Normally I would, but not today. Freeform always makes me slightly happier, and now I am happy, so there you go. A happy Dutchman is always good. A wicked introduction into the world of the Lone Raver. Not alone anymore.
