A new day, a new artist found. And this one I found because Technikal told me to listen to her mix. And if Technikal says anything, we all follow. He was right. I clicked the Soundcloud link on Facebook to Donna-Marie's mix, and it has been a pleasant surprise. Not really sure if I have seen her name anywhere before, but I will certainly keep my eyes peeled for more music, after hearing her promo mix for her album. I genuinely thought it was a mix, focussed on the UK Hardcore vocalist Donna Marie, but that wasn't the case. This upcoming producer/DJ has been working with Technikal for, and I quote, '... in putting this album together'. And we all know that if Alf is working on something, the result will be good. No half arsed stuff being released, only quality. But the focus today is on her album mix, and what she has to offer to the world. So it's time for the tracklist. And if you are like me, unaware of who she is, this tracklist might not mean a lot (right now), but maybe you should dive straight into the mix (Soundcloud player underneath the review). You choose. 01. Donna-Marie - Breathe 02. Donna-Marie - Mesmerise 03. Donna-Marie - Transcend 04. Donna-Marie - Hypnotise 05. Donna-Marie - Hallucinate 06. Donna-Marie - Close Your Eyes 07. Donna-Marie - Reverie 08. Donna-Marie - I Know 09. Donna-Marie - Connected 10. Donna-Marie - The Law Of Rhythm 11. Donna-Marie - Reflection 12. Donna-Marie - To Infinity To be fair, this is her second album mix, and I haven't heard the first one. Should I? Well, I will, but not right now (got to do some Xmas shopping), but when I return, I will. So far this mix has been extremely pleasant to me. And I was kind of expecting it, if you know what I mean? I love each and every record made and used in this mix. So relaxing and calm, and even when you look at each track name, you cannot feel but sense a relaxing vibe. And that's exactly what you will get, once you press play on this mix. Progressive stuff is always nice to hear on a Saturday morning. But also on other days too. Don't let the focus be on Saturday only: if you want to listen to this on a Tuesday, who is stopping you? Donna-Marie is an artist who has made an extremely nice mix, and is on my radar right now. Each and every record is carefully made, and smoothly mixed together in this hour long chill vibe. The world around me stopped for an hour, and I was in the zone. The pleasantly surprised zone. With records like the ones used for this mix, and only having 112 followers on Soundcloud, I am surprised. I've got the feeling that Donna-Marie will go far, and we will hear more from her in the upcoming future. I've got only positive comments. Nothing negative to mention. This mix is definately worth your time. It was worth my hour. I feel so relaxed right now, it's unbelievable! Make sure you check out the album (when it's released). Don't know anything about a release date, but you internet music lovers will keep yourself occupied, and follow her on social media!

Lindisfarne Festival. I've never heard of this event, but it turns out, it's quite a big event. This event took place this year from Thursday the 29th of August until Sunday the 1st of September, and the line-up was huge. And I do mean huge. So many areas, so many acts... most of them I've never even heard of. I think the area 'High TIde' contained the most known artists to me: Goldie, Ragga Twins, Slipmatt, Dream Frequency, and of course DJ Smurf. Now we all know DJ Smurf for being a bit daft from time to time.And some might think he only plays funny Hardcore/Terror tunes with smurf sounds in them. He does a little more than that, you know? His set was recorded, and for an hour long you are feeling the oldskool vibes. And those vibes, ladies and gentlemen, are the best ones on God's given Earth. Fuck the rest, oldskool is the best. And he played a few wicked anthems. According to his Soundcloud page, he really enjoyed his set at this High Tide tent, and I don't blame him. There was another Smurf mix I wanted to review, but couldn't find the tracklist that easily. So I quickly went on his page and saw that he had another set online. And this one has got a full tracklist, so here it is: 01. DJ Smurf - Dippedy Dukkja (135 Mix) 02. Pleasure Game - Le Seigneur Des Tenebres (Terminator Mix) 03. N-Joi - Adrenaline (De-construction) 04. T99 vs Smart Systems - Tingler 99 (Smurf Mashup) 05. Human Resource - Dominator (Original Mix) 06. DJPC - Insomniak (Lagoa Extreme Mix) (Smurf DJ Friendly Edit) 07. Dr. Dre vs L.A. Style feat Eminem - James Brown Forgot About Dre (Mashup) 08. Phenomania - Who Is Elvis (+9 Mix) 09. Dyewitness - Observing The Earth 10. Robin Wants Revenge - Robin Wants Revenge (Remastered) 11. Neon - Don't Mess With This Beat (Instrumental) 12. D-Shake - Techno Trance (Yaaaahh) 13. Digital Orgasm - Moog Eruption 14. Shades Of Rhythm - Extacy 15. Mig 29 - Mig 29 16. Synthesis - House Time (Extended Mix) 17. Mental Cube - Q (Santa Monica Mix) 18. Suburban Delay - Energy Rush 19. Praga Khan - Injected With A Poison (Adam's Power Mix) 20. Love Decade - So Real (Power Mix) 21. The Prodigy - Your Love A good looking tracklist, doesn't it? I really enjoyed a few of the forgotten gems, and of course Smurf had to play them. There are some dope records in here, and I think it deserves at least one listen from you, reader, today. But, before we continue, let me talk about the bear in the closet. Is that even a saying? Well, there are two records I do not like. The mashup that used the original L.A.Style record, which was my first ever single, and sadly DJ Smurf's own record. Smurf's were big in the Netherlands when I grew up, and I always hated those blue annoying creatures. I do not know what the evil bloke was called in other countries, but he was called Gargamel in the Netherlands. I related to him very quickly. Who wants to live with those creatures? Not a fan of anything blue Smurf related. But if we are talking about the human Smurf, that's another story. Besides the two tracks I do not like, there are shitloads of excellent tunes in here, including the best one I haven't heard in years: 'Insomniak' by DJPC. Fuck me sideways and up & down, what an anthem! But don't forget 'Dominator' by Human Resource, and N-Joi's 'Adrenaline'. Three absolute classics, but 'Insomniak' remains my favourite, be it the original version of this DJ friendly edit. A good set, all in all. Really enjoyed this trip down memory lane. I've had another mix in mind to review (the 4 hour long mix), but as I said, couldn't find the mix. Maybe that's next time. Another trip down memory lane. But for those who love the classic Hardcore/Breakbeat/Techno classics, enjoy this set by the one and only (likeable) Smurf. Not those fecking creatures.

If there's one event I would like to go to, it's Ouwe Stijl Is Botergeil. There's nothing that excites me more than the oldskool sound, the early sound. The sound that made me fall in love with Hardcore. And I'm not the only one. This event has been going on for many years now, and they are still going strong. Starting back in 2008, they are still keeping the oldskool sound alive and kicking. And 2020 hasn't even started yet, and they've got two editions planned already! How about that? Early style is butter horny. Damn right it is! Faniac was one of the DJs performing at last month's edition, alongside DJ Promo, the Destroyer, Bio Forge, Not A DJ, Koney, The Enforcer, Apac, Kaycie, and Xcruciator. Proper oldskool set you would expect, and it's exactly what you get. And you know what? Faniac's set is full of those records, records I've not heard of before! And I'm not kidding! Maybe these are new records in the style of the early Hardcore sound, or genuinely old records, but on compilations I've never heard or seen before. And it gives me a slight erection. Oh gosh, the early sound is just so addictive. Time for the tracklist. The set itself is rather short (44 minutes long), but within those 44 minutes you do get 17 excellent records. With only 1 ID-less record (if you know it, please comment below), it's an early Christmas present! 01. Enemycore 909 - 1961 02. Hyperactive-D - Ride The Rhythm 03. Tha Real G - Salvation 04. ID - ID 05. Scott Brown - Rave Generator 06. 909 Junkies - Trigger Finger 07. Drokz & Tails - Big Brother Is Not Happy 08. Mr. Brown - Waxation 09. Peckerhead - Fire & Frustration 10. Distorted Dogs - Smoke The Ho 11. Xim - Fused Energies 12. Peckerhead - Real Life Awaits 13. Undunn - Epsilon Eridani 14. Lenz - Trip To DSI 15. Imbezile - 2 My Mind 16. Kamikaze - Trip To aTAMI 17. Lenz - Early Back In Town I do know some of these artists, like Scott Brown, Drokz & Tails, Peckerhead, but all the others I've not come across. Or maybe I have, but not paid enough attention. Shame on me. Anyway, Faniac's set. It's on Soundcloud and it's a free download. So if you are into Early Hardcore, and you fancy hearing some obscure Hardcore classics, you are in for a treat. I seriously do not have a clue how he found these gems. I really enjoyed his set. See, this is what I mean by saying that I would like to go to Ouwe Stijl Is Botergeil. I'm digging his set a lot, and the vibes coming through my speakers is pure delight. Don't you rather hear this than the rubbish we've got on our radio nowadays? Please advise me if I'm wrong, but the record that plays around 6 minutes, is that 'Salvation' by Tha Real G? Whatever the track name, that record is my favourite of this mix. And the last one used in this mix. But the record played around the 6 minute marker just reminds me of the early artcore stuff. The underground sound, remember that? I've got only love and admiration for this set. Big set by Faniac! I'll make sure that my health increases, and I will visit Ouwe Stijl Is Botergeil before I get too old, and have to rave on the dancefloor with a wheel chair and hearing aids.

Finnbarr. Who doesn't know him? This underrated Freeform producer has been making excellent Freeform music for years now, and finally someone has made this dedication mix. Why? Because Finnbarr deserves it. The music made by him is just genius, and pure Freeform, sometimes with a twist. And for once I can say that I've seen Finnbarr perform. God, what was the name of the event I went to in Bournemouth? Was it even Bournemouth? Christ, I forgot where it even was! But truth be told, I was drunk. So drunk, I fell asleep standing on the train back to London, that's how drunk I was. And it turns out a gift: my kip was good. Before we start talking about all the times I was drunk, let's focus on the mix. Again, this is a dedication mix made by M@rt!n-J, the all round mix master. He keeps on making mixes nearly on a weekly basis. This time he decided that it was time to make a mix of this 'great man', who has had indeed a lot of amazing releases on labels such as Stamina Records, and ReBuild Music, and more. Also a few collaborations with the mighty A.B can be found in this mix, and as an added bonus a few remixes made by Finnbarr. Freeform fanatics, it's time to delve into the tracklist. If you've never heard of Finnbarr, let this mix be your introduction. And I would urge you to do some research after: this man deserves credit for his music! 01. Finnbarr - In Your Eyes 02. Sunburst - Eyeball (Finnbarr's Larger Remix) 03. Finnbarr - The Bornless One 04. Motorcycle - As The Rush Comes (Finnbarr Remix) 05. Finnbarr - Havin' It Larger 06. A.B vs Finnbarr - Stick Together 07. Finnbarr - The Path 08. Finnbarr - Beauty & The Beat 09. Finnbarr - E=mc2 10. Finnbarr - Freedive 11. Finnbarr - Chant Of The Freeformers 12. Finnbarr - Hidden in The Light 13. A.B vs Finnbarr - Dead Fairy 14. Finnbarr - Losing My Mind 15. A.B vs Finnbarr - Guggle 16. Finnbarr - Tobor The Robot What a wicked tracklist, and what a wicked mix! I've really enjoyed myself, listening to this fine Freeform mix. Me and the missus had a few rough days due to family bereavement, so to come back to the UK, we had to quickly adapt to normal life. For me this mix was the key reason why I'm smiling now. It's good, and it reminds me of Bournemouth (quick Google search showed me it was indeed Bournemouth: BMH Freeform). The good ol' days. Wicked Freeform. What else would you like to hear? And the best thing is, is the fact that Finnbarr knows how to make excellent Freeform music, so all records used for this mix are good. Well, 'Tobor The Robot' is something different. Still need to get used to this mindf*ck of a record. But let's dive straight into the best record of this mix, and probably the main reason why I love Finnbarr's music... 'Beauty & The Beat'. Have you ever heard this record before? It's just pure magical. That's my kind of Freeform. Got to give M@rt!n-J credit again for another wicked dedication mix, and credit to Finnbarr, for being a fantastic producer. Sadly slightly underrated, but hopefully this mix will get people talking, and more interested in Finnbarr.

Sunday, the perfect day to chill. And what suits this day better than Acid music? For those who just thought I gave them the perfect excuse to use acid: I am talking about Acid music, not drugs. Anyway, the mix. It's a mix made by Jerome Hill 6 years ago, and if you want to hear the classic anthems from 1987 until 2010, you are going to love this mix, if you haven't discovered it already. Acid is a style which can be described as basic music making, but it's absolutely not! This was the birth sound of everything EDM related. Acid House and Techno have ment so much to us all, raving community,and yet sometimes it's just described as being basic. Yes, maybe the equipment used to compose these records are lacking any power (your mobile watch has got more power in it, compared to the PCs used back in 1990), but that doesn't mean it's lacking anything. It's the complete oppossite; this is timeless music. 32 years later and people are still loving it. I am one of those who love Acid music. Acid House is just so perfect! I am truly in love, even though throughout its existense I was too young to understand what it was, and the true meaning behind it. But 32 years later I am feeling the same as those ravers in underground clubs, bunkers, and those that raved at remote locations, like in the middle of a bloody field. I am feeling it. And so should you! 01. Adrenalin M.O.D - Track This 02. Party Boy - Twilight Zone 03. Laurent X - Machines 04. Bobby Konders - Nervous Acid 05. Charles B - Lack Of Love 06. Rodney Bakerr - Flashback 07. MC Juice - Juiceapella 08. Adrenalin M.O.D. - Ecstasy 09. Technodelia - Technodellia 10. Phuture - Acid Tracks 11. Kool Rock Steady - I'll Make You Dance 12. Matt Whitehead - To The Beat (Don't 20) 13. Jared Wilson - Paris Massacre 14. Gesloten Cirkel - Swedish Woman 15. Basic Soul Unit - Jak'd Freq (Made Up Sound Remix) 16. Ceephax Acid Crew - Radiotin EP 17. Jared Wilson - Office Analogue 18. Moody Boys - Funky Zulu You're So Fresh 19. Basic Penetration - Penetration 20. Outrage - Too Much Energy 21. Ecstasy Club - Jesus Loves The Acid 22. Fuse - Substance Abuse 23. Fuse - FU2 24. Bam Bam - Give It To Me 25. Essit Musique - Essit Musique 26. Jared Wilson - Ghetto Blaster 27. Underground Resistance - Seawolf 28. Freddy Fresh - Punched Out 29. Wee Papa Girl Rappers - Heat It Up (Saunderson Remix) 30. Public Energy - Three 'o' Three 31. LD. Jam Inc - Uptown Dub If you are old enough to remember these records, credits for still appreciating this music. Credits deserved to those who keep the sound alive and kicking. And credits to Jerome Hill, for making this nearly hour and 40 minute long mix, containing 31 records, and taking us to paradise on Earth. The good thing about this mix, is the fact that he has also used 'brand new' Acid records. Not made 30 years ago, but back in 2010. Using the same approach to the sound, it just shows that the sound has never died,and will simply never die. Acid is the music that most of us (oldies) grew up with,and appreciated. I can only give Jerome Hill credit for this wicked mix. Sorry it took 6 years for me to find it, but at least it's still online, and we can appreciate it. The best record? To choose from 31 records wasn't easy, but 'Jesus Loves The Acid' to me remains the finest Acid House record of all time. Just such an anthem. Play it at any event, and the crowd will lose themselves. A fantastic mix. Check this bad boy out! Keep it Acid, baby!

Stamina Records. The all mighty Stamina Records. Such an important factor in the Freeform scene. If you think of Freeform, you are probably thinking of this label at the same time. Or, seeing as it's near Christmas, you are thinking of basting the turkey and the video that went online a few years ago. You know what I'm talking about. It was kind of sexy though. Anyway, you will always think of this label. It's the most powerful label in the Freeform scene, and we all know it. Presenting to us the finest Freeform and known for delivering only the highest quality music. And I'm a fan, if you haven't guessed it already. A.B is the man behind this label, and what he does, only he does best. But this dedication mix hasn't been made by A.B, but by TCD's regular M@rt!n-J. The man who makes dedication/appreciation mixes on a weekly basis. He's made several Freeform mixes before, and they were focussed on this label too, and 4 days ago he uploaded this brand spanking new mix, with records that were released on Stamina Records' 'Summer Slammers Vol. 6'. If you haven't guessed it yet, it's already out (the Summer has already finished). This release contained 12 awesome records, which you can find in M@rt!n-J's mix. It's worth checking out. A nice straight forward mix. Freefrom from the first to the last second. And boy, there are some excellent tunes in here! You will probably need tissues once you've seen the tracklist, and you need a whole lot more once you click the player underneath this mix! 01. Substanced - Evanescent 02. Transcend - Exploration 03. Eufeion & K-Wire - The Hunt 04. Gercore - Legacy 05. Digital Commandos - Still Dreaming 06. Kounta Kulture - Valhalla 07. Douglas feat Dark Angel - The All Seeing Eye 08. A.B, Ales & Dani Delirio - Arkesus (Random But Raw Remix) 09. DJ Neon - Tribute 10. Transcend - Neural 11. Cube::Hard & Douglas - Codex 12. Transcend - Reality This mix is just sexy from the first to the last second. You are all aware of my ongoing love for Freeform since the mid 2000s. For me it's just so damn sexy, and so exclusive. It's a scene that deserves to be more, and without a shadow of a doubt has got the finest producers out there, some even better than the biggest producers known to man kind. But that's just my opinion. If you are reading this, that means you love Freeform. Or you just clicked the link because it contained the word 'Free'. Well, that's not a lie, this mix is free to download, and I do hope you appreciate it as much as I do. Freeform is just so damn good. Heavenly music, and from time to time even better than Trance music. Oh snap, did I just really say that? Yes, the EDM Trance sound has never been my favourite kind of music. Freeform 24/7, 362 days of the year (I'll give Xmas music some credit too though, and I know the missus will be extremely angry if I don't play Xmas music). M@rt!n-J's mix is as tight as you can expect it to be. He used a lot of flanger effects, which to me weren't necessary though, but hey, he's having fun behind his decks. Is flanger the correct one I'm describing? Well, he's having fun. It was difficult to pick one amazing record, but if I had to, it was going to be the greatest record of all time, 'Codex'. Yes, Transcend, Kounta Kulture, Gercore, Substanced, and more, have made excellent tunes, but 'Codex' just remains a masterpiece by Cube::Hard and Douglas. Fuck me, the build up is something you don't hear (and feel) that often. I'm loving this mix, M@rt!n-J. You've done it again!

I am not sure if I have already reviewed this set, but deep down inside I'm sure that I have. It's weird that all my old reviews have disappeared, but hey, who really cares? If I have or haven't, let's not think about what consequences it might have on the alternate universe, but for me it does not bother me in the slightest. I will happily review this right now, in another year, and maybe in 10 years. There are multiple reason why I should keep this set alive and kicking, and the main reason being that it's a set by the mighty Scott Brown. I know there are a lot of Scott Brown fanatics out there, who love a bit of his UK Hardcore music on a daily basis. But sadly today this is not for them. This is an Early Hardcore set, and for those who are unaware of what Scott used to do, it's time for you to look up his back catalogue, and start to learn of the wizardry that this man has created since the early 90s. If there's one person who is a die-hard Gabber, it's Scott. It's in his nature to be an Early Hardcore lover. He created this unique sound during the 90s, and became famous for his sound. Many Europeans embraced the Scott man (or the Scotchman) for his music, and even though he's not really known for his UK Hardcore/Happy Hardcore music, he's still extremely loved for his Early Hardcore music. And he knows a thing or two about how to play the finest sets, all over the world. Reading the comments of 2014s Ghosttown, people all seemed to agree that his set was absolutely astonishing. And frankly, it was. Let's show the world what kind of records he played during this magical night. 01. Scott Brown - Detonated 02. Lord Of Hardcore - Go Bezerk 03. Inner Destruction - Bang To The Beat (Scott Brown Mix) 04. Active Force - Head Like A Pacman 05. The Scotchman - Asylum 06. Lord Of Hardcore - Work That Sukka! 07. Bass Reaction - Technophobia 08. Hyperact - My Best Friend (Dirty Mix) 09. Dune - Hardcore Vibes (South Bound Mix) 10. The Scotchman - Happy Vibes 11. Q-Tex vs Technosis - Kaos 12. Bass X - Hardcore Disco (Album Mix) 13. Sonar Zone - Adrenaline (Scott Brown Mix) 14. Ultimate Buzz - Check Da Bass (Scott Brown Mix) 15. Q-Tex - E-Creation (1995 Mix) 16. Mr. Brown - Jump!!! 17. Hyperact - House Aggression 18. E-Rick & Tactic - What The Fuck? (Scott Brown Remix) 19. Technosis - Genorate (Scott Brown Mix) 20. Bass X - Mother Fucker 21. Lord Of Hardcore - Attack The Dancefloor 22. Genaside - Eliminator 23. Annihilator - I'll Show You My Gun 24. Darrien Kelly & Scott Brown - Geleihoofd Now that's pornographic material. You cannot say that you have looked at this tracklist and not have something happening in your undergarment section. Movement has happened, and moist levels have gone right up. There's no way of hiding it. Everyone around you can see it. And I fully understand why you would feel like that. If you were at this event and watched the legend play, you had the night of your life. Many agreed that this set was absolutely amazing, and truth be told, I've been listening to this set over and over again, and I still find it each time wicked to the bone. True Hardcore classics. Some a bit underrated though. But still all Scott Brown records that the true Hardcore fanatics love. I just love the fact that Scott's set is so flawless. And the way he presents these records to the crowd at Ghosttown, is just perfect. I reckon they weren't ready for the Scottish madness he represents. I've told you in previous reviews that he's a legend, and that he has been one of my all time greatest producers, and this set just proves why we should cherish this man for what he has done for the European Hardcore scene. Don't underestimate his strength as a producer and a DJ. God, I'd wish I was there at Ghosttown. This set is flawless, and one of Scott's finest sets ever. Worth checking out, trust me.

Uncle Slippers 30 years in the game, who would have thought that? Unbelievable! I remember meeting him for the first time a few years ago, and since that moment he's been a legend to me. And also when he started doing his Facebook mixes, those were legendary. Slipmatt is a legend, and is celebrated all over the world. Also in Australia, where only a month ago he celebrated his 30 years in the game with his own party! The set I'm about to talk about is by someone who I've never heard of before. Oki Doki? That's my catchphrase for everything! Okey dokey. But it turns out I was bigging up this artist! Well, Oki Doki played alongside Fuxxy, Hutcho, Next Jen, Dair, and Diminish. And of course the grandad of the scene, the oldest person at any rave: Slipmatt. When I spotted this mix, I went straight onto it, with an open mind. Well, I have to, I'm a blogger. But the set really surprised me! I was expecting oldschool stuff, but I was wrong. All pleasantly sounding UK Hardcore songs! It turns out that this lady is the Queen of UK Hardcore and J-Core on the West Coast of Australia! I've never been, so I can not compare this title, but what I do know that this set is all you need to hear today! Happiness throughout! 01.

Douglas & Gammer - All The Tears I've Cried A good looking tracklist, it has to be said. Diverse as well. Lovely selection by Oki Doki. And a good choice by Slipmatt to ask her to play at his event. I really enjoyed this set. Uplifting, happy, and all in all a nice UK Hardcore set. It did contain a few records I've not heard before, and it made me pleasantly feel surprised when I heard them. A nice mash of UK Hardcore, Powerstomp, Freeform, and whatever you call the EDM side of UK Hardcore (EDMCore I'd like to call it). But is it worth listening to this? Yes. Hell yeah. I've been stuck in a traffic jam for nearly 3 hours, and I listened to this set at least 3 times. I had to stop off somewhere too, so that added another few minutes of Oki Doki's set. There are a few records I do not like, but that's a personal thing. You might like them. Hell, you might even love them, but I'm not a fan of S3RL, or remixes of all time Hardcore classics like 'My Little Fantasy'. The original still remains the best. But which record is the best? Well, that's a difficult question, because Oki Doki used a lot of amazing records to compose this mix. I pick 'Still Alive' by Aethral. Good tune, good vocals. A nice set. Really the highlight of my day! A few small mixing errors and a few tracks I didn't like, but still appreciated the vibe this mix has generated! More Oki Doki please!

From UK Hardcore to Early Hardcore. You name it, I review it. And I found a nice Early Hardcore set on Soundcloud, uploaded 5 years ago, by DJ Niro. Recorded at the Maze. Hosted by both ISP and Ouwe Stijl Is Botergeil. And if you were there, you must have had a brilliant time. Let me just name the biggest names from the event: Faniac, Leviathan, MD&A, Bountyhunter, Dano, Arjuna. How about that, eh? That's a nice looking line-up. One of the sets I've found was by DJ Niro. This is an hour and a half long set, and in it you will find a whole lot of Early Hardcore records. 30 excellent records, selected and mixed together by DJ Niro (I thought it was DJ Miro first). And to be fair, the selection of records is unique: most of these are forgotten gems. Truth be told, he had to play a few of those well known classics, but also a lot of forgotten anthems, some I've not even heard in a decade or so. And that's obviously why OSIB exists: to make sure that the oldskool sound is still alive, kicking, and much appreciated. The tracklist is a beast. Coming from an Early Hardcore lover, that should mean something. Let me show you the absolutely stunning tracklist: 01. Human Resource - Dominator (Dymar & Maddox Remix) 02. Noize Suppressor vs Placid K - Keep It Smile 03. DJ Lancinhouse meets The Stunned Guys - Fuckin' Sweat 04. Painbringer - Words Of '95 05. Reyes - Rock With Me 06. DJ Promo - Kill Tha Noise 07. Lunalotic - I Can't Hear You 08. DJ Epitaph - Da Core Will Never Die 09. Nitrogen - Bad Bwoy 10. Paradox - What Is Wisdom 11. Scott Brown - Rock With The Sound 12. Masoko Solo - Pessa Pessa (Buzzy Goes BZRK Mix) 13. DJ Promo - Insane Methodz 14. Annihilator - Realm Of Darkness 15. Myztic - To Da Rhythm 16. DJ Roy - Music That Lasts Forever 17. Predator - 20.000 Hardcore Members 18. Bio-Forge - Turbulence 19. Nosferatu - Inspiration Vibes 20. DJ Alex - In Control (Climax Remix) 21. The Prophet & Omar Santana - Power Pill 22. 3 Da Hard Way - Original Rude Boyz (Oh Oh Omar's Mix) 23. Predator - Out Of Control 24. Omar Santana - Omar, Fuck It Up Kid 25. 3 Da Hard Way - Assault In Zwolle (Jokey's Cellblock Mix) 26. Predator - Just Real-x 27. Knightvision - In The Darkness (I Was Made) 28. Nosferatu - Hardcore DNA 29. Bio-Forge - No 1 S-Capes Us 30. Archatos - The Strength Of Unity That's an insane looking tracklist. Wowzers. Credit to DJ Niro for finding all these amazing records! I've not come across 80% of these records in at least a decade. DJ Niro's record collection must be impressive for him to even remember these records. I have really enjoyed this early Hardcore set, and let's just jump into the biggest issue with this set: the MC. I do not know who he is, but his mic level is extremely off, and also he does not know when to speak, and when to remain silent. He kind of ruins the set completely. It must have been a completely different story for the ravers there, but hearing him during this recording is just such a let down. DJ Niro does keep the ravers on their feet, and he does it well. Some small mixing errors have cropped up, but nothing too major. I'm still impressed with the records he has selected. Really awesome looking tracklist. And the best record? '20.000 Hardcore Members'. Just chilling vibes I get when I hear this record. A good set, kind of ruined by the MC. But at least he doesn't scream constantly throughout the set. That would have been a complete nightmare. Still worth your precious time though. So give this set a go, and appreciate the forgotten early sound!

I'm surely not the only one excited for Christmas? Am I really? Well, a lot has happened, and Christmas is looking good this year. And I live in a house where the wife is totally obsessed with Santa and his festive season. So I've been hearing Mariah a lot, Wham is being pushed down my throat for a while now, and all those other festive tunes are literally the first thing I hear when I wake up. Also, you might have remembered, I am a raver. Is there something on the world wide web for me? Is there a Christmas treat for me out there, and also for you? Well, yes! If you don't know, back in 2015 Lethal Theory gave us a lot for free! The mix you are about to hear is mixed by the mighty Alex Prospect, and that's not the only present from these guys: also 7 free tracks! Can't remember which ones they were, but if you go to Lethal Theory's Soundcloud page, you will find them easily. Or just read the section underneath this mix, which also has a short description of the free tracks (jeez, I just completely missed that, I am a dopey twat). So a free mix, and free records by Joey Riot, Alex Prospect, Haywire, M-Project, Starkiss, Outforce, Mob (or is it MOB?), and Obie. Is there anything else you would rather want to hear right now? Some are sharing memes on Facebook about it being too early for Xmas and I disagree. Let's get all festive right now, and play this monster mix, released 4 years ago! And who was the one who provided the mix with a tracklist? Yep, me! Hehe. 01. Alex Prospect x Gammer - Bad Bitch 02. Joey Riot vs Starkiss - Party All Day, Party All Night 03. MOB & Enemy - Iron Heart 04. Joey Riot & Klubfiller - Riot In Da Club (Original Mix) 05. Alex Prospect & Obie - Viper 06. MOB - I'll Be Good (2015 Mix) 07. Alex Prospect x Callum Higby x Rhezie - Watch Me Run 08. Darwin & Obie - Futureshock (Gammer Remix) 09. Alex Prospect x Joey Riot - Move Your Body So 7 free records, and a 9 record long mini mix. Christmas has come early this year (or 4 years too late?). We have got nothing to complain about. Embrace the festive season, and press play on this mix. Alex has done his best back in 2015 to make this mix work, and 4 years later it still rocks. And trust me, if I say that, you know that I mean it. TCD never lies. Well,white lies are just common though. But never lie about music. OK, let's discuss the biggest disappointment: the length of this mix. It's a mini mix, but I'd wish it was a tad longer. I'm loving the music. There were only 9 tracks used in this mix, but none of them are boring. None are shite. ALL of them are ace, UK Hardcore classics. Dancefloor smashers. I might be wrong, but when 'Iron Heart' was released, it was the most talked about record in our precious scene, right? It's not really a Christmas mix though. Don't think that you hear bells, or anything else Christmassy after the intro. But that doesn't make this less festive. This has made me a happy bunny, and we all love a bunny during the festive season on a plate (unless you are vegan: you will probably looking a brocolli up and down). You can play each of these records throughout the year, not just now. Anyway, whatever my opinion is, the real important thing here is, is that this mix is dope, and for free! Who needs George, Mariah, Kelly, or anyone else destroy the festive season, when you've got the finest artists from LT instead? You make that decision. It was an easy one for me. LT all the way!

If you love Drum & Bass, I do not need to explain who SaSaSaS are. These legends are dominators in the scene, and whenever they perform, you know the party is about to blow into a billion pieces. If you are attending a party and they are performing, you will see something happen that you won't see anywhere else. Pure madness, pure dedication, pure DnB. So it was an obvious choice for the organisation behind Westfest to get them to perform at this year's party. The event only took place a few days ago, and their set is now online (with a tracklist). Are you ready for the madness? My missus wasn't. She walked into the kitchen when I was listening to this set, and she was like 'wtf is that?'. She isn't a fan of DnB, so I'm guessing she had never heard of SaSaSaS before, and she won't hear them again after the kitchen incident. The crew are just pure fire, and when you give the MCs the microphones, you know that they will demolish the people's eardrums. Unstoppable from the first to the last second. But don't just assume that this is all about the MCs, the DJs are as important as the MCs. And during their hour long set they decided to give us constant eargasms by playing 64 records in 59 minutes. Will you Adam and Eve it? That's just insane. I know what the mission is of SaSaSas. The ravers who are witnessing them are not able to acknowledge what just happened. How can you describe this set without mentioning the words 'unbelievable', 'fast', 'powerful' , and 'insane'. After a set by the legends you need a tissue, a cigarette, and some sleep. The feeling is similar to having sex for an hour, and when it ends, you need time to recover. Rough sex though, not very passionate.SaSaSaS do not take any prisoners. I might try to play this during the missus and myself's bedroom antics, see if she will appeciate the fire. I highly doubt it. Anyway, before my stupid blog becomes unreadable and more like a sex expert's diary, let's see the tracklist. Thanks to SaSaSaS for the tracklist. 01. DJ Phantasy x Macky Gee - Closer (Instrumental) 02. Macky Gee - Business VIP 03. Macky Gee x DJ Phantasy - Danger VIP 04. Barely Alive - Wompum (Macky Gee Remix) 05.

Macky Gee - Like Me I just love their set, can't you tell? An hour of absolute mayhem and madness, and the result is a wicked set. Both DJ Phantasy and Macky Gee destroyed our eardrums with 64 records in 59 minutes. I still find it amazing that this is even possible! And the things is, it all sounds flawless. And the crowd does love it. The whistle crew was present at Westfest, and you can hear them throughout their set. The thing is, I've never seen them perform. I've only seen them in videos,and hear them on Soundcloud. Never had the chance to hear them perform live. So I've based my judgment on what I'm hearing, and obviously it's completely different to those who have seen them. I envy those people who have seen SaSaSaS. THEY DO BRING THE FIRE. The music is good. Excellent. And even the MCs do a great job. But seeing as English isn't my mother tongue (my second language) and I never listen to lyrics, I find it difficult to understand what each MC is saying. They are just too damn fast. Before I literally dissected their first sentence, they have already finished their 14th sentence. It's incredible what they do, and how the crowd knows nearly every rhyhme they are spitting. The only bit I can respond to is 'BO', if asked if anyone wants a reload. All jokes aside, I'm loving this set. It has made my day. Fire from the first to the last second, and also a fitting tribute to MC Stormin. This MC sadly passed away last year, but his legacy is still present, and will be forever! #bussit A set you need to hear. A set you need to experience. I will do my best to hear SaSaSaS at least once before I go. My health needs to improve, and once I'm back on my feet, I will go back and rave again. I must. Why, you might ask? Well, just listen to this set and tell me if you sat still? You can't, and neither could I. I'm a raver 24/7 365 days a year, and a set like this one just lights my fire. And the crowd's response is just insane! Goosebumps!

Yesterday I felt the urge to listen to some Hard Trance. And there was one record in particular I wanted to hear, which was made by Scot Project. This song was called 'L (I Want Your Love)'. We all know it, we all love it. So what I would normally do, is go to Soundcloud and see if there are any appreciation mixes on there, or megamixes by the artist themselves. And within about 2 minutes I found one with good audio quality, and a nice tracklist. It does not contain 'L', but that doesn't bother you? It doesn't bother me at all, seeing as I thought that this specific record was his best, but I was oh so wrong. I found this mix rather quickly, and was amazed by the tracklist. The mix, made by Audioholik, and it had some great reviews from those who heard this set. And I have to say that I'm rather surprised by the amount of wicked tracks made by Scot Project. I was a late fan of Hard Trance, and missed out on a lot to be fair. I caught a glimpse of the scene before my attention went somewhere else. Which is probably the stupidest thing I've ever done. What's not to love? It's hard, and it involves Trance music? Stupid boy I am. I should have paid attention and spend some money. I wish I had purchased some albums. A wicked set containing excellent records. Scot Project's 'L' is my favourite, but this set is filled with other anthems I should have heard when Hard Trance ruled the world. He has made some remarkable anthems over the years, but the 14 selected by Audioholik are truly something else, something unique. I was sitting in my audio room, constantly being amazed by the drops, the beats, the basses, the melodies, and I couldn't contain my happiness. I have been smiling from ear to ear, and this set has truly, and remarkably, made my day. The tracklist is a piece of art. De piece de resistance. That doesn't make any sense, but you know what I mean. Check it out, you Hard Trance nutters! 01. Beam vs Cyrus - Thunder In Paradise (Scot Project Remix) 02. Scot Project - FM1 (Feelin' Me) (Original Mix) 03. Derb - D.F.C. (Scot Project Remix) 04. Arome - Visions Of Paradise (Original Mix) 05. Orions Voice - Cockroaches (Scot Project Remix) 06. Scot Project - O (Overdrive) (Original Mix) 07. Microbots - Cosmic Evolution (Scot Project Remix) 08. Arome - Somebody (Hangover Help Mix) 09. Hypetraxx - Paranoid (Scot Project Remix) 10. Brooklyn Bounce - Club Bizarre (Scot Project Remix) 11. Yoda - Definitely (Scot Project Remix) 12. Sakin & Friends - Braveheart 2006 (Scot Project Remix) 13. Tocs - One (Scot Project Edit) 14. Arome - Visions Of Paradise (Scot Project Remix) Scot Project is the KING of euphoric build-ups. Just check out these tracks, and you will know what I mean. He loves to build up towards this climatic moment, and when it all comes together, it comes together in such a unique fashion, it's hard to sit still. I've been bouncing up and down here, and couldn't be any happier. Do I still consider 'L' to be his masterpiece? Nope. I've changed my perspective. All 14 are evenly as great as 'L', if not even greater. This unique and lost sound is still fresh as a daisy, and in 2019 I am still embracing it. Do I prefer Hard Trance over Trance? That's a difficult question, one I'll answer another day. But today, certainly today, I am happy to have found this mix. So many great anthems in here, carefully selected and mixed together. Audioholik's mix is really tight. It was difficult to pin point the best record of this mix, because there just so damn many. There were two that stood out the most 'FM1' and 'Visions Of Paradise', the original version. Crikey, these tracks are just pure gold. If you ever have to play a Hard Trance set and you are not playing any of these, are you even a DJ? All jokes aside, Scot Project is a legend. And this set proves to us all why he should be embraced even more. He has made some timeless anthems. Hard Trance, Hard House, Early Hardstyle, call it whatever you like, but to me it's heavenly music. And I couldn't care less what you call it. If this is the kind of music they play in Heaven, I won't be sad to have left my physical state. Scot Project is a boss. Definitely. What a blinding set, Audioholik!

The legend is back! Selectabwoy has returned with yet another new mix. Sadly I have missed it (by accident) but he kindly reminded me of it on Friday. Told him I was going to review it on Saturday, but that didn't happen. Ah well, one day too late is still acceptable, isn't it? I've already missed it, being released 11 days ago. As he puts it under the mix 'just in time for Halloween'. Well, fuck, missed that completely. We don't celebrate Halloween either, so there's another excuse. Anyway, before I go ranting about nothing and everything, let's talk a bit about this mix, and the DJ. Selectabwoy is my favourite DJ on Soundcloud right now. His mixes are ALWAYS ear pleasingly good, and he always delivers. And that's not me exaggerating it. You can go onto his Soundcloud channel, and be completely emerged into the darkest sound the early 90s had to offer. I sadly haven't had an opportunity to hear him play live, but one day that will happen. But to show you how much of a fan I am of his mixes: I nominated him this year for the DJ Mag top 100. He sadly didn't make it, but at least he got my vote. And with his latest mix, he has gone back to 1993. The year of the Hardcore Jungle/Darkcore/Techno sound. And it is sounding good. Be prepared to have the most amazing Sunday in a long time! Enjoy the tracklist, but I know you will! 01. Xenophobia - The Phoenix 02. Scott & Keith - Deranged (Bonus Drums) 03. Ratty - Bouncing 04. Johnny Jungle - Johnny (Bad Influence Remix) 05. Wax Doctor - Another Direction 06. Lemon D - Pursuit Thru The Darkness 07. Techno Bros - We Are ...... Techno Bros 08.

Foul Play - Finest Illusion (Illegal Mix) 23. DJ Phantasy - Satan Was An Angel 24. Metalheads - Saint Angel There we go. A proper oldschool tracklist. Looking at these tracklist always makes me wonder: what has happened to all these producers? What are they doing now? One hit wonders, and now doing carpentry, or maybe doing something else still in the music industry? But no matter what they are doing now, they have left a mark on the scene with their brilliant tunes. Selectabwoy's mix is as good as you would expect it to be. The comments all say that this mix is dope, and yeah, I would underline each comment. The mix is indeed dope, but would you expect anything else from Selectabwoy? I've really enjoyed the dark side of this music. I know we all love our music slightly darker and edgier, and Selectabwoy always delivers this. I highly recommend you visiting his Soundcloud channel for more awesome mixes. Hours of fun. And a quick overview shows him having 577 records on it? Bloody Nora, I've only discovered a handful! I've got some work to do here. Selectabwoy, if you are reading this, thanks for yet another epic mix. Only genuine classic anthems, and true underground anthems. I've really enjoyed myself, and have not found a single bad thing about this mix. As usual though. Get this mix right now. Let this take over your weekend!

If you were born in the Netherlands during the 70s or 80s, and you were a full on Hardcore fanatic during the 90s, you must have seen this compilation I'm talking about. You must have seen them in the Arcade stand, among other rather unusual compilations. The first instalment being released in 1996, and the fifth was released in 1997, and thankfully it died straight after it being released. I've got to admit, I did have these in my collection, but that's only because I bought everything released by Arcade, which was Hardcore related. But what an embarrasment it was. I had to Discogs it, and found out that they were produced by ID&T, but seeing as they were focussed on the mainstream public, they left the ID&T branding off, due to the stereotipocal use of the 'gabbers' on the cover. Fair point, ID&T. It isn't something to be proud of. Again something that made fun of the gabber community. If there were opportunities to fight against it, they were not been used. This compilation was named 'Real Hardcore', but did it do the name any justice? Was it real Hardcore, or just another way of getting gabbers to spend guilders (old Dutch coins)? I had fond memories of the anthems on here, but not the message that was shared with it. It made the gabber community stand out, like freaks. XTC thrilled idiots. The music though, from time to time, was actually good. On these 5 CDs the music ranged from Hardcore, Gabber, Happy Hardcore, and a bit of Techno too. Please remember that during 96/97 the gabber community was highly divided: you were a gabber or you weren't. You listened to Hardcore, but not Happy Hardcore. That was for hobos. Only true ravers appreciated the harder stuff, softies listened to this happy stuff. And to call a compilation 'Real Hardcore' and it having several Happy Hardcore anthems on it, was kind of a disgrace. Don't get me started on those compilations which made the scene look like fools. Those cartoonish images on the front, and with titles such as 'gabbers in Mallorca','raving on the camping', 'raving with clogs on', etc, they were even worst. So this isn't the worst compilation ever? Wow. That might have been a shocker. Let me show you the tracklist of each instalment. Real Hardcore 01.

And if you are thinking that, you seriously need to check your self. Hospital visit is required, trust me. This is NOT the best compilation ever, nor will it ever be a contender of a top 3 spot. This is one of the worst, yet it also contains wicked anthems. So am I contradicting myself? A tad. But who cares? Who reads my opinions anyway? The compilation has been made a shambles due to its stupidity. Embracing the cheap Happy Hardcore side of life. Don't get me wrong, I do love Happy Hardcore, but Hakkuhbar, Gabber Piet, MC Rage, Mosselman, and more of these fucking clowns, they make me sick. Even back then I never owner or purchased one of their records. It sad enough to see my own dad dancing to a Hakkuhbar record. That was just enough to make me eternally sick. Why did ID&T and Arcade give them a stage? These absolute lunatics. Idiots. Money grabbing bastards. It's our scene, not theirs. OK, as I said before, there are some good classics, and here's a breakdown of 5 of the best records (one of each CD): * DJ E-Rick & Tactic - Hysterical Drumbeats (Original Mix) * 4 Tune Fairytales - My Little Fantasy (Bass-D & King Matthew Mix) * Blue Zone - Too Beautiful (Cixx's Happy Hardcore Version) * DJ Delirium & Guitar Rob - The Way That We Rocked It (Live In NYC) * Swat - The Fly Is Dead (Public Domain Mix) This is my selection. See, a bit of everything, Happy and Hardcore, all mingled together. But still, does that make this compilation worth purchasing? Yes. This was at the height of Hardcore in the Netherlands during the 90s. This was sadly part of our culture. Even though we truly hated it, we still bought these albums. The fifth instalment became a memorable one: I looked at the images of the people on the bus, and only a few months later, I would actually take the bus to my first rave: Mysteryland 1998 Outdoor. I was a raver on a bus. Still not worth it being the best compilation ever. If you are thinking of a definitive compilation, there are many others. But if you just want to reminisce, to the good and the ugly side of Hardcore, you should definately check it out. At least 90% of the artists were and stil are respected.

I'm currently in a Trance mood. The last couple of days Trance has been dominating my life, and it's been an excellent journey. But to top it off, and I reckon this will be the last Trance mix in a while, is a mix done by History Of Happy Hardcore's channel, but this time it's not just a simple mix, hour long, 20 records, bla bla bla, but a 5 hour and 22 minute long mix! That's insane. Wouldn't even be able to mix a set this long myself (I'd get bored after maybe 1 1/2 hour?). But the mix is fire. Maybe 13 years ago, and containing tracks so great, you don't want to miss them. You would expect at least 150 records crammed into this mix, but they have done the opposite: the least amount of records you can expect, but played out as long as possible. No radio edits here, or short edits, but fully extended versions of anthems. And boy (and girl), there are shitloads of them in here. Trance is just so pure and mesmerizing. Trance is life, and for once I've made a statement which I fully underline, and everyone else does too. There's absolutely NOTHING wrong with Trance, and there's no reason to dislike it, or strongly hate it. If you do have a hatred towards it, my suggestion would be to listen to this mix, and let it take you on a journey. And what a journey it is going to be. Mostly Millennium Trance can be found in here, but these are all the anthems we know, and love. And some even forgotten about. Thanks for this monster mix. Now it's time for me to typ the whole tracklist. Pfff, not an easy task. 01. Robert Miles - Children (Dream Version) 02. Sasha & Emerson - Scorchio (Full Length Version) 03. Ferry Corsten - Punk 04.

System F - Out Of The Blue (Original 12" Version) 56. System F - Cry (Original Extended Mix) A monster mix. There, I've said it. How often do you come across a mix so good, it blows your mind into pieces? It doesn't happen that often that you find a mix that has literally got ALL the classics in them? This is that mix. If I'm thinking of Millennium Trance, I think of these tunes. All of these are classics. Some maybe a tad overrated, but still loved by the Trance community. And I'm part of that, I've had something to do with that. By that I mean I've bought many Trance compilations during the golden years, and have paid towards artists making more music. Yeah, producers, you can thank me personally. You are welcome. All jokes aside, this is a seriously impressive mix. Not many mixes out there containing so many great records. History Of Happy Hardcore, you've done it again. Such a fantastic and epic mix. Simply astonishing the amount of beautiful anthems, all crammed in this mix. Is this the best mix ever made, Trance wise? I would say that it is in my top 10 Trance mixes of all time. Simply because they have picked so many great anthems. It's beyond belief how good the music was back then, and remained timeless. You can play any of these in a set, and people will still love them. It's too stupid for me to pick just one record out of all of these, to pick it as my favourite. I've selected a few, not in alphabetic order, but in the order they were played: * Three Drives - Greece 2000 * Push - The Legacy (Club Mix) * Push - Universal Nation * Push - Strange World (2000 Remake) * Cygnus X - Superstrings (Rank1 Remix) * Art Of Trance - Madagascar (Ferry Corsten Remix) * Binary Finary - 1999 (Gouryella Remix) * Energy 52 - Cafe Del Mar (Original Three 'N One Mix) These are my favourites. And as you can imagine, me being a music freak, I've played these tracks OVER and OVER again. I just love these records, and to me they are the best Trance records of all time. Anyone that disagrees, you should be checking yourself into a hospital, because there's something wrong with you. I'm going to get a few people unfollowing me, but I'm seriously not a fan of 'Children' by Robert Miles. Or even 'Seven Days & One Week' by BBE. Not a fan of the overly pushed down our throat songs. By that I mean the radio overkill, generated by their success. I need a few years before I can actually enjoy them again. A good mix, nevertheless. A few small mixing errors, but let's not forget, this mix is 13 years old. No opportunity back then to use the fancy equipment we've got nowadays, so it's still impressive that the DJ has not fallen asleep halfway through mixing. Or just simply called it quits. Thanks for this epic mix. Probably the longest mix I've come across in a while. Trance lovers, eat your heart out with this!

It's that time again. Our top 5 of today. And for our list today, we've got a few special records planned. Some you are aware of, some you've never even heard of, and some you just wished you never even heard of. The good, the bad, and the ugly, all in one short list. It's up to you to decide why you think they are great, alright, and just pure shit. Or bagger in Dutch. But it's a wide range of genre/styles, so I do hope you enjoy them. I'm not know as narrow minded. I love literally every kind of music. Just not K-Pop, or just anything pop related. And Dutch folklore. That's just sheer garbage from the highest order. But some might dislike my enthusiasm for Terror music, or even Hardcore. Or what about Bassline music? Or Trance? What's so special about that? Well, we are all different and unique, and sometimes you just have to accept that there are others out there with a different kind of taste. And I'm one of them. If you look at my Soundcloud player, it will astonish you. Let me just name the styles of the last few mixes on there: Bassline, Uptempo Hardcore, Trance, Early Trance, Freeform, Hard House, Dubstep, Hardstyle, Trance, Hardstyle, Hardcore, Jungle, and it continues like that. That's me. My player is always on, and I just the fact that I can skip to the next record, and it can be something completely different. So for example: one record has got 180 BPM, and the next goes to 125 BPM. And I'm still having a blast! Enjoy this list. Open your ears, and up the volume! Enjoy the madness! 01. E-De Cologne - Kill 4 Jesus (1996) : Hardcore 2. Spark7 & Thomas Decolita - ID 22 (2011) : Progressive Trance 3. Amerie - One Thing (Burgaboy & TRC Remix) (XXXX) : Bassline / 4x4 4. Drokz - This Is Dedication (2019) : Terror / Hardcore 5. Push - Strange World (Andrew Bayer Remix) (2016) : Trance and one special record to add as a bonus, seeing as you are all BPM freaks!!!! X. Kill Your Mother - Jesus Must Die (1996) : Hardcore

It's Sunday! The most relaxing (and probably boring) day of the week. We all want to relax and chill, after a week full of stress, anxiety, bills to pay here and there, and life in general. Sunday should be a relaxing day, and I think we should embrace that feeling. Back in the olden days, people would go to church, and pray to the all mighty. Those days are gone. But to stay in a heavenly spirit, why not listen to 90s Trance music? That might take you closer to God, if that's what you are after? The most relaxing day of the week deserves a good mix. And I've found one, made by Matty G 4 years ago, containing the finest Trance anthems from the 90s. And these are the most iconic anthems of all time. If you are a full on Trance lover, you will not be disappointed. This hour and 45 minute long mix has got the finest anthems of the most cherrished decade. The tracklist is astonishing. And without further ado, let me show you the tracklist. 01. BT - Flaming June 02. Paul Van Dyk - For An Angel 03. Three Drives - Greece 2000 04. Veracocha - Carte Blanche 05. System F - Out Of The Blue 06. Sasha - Xpander 07. Matt Darey feat Marcella Woods - Beautiful 08. Push - Strange World 09. Binary Finary - 1998 10. Ayla - Ayla 11. Lost Tribe - Gamemaster 12. Tilt - Invisible 13. Push - Universal Nation 14. Mauro Picotto - Lizard 15. The Thrillseekers - Synaesthesia This is beautiful. So good. And yes, these are the classics. If you are thinking of the early Trance classics, you will have these 15 on your mind. And I think I've said it before, but Trance music does not have any haters. It's probably the most loved genre in the whole world. It does no-one any harm, and it's peaceful and relaxing. Matty G's mix is fire. Or, as the young kids would say,lit. Don't know if I'm using it correctly, but whatever the meaning, this mix has made my Sunday a more heavenly one. I felt connected to the unknown but widely described universe. Heaven in an hour and 45 minute long mix. This is the kind of music I grew up with, and has made me the person who I am. Trance music is just so damn breathtakingly beautiful, it's a shame that this unique sound has disappeared over the years, to have been demolished by EDM Trance. I can go on and on about how awesome Trance is, but I won't. I think the tracklist and the mix speaks for itself. And many will agree that the best record in this mix has got to be a Push record, especially 'Strange World'. I can listen to this record over and over again, and it will never be boring. This is the kind of music I expect to hear on my way to the land of eternity. God's elevator music. Push is the man to make it. Or what about 'Universal Nation', another classic! A wonderful mix. Already reached 83,7k plays. And it will go up, I've got no doubt about that. Trance of the 90s is timeless. And it will remain populair until the Earth's dying days. This is the perfect mix to end your Sunday with!

Early Hardcore. Are you a fan of it? Or are you too young , and you've simply missed it all? Or do you think it's a load of garbage, and you just prefer styles like Uptempo or Mariah Carey Speedcore? Well, if you do not appreciate Early Hardcore, you've come to the wrong place. I'm a fanatic since 1993. Wow, it just made me think: 26 years of being a raver. That's an achievement too, you know. And everyone was saying that it was only going to be a phase, a short lived thing. We're in 2019, and people are still raving! And it's a multi million euro worth scene. Maybe I'm biased, because I'm Dutch, but I do prefer the early sound. I grew up listening to it, and have fond memories of it. To me it's life. Part of my life. So, what I do to please myself, is to go on Soundcloud and search for good mixes. And today I found one, made by Daniel Lindemans. And as you can see from the picture above, he thinks it's 'simply the best', to quote the legendary Tina Turner (who's voice funnily enough was used in the legendary 'Welcome To The Thunderdome' song'). I've not come across any other mixes by this DJ, but the reason why I picked this one, is because the tracklist is so fucking epic. This mix contains records you might hear from time to time, but it also includes records the majority have forgotten about. And it also had a few 'new' songs. Well, technically not new, but I've not heard them before. Enough reasons to give this a go, and trust the Dutchman: it does not disappoints me. Nor will it you. 01. Intro 02. DJ Toad - Check It Out 03. Buzz Fuzz - Intergalactic 04. Old School Terrorist vs Mixelplix - Terror And Mayhem 05. Bass-D & King Matthew - Is New York In Da House 06. DJ Delirium & Guitar Rob - The Wat That We Rock 07. The Judges feat DJ Promo - The Law 08. G-Town Madness - Punks & Bitches 09. Neophyte & The Stunned Guys - Army Of Hardcore 10.

El Bruto - Hardcore Motherfucker 24. MD&A - Hardcore 25. The Prophet & DJ Buzz Fuzz - Freddy's Revenge 26. DJ Distortion & MC Raw vs Bass-D & King Matthew - Raveworld Daniel has picked the all-time classics for his mix. Those records you will hear on every top 100 CD released. Which records, you might be wondering? Well, if that's a genuine question, I am wondering if you are even a gabber, or a zwabber? 'Always Hardcore', 'Hardcore To Da Bone',' The Way That We Rock','The Beat Is Flown','Confusion'... and more. The classics. You all know them. But not only the classics, but also a few genuine anthems, like 'Real Motherfuckers', 'Bounce It Like This', 'Punks & Bitches','The Law', and of course 'Execute'. This music just is too damn perfect. And so is this mix. I just love its diversity and usage of obscure anthems. I'd only wish they would use more of these 'forgotten' anthems in mixes. They do deserve more recognition. Some records selected by Daniel are just so damn bad, but they would still get the crowds going. But not me. If I'd hear these records in a club, I would dive straight towards the bar or toilet: I cannot rave to these anthems. So overrated, or just plain bad: 'Brohym' and 'Freddy's Revenge'. The last is just so damn bad, and not something I would have expected Buzz Fuzz and The Prophet even making or releasing. But those were the 90s: experimental songs were released, to see if they did catch on. Thankfully they didn't. Of course the biggest record of the 90s had to be put in: 'Hardcore To Da Bone'. Fight me if you hate this record. There's no need to hate. Why? Because it's Masters Of Ceremony's best record of all time. Pure filth, pure Hardcore. A nice mix, with a few minor tracks, and some small mixing errors. But nothing major. So go get this down you. Press play, and go down memory lane. It's that time of year when Christmas is lurking, and you all want to avoid those crappy tunes on the radio? Well, listen to TCD and just listen to what I'm suggesting. I'm well respected (*ahum*), so my judgement is king. And who does not like Early Hardcore? Are you even human?

I've got to admit, I've never seen this film in my life, and I've got no reason to watch it either. Not a fan of Harry Enfield, or this kind of humour. I know it was released many years ago, and maybe at the time I would have liked it, but to me this isn't much of anything. I've read the product description, and I fail to see the funny side of it. I've seen many films, and they all sadly disappoint me, whilst the masses have embraced them. Examples are 'Trainspotting', 'Human Traffic', and more. All 'classics', but I'm not feeling the vibes. The music on the other hands, taken from these films, is good. I've got no complaints when it comes to the music, because the music was good. DJ Krimson made this mix 9 years ago, and it's his only mix on Soundcloud. To have 1 mix on Soundcloud and it containing these badboy anthems is a good one. It's nearly been played 55k times, and for good reasons. The tracklist is a thing of beauty, and it does contain wicked anthems. These were the anthems that made me fall in love with Trance music. When Trance wasn't focussed on the masses, but more on the people's perspective on life. It was to get you in a Trance from the first to the last second. Heavenly music. There's not one person on God's given Earth who dislikes Trance. Trance is life. This mix contains records from the OST album, and if you want a trip down memory lane, let this mix do that for you. Just look at these anthems: 01. CRW - I Feel Love (R.A.F. Zone Mix) 02. Signum feat Scott Mac - Coming On Strong (Bobellow vs Euphoriah Remix) 03. Tiesto - Sparkless (Airscape Mix) 04. ATB - 9PM (Till I Come) (Signum Remix) 05. Y-Traxx - Mystery Land (Sickboy Courtyard Remix) 06. Skip Raiders feat Jada - Another Day (Perfecto Dub) / (Perfecto Remix) 07. Lange feat The Morrighan - Follow Me (Lange's Club Mix) 08. Ayla - Ayla (DJ Taucher Mix) 09. Fragma - Toca Me (In Petto Remix) 10. Mauro Picotto - Lizard (Claxxix Mix) 11. Sunburst - Eyeball (Eyeball Paul's Theme) 12. Southside Spinners - Luvstruck (Original Version) I do like these anthems. Can't believe we already consider these as classics. Why does time fly by so quickly? The music was just so pure and magical. I might have offended people with my previous rant, regarding this film. If you do like this film (or Trainspotting or Human Traffic), so be it. I'm just not feeling these films, and their perspective on the raving society. I've not come across a film where the raving society was shown as it truly was: a movement pushed my enthusiasm and love, not just by pills and lunatics. The raving culture deserves more than just a portrayal of us snorting coke and taking XTC for 4 hours in a row.... Anyway, this mix. It's good, but not really that great. The tracks are solid, but the way they were put into this mix is a bit off putting. The BPMs do fly up and down, and there's no build up towards a climactic ending. Normal mixes should start off with a low BPM set, and gradually build up. This one goes up and down, like a bloody elevator. Steady is the key word, sadly missing in this mix. The tracks are good. Especially 'Luvstruck'. That's my favourite. This truly symbolises the early Trance sound to me. The Millennium stuff. The good stuff. I'm still not persuaded to watch this film. But maybe I'll purchase the actual CD. I'm guessing that Judge Jules (who mixed it together) has made it slightly better than this mix? I'm guessing so.

Am I the only one who knows of this artist by the two records 'Square Off' and 'Spongebob'? I remember buying the CD 'Sound Of Dubstep', and I think it was 'Spongebob' on it. That was my introduction into Coki, and quickly after I remember checking Youtube to see if he made more records. The one that stuck, was 'Square Off'. But after listening to those two records, Coki disappeared in my books. Don't know why, seeing as I really liked both records a lot. Anyway, a few days ago I stumbled across the CD on which his song appeared on, and I pressed play. I immediately fell in love again with the Dubstep sound from around 2010, and when I heard Coki's song, everything fell into pieces. I danced around my living room like a monday on pure acid. And it felt good. So I went onto Soundcloud, to see if there was more Coki, and thankfully, there was. This channel called 'FatKidOnFire' (what's in the name?) made this dedication mix back in 2014, and it contains 20 records by Coki! 20 records in 30 minutes, wtf? Are you for real? This is going to be amazing, if the records are as good as 'Spongebob' and 'Square Off'. So if you are like me, love the tracks we all know, but want to hear more, check out this mix: 01. Intro 02. Coki - Jah Fire 03. Coki - Mood Dub 04. Coki - Warlord Riddim 05. Coki - The Sign 06. Movado - Gangsta 4 Life (Coki Remix) 07. Coki - All Of A Sudden 08. Coki - Spongebob 09. Coki - Burnin' 10. Coki - Bass 11. Coki - Old Hope 12. Coki - Bloodthirst 13. Coki - Goblin 14. Coki - Mad Head 15. Coki - Tortured 16. Coki - Red Eye 17. Coki - Square Off 18. Coki - Dry Cry 19. Coki - Serious 20. Coki - Bobs Pillow Just looking at the tracklist brings a smile to my face. So simple, these tracknames. No mucking about, no deep and profound meaning, just titles like 'Red Eye', 'Dry Cry', 'Burnin'' and more. Why overcomplicate things when simplicity is key? But only the titles are simple, the music is on a deeper level. The kind of Dubstep I really like. Sadly after 'Spongebob' and 'Square Off', Coki disappeared on my radar, but he's been a busy boy. It could just be my fault for not following him, but Dubstep kind of wasn't my thing at one stage, so I stopped listening to it. Maybe I should have, would have known about Coki and his musical presence in the scene. I do love this mix by FatKidOnFire. 30 minutes long, 20 records crammed in. Nothing wrong with that. But which of those 20 records stood out? Well, there's one simple answer to that: 'Square Off'. It's even better than the song named after a cartoon character. So deep and on a different level man. I loose myself completely when I hear those familiar keys. A wonderful mix to start your Sunday morning with. Nice and relaxed. And I will definately follow Coki on social media. I have to.

You know when you are browsing through your music folders on your PC that you will find within those folders hidden and forgotten records. And seeing as I've got thousands of them, I came across a record that I completely forgotten about. A-Lusion's 'Too Close'. Remember that song? 'Don't feel my body, boy, feel the rhythm'. That was truly an amazing record, and when I went through my Hardstyle folder and I heard this one again after a few years, I decided to go Soundcloud and see if I could find it there. I did, and it was part of this liveset, recorded back in 2013 at Last World. A half hour set with 8 wicked A-Lusion records, and of course 'Too Close' included in the set. I've never heard of this event, if I'm truthfully honest. Seeing the party history on Partyflock it shows that the last Last World was held in 2015, but after that it disappeared. The line-up of the 2013 edition looked good, with several awesome areas such as the Cenobite Records area, Fresh Beats, Theracords, T-Town Masters, and of course the mainstage, where A-Lusion played. The whole event got good reviews, and now it's time to judge A-Lusion's set. But first we need to see the actual tracklist. And it's a short one. 01. A-Lusion - Start Living (Live Edit) 02. A-Lusion - Electric Sky 03. A-Lusion - Don't Wanna Know (2012 Edit) 04. Linkin Park - Burn It Down (A-Lusion Bootleg) 05. A-Lusion - Make Up Your Mind 06. Bastille - Bad Blood (A-Lusion Bootleg) 07. A-Lusion - Too Close (Live Edit) 08. Sylenth & Glitch - Music In You (A-Lusion 2013 Live Edit) This is such a wicked set, sadly only lasting for 30 minutes. I do love a set to be a bit longer, but hey, at least the people in Belgium got a bit of A-Lusion. And that's always a bonus. Within the space of 30 minutes he demolishes the stage. And especially when 'Too Close' started, that's definately a goosebump moment. Don't get me wrong, the previous records were awesome too, but 'Too Close' is just wicked. But is this version as good as the version I've got saved on my PC? I'm not a fan of Linkin Park, and normally find the vocals used in records by the vocalist of that band not great. But in this song 'Burn It Down' it's slightly tweaked, and the result is probably the first ever Linkin Park used song that I like. Oh, and what about Bastille's song? Never even heard the original before, but it's catchy as fuck. The big moment you've been waiting for: is this live edit of 'Too Close' better than the original? It's okay, but I would still prefer the original. But without a doubt this is a dancefloor smasher: there's no way you are going to sit still and pretend nothing is happening around you: you will rush to the dancefloor immediately once you hear this anthem. A wicked mix. And it's also free to download, so what are you exactly waiting for?

This weekend the mighty Thunderdome returns. The latest edition of this majestic event will be home to thousands of ravers from all over the world, celebrating an icon that spawned others to join the Hardcore scene. The grandad of them all, the big daddy. If you think about Hardcore, you think of Thunderdome. Be it the early stuff. the Millennium sound, or the new sound, Thunderdome has been a part of our culture since 1992. Nearly 27 years ago. An event in the EDM scene that has been significant for 27 years? There's no other that can compete. The music has capture a generation, and will capture the feeling of generations to come. I grew up with the sound, and it has been my main focus for most of my teenage years. When I visited a Mysteryland back in 1998, and walked into the Thunderdome area, it was like I had returned home, to the holy grail. I've been there. I was part of a culture, and will be until the day I die. I will mention to my grankids that 'opa used to rave hard, until his knees stopped working and the BPMs became too hard to absorb through my hearing aids'. But until then I will love, embrace, and remain part of Thunderdome. And as they said back in the 90s (was it G-Town Madness?), the legacy continues. It will never die. It might stop for a short time, but it will always come back. It will even come into our cinemas! Have you heard about the Thunderdome film? Nope? Well, go to Youtube and see the trailer video for Thunderdome. A film I am interested in. Anyway, back to this mix. Theory Of Core made this promo mix 2 years ago, and when I typed in the search bar on Soundcloud the word 'Thunderdome', this was one of the highest ranked mixes. So I had to give this a go. And you should do the same. Especially if you are getting ready for this weekend. 01. Marshall Masters - Stereo Murder 02. Forze DJ Team - '98 To Piano 03. Darrien Kelly feat Attic & Stylzz - Beaten Like A Bitch 04. Ectomorph - Heartbeat 05. Wasting Program - Bring That Shit Back 06. DJ Isaac & The Viper - Funky Beats 07. 3 Steps Ahead - Hardcore 08. Steve Shit - Commony'all (Move Ya' Bodies) 09. The Masochist - Killing Scum (DJ Promo meets Shaolin Mix) 10. Damage Inc. - Turn Around (Remix) 11. The Prophet & Buzz Fuzz - Go Get Ill 12. Bass-D - Thunderdome Shake 13. Dano - Welcome To The Thunderdome 14. DJ Buzz Fuzz feat Bass-D & King Matthew - It's Alright (Stunned Guys Remix) 15. Chosen Few - Name Of The DJ 16. Razzle Dazzle Trax - Rattlebrain (Korsakoff Remix) 17. Neophyte & Promo feat Minckz - TD Is YOU (Thunderdome 2012 Anthem) 18. DJ Jappo & Lancinhouse - Bring The Fine 19. Square Dimensione - A Brand New Dance 20. E-Rick & Tactic - Don't Like Mondays (Original BZRK Mix) 21. The Prophet - Dominatin' 22. 3 Steps Ahead - Thunderdome Till We Die 23. DJ Gizmo - There Is No Other (Bass-D 2015 Remix) Well, this is a rather unusual mix, isn't it? You've got your main classics, a few forgotten classics, and just some that don't fit in. I do not know how to describe it, but you had your 'Thunderdome' sound, and you knew exactly if a record would be on a Thunderdome collection CD or maybe on a 'dodgier' CD, like 'Hardcore Fruitfly Volume 264 mixed by DJ Bobo', with a sketchy drawn picture of a raver on the cover, dancing with a fruitfly with big breasts. We had some weird covers back in the 90s. Of course the all time classics had to be played by Theory Of Core. Like 'Stereo Murder', 'Hardcore', Name Of The DJ', 'Thunderdome Till We Die', and they still remain powerful anthems. No word of a lie. And I used to like a lot of Thunderdome records, and even some anthems. But my least favourite was the 2012 anthem. Which is sadly included in this mix. But it's still part of the legacy. Oh, and what about the 'Thunderdome Shake'. Funny at the time for 32 seconds, but that was oh so 2010-ish. The best record? Well, give the man credit when he deserves is: DJ Dano's absolute monster masterpiece 'Welcome To The Thunderdome'. An anthem which will give many oldskool ravers goodsebumps from head to their toes. An epic anthem, that has stood the test of time, and has become a big record, one symbolizing the movement which was called Hardcore. Or to those that were part of it, gabbers, this anthem was everything. It was time to go to the Thunderdome, let Tina Turner's scream fill your lungs, head, and heart, and despite the world watching, we entered it, and felt part of a culture so unique. This mix is nice, but has some flaws. Some records are not my cup of tea (E-Rick & Tactic have made far more superior records, compared to this garbage fire 'Don't Like Mondays'), but it still captures a feeling. To those going tomorrow: have fun. Stay safe, and rave. Rave like you've never done before, and remember: Hardcore will never, ever die. Hasta la vista, baby (this is a Happy Hardcore Megamix CD reference, if you haven't noticed it, but they still used the same vocalist for the intro as the Thunderdome series).

This monthly feature is back! Have you missed it? Probably not, but that's okay. I just need to see if this gets any views: if not, I will permanently finish this segment. Well, at least I've tried. He who never tries, always fails, eh? Back to what this segment is about. My personal top 5. The title is self explanatory. But it is not bound to one style or one genre. This includes literally everything my heart desires and my ears like to hear. You name it, and I listen to it. My musical interest range is huge, and I consider myself lucky for being able to listen to whatever floats my boat that day. One day it's Hardstyle, the next it's game OST, and the next it's 90s pop. So I always find records I keep on playing over and over, for whatever reason. Sometimes it's because the song is catchy, and you just cannot switch it off, and sometimes it's just because I've got memories linked to that specific record. Or simply, to keep it in simple terms: I like the song. And I do find them everywhere (as long as it's on Youtube or Soundcloud: I don't use any other sources). And today I've got songs from both platforms you might like. A bit of everything. A bit of this, a bit of that. Hope you enjoy and appreciate my top 5 of 23rd of October 2019. 01. The Prophet - Roll The Place (1997) 02. Sub Zero Project - The Game Changer (Qlimax 2018 Anthem) 03. Carlo Resoort - Rise (2005) 04. Technoboy - Ti Sento (Original Mix) (2009) 05. Painbringer - Words Of '95 (2014) and as an added bonus, an all time classic anthem you've probably forgotten all about! BONUS. Drax Ltd. - Amphetamine (1994)

Contagious Records, you know the label, right? The label that keeps on pushing Powerstomp forward (and other styles too, but mainly Powerstomp related music). They have got a new album out, called 'Contagious To The Core Volume Three'. Seeing as I've reviewed the previous two albums, it would have been a shame if this album would have NOT been reviewed by me. Hence why DJ Riko, mastermind behind the label, messaged me, and told me about his latest project. And his project is again very big! As usual, Riko, being the man behind the label, decided to give the fans what they are waiting for: more music. New music. And as I said before in other reviews, Powerstomp isn't that big as it used to be, but Riko keeps on pushing it forward. And with this latest album he has had a few producers providing him with excellent music, artists such as Joey Riot, Bezza, Dubz, Violate, It-Man, himself, and many others. This is an excellent platform for producers who haven't been recognised for their skills. They do get the opportunity to showcase what they are capable of, to the scene. So, on this 1 disc album, you get 17 DJ friendly records. All UK Hardcore sounding records. Carefully selected by Riko. And there are some dancefloor friendly records too, so if you are a DJ and want to get the crowd to loose themselves, why not talk to Riko and get a copy of this? Anyway, this is the tracklist, if you are interested: 01. Violate - I Need A Doctor 02. Riko vs Laurence CC - Back 2 Tha Old Skool 03. Dubz - Crunk 04. KujinFu - Just Like You 05. Bezza - I Got A Donk 06. KujinFu & Arnie - RLY WNT ME (KujinFu VIP Mix) 07. UltieM & Desire - The Rush 08. Riko, Monster & Sketch - Monstah 09. EzKiLL - Jumper 10. Roosy K - King Of My Castle 11. Defekt feat M'IA - Get Through 12. Joey Riot & Dudweiser - We Don't Need You 13. Ganar feat Topkat - Love Of My Life 14. It-Man - This Is My Confession 15. Riko vs KY-L & Grovesy - You Cut Me Up 16. M3-O - Drowning In Silence 17. Kyte WytchWood feat Victoria - Crash & Burn (Jonny El Remix) I don't seem to find a lot of UK Hardcore music lately, so to hear yet another wicked album by Riko is a bonus. Especially when it's filled with music I've not heard before. All exclusive records I've not come across before. And also the artists are mostly unknown. Which makes this interesting. Of course you would expect me to do proper research before writing a review, but seeing as I'm the Crazy Dutchman and not the 'on point' Dutchman, I do not know when this album will be released. Let me check the world wide web for more information. It's out now! So now you can get the album digitlally for £15 or a physical copy for £17. Who doesn't want that, eh? The album starts with vocals from a bit hit (forgot who used it first), and the flow continues. The vibes is continuous, and makes me a happy Dutchman. Some records are sadly a bit too short: I feel like it might have been slightly better if another chorus was added in, but it's not a bad album though. But maybe add a piano section in the middle of certain records, and it would have gripped me from the start. The best record is Riko's own, which he made with KY-L and Grovesy: 'You Cut Me Up'. A bit of the oldschool sound and vibe. Really like that. A good album. Another brilliant album to put on his portfolio. Worth checking out though. Go to RIko's website and order one right now!

I was on Soundcloud the other day (like literally every day), and I found a mix so damn good, I wanted to share it with you guys. But there was a bit so disappointing, I had to NOT review it. The focus of this mix was the early Hardstyle sound, but halfway through the mix it went to the Millennium Hardcore sound, which is great, but not what I was looking for. I wanted to hear a mix dedicated to this Early sound so much, the Hardcore side of it for once ruined it. So I turned to the search-function on Soundcloud, and voila, a new mix appeared. I've reviewed Zany mixes in the past, and when you think of Zany, you think of the Donkey Rollers. And also Hardstyle. Early Hardstyle. Someone who knows a lot about Hardstyle, so by checking his Soundcloud page, it's filled with Hardstyle related mixes. I found one so perfect, I had to give it ago. Last year he made this classics filled mix, and it has blown my mind! Oh, how much I do miss this sound. This is the early stuff, some not even called Hardstyle, but more Hard Dance. Early 00s were good for the music scene. This new sound emerged, and I was full into it. Would I prefer the early sound to the present day sound? The answer, sadly, is yes. Just listen to Zany's mix, and you'll hear immediately what sound I am referring to, and why this is so unique, and still ground breaking. An hour long of early stuff, who wouldn't say yes to that? 00. Intro 01. Pavo & Zany - Porn 02. Zany - Thugs 03. Zany - Science & Religion (Science Mix) 04. The Beholder meets DJ Zany - Midnight 05. A-Lusion - Veritas 06. Tatarola - Who Is Calling (Zenith DJ Edit) 07. The Pitcher - I Just Can't Stop 08. D-Block & S-te-Fan - Total Eclipz 09. Frontliner - Warphole 10. Psyko Punkz - 2 Follow 11. Williams Syndrome - Limbo 12. Wasted Penguinz - Melancholia 13. Pavo - Communicate 14. Showtek feat MC DV8 - Electronic Stereo-Phonic 15. The Beholder & Max Enforcer - The Preacher 16. B-Front - Neophobia 17. Crypsis - Strike 18. Digital Punk & Profyler - Dark Symphony 19. Shadowlands Terrorists - Shadowlands Anthem (Zany & Vince's Zoveelste Remix) Three records immediately jumped out, stood out from the rest. And I've got to say that, even though they are seen as classics and are a tad old (not really), they have stood the test of time, and should still get the recognition they deserve. I remember when I heard these for the first time, I fell in love with these three, and even in 2019 I am still amazed by the sheer quality of these anthems. Would I call these my three favourite Early anthems of all time? Well, they are top 10 worthy, let's call it that. But definately wicked anthems. Jump into the three anthems I have put as my favourite of this mix: 'Communicate', 'Veritas', and 'Warphole'. There we go, I've mentioned them. I cannot stress the fact that these are my three favourite records of this mix, and yours could be the same or different. Whatever floats your boat. But can we all just appreciate these anthems, and also reminisce to a lost time of Limewire, where we all had a look and found the worst kind of rips of these anthems, with the worst titles. Boy, those years are gone... Obviously Zany had to play a few of his own records in here, which makes sense. And it makes this mix even better. He has got a good ear: his selection has made my day. I will go through my collection, and hit those old compilations again. I must hear this long lost sound again. Why can't this come back? I've got only love for this mix. More mixes like this one please. Bring back the early sound, and do it NOW!

A few months ago, a Soundcloud DJ called Hamilton, made this dedication mix, and I found it and wrote a nice review of it (well, I think it was nice, but I could be oh so wrong). After a quick browse through my page I found the original mix (click HERE) and I have to say that I still stand by my comments. But Hamilton wasn't sitting still: he decided to create an updated version of his Smith & Brown mix. My focus the last couple of weeks has been outside the Trance scene, and I haven't heard a Smith & Brown song or mix in a while. Which is a pity. I need more of their Trance music, especially their perspective on Tech Trance. I remember the first time I heard their 'Last Landing' song: it grabbed me and I was hooked straight away. The power behind this song is tremendous, and when they made their Rielism mix, they gained another fan. But I'm not the only one, and Hamilton probably thought the same: their music is awesome. Even though Smith and Brown look in the above image like they are about to jump at you through your screen, they are extremely fine producers and DJs. Hamilton's mix is to show his admiration for these two producers. This hour and a half long mix contains only records made or remixed by the legendary duo. And even though you do not know who they are, you should embrace them for their music: they make heavenly music. Check out this tracklist. The previous mix was only an hour long, so you can consider yourself lucky: an extra minutes of Smith & Brown. 01. Smith & Brown and Sam Johnston - Get Down (Extended Mix) 02. Impact - Sands Of Persia (Smith & Brown Extended Remix) 03. Smith & Brown - We Got The Funk (Original Mix) 04. Sied van Riel - Atomic Blonde (Smith & Brown Remix) 05. Smith & Brown - Zero Cool (Original Mix) 06. Smith & Brown - Human Resources (Original Mix) 07. Smith & Brown - Flesheater (Original Mix) 08. Etamin - Covenant (Smith & Brpwn Remix) 09. Everlight - Dopamine (Smith & Brown Remix) 10. Smith & Brown - Tilt (Extended Mix) 11. Smith & Brown - Universal Chaos (Original Mix) 12. PROYAL - Epode (Smith & Brown Remix) 13. Smith & Brown - Last Landing (Original Mix) 14. Smith & Brown - Sudar (Original Mix) 15. Andski - Blossom (Smith & Brown Remix) 16. Smith & Brown - Foul Matter (Extended Mix) 17. Smith & Brown - Leviathan 18. Smith & Brown - Nightmare (Original Mix) 19. Allende - False Memory (Smith & Brown Club Mix) 20. Christoph - Voice Of Silence (Smith & Brown Bootleg) Previous Hamilton mix only contained 12 records, and with this he has gone all out: 20 precious Smith and Brown produced or remixed records. What else could you ask for? There's nothing on God's given Earth that can create this amount of happiness right now. Who needs a new phone, who needs a new Playstation, who needs money, when you can have an hour and a half of pure Trance music? See, I do talk bollocks from time to time, but you know it makes sense. I can only give Hamilton credit for making this mix. This duo deserves a bigger stage, and their music has been picked up slowly, but they deserve more and more. The world is their oyster (which I do not understand, why oysters when they look absolutely vile?). Since 'Last Landing' they have been on my radar, and this mix just shows us all how awesome they are, and how good their music is. Of course I have to pick one record, and this time it's not the biggest hit, it's 'Nightmare'. What an epic record!! Have you heard it? Pure Trance vibes. This has made TCD a happy bunny. Come to think of it, I will still give 'Last Landing' credit for being such a dark anthem. Love it. Thanks Hamilton for making this flawless and epic mix, and thanks to Smith & Brown for making wicked music. Where would we be without these two fine producers? Not in an oyster bar, that's for sure.

The Dutch, what a wonderful group of human being. The Dutch have been on the forefront of music since the mid 80s, and have dominated the world scene with their unique events and the way these events have been organised. With visitors from all over the world, the Netherlands is a safe haven for those who like to party, and when they party, they want to party hard. Where else on this globe would you like to go, to have a great time? Other countries might have copied the way we organise parties and do things, but the atmosphere in the Netherlands has always been splendid. But is there an event so unique and so Dutch, you have to experience it at least once in your lifetime? Yes, this event is called 'X-Qlusive Holland'. During this event, everything and everyone turns orange. And no, not orange like Donald Trump. Orange is the colour of the Netherlands, and for this event you had to wear official Dutch attire. The music accompanied this event has also got a Dutch feeling to it: if it does have Dutch lyrics, it gets played. But it needs to be hard and rough, that's the main gist of it. And you need to have fun, a lot of fun. An event I would like to go to, seeing as I am Dutch (even though other Dutch people do not consider Limburgers as Dutch). This year's event had a wicked line-up: Bass Chaserz, D-Fence, Dr. Ruthless, Endymion, Outsiders, Primeshock, Ransom, Warface, Wildstylez, and more. And the one set I've found on Youtube is the one by Sound Rush. This duo, consists of twins, have been on everyone's radar for a while, and have been pushed forward by the legend that is Headhunterz. And I've got to say that I'm really digging their style. But is their X-Qlusive Holland set one I would appreciate? Trracklist is required, so here it is: 01. Sound Rush - For You Edit (Intro Kermis Mashup) 02. Dee-Block & S-te-Pack - Love Don't Hurt Me 03. Kriss Kross Amsterdam x Kraantje Pappie x Tabitha - Moment (Sound Rush Remix) 04. Headhunterz & Sound Rush feat Eurielle - Rescue Me 05. Cascada - Everytime We Touch (Sound Rush Remix) 06. Rene Schuurmans - Hela Ho (Sound Rush Remix) 07. Refuzion - Around The World (La La La) 08. Headhunterz & Sound Rush feat Eurielle - Follow Me w/ Cooldown Cafe - Hey Baby 09. Topmodelz - Your Love (Atmozfears & Sound Rush Remix) 10. Da Tweekaz & Sound Rush - Take Me Away 11. Marco Borsato - Dromen Zijn Bedrog (Sound Rush 2019 Remix) 12. Sound Rush - Rhythm Of The Night 13. Def Rhymz - Schudden (Sound Rush Remix) 14. Atmozfears & Sound Rush - Together As One (Live Edit) 15. Wildstylez & Sound Rush - Untamable 16. Refuzion - Drogonstea Din Tei 17. Andre Hazes - Kleine Jongen (Sound Rush Remix) 18. Hollandse Herrie vs Headhunterz - Carnaval Is Our Destiny (Carnavalsversie) 19. 2 Unlimited - No Limit (Zatox Remix) 20. Abel - Onderweg (Sound Rush & RVB Remix) 21. Sound Rush - Take It All (Happy Hardcore Edit) 22. Sound Rush feat Michael Jo - Breakaway (Happy Hardcore Edit) 23. Eiffel 65 - Blue (Tweekacore Mix) 24. Marcus Vayne - William Of Orange 25. Sound Rush feat Frans Duijts - Gezelligheid Kent Geen Spijt (X-Qlusive Holland 2019 Anthem) Wow. How Dutch can you get it? Who would have thought that you could have a Hardstyle set filled with records by Andre Hazes, Eiffel 65, Marco Borsato, Cascada, and more, and it would be extremely cool? I would never have guessed that this would become the standard. Well, it's standard at this event. And Sound Rush did get the crowd hyped up with their really insanely Dutch set. And thousands of ravers went along with the Dutch theme. I don't normally go on Youtube to view mixes, but for this one I had to. Certain livesets become legendary when you've got something to watch, instead of just listening to it. As I said before, this event is one I would like to go to. Not just because I'm Dutch, but because the atmosphere at this event looks epic. Just watch the video below, and you can see it clearly that we (the Dutch) know how to throw a party, and showcase our roots distinctively. We are Dutch, we are orange, and we love to party. Sound Rush's set is happy. It's cool. And Headhunterz is saying the truth, when he gives these boys credit for their music. In this set they've played a lot of their own stuff, and the result is an astonishing mix. It's a bit ruined by the MC, but you all know I am not a fan of MCs at all. Maybe you need to actually be there to feel it and appreciate it, but there's no need for an MC at all. But at least he was having fun. Does that mean that the tunes are all really high quality? Well, some are really good, but some are cheesy as fuck. 'Wiliam Of Orange' anyone? How cheesy can you get it? I do love the set, and felt a bit more orange for a split second. Living in the UK, I do miss the Dutchness we Dutchies have. And how cool is it to have Frans Duijts perform at the end? If you are not Dutch you might find it weird, but it just so damn cool. Check this set out. And appreciate us for being awesome!

If you think of Jumpstyle, you think of Pat B. This living legend has been pushing the new and old sound forward since he emerged onto the scene, and his mixes are always listened to by thousands of fanatics, including yours truly. Huge fan of Jumpstyle (or is it called Tek?), and have always found it disappointing that it was made fun off, when it really didn't deserve to be mocked. I did purchase a lot of Jumpstyle albums over the years, and when it died down, I still kept on listening to it. Thankfully, even in 2019, it's still going strong. Now I have to say that this mix was made for an event which took place a few months ago. Pat B obviously played there, but I wasn't really interested in this event. Also, I am a few months too late: only found this mix yesterday. Anyway, I was looking for a Jumpstyle mix, filled with classic anthems, and came across this one: one of the most played Jumpstyle records on Soundcloud. 32k plays so far. But what is in this mix? Well, the classics. And not just the classics, but also re-edits, remixes, and just plain silly mashups. Everything Jumpstyle related is in here. Why wait? Do you like Jumpstyle? If the answer is yes, you need to check out this mix. Ps. the tracklist isn't really complete: if you do know the missing bits and bobs, please notify me, and I'll add them to the list. 01.

ID - Pullover Back In Time Mashup 37. ID - Fuck The Macarena See! This lights up the Jumpstyle spark in your soul. Full of those classics, and full of exclusive mashups. Some really awesome, some a tad weird (name one person who really liked 'Fuck The Macarena', probably the worst record ever made, next to the Macarena lol). But Pat had fun during his livestream, and so did I, on my way from work today. Jumpstyle all the way! Even though certain records are mashups, I'm still feeling the happy vibes coming through my speakers. But let me tell you one thing: I do love the Tek sound. And it's a sound I do miss. This brings me to the best record in this mix. Pat B's own record '2004' takes me back to the wonderful years of Tek and Jump. This kind of music really spoke to me. Not a lot of bullshit, not a lot of vocals, just pure beats, bass and melodies. That's why I adore this mix, and especially this record. It captures the scene from around 2004 beautifully, and deserves a spot on the top 100 Best Jumpstyle records of all time. Sadly it's been played too short in this mix, but you can look for the longer version on Soundcloud. Pat B is Jumpstyle, and we love him for that. Thanks to people like Pat for keeping Jumpstyle alive. Combining the early 00s with the present day, and what do you get? A fucking epic mix. Just listen to this bad boy, and think of the good ol' days, when TMF had silly programmes, focussed on how to do the Jump dance, and Patrick Jumping, literally jumping everywhere. What a shite period. Music wise it was good. Media side of it wasn't. But, as most would say, at least we've got the music still.

1996 was a wonderful and memorable year for Hardcore music. Not only did we get a year full of awesome music, but Happy Hardcore became big. You might disagree and think I'm talking bollocks, but I am not. For me Happy Hardcore is as good and big as Early Hardcore. Back then the lines were thin between both styles: just look up some CD collection and those focussed on the 'harder' side still had a few Happy Hardcore records on them, and visa versa. 1996 was a tremendous year, because the music was good. Still produced with basic materials, but to me it has left a mark like no other style since. It was so good, and 23 years later I'm still loving it. Paranoizer made this mix, with records from 1996. It would be weird if he used completely random records from other years if the title pointed out that he is playing only records from '96. Oh, nearly forgot to say that 1996 was the year when Thunderdome had their finest event: just check Thunderdome '96 live CD and you'll know why I am mentioning this CD. All in all, a fantastic year. And obviously a good year to make a mix of it. This mix contains shitloads of records from labels such as Mokum Records, ID&T, Cenobite Records, K.N.O.R. Records, Coolman Records, Bad Vibes Records, Hellraiser Records, and more. So at first glance it's not going to be boring. An hour long mix with 31 records. Paranoizer's selection is really ace, and worth a listen. Just glance at this tracklist and you'll know why I'm excited to the core. 01. Crypt - Rise And Shine 02. Da Grimreaper - We Control Da Sound 03. DJ Rob & Tim B - Bleeding Ears 04. Nosferatu - The Future 05. Insane - Supa Dupa 06. Predator - Dubplate Style 07. Tails, Noizer & Waxwezle - House Of Pain 08. Tellurian - Fucked Up Motherfuckers 09. Trickster - White Line 10. Nosferatu - Artcore DNA 11. 3 Da Hardway - Original Rude Boyz 12. Beyonder - The Mind Is A Labyrinth 13. DJ Delerium - I Was Born Hardcore 14. Omar Santana - Track Attack 15. Revolution Team - Let's Hit The Boomstick 16. Tellurian - Hardcore Junkies 17. Sim, Wax & B-Ernd - Plain & Simple 18. X-Caliber - Sanzia 19. Body Parts - Love In The First Degree 20. SPC Hardcore - Original 21. DJ Promo - Hardcore Still Lives 22. DJ Waxweazle - Hardcore Power 23. The Scrumbleheads - How It Sounds 24. Future Shock - Really Strange 25. Future Shock - Scratch Is So Nice 26. Lady Dana & Skorp vs Bass-D & King Matthew - The Execution 27. Jeremy - Throw? 28. Lords Of The Underworld - Loose Control 29. DJ Dano - Fuckem All 30. Disciples Of Annhiliation - Wanna Be A Gangster 31. Stickhead - Check This Mutha Down Obviously Paranoizer's collection is slightly different to us normal ravers. In this case I'm talking about the track selection: I do know around 90% of the records, but Paranoizer has added a few unknown gems to this mix. Never heard of The Scrumbleheads, Future Shock, X-Caliber, Insane, and Crypt. Fuck, that's more than 10% of this mix. But does it make me feel less Hardcore? Nah, I would say it makes me feel more Hardcore. This urge to explore new music has always stayed within me since 1994, so to hear records from 1996 creep up in 2019 is always good. Never too old to learn, eh? So, we are in 2019, and Hardcore is still alive (fuck you Update Magazine, who's still alive, eh?). This mix is living proof that we have embraced Hardcore, and that it's not going anywhere. Hardcore is here to stay, and I'm glad. This might be a mix focussed on a year long gone by, but it's still dedication and admiration that keeps us ravers moving. I do love the unique sound that came out of the scene around 96. It was such a magical year, and I fully understand Paranoizer's mix and why he selected this year. I've got only love to give. No hate or anything for this mix. 31 amazing records, and they all made me love Hardcore even more. OK, it' now called 'Early Hardcore', but I still love it, no matter what kind of label you stick on it. The mix is just perfect. You need to soak in all these awesome tunes. But it does make me wonder what happened to most of those DJs/producers? Where have they gone? Oh, how I miss the 90s sound. Best record? Oh boy, that was a difficult one this time. But as I said in the first paragraph (or second, who cares) I'm a Happy Hardcore fanatic, and therefore I select 'Let's Hit The Boomstick' as my favourite. An all time classic. Thank you Paranoizer for this wicked and truly mind boggling mix!

I'm a fan of 24/7, and a fan of UK Hardcore. And secretly a fan of M@rt!n-J. But don't tell him that, it's a secret. Anyway, he's made a brand new mix (as he does nearly every bloody week), and this time it's a mix dedicated to the label run by Al Storm, 24/7! And this label is still going strong, even in 2019! Will you Adam and Eve it, UK Hardcore is still alive and kicking, and kept alive by Al Storm and friends. And the amazing thing is, that the sound is still so damn good. The label pushes out a lot of excellent music from well established names such as Bananaman, Macks Wolf, Euphony, UFO, Alexander Norman, Rob IYF, Al Storm (of course), and more. This makes me happy, seeing as I like each and every artist. Who doesn't like these well respected UK Hardcore legends? So what can you expect in this amazing mix? Well, records from the label, and excellent UK Hardcore vibes from the first to the last second. UK Hardcore isn't dead. It has never been this alive! We just need to keep it alive, and with labels such as 24/7 I am not worried that this will happen. The tracklist, anyone? 01. Al Storm - The Noisemaker Is Back 02. Rob IYF & Disorderlee - Do About It (Dat 24_7 Remix) 03. UFO feat Keileigh MacDonald - I Wanna Know 04. Awesome 3 - Don't Go (Vinylgroover & Bananaman Remix) 05. Alexander Norman vs Whizzkid - King Cobra 06. UFO, Stompy & Supreme - Here Beside Me (UFO Remix) 07. Fitzy K & Rob IYF - Hide & Seek 08. Alexander Norman - Toys 09. Rob IYF - Heaven 10. The Watchmen - Take On The World 11. Euphony - Welcome To The Rave 12. Dougal & Disco's Over feat Lokka Vox - Reflections 13. Vinylgroover & Unknown - Ice Cold (Eufeion & Danile Remix) 14. UFO feat Keileigh MacDonald - Stand By You 15. Al Storm feat Malaya - One More Time 16. Al Storm & Euphony - Where's Your Head At (Rob IYF Remix) 17. UFO feat Keileigh MacDonald - Together Again 18. Bananaman & Easyvibe - Dust In My Eyes 19. Vinylgroover - My Little Fantasy (Bananaman Remix) 20. S3RL & Rob IYF feat Krystal - I Wanna Stay 21. Fitz K, Glichie & Jaylee feat Harri Rush - Missing You 22. Macks Wolf - Hit 'Em Like This 23. Al Storm & Euphony feat Laelia - Water In The Flame 24. Bananaman - Lucky Star This is a wicked mix. And I can only give M@rt!n-J credit for yet another amazing mix. Only one sidenote: it's got one obvious error, which he obviously has noticed too. Try and figure out which error I'm talking about. You do know it. But does it decrease the quality or outcome of this mix? Nope, not at all. Can I just say that I've fallen in love? Well, not really as such, but I do appreciate Keileigh's voice. Just listen to 'Stand By You' and you'll know why I think her voice is that of an angel! I do love the track a lot of course, but that's also because her voice is just so soothening. True UK Hardcore vocals. Happy and cheerful, and heavenly. OK, best record. It was difficult. There were a few smashers in here, but I've got to pick 'Hide & Seek'. This is EXACTLY what I need to hear! Never heard of Fitzy K before (who doesn't know Rob IYF?) but this is such a WICKED anthem! If I'd be at a rave and this would come up, I would move everyone out of the way and start raving like it would be my last day on Earth! What a dancefloor smasher, eartquake causing record. And a true UK Hardcore anthem! I've sadly got to say that I'm not a fan of remixes of already wicked anthems. Like 'My Little Fantasy' and 'Lucky Star'. I do still appreciate the original more than anything else, and sadly these remixes aren't as good or better than the original. Sorry. But if you are a raver and love everything and you follow the PLUR lifestyle and you love Al Storm and his label, let this be your guide. Yet another amazing mix by M@rt!n-J. Credits for being awesome mate. You keep the scene alive and kicking. Wicked mix mate.

As a teenager I remember purchasing the whole Hellbound collection. Well, I think it was the full collection (vol. 1 to 6, right?). Anyway, I've played them over and over, until my ears started to bleed and my record player did not appreciate the discs anymore. That's how much I loved this CD series. And I have to say that they were more damaged than the Thunderdome collection. And that says a lot! But for those who think Hellbound is something only relevant in the past, you are wrong! This weekend, and I'm not joking, Hellbound is taking place at The Box in Amsterdam, and since 1995 they've been alive and kicking. Hardcore until we die, eh? With a killer line-up this is an event you certainly don't want to miss: Franky Jones, Sequence & Ominous, Lady Dana, PCP Live, Predator, Arjuna, Resonant Squad, Xqruciator Live, Frantic Freak, and this is only the first area!! Can you Adam and Eve it? What a sick line up. One of the DJs performing has made a wicked promo mix. And the DJ I'm talking about is Predator. Ask him to make a promo mix and you know that there will be a good outcome! So here's the tracklist to this 36 minute long promo mix. And yes, it's got the classics! Mouth wateringly good. 01. Omar Santana - Necronomicon (Omar's Remix) 02. The Alternative Creators - Sound Creation (DJ Isaac Remix) 03. Annihilator - Ye Shall Die 04. The Coalition - 9MM 05. Predator - The Strongest Gang (The Hood) 06. Omar Santan - Get Ready Muthafuckas 07. Party Animals - Used & Abused 08. Da Predator - Final Confrontation 09. DJ Isaac - Bad Dreams 10. Tellurian - Get Raw 11. Zerox - Pumpin' 12. Omar Santana vs Scott Brown - Mad To Da Bone (Hard Mix) 13. Leviathan - Yes, No 14. ID - ID 15. Bruyaa & Ozonic - Broadcast 16. Davie Forbes - Techno Renegade (Scott Brown's Mix) 17. Bio-Forge - Turbulence 18. True Hardliners - Fuckin' Noise 19. Darrien Kelly & Scott Brown - Geleihoofd 20. Dark Destination - Don't Fuck With Me 21. 3 Steps Ahead - Drop It Will you look at this, eh? This takes me back to the solid days of Hellbound. Do you remember those days,eh? I love these records, all selected carefully by Predator. Truth be told, this is NOT the actual music from the Hellbound albums. Of course I cannot judge the events that took place in the 90s, never had the opportunity to visit one, but the music does not resemble what you could find on the albums. They were harder and rougher Hardcore. The records you wouldn't find anywhere else. It was soo damn tough, and only the hardest motherfuckers would appreciate it. Not saying I was as tough, but still hard enough. You can check Youtube for those albums. But am I complaining now about Predator's mix? Not really though. It's still filled with excellent Early Hardcore music, and you all know how much of a fan I am of this kind of music. Best record? No debate possible, it's Leviathan's 'Yes, No'. Such an underrated classic. If there's a top 100 of all time classics, this should be in the top 10, definately. I've experienced some recording issues when I was listening to this mix, but those are small. Don't let those take the fun away from this mix. Check it out right now, and if tickets are still available, make sure you get them. Be part of a legacy, spawned in 1995, and alive still in 2019. Hellbound. Side note: I just realised that the compilation in question was called 'Hellsound', and not 'Hellbound'. How stupid am I, eh?

I was thinking to start writing this review in Dutch, but that would not be beneficial to those who would like to be introduced to the Dutch Hip Hop scene. And I bet that there are a lot of you out there who have not heard of Dutch Hip Hop before, and never even knew it existed! And I don't blame you: how would you find out that Zwolle, a town in the Netherlands, had a lot of talent that produced Hip Hop? Well, today is the day you are going to find out that the Dutch have got more to offer than just the standard tulips, clogs, and weed. It's difficult to explain each and every record, what they are about. You do need to investigate some time into learning the Dutch language, but there are a few apps out there you can download, and they assist you with learning a language. For me personally Dutch isn't difficult, but that's just because it's my mother tongue. But if you are not Dutch you might find it difficult. In the end it will be worthwhile, because I have found all the records in this mix so touching and moving, and not the same if you compare it to the legendary Hip Hop from the States. The lyrics are true, and generic. Emotional, and no need to swear like mandatory in the States. Hip Hop can be filled with emotions, and a bit quirkiness too. And the artists who you can hear in this mix (A.r.t., Delic, Rico, Sticks, etc) are showing us that Hip Hop suits the Netherlands too. Obviously the biggest duo from Zwolle (Opgewzolle) were part of my childhood, and I was a fan during the short period they were active. 'Hoedenplank' anyone? Back when they were at the top of their game I was full into Hip Hop, and had an Astra F with a banging sound system (you do need that to feel the bass coming through). Zwolle is too far away from where I grew up, but via the power of music it reached this Southern Limburg resident. The tracklist only contains the titles, not the artist names. The one who mixed this together (Basterd, what's in the name?) only used the titles. And for once I cannot be fucked to use Google to find each and every artist on this mix, so if you want to know, just use Google, or if you know each and every name, please share it with me and I'll add it to the list. 01. Buitenwesten 02. Tjappies & Mammies 03. Made In NL 04. Spaanse Vlieg 05. Hardcore Rap 06. Meer Is Er Niet 07. Opgezwolle De Volle 08. Hoogtevrees 09. Hamvraag 10. Werk Aan De Winkel 11. Tijgers & Draken 12. 'Remix ?? 13. Waar We Ook Heen Gaan 14. Hoedenplank 15. Goeiedag Verder 16. Tempel 17. Verwend 18. Flows, Fases, Shows En Situaties 19. Laatste Dagen 20. Fakkeldrager 21. Carlo Colluci 22. Strik Je Veters 23. Sporen 2 24. Sporen 25. FB Ja 26. Op De Straat 27. Kleurrijk 28. Haters & Stokers 29. Volle Kracht 30. Volle Kracht met Winne 31. Tot Zo 32. Verliezen Is Geen Optie 33. Eeuwigheid 34. Buitenwesten Outro 35. Eeuwigheid This is obviously something unusual on my page: a tracklist in full Dutch language, and a Hip Hop mix too! But this is the kind of music I listened to during the early 00s to mid 00s. Yes, I do change music style every few years, but that's why I do listen to literally everything. Not only Zwolle has got Hip Hop artists, but to me the sound coming out of this town means the most to me. And especially the music! Just listen to the beats, bass, and melodies! Much better than anywhere else in the Netherlands. But that's my personal opinion. I love the vibes in each and every record, and the true dedication to the spoken word. They can literally speak about anything, and the message does come across. From happy and bouncy lyrics to extremely deep and dark (talking about the sickening disease cancer to someone who passed away). You have to be a master in the Dutch language, but it's worth it. Dutch Hip Hop is something you need to take seriously. I find this mix extremely interesting. Basterd's mix is nice, contains a few cross fading issues, but that's ok. Not something really big, but still something that he can master. To be fair, I have not heard any other Dutch Hip Hop mix before, so I don't know if it's difficult to mix? A nice mixtape from the legends from Zwolle. I wish there were more mixes like this one. I just love the vibes. So cool though, can't believe most records are 10+ years old: they sound like they were made only a few years ago, not more than a decade! Best records? 'Waar We Ook Heen Gaan', and 'Meer Is Er Niet'.

Who doesn't know the Horrorist? A Hardcore legend, but one that has keep critics busy over the years. This Hardcore DJ and producer (that's how I know him, not his Techno side) has made a few Hardcore anthems, and I have to put a downer on the review now, the record 'Flesh Is The Fever' being voted 'best record of 1997' has to be (for me) the most boring record of all time. A record which I find overrated. Never liked this record. Too weird and too much 'not me'. But how come I am writing a review of his HATE podcast, if I don't like that record? Surely something must have drawn me towards him? Well, I heard the 'One Night In NY City', remixed by Chris Liebing. I do like that record, even though the lyrics are extremely dark and sketchy. I wondered at the time what else of his back catalogue was on Soundcloud, and this pushed me towards this HATE podcast. Not familiar with this podcast series, and I have to say that the name is kind of unusual. HATE podcast? HATE? Kind of quirky, and it does stand out. At first I saw this and maybe they used the concept 'hate records', meaning the artists would only play records they despise, but that's not the case. Again, I only know the Horrorist from the Hardcore heydays, but to hear this Techno mix has changed my perspective on this man. I'm still not liking 'Flesh Is...', but I have decided to start listening to this mix with an open mind, and boy, that has changed my life! It's still dark and edgy, this mix, but oh so good! I much more prefer this side of the Horrorist than the Hardcore side. There, I've said it! 01. Audio Injection - Darker (Original Mix) 02. Folker Zwart - Shade 7 (Jeff Rushin Repaint) 03. Robert Hood - Clocks (Original Mix) 04. Giovanni Carozza - Old Contact (Original Mix) 05. Alex Bau & Mikael Jonasson - Und3rjord (Original Mix) 06. Jeroen Search - Isabor (Original Mix) 07. Mattias Fridell & Alexander Johansson - Classical Monologues (Original Mix) 08. Tafkamp - Shhhh 09. Randomer & Cadans - Anchor (Len Faki Hardspace Mix) 10. Slam - Structure (Original Mix) 11.

Ade Fenton - Brooklyn (Original Mix) 17. Guyver's Connection - National Und Standerat (Original Mix) I'm sitting here, typing away, and highly enjoying this podcast. Back in the 90s I would never have thought that I would listen to a Techno mix by the Horrorist. How things change, eh? And as I said before, I do prefer this Techno side of him. You cannot go wrong with Techno. Techno is the friendliest scene of them all. So pure and unadulerated. Unchanged. Simplistic, yet the most real of them all. The coolest sound ever created by mankind. And to hear this on a Saturday morning... what else could you wish for? I can only give credit to Oliver Chesler, a.k.a the Horrorist, for making this truly astonishing Techno mix. Not heard a Techno mix in a while, and when I first listened to this mix fully, I was blown away. The sheer madness is just beyond belief. I've really felt the vibes coming through the speakers, and love the dark and edgy Techno music. I just love it. Absolutely insane mix. A masterpiece. No errors, no flaws. Go and listen to this right now. Don't get the last record though, but that's just me. Best record? All 16. Not the last one. Doesn't fit, but that's a personal opinion. I do find it soooo 80s though. That's cool. No HATE for this mix. Only LOVE!

Let me make sure you all understand: my reviews are not to offend anyone. These are my personal views, and if you disagree, I do apologise. But sometimes you've got to write what you feel, and others disagree. So I will continue, and I might offend a few, and a few friends might go missing on Facebook, but so be it. I'm a fan of GPF. You all know it. And I'm not the only one. I've reviewed literally everything they have ever made, and I have seen them perform live at their event. But due to work commitments I could not go to Defqon.1. And also because I was too damn late for tickets. And also my health ain't great. So I've got excuses. But that doesn't mean I cannot enjoy their set, on this little island across the sea (the UK, if you weren't aware). A few days ago I was in the gym, and I found their actual liveset, which was on Q-Dance's Youtube page. And I pressed play. Wish it came with a warning: my sesh was so damn rough and hard, I strained a muscle between my shoulder blades and walked around for a week like Quasimodo. All because of their set. But what it also did, was generate a huge smile on my face. I couldn't stop laughing, and even today, when I'm listening to it again (this time via Soundcloud, it has been taken down from Youtube?). They've got this unique style, and it suits my personality. I'm messed up, and love the music as weird as possible. I can listen to everything, and over the years you have seen all types of genres fly by on my page. But GPF's style has got to be the weirdest one. It hard, rough, and you cannot categorise it. Is it Hardstyle? Is it Hardcore? Is it Terror? Just call it PuzzyCore, and offend even more. But who cares? I like the fact that they take the music with a pinch of salt, and laugh about it. Mocking themselves, mocking others, and just generally having a laugh. And having a fantastic PR team behind it. If you have missed the Piep Kick debate online, how quickly it escalated to a t-shirt and a 'movement', with an accompanied record to underline their 'hate' to the piep kick (that they use in literally everything!). See, GPF is a mind set that you can only experience when you are literally f**ked up to the bone. Their set and others disappeared from Youtube. Someone was quick enough to record it, and put it onto Soundcloud. So for now we use the Soundcloud player, but when Q-Dance uploads the sets again, I will change it to the Youtube video. Got other sets I want to review too, but you've got to see the madness. And you definately want to see GPF's set. What you also see, is the return of Matty! Where the fridge-magnet has he been, eh? The tracklist, before I start waffling about literally everything and nothing (seems like I could just join GPF, my mind works in mysterious ways)..... 01. The Pre Recorded Sex Show V69 UNMASTERED Test.wma (Official Whitelabel Anthem aftermovie original Matty revitalised deqon -6db donk Mix) 02. Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz feat Jizzy - Cummin On Ur Face 03.

Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz - Fuck My Mind (Rooler Remuxxx) 20. Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz - 69 Million BPM You can say whatever you like, but GPF are weird. Fucking weird. It's not like any other set you might have seen before. The music does not make any sense. It's hard, rough, and funny. A pinch of salt? Probably a big ass teaspoon. I love the fact that the video showed their set being watched by a lot of people. Not just at Defqon.1, but also all over the world. And they just take the mickey out of everything! Which DJ would think about doing a pre-recorded set and get away with it? Which DJ ends a set with a record that plays 69 million BPMs in less than 5 seconds? Who plays a messed up version of the Vengaboys, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift? Who used vocals from a porno and made it a catchphrase: 'don't do it, I'm a virgin'? Only GPF does it. Does that mean you need to take their music serious? No. You don't. Or you can. Depending on what you think of them. Some are extremely against them, and some just love them. The general feeling that they generate is fun. Laughter has been left behind us many years ago. But aren't other styles doing the same at the moment, making people happy, and laugh? Freestyle is one of those styles that just does whatever feels it should be doing. GPF are doing the same, but to the extreme. I'm not trying to get people all against me (who already hate GPF), but I'm just expressing my emotions. If you don't like them, my advise would be to never sit in my car. I think at least once a car journey (and they take up to 3 hours each way) I listen to something GPF-ish. And after discovering their Defqon.1 set, it has been on repeat (also Headhunterz set, but there will be a review coming up shortly). They make me happy. No-one understands them, but no-one understands me either. I have been going through hell the last couple of months, and GPF have made me slightly happier. I want to experience fun and happiness in life: depression already burdens people without them seeing the outcome of it all. When something comes across which might make you happier, grab it with both hands, and let yourself go. GPF do that to me. Music wise I have never been happier. Drokz, if you are reading this: this is indeed fucked up. You are right. But I still like it. Which record is the best? Well, when they announced the return of the much loved Matty, I like that. But the record that destroys me, is 'Extreme Piep Kicks'. That's some serious production skills. The build-up bit is beyond reckoning. Seriously impressive. A wicked set. I wasn't expecting anything less than perfect. Be it pre-recorded or not. Ps. welcome back Matty. Pps. The GPF boys have been kind, and uploaded this set finally onto their Soundcloud page. So enjoy!

Caine is back! The bald ginger bloke is back! It's been a while since I last heard a mix by this man: he's been pushing not just himself forward, but also an act called the Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz, ever heard of them? But today it's not about them, it's all about this ginger bellend, nipple loving, Scotchman. He is Scottish, isn't he? (I'm bad when it comes to accents). Wherever he's from, he's a legend. Can't believe he lives in the Netherlands now: the second I move to the UK to live near him, he moves away from me. He did that on purpose. Bastard. Anyway, we are talking bollocks now. Ginger bollocks. But now let's be serious: we should be serious, it's music business we are talking about. Theracords have got their own podcast series, have you heard them? I haven't, and this is my introduction into the 'Straight From The Hard' podcast series. If this is episode 11, there are 10 other mixes you should check out. But let's focus on the eleventh instalment. Who else should you ask? Caine is the obvious choice. This legend is pushing his sound forward, and I'm digging it a lot. In this hour long mix he has selected a lot of his own stuff, but also from a few friends of his. Obviously the main focus is Rawstyle. If this is too hard for you, please make sure you go away quickly! Move away from your screen and hide away from the world. If you think (on the other hand) that Caine is a soft pussy, and his music sucks donkey balls, press play. The tracklist is a beaty. Oh, and of course he played a GPF record. So predictable.... 01. Caine - TBA 02. Caine with Sheryl Daneen - Angels Deserve To Die 03. Aversion - Unleashed (Pro Mix) 04. Yellow Claw feat Juicy J & Lil Debbie - City On Lockdown (Caine Bootleg) 05. Jebroer - Gaan Met Die Banaan (Riot Shift DJ Tool) 06. D-Sturb - Until It's Gone (The Next Level Edit) 07. Caine - There Will Be Blood 08. Rooler x Caine - Worthless 09. Malice x Luminite - Death Destruction (Malice Live Edit) 10. Riot Shift - From The Grave 11. Radical Redemption - Accumulated Filth (Resurrection Mix) 12. Caine - Underground Movement (Kick Edit) 13. Caine - Bring The RAW 14. Caine - Chunky 15. Delete & Rooler - Annihilate (Original Mix) 16. Riot Shift - Boundaries 17. Caine - Way Of Prophecy 18. Dither - Lethal Drop 19. Awoltalk - Deadonarrival (Caine Remix) 20. Dither & Mike Cervello - The Get Down 21. Caine & John Harris - No Mercy (Caine's 200 BPM Remix) 22. Caine feat Gyze - We Fight Together 23. Bombsquad x F.Noize - The Chop Show 24. Gravedgr - Rampage (Caine Remix) (220 BPM Rampage Mix) 25. Rooler - Yes! (GPF - Fuck! Remix) Am I just imagining things, or is this mix hinting towards an upcoming Caine album? So much of his own productions in here. A few collabs, a few new records, and of course the hit of this moment (with Sheryl Daneen). Caine is on a roll, but is it finally happening? Is it coming? Ah, thanks Caine for naming a record after me. That's cute. 'Chunky'. More podgy, but still, chunky will do. Anyway, this mix. It keeps on reminding us listeners that this was done live, but where? Was it in Caine's bedroom? In DJ Thera's secret sex dungeon? In Matty's fish & chips shop? Where was this done, and how come I wasn't invited? Wherever it might have been done, it was a good location. Caine is on fire and gives us exactly what we need to hear. It's starts off with some nice Rawstyle anthems, and ending the mix with some ridicilous beats (must have been at least 69 BPM more than most of us can handle?) But he does the most logical thing: start slowly and finish hard and rough. It's like having sex. Can't start all hard and rough: you won't have any juice left after 40 seconds. You know I'm all jokes. I love life, and embrace as much as I can. So when I talk bollocks, you know I'm lost for words, and I'm trying to fill in as much as I can, to look rather professional. But with this mix I simply urge you to honour the legend, and press play. And bombard his Facebook and Twitter page, and ask when his bloody album is coming out. We need more Caine. Pussy videos are nice, but music is all that matters. And nipples, that's for sure. I've had a blast listening to this filth. Caine, you big bald fuck, you've done it again. Best record? Pfew, there are two. But D-Sturb's 'Until It's Gone' is just pure filth, and 'Bring The RAW'. I just had to choose these two. Couldn't just pick one. If I had to, it would be D-Sturb's record. When you hear this record for the first time in this mix, the bass just hits you harder than the previous records! Pure filth. Thanks Caine! You've made my Wednesday! Now go make pussy videos again.

Crikey, it's been a while since I last did a Top 5 list. I had a few days off, and now I'm back. What has happened inbetween? Well, I found a KELTEK mix, and my love for Hardstyle has erupted, like a volcano. I've been listening to a lot of Hardstyle lately, and it has dominated my long car journeys. But in a positive way: it made each journey much more bearable, much more enjoyable. So what kind of Hardstyle am I talking about? Well, excellent records that will do well in any DJ set. But you don't need to hear them in a set only: on their own they do have the power to change your mood in a split second. You will know what I'm talking about once I have shown you my favourite 5 of today. Some new, some old, and some of everything. This week's list is for the die-hard Hardstyle fanatics. Hope you enjoy it! 01. Headhunterz & Wildstylez - Project 1 (Sound Rush Remix) (2017) 2. Demi Kanon feat MC DL - Grace (2019) 3. D-Sturb & High Voltage - Universe (2018) 4. D-Sturb & MC Nolz - Conflict Override (Official Shockerz 2017 Anthem) 5. Headhunterz - Home (2019) And we will end with a funny record. I could only wish for the opportunity that GPF releases songs longer than 2 minutes long. But this jokey song is just what you need to hear. Beats, bass and melodies? Check! 69. GPF - #VOTEGPF (2019)

The other day I reviewed KELTEK's Defqon.1 mix, and in it, one of the dopest records selected by KELTEK was made by Da Tweekaz and D-Sturb. Quickly after discovering 'Anything', I went on the hunt for something D-Sturb related, and I came across this mix by Monkey Kong. Of course I've seen D-Sturb's name before, but I'm not fully into who's who in the scene, so I went for a quick search. This young producer has been raising eyebrows in a good way since mid 10s, and has been a favourite for many, producing dope anthems. After browsing for some information, to find out who's behind D-Sturb, I quickly became bored. Not because his history is boring, but because I'm not really that into that kind of information: I'd rather listen to music instead of reading about artist's history. So I quickly went back to Monkey Kong's mix, and the thing that struck me immediately, is the fact that they used a lot of awesome records, and that D-Sturb worked with the finest names in the Hardstyle/Rawstyle scene: Radical Redemption, E-Force, Act Of Rage, Warface, Nolz, Requiem, and more. If you are into Hardstyle/Rawstyle and love what D-Sturb makes, you'd better turn up the volume and make sure you are ready for an hour of awesome music. 35 records in 58 minutes: a full on megamix. 01. D-Sturb - On Your Mark 02. D-Sturb & Requiem - Ain't Changing Me 03. D-Sturb - Ready To Roll 04. D-Sturb & Alee - Party At My Place 05. D-Sturb - Ancient 06. D-Sturb - Losing Myself 07. Warface & D-Sturb feat Emese - Pull The Killswitch 08. D-Sturb & MC Nolz - Conflict Override 09. D-Sturb - High Power (The Next Level Remix) 10. Da Tweekaz & D-Sturb - Anything 11. D-Sturb feat Emese - Legacy 12. Warface & D-Sturb - Open Your Eyes 13. Rebelion - Rawfare (D-Sturb Remix) 14. Radical Redemption & D-Sturb - Ride On Our Enemies 15. D-Sturb - Anxious 16. MC Nolz & D-Sturb - Speak What You Know 17. Warface & D-Sturb - Drown 18. D-Sturb feat MC Nolz - Aiming For The Top 19. D-Sturb - Unbeatable 20. D-Sturb - Marked For Death 21. D-Sturb - Until It's Gone (The Next Level Remix) 22. D-Sturb feat Emese - The Ultimate 23. D-Sturb & High Voltage - Universe 24. D-Sturb - The Next Level Mashup 25. D-Sturb - Apocalyptic Darkness (The Next Level Remix) 26. Radical Redemption & D-Sturb - Kill Me 27. Radical Redemption & D-Sturb - Danger Zone 28. E-Force & D-Sturb - Once Again 29. Frequencerz & E-Force - Attention (D-Sturb The Next Level Remix) 30. Act Of Rage & D-Sturb - Let The Games Begin 31. Warface & Frequencerz - Menace (D-Sturb The Next Level Remix) 32. Radical Redemption & D-Sturb - Testarossa 33. D-Sturb & Malice - Drop 'Em Down 34. D-Sturb - Obey 35. D-Sturb - Nothing Like The Oldschool That was genuinly a power hour! Bloody Nora, I've not sat still at all! Couldn't believe Monkey Kong using 35 records in 58 minutes, and it turned out to be superb! I've heard a few 'megamixes' recently, and I'd say that the quality was poor. This one is the complete oppossite: nice and refreshing, really keeping the listeners hooked to D-Sturb and Monkey Kong's fast paced mixing. There are 35 excellent records to select from, but I've selected two: if you disagree, I'm not really bothered about that. But my two favourite D-Sturb records in this mix has got to be 'Conflict Override' and 'Universe'. Fight me. But I find these two records absolutely amazing, and they had me going completely ape (see what I did here, Monkey Kong?). Of course it wasn't easy to select these, but I found these two standing out from the rest. I can go on and on about D-Sturb and Monkey Kong, but I don't want to: we all got things to do on this boring and rainy Sunday, so let me just push you towards this mix, press play, and let this our long mix rule your life. Be it only for an hour, but within those 58 minutes your ears will say 'thank you' multiple times. Earporn this is.

Damn it, I'm always late. Should I even consider continueing blogging, if I only give you old mixes? Bugger me, this mix has been online for several months, and I've only discovered it yesterday! Bear with me, don't get all hyped up: I sadly didn't go to Defqon.1 , so my timeline wasn't filled with Defqon.1 posts or ads. But still, it would have been nice to have heard this absolute insane mix. Have you heard this one? I'm guessing you have. What a shite blogger I am. Anyway, if you haven't heard this mix yet, you are in for a treat! When I saw this mix, I pressed play, and immediately landed in Defqon territory. My God, I got the Defqon bug from the first second to the last. KELTEK, who used to be part of Psyko Punkz if I'm correct, has made this absolutely bonkers mix, containing the finest melodic Hardstyle anthems, the ones you would have heard at Defqon.1 this year, if you actually went. I didn't. But I closed my eyes, and for a split second I was among the thousands of fanatics, and felt invincible. Stronger than ever, powerful. Currently I'm in a Hardstyle mode, and hopefully it will last quite a while (I switch between music genres at least 4674674 times a week). If you are really into this mix, why not have a look at Defqon's latest CD, KELTEK has the honour to be the first out of four artists to showcase his skills. Others on this compilation: Sefa, Phuture Noize, and Delete. But for now, let's focus on KELTEK's Defqon.1 promo mix. And again, if you are digging melodic Hardstyle, you NEED to hear this one. 01. KELTEK - One Tribe (Defqon.1 2019 Anthem) 02. Wildstylez & D-Block & S-te-Fan - Wolves Cry 03. D-Block & S-te-Fan & DJ Isaac - World Renowned 04. Atmozfears x Sound Rush - Together As One 05. Hard Driver & KELTEK - Valley Of The Blind 06. Brennan Heart with Coone feat Max P - Fight For Something 07. Demi Kanon & Inverze - Break The Silence 08. Headhunterz & Sound Rush - Follow Me 09. Audiotricz - Don't Say Goodbye 10. Armin van Buuren - Wild Wild Son (Devin Wild Remix) 11. Sub Zero Project & KELTEK - Break The Game 12. Demi Kanon & DL - Grace 13. Devin Wild - Dream Deferred 14. Bass Modulators - Ruffneck Bass 15. Headhunterz & Sub Zero Project - Amen 16. Da Tweekaz & D-Sturb - Anything 17. E-Force & Rejecta - Kicked Out I've not been this excited for a mix like KELTEK's mix. The tracklist looked alright (alright, I'm not a 100% Hardstyle fanatic like the most of you, and haven't even heard 99% of these anthems), so when I pressed play,I entered a new dimension. It's like KELTEK ripped me a new arsehole without even asking. Or is that analogy not correct? What I meant was that this mix is beyond belief, and that's just because of all these anthems! I've been in and out of the scene every so often, but this set with these tracks shows promise to me. I think it's time for the scene to say 'welcome back' to me, TCD. I need more of this Euphoric Hardstyle: who cannot appreciate melodic and euphoric Hardstyle should really question their existence. I just cannot believe the amount of excellent melodic anthems! Yes, Rawstyle is rising on a daily basis, but thankfully we've not forgotten the melodies. To me an record becomes an instant classic when you can whistle alongside it. And ALL of these 17 records have that power! I've not stopped whistling and humming since the first time I heard it. And I'm driving people mad. The CEO of my company even looked at me when he walked passed. I whistle loudly. The biggest surprise in this mix is a record by Da Tweekaz and D-Sturb. As regulars know I'm not a fan of their music and the cheesy stuff, but this is next level shit. If only they could make more of this kind of stuff, they would have gained a new follower. This is big, this is worldly, NO, Heavenly music! But not the best record in this epic mix. That goes to 'Grace' by Demi Kanon and DL. This 80s vibe that the record starts with is beautiful, and when the beats kicks in, all hell breaks loose. Also KELTEK's Defqon.1 anthem is truly astonishing. Am I the only one who gets early Hardstyle vibes when hearing that record? I cannot express my happiness. This mix has given me so many happy emotions, and I haven't stopped smiling. Truly an astonishing mix, and showcase of an excellent year in Hardstyle music. I can only give this mix the highest score, seeing as I find this the best mix of 2019 so far. Hell, even the best Hardstyle mix of all time! Why not?

Back in 2009, at the Heineken Music Hall, a party was organised by Q-Dance, dedicated to the legend of the scene: DJ Promo. With a fucking epic line-up , you had to be a complete tool to miss it: Alex B, Promo himself, Endymion, D-Passion, Tha Playah, Ruffneck, The Wishmaster, The Outside Agency, Husz, Void Settler, Ophidian, Rude Awakening, Matt Green, Deathmachine, and Unexist. It's a good line-up, if you are a fan of Promo you wouldn't be disappointed. Between 4 and 5 in the morning Promo joined the decks with his friend Ruffneck, to play an hour of all-time classics. And that set has recently emerged onto Soundcloud. Interesting, yes. I've seen the set before and liked it, but cannot find it among those thousands of 'liked' sets. Fuck me, I need to be more organised. I'm so extremely unorganised: cannot find anything. So this small time user on Soundcloud uploaded it, thanks for that. But I had to go to the channel who has thousands of sets, magpie303. And it does come with a tracklist, so that's a bonus. And, before I forget to mention, you get an added bonus of DJ Ruffneck being pissed off at the end. You will hear why, especially when you are a native Dutch speaker. The tracklist is a thing of beauty, check this shit out: 01. Juggernaut - Ruff Message Part II 02. Predator - The Strongest Gang (The Hood) 03. Wedlock - Ruffneck (Sound Of The Drum & Bass) 04. Reyes - Rock With Me 05. Vanugenth The 5th - Here We Go Again 06. Hard Creation - I Will Have That Power 07. X-Factor - The Underground 08. Knightvision - Who Is It? 09. Promo - Ya Gangsta Music 10. Taciturne - Der Toten 11. Nosferatu - The Future 12. Myztic vs Myrmidon - Pop Goes Da Pistol 13. Diss Reaction - Jiieehaaaaaa 14. Bio-Forge - Turbulence 15. Wedlock - Acid Rain 16. DJ Isaac - Bass And Sound 17. Ectomorph - Heartbeat 18. DJ Rob & Tim B feat Da TMC - Bleeding Ears 19. DJ Promo - Beat Ya Brain 20. Wedlock - The Genesis 21. Predator - Mind Of A Lunatic 22. DJ Neophyte meets DJ Attic & Stylzz - Music Gets You Drunk 23. DJ Promo - Cold As Stone 24. Knightvision vs Wedlock - The Holy Kingdom 25. Undercover Anarchist - Ass Off (Remix) 26. Wedlock - Evolution Theory 27. Knightvision - Knight Of Visions 28. Chosen Few - Name Of The DJ 29. Brian Acardy - Let Da Bass Boom 30. Promo - Battling Ignorance A wicked mix. This will definately wake you the fuck up on this boring Sunday morning. You still asleep? Not for long. Just click 'play' and start enjoying the music. And even though the focal point is not Promo, you do get some Promo records. But the majority of records are from Ruffneck impressive back catalogue (himself and his labels). So, what are you currently waiting for? Press play, you knobhead. I just love the tunes a lot. So many underground anthems, still appreciated and loved by thousands of true die-hard motherfuckers. And I'm one of them. Just sit back and enjoy the anthems selected by both Ruffneck and Promo. Can't believe this event already took place 10 years ago. Maybe a new event is in the pipeline, Promo? At the end Ruffneck has a few words to say. How he appreciates the fact that he was playing with the legend himself, and he asks the audience to make some noise. At this stage they were probably all tired and knackered, so they didn't give their all. Ruffneck stopped the music, explained himself (God cholera lol) and gets the audience to scream their lungs out of their body. He's annoyed, but all in good fashion. He just wants everyone to acknowledge the legend that is Promo (and of course himself too). The tunes selected are all amazing, but as Ruffneck says, the last track is the one that does it for me. What a big anthem. Don't hear that one often. Can't even remember another set in which this was played at all! Two legends behind the decks. What more could you ask for?

The Summer is near to its end, and I've got to say that I've enjoyed 2019's Summer a lot. It has been up and down, but in general I do not think we should complain: at least we had a lot of days during which we could walk around in shorts and t-shirt. The Summer is slowly ending, and only this weekend it's looking good. The weather Gods are still nice to us (or is that storm Dorian?), and we can sit outside and enjoy the last BBQ of 2019. Time to enjoy it, and play the music we all want to hear. Solution, you might have heard of him or seen his name before, is on a mission. Uploading shitloads of his mixes on Soundcloud and Mixcloud (mainly Mixcloud), and they all have a Freeform vibe surrounding it. The one I'm writing about, is the one he uploaded onto Soundcloud a few days ago, and this mix contains records from Stamina Records, Tesla Tracks, FutureProof Sounds, and more. A full on Freeform mix. And that's exactly what we needed. Side note: if you want more of this, just go to Solution's Mixcloud page, and here you will find more mixes you will appreciate. Back to this mix. You want to see the tracklist, right? 01. A.B - Kielo (Digital Commandos Remix) 02. Greg Peaks - Afro Glean 03. Finnbarr vs Joey Riot - The Devil's Symphony 04. A.B vs Metrix - Feels So Good (Jakka-B Remix) 05. Grimsoul - Badass Geeks (Lost Faith & Spectrum Remix) 06. A.B - Awaken 07. Impact & Nomad - Utopia (Haze Remix) 08. Greg Peaks & Transcend - Reboot 09. Hedonistik Ritual - The Exorcism 10. Angel-OA - The Collapse (Transcend Remix) 11. Gercore - Legacy 12. Greg Peaks - Through The Walls 13. Transcend - Domination (A.B & Synthwulf Remix) 14. Greg Peaks - White Out 15. Greg Peaks - State Of Consciousness 16. Hedonistik Ritual - Destination 17. A.B & Douglas - TIWWA 18. A.B & Substanced - Injustice 19. Anon - *Special Unreleased Bonus Track* If you are a Freeform lover like yours truly, you probably had a secret spillage in your downstairs department. Also known as pre-cum. Pre-ejaculation. Normally that's not a big thing, but if you have had that before you even pressed play, you wil have the best eargasm you've experienced in a while. Make sure tissues are at your disposal. You'll need them. So much awesome music in an hour mix. Carefully selected and mixed by Solution. Has Christmas come early this year? Well, to be fair, it's not that far away, and we could see this mix as an early present, right? Two of the best records in this mix, and this is only judged by myself, are 'Badass Geeks' and 'Reboot'. Fight me if you disagree. I could have gone to Mixcloud, but I do seriously dislike it. So hence why I selected this Soundcloud mix by Solution. Which isn't a bad option, to be fair. Go to Solution on several social media outlets, and you will instantly be in Freeform heaven! Oh, and make sure you grab this Summer mix: it's a free download too! Oh yeah baby! Ps. does anyone know the title of the Anon record? And wasn't Gammer Anon? Or am I being absolutely thick now? Pps. if you are liking this, make sure you go to ILHB: he will be there too! Don't know if he's going to play, he could also do a bit of catering, or washing up, who knows? It's an ILHB party: anything could happen.

Guess what I've found this morning? Nope, wrong! I found this CD, the seventh instalment of the 'A Nightmare In Rotterdam' mix series! And I was immediately back in 1996! Do you experience the same, when you pick up a CD, you instantly feel like you are back in the year it was released? Well, I've got that with a lot of compilations, all dating back to the 90s. I'm a 90s kid, you should know that (born in 83 though). To see this CD and to hear those tunes again made this Friday even better! Who doesn't love Hardcore from 96, name one person who doesn't love it? I remember this CD well: it had a huge fuck up on the side sleeve: it stated it was the sixth episode but it was obviously not. As someone with OCD regarding numbers, it did freak me out. I had to hide this CD from the shelves, but even though the case would not be visible to anyone, the CDs were played over and over. And these CDs contained so many great and wicked anthems. Do you even remember half of these, bro? This wasn't the ultimate compilation, there were others slightly better, but whatever compilation you preferred: they all had unique and different records on them, some you wouldn't hear anywhere else! And this seventh instalment is no exception, this has got shitloads of records so good, and sadly forgotten. Check this out: CD 1: 01. Dionysos - Break On Through (Dymar & Maddox Metal Mix) 02. Critical Mass - Believe In The Future (DJ Weirdo & Sim Future Mix) 03. Neophyte & The Stunned Guys - Get This Motherfucker 04. DJ Pagan - Mister Mister Scarface (DJ Isaac Remix) 05. Wasting Program - Tell Me What You Find 06. Inferno Brothers - Slaves To The Rave (DE 2001 Mix) 07. Too Hostile - Make 'M Clap (DJ Paul Mix) 08. Big Deal - Papa Don't Stop 09. Hard Creation - Bust This Beat 10. Boombastic - Boooooom!!!! 11. Prezioso - Feel The Rhythm (Stunned Guys HC Mix) 12. Short Circuit - No Experiment 13. Ectomorph - The Beginning Of The End 14. Papa San - Perdonament (Discofrisco & DJ Inferno Mix) 15. The Stunned Guys - Beats Time 16. Kit Fox - Combat Zone CD 2 : 01. Body Lotion - Always Hardcore 02. Darrien Kelly vs Bass D & King Matthew - Come On 03. The Ultimate Buzz feat MC Bee - On A Mission (DJ Isaac Live Edit) 04. Angel - Take Me Away (DJ E-Rick & Tactic Mix) 05. DJ Paul - Fuck You Maniac! 06. Masters Of Ceremony - Happy Hour 07. Human Resource - Dominator '96 (K.N.O.R. Hardcore Version) 08. Neophyte - Manic Truth 09. Lunalotic - Basspump 10. Activator - Maniac 11. Lenny Dee vs DJ Paul - Pump It Up 12. Hard Creation - Dance 2 Da House 13. Naughty Boys - 1-2-3 Fuck 14. DJ Attic & DJ Stylzz - In My Mind 15. Darrien Kelly vs Bass D & King Matthew - Generations 16. Lunalotic - Happy House...??? This album comes from a time when Happy and Hardcore were still appreciated in general, and there was no emerging Happy Hardcore CD market, where everything had to be separated. On this edition you can find everything: Hardcore, Gabber and Hapy Hardcore. And plenty of each to find. I wouldn't say this is a majestic CD. But it does contain some excellent tunes, like 'Dominator '96', 'The Beginning Of The End', 'Break On Through', 'Dance 2 Da House', and more. Obviously me being a Happy Hardcore fanatic, I had to choose 'Take Me Away', remixed by E-Rick & Tactic. I just love this compilation: it's so Rotterdam-ish. Most records have got this unique and distinctive sound, only used by producers from Rotterdam. It did have some stinkers on here, like 'Booooom!!!', 'Happy Hour' etc, but it still creates a nice vibe whilst listening to it. The album and its content sounds dated, but all dating back to a wonderful era of music. Hardcore and Happy Hardcore side by side. Wouldn't be long after this that the 'mainstream' started to hate and spit on HHC. A shame and dispicable situation. There was a reason why this was the only 'A Nightmare...' CD in my collection. It's okay. Still makes me move in 2019, but not the best compilation ever. That's for sure.

When you hear the name Joey Riot, it's difficult not to mention 'fucking' inbetween Joey and Riot. I remember seeing him for the first time at Uproar, and the crowd went mad for him (including yours truly). I think it was the Summer Sounds edition. Many moons ago, yep. But if you think that Joey just sat on his arse doing nothing, you are wrong. Many of you true ravers know that he's been very active in the Hardcore/Gabber scene, being one half of Destructive Tendencies, and now also part of an act called... fuck, what was it called again? Nefarious? Nebula? Something that starts with the letter N. Joey has been a busy bee, but he has never left the UK Hardcore scene completely, which is a good thing. This year's Creamfields had their own KTRA area, and on the Sunday a few acts were playing the hardest music available: Kutski, Darren Styles, MKN, Cally, Crystal Mad, Callum Higby, Obsession, and as a special guest they had DJ Coone. But this set you are about to listen to was recorded at Creamfields, and it was the master himself behind the decks. And expect madness. He doesn't just play UK Hardcore anthems, but also some Hard House, some EDM, and some Hardstyle records. And some quirky cheesy records. But hey, he was the closer of the KTRA area, why not end with a very versatile set? The tracklist is a beauty. You couldn't ask for a more diverse and versatile tracklist. Check it out: 01. Arkangel - Euphoria 02. Kurt - Imagine 03. Joey Riot & Macks Wolf - Mystic Revolution 04. D-Block & S-te-fan and DJ Isaac - World Renowned 05. Dr. Phunk, Steve Aoki & Timmy Trumpet - Hava 06. Da Tweekaz - Scatman (Revese Bass Mix) 07. Audiofreq - Play The Game 08. Da Tweekaz - Tequila (Minus The Crown Remix) 09. Joey Riot, Klubfiller & Alex Prospect - Don't Know How To Make You Happy (Suae x Technikore Hardcore Remix) 10. Joey Riot - Born 2 Late 11. Salvatore Ganacci - Horse (Tweekacore Flip) 12. Darren Styles meets Calvin Harris - How Deep Is Your Switch (Weaver Mashup Edit) 13. Stormerz - Be The One (Macks Wolf Remix) 14. Showtek - FTS (Komb Flip) 15. Technikore - Think About You 16. Minus The Crown - 4 In The Morning 17. Gareth Emery - Take Everything (Joey Riot vs Atom, Gee & Mickey P Flip) 18. CLSM - See You On The Other Side (Joey Riot & Elov8 Remix) 19. Swedish House Mafia - Don't You Worry Child (Chaos Hardcore Flip) 20. Joey Riot x Elov8 - Calling 21. Blaster & Project Core - Begins 22. Destructive Tendencies & Evil Activities - Death By Stereo 23. Monkey Bizness - Monkey Dance 24. Headhunterz - Orange Heart I wasn't wrong, the tracklist is literally a mashup of everything. And I reckon that those who remained active until the end were in for a treat, when Joey fucking Riot was closing down the arena. Who else would you want to have, eh? Joey is the man to do just that. Joey knows exactly how to get everything and everyone on the dancefloor, and sitting here at home, I had difficulties sitting still. He has selected some serious dancefloor smashers. You don't believe me? Just listen to this set, and you will hear all of them. But the best one, and it was an easy choice, has got to be 'Imagine' by DJ Kurt. The last time I heard a Kurt tune was a Powerstomp tune, but thankfully he's made the transition to Hardstyle: this tune is fantastic! Never knew he made Hardstyle to begin with. A good set, one you had to experience to fully understand it. And it does have some quirky moments. 'Monkey Dance'? Every Tweekacore record? It is indeed a mashup of everything, Joey's set, but I think you needed to be at Creamfields, KTRA arena, to fully understand the vibe of the night. I wasn't, as you can tell. But I wish I was. It's been too long since I've seen Joey play. I've mentioned this in other reviews, but not a fan of Tweekacore or anything they produce sadly. There's a limit to my admiration of cheesy music, but they just made it sound dreadful. Proper music it's not (well, not in my ears). I'd rather listen to Joey Riot's records, like 'Mystic Revolution', also a belter of a track. A good set. I've woken up and pressed play immediately, and it has made me a happy bunny. Will it make you happy? Oh, and you can download this too, btw! All for free!

A few days away has done me well. Now back in London, I had to return to blogging. And the first mix I found (and played) was Waxweazle's mix he did nearly two years ago. His 'best of' mix was uploaded onto Mixcloud and got good feedback from the fans. And I think I did a review last year, but I'm not entirely sure. So here it is, the new and probably improved review of Waxweazle's mix. And if you are a fan of his early stuff, his label, and all the artists who released music on his labels, you are in for a good time! DJ Waxweazle has been an established name in the Hardcore scene for God knows how long. He has been there since I started developing a feeling for it. And since that moment Waxweazle has constantly been my source of good Hardcore music. If you are a fan of him, you know he has released a few dancefloor smashers over the years, and his tunes are still played, even in 2019/2020. Waxweazle has been one of the dominators of the scene for many years, and even now he keeps on keeping the weird looking logo and its music alive and kicking. To celebrate decades of awesome music, he made this excellent mix. The tracklist will make you happy and excited. And makes you realise time has flown by too damn quick. So here it is, and be prepared to be happy in a split second! 01. Waxweazle - Take It Slow 02. Promo - (Forever) I Want You (Waxweazle Remix) 03. The Classic Men - We're Gonna Get This Place 04. The Classic Men - Can We Help You 05. The Classic Men - Now It Begins 06. Waxweazle & Guitar Rob - Pump It DJ 07. Somebody From Rotterdam - Let The Bass Flow (95 Remix) 08. Tails & Noizer & Waxweazle - Wake Up Call 09. Waxweazle & Guitar Rob - Spread Your Wings 10. Waxweazle - Throw Your Hands In The Air (Waxweazle Power Mix) 11. Waxweazle - The Sequel 12. Waxweazle - Come With Me (Waxweazle Hard Mix) 13. Waxweazle - It's About Time 14. DJ E-Rick & Tactic - Hands In D'Air 15. Recharge - Feelings 16. DJ Delirium - The Party Starter 17. DJ Delirium feat Guitar Rob - The Rhythm's On Time 18. DJ Delirium & Guitar Rob & DJ Waxweazle - Dreams Of Heaven 19. Recharge - Bumrush 20. Waxweazle - Feel The Rhythm (Chipo Chipolata Mix) 21.

Chico Chipolata - To The House 34. Waxweazle & Promo - Fixxxed 35. Waxweazle - Hardcore Power '97 (Waxweazle feat MC Mouth Of Madness Mix) A definitive mix by one of the leading names in the Hardcore/Gabber scene. It's got shitloads of excellent tunes, some forgotten, and some still at the forefront of the scene. Still being played all over the Hardcore world. It's a wicked mix. It does contain the records you wanted to hear, all in an hour and a half long mix. Mixed by Waxweazle himself. And it's something you were waiting for. Who doesn't want to hear the classic anthems? Name one person who doesn't want to hear them? I never knew Waxweazle made that many records, and I think this is only the top of the iceberg. Obviously the most well known records have been selected, but also a few I've never heard before. Maybe they have appeared on dodgy compilations I never felt the urge to buy. But which is my favourite record in this mix? Well, a few Waxweazle records are my favourites, like 'Dreams Of Heaven', 'Everything Starts With An E', 'Hardcore Power', but I've give 'E-Rick & Tactic the credit for one of the dopest Hardcore anthems of all time: 'Hands In D'air'. Fuck me, whenever I hear this I want to let myself go completely. Underrated? Yes. A wicked mix, but it does have some small errors, But would you be worried about it, when the tracklist is this good? Don't be a dickhead, but appreciate the mix as a whole. And as a whole it's beautiful. Some records are also played very shortly (like 'Hardcore Power'), but that gives you the opportunity to dig through your record collection and find those hidden gems. I'm doing that now, currently playing 'Thunderdome 19', just to hear the full record! Good mix to start your Wednesday with!

True Hardcore ravers, listen up. I'm not here to start a debate or anything, but we all have to agree that the two biggest labels in our history have got to be Quosh Records and Essential Platinum, right? Sadly these two labels have kind of vanished of the face of this earth, which is a complete pity. But we are left behind with the legacy that these two labels carried with them throughout their years of activity. Someone on Soundcloud called Reggie More Raves (what a name, eh?) made this mix 6 years ago, and as he states it on Soundcloud, this mix is "only for ravers who appreciate Hardcore where it's come from!" Now you know. If you are a raver who does not appreciate Hardcore, you can do one. This mix is a nice hour and a half long, and contains the finest records from both Quosh and EP. Of course you can expect music from Sy & Unknown and Dougal & Gammer. This mix is full of the finest records, some even forgotten. You don't hear them that often anymore. And you know the worst thing? I've forgotten them too! It's only because of me waking up with a Sy & Unknown record in my head, and wanting to hear more. And voila, the mix we are listening to is the result of a wake-up-with-a-song-in-your-head moment. The tracklist is a beautiful thing, here it is: 01. Sy & Unknown - Bring Me Round To Love 02. Dougal & Gammer feat Jenna - Heaven On Earth 03. Sy & Unknown - Do We Have To Say Goodbye 04. Dougal & Gammer feat Jenna - Paradise 05. CLSM - Free Your Mind (Sy & Unknown Remix) 06. Dougal & Gammer feat Jenna - Don't Go Away 07. Expression & Gbh - Night Time (Sy & Unknown Remix) 08. Dougal & Mickey Skeedale - Really Love You (Dougal & Gammer Remix) 09. Picco - It Goes On & On (Sy & Unknown Remix) 10. Dougal & Gammer - Lifting Me Higher (Back To '97 Mix) 11. Dab Hands - Super Good (Sy & Unknown Remix) 12. Dougal & Gammer - Make Some Noise 13. Fergus & Mayhem - Take Control (Sy & Unknown Remix) 14. Dougal & Gammer feat Lisa Abbott - Stop The Clock 15. Sy & Unknown feat Ben Williams - Don't Wanna Let You Down (Joey Riot Remix) 16. Dougal & Gammer - Lose Me Forever 17. Sy & Unknown feat LouLou - Right Here 18. Dougal & Gammer feat Jenna - Don't Say Goodbye 19. Joey Riot & Technotrance - Together Again (Sy & Unknown Remix) 20. Dougal & Gammer - Anybody Else But You 21. Sy & Unknown feat LouLou - The Time Of Our Lives 22. Dougal & Gammer feat Nikki Mac - All My Dreams 23. Sy & Unknown - For An Angel (Rusty Records Cheeky Lover Edit) 24. Dougal & Gammer feat Jerome - There For You 25. Sy & Unknown - Feels So Good 26. Dougal & Gammer feat Lisa Abbott - Right Here By My Side 27. Sy & Unknown - Pictures Of You (Technikore Remix) 28. Dougal, Gammer & JB-C feat Jerome - No Way Back 29. Sy & Unknown feat Kirsten Joy - Bright Like The Sun 30. Dougal & Gammer feat DWB - Shine Your Light Now that's an exciting tracklist, isn't it? Pure and unadulterated Hardcore. And please be advised that I'm talking about UK Hardcore, not European Hardcore. There's a huge difference between both. So if you think Happy is bad, do not listen to this mix. But if you appreciate excellent and well produced music, and also a tad happy, make sure you check our Reggie More Raves' mix. I always had a connection with both duos. There were other duos I appreciated, but none as much as Dougal & Gammer and Sy & Unknown. It might be obvious to me, but for me Sy & Unknown are the kings of UK Hardcore. They were actually the ones that introduced me into the style. I bought a CD back in the early 00s and the first record on there was a Sy & Unknown record. Hence why my connection is there. Dougal & Gammer are ace too, but for personal reason I do like the other a bit more. There are simply too many wicked anthems in this mix, and I have to select one. Fuck that's not easy, but I had to pick two: 'Super Good' by Dab Hands, and 'Feels So Good'. I just cannot decide between both these anthems. Absolute anthems. Disagree if you like, and I'll fight you. How can you not like these two? A cracking mix by Reggie More Raves. An old one but solid one. This will make your Friday go by quickly. Enjoy it, and it's also a free download! Woop woop!

God! I completely forgot about these bad boys! This makes me feel old: the Thunderdome School Edition CDs! Who ever owned an agenda, which came with a free CD? Who was a cool student, walking around with this agenda, showing your love and dedication for Thunderdome and Hardcore music? Or who bought this and didn't even go to school? Well, I was that kid (who went to school) and was a proud gabber. Not bald, because I still lived at home and my mum would have beaten the crap out of me, but still die-hard Hardcore fanatic. So proud of this memory though. As expected, magpie303 uploaded the actual CD onto Soundcloud, and the memories came pouring back into me. I decided to check Discogs, because I was wondering how long they actually did this for, and to my amusement, they only released it for 2 years, and they even had a HAPPY HARDCORE agenda + CD! No freaking way, why have I not bought all of these? You had the 'Happy Hardcore' School Edition and 'Happy Dance' School Edition. Well, at least I showed my appreciation for Hardcore in general, eh? The one I still have was the 98-99 edition of the Thunderdome edition. This edition wasn't a mixed CD, and it only contained 4 records, unmixed. Not less exciting though, but not what was released the year before: a 16 minute long megamix! Well, more like 17 minutes long, but containing 16 records, so indeed a megamix. Brutal to the core, and containing extremely tasty records. One commenter on Discogs thinks it was DJ Weirdo who mixed it together, and it does indeed sound like it. Before we delve into the tracklist: can my fellow student from 1997 return this CD to me? I forgot who 'borrowed' it from me, and sadly never returned it to me. I think it's the same student who borrowed Thunderdome 96 and broke it. You know who you are, just return it. Thanks. 01. Mindcrimers - Madman 02. Pulp Shock - Far Away (DJ Sim Hardcore Remix) 03. Wasting Program - Bring That Shit Back (DJ Arduna Remix) 04. DJ Sim - Cartoons In Progress (Original Mix) 05. Tails & Noizer feat MC Drokz - Boom-Shaka-La 06. DJ Delirium & Da Grimreaper - Gangsta Sound 07. DJ Weirdo & DJ Phil Omanski - Young Birds (Original Mix) 08. DJ Delirium - No Turning Back 09.

Pino D'Ambini - Up & Down Ballz (Buzzy Goes BZRK) This still brings a smile on my face, and at the same time it makes me scared: how the fuck has time flown by so damn quickly? This CD is 22 years old! 22 years. Can you Adam and Eve it? I cannot. I have only turned 36 the other day, and being 14 feels like yesterday (the year I went to Mysteryland on my own, raving amongst 25.000 ravers). Hearing this mix takes me back to school, when I was an idiot, being the clown mostly. And look where I am now? 22 years later, sitting in London, behind my computer, enjoying life, and not missing school one bit. The mix isn't the best I've ever heard. It's alright, but not great. Too rushed. And if you still have the original cover, you can see that they made a few mistakes on the back. But I think that has happened a lot during the 90s. I think it was a running joke, right? Who would be in their right mind to not be able to typ the artist correctly, or even typ the title of the song correctly? A joke, right? The records on their own are amazing. I forgot about a few, like 'Fatal Morgana', 'Metrodome', 'No Turning Back', 'Boom-Shaka-La', and more. But when I heard them in 2019, I was teleported back to 1997. Big anthems, but the biggest one has to be 'Cartoons In Progress'. DJ Sim. Do I need to say more? A wonderful bit of my youth, and this will be an eternal memory. Not the best mix, but it made me who I am, and still has the power to light up the Hardcore spark inside of me.

I'm not regretting the following statement (and if I did, I would not have started the review with it), but to me Energy Field is the number 1 Freeform label at the moment. Sorry other labels, but it just seems that DJ Cyrax's label releases absolutely gorgeous tracks only. If you are unaware of this label or DJ Cyrax (which we understand though: who wants to know him?), it's time for you to get a good understanding of what this label does, and how GOOD the records are. DJ M@rt!n-J already knew this, hence why he has uploaded this mix 3 days ago, containing records from this mighty label. So, well, I think I have already mentioned everything you need to know about this label. It's DJ Cyrax's label, and on it you will only see/hear the finest Freeform records by the finest producers. Don't believe me? Well, you can check the tracklist out in a second and within a second you will know that this label, even though it's fairly new, does not take prisoners. The mix is about 55 minutes long, and within those 55 minutes I had at least 7 orgasms. Or eargasms as I would like to call them. I'm surrounded by thousand tissues right now. It's not a pleasant sight, but hey, I'm not bothered. Let's dive straight into the tracklist. This will blow your mind, trust me! 01. Transcend & Cyrax - Insight 02. Transcend - Noise & Confusion 03. A.B & Cyrax - Binary Star 04. Transcend - Focus 05. Substanced - Martyr 06. Transcend & Cyrax - Follow Me 07. Transcend - Communion (VIP) 08. Transcend & Cyrax - Chemist 09. Substanced - Martyr (A.B & Cyrax Remix) 10. M-Project - Morning Light (Transcend & Cyrax Remix) 11. Transcend & Cyrax - Quell 12. Substanced - Jade 13. A.B & Cyrax - Power See, you were reading the previous paragraph, and you were not believing me. But now you've seen the tracklist, you do underline the awesomeness of this tracklist, and that this label is so damn good. But if you haven't heard the tracks already, now is the time to skip the rest of this review, go straight to the end, and start listening to the music. I have to say, I'm astonished if anyone is actually reading my nonsensical bollocks. Go listen to the music. Come on. Before we all start listening, shout out to M@rt!n-J for yet another amazing mix. This DJ is on fire yet again. He's an unstoppable force, and will provide us all with lots of amazing mixes, containing records filled with awesome memories. For me this latest Freeform mix contains the most memories: when I first heard these records I fell in love, and immediately asked Cyrax if a compilation was being released. Sadly the answer was no. You can only get this records separately. Not a fan of that, but that's just me (I'm a silly bollocks). But now M@rt!n-J has put them all in one mix, and that has made me an extremely happy person. Can't you see me smiling? I've said it in other mixes containing this record, but Substanced's 'Jade' is the biggest Freeform record of all time. What an absolute beast of a track! From a mid section that has nice guitar bits, to a section that builds up to the best and fastest bit (yep, you can tell I'm not a producer: not using very professional terms), this record feels to me like I've just entered heaven, and it will be a thousand years of raving to this tune. Come to think of it, yeah, why not? Fuck standard. Freeform forever! Another smashing mix. Hopefully this mix will give Energy Field the recognition it deserves. And also give Freeform the stage it deserves. And last but not least: give M@rt!n-J all the credits for this and all the other mixes he has made! Another epic mix.

Yesterday was my birthday, and I still continued reviewing. It's a non-stop business. Not highly appreciated though, but it's a hobby, and I keep it alive as long as I can, or simply can be arsed. Some days you find NOTHING online: all the mixes are boring and not exciting, and this results in you going back into your music history, and check awesome mixes/CD, and some days the whole day you are flooded with excellent music. Like a few days ago: Pearsall notified me that there's a new mix, made by him, on Soundcloud. But I'd already spotted his mix. I'm quick, when it comes to things like that. And I have to be honest to Pearsall: I cannot remember if I'd ever seen the previous instalments of this mix series before. Or maybe I have, but due to the alcohol abuse during the 90s my braincells are slowly dying, I simply cannot remember at 36 years old. Anyway, this tenth instalment is an achievement mix. He's recently reached 250.000 plays on Soundcloud, which is simply an astonishing achievement for Pearsall, but to be fair, he deserves all the credit. For what he's doing to the music scene, he and his page deserves more credit. So fuck it, I'm promoting another website now, but click here to visit Pearsall's successful blog! One day I'll be as successful as his page. I'm hoping. But for now that's wishful thinking. Let's focus on my fellow blogger's mix. And it's a good 'un. Containing records from 10 genres (and I'm not kidding)! How cool is that? You don't see mixes like that very often. And it does work. It simply does. The mix is 90 minutes long, and vinyl only. It's a mix you want to see, and hear! 01. Head High - Set Me Free 02. DJ Different - Fast Forward To The Outer Rim 03. Special Request - Lockjaw 04. Manor House Boyz - Full Resonance 05. Dawl - Bad Trip 06. Posthuman - King Rat 07. Zero B - Lock Up (Jerome Hill Remix) 08. Chrissy - Hold On Tight 09. Skin On Skin - Multiply 10. Boylan - Shimmy 11. Syer Barz - Mushrooms 12.

Champa B - Dread Conquer What an immense mix! You literally get everything: from Jungle to Techno, to Dubstep, to (name a scene and he's played it). And the end result is an hour and a half of absolute blissful music. Pearsall has never disappointed me, so his latest mix gets a thumb up. Ok, make that two thumbs up. This Berlin based DJ has given the world a lot of excellent mixes, and he has always made them as good as possible, setting the benchmark high for himself and others. Pearsall is a dedicated music lover, and the way he portraits his love for the music is just adorable. You can tell he lives for the music. The connection between all these styles has got to be the breaks, right? He has made this mix sound effortless, and I'm guessing that it has been the oppossite, right? Most bedroom DJs cannot even mix two records together, and he just fucking did 10 genres in 90 minutes! Fuck, that's impressive. I've got only love and admiration for this mix. No negative bits and bobs, only credit. Pearsall, you fucking monster, you've created yet another epic mix. Thumbs up from TCD. Epic, epic, epic. Just what I needed to hear after a hard day of work. Now I need to wind down, and relax. Perfect mix for a breezy Sunday morning. Worth checking out!

Don't ask me, yeah, but I never knew Dutch Breakbeat Gabber was an actual thing! I categorised all Hardcore/Gabber as one style, never make a distinction between the styles. Was it happy, it belonged to the Happy Hardcore side. Did it sound like it came from Rotterdam or The Hague? Gabber it is. Hardcore for everything else. Well, I've just polarized the whole scene, but that's just my perspective. I never knew that these tunes you are about to listen to, fell under this category. But it's awesome though, I've learned that Breakbeat Gabber was my favourite kind of Hardcore! So I found this mix only a few days ago, and I immediately fell in love with it! I don't need to reiterate that I was unaware of the styles' name, but for whatever reason it might have been, I have always loved these tunes. Only a handful of tunes selected by DeeGun were unknown to me, but all the others were (and still are) my favourite anthems. Yes, maybe a tad cheesy/happy, but who cares? A true Hardcore minded freak like me would acknowledge these tunes, and see them for what they really are: underrated classics. DeeGun's selection is truly mindblowingly beautiful! This is what I'm looking for in a Hardcore/Happy Hardcore mix! This is my child hood in a 51 minute mix. Yeah yeah, many other tunes dominated my youth, but these were so good, I've played these over and over. And if you were around the time these were successful, you will look at this tracklist, and your heart might skip a beat. Do you require an ambulance? 01. Lockjaw - Ruff 'N Ruggin' 02.

Without A Doubt - Don't Speak 22. 3 Steps Ahead - Drop It Well, I never knew! Fuck me sideways! I just, literally just visited Discogs, looked on The Beatsquad's page, and it told me that behind that project were E-Rick & Tactic! My God! The things you learn, it's just astonishing! Now I understand why both groups always appealed to me: they were bloody well the same! I wonder what happened to them. I do wonder sometimes what has happened to those oldschool legends. Brothers In Crime, Weirdo & Sim, El Bruto, Twin Terror, Discofrisco, Mongoose, Lockjaw, etc. They were part of my childhood, and now they are gone. Not that I want to know all the gossips though, but I simply wondered. One day they are there, and the next they are gone. Anyway, let's talk about the mix. DeeGun's mix. Never heard of this DJ before, or have seen anything by him/her before. But this mix is extremely interesting, and tasty. For this true Hardcore fanatic it's just an eargasm, 51 minutes long. Yes, there are a few shite records but you can't have it all, eh? But what about those fucking classic anthems like 'Hands In D'Air', 'Young Birds', 'Happy Vibes', 'Uptempo Beatz', etc? There are simply too many AWESOME records: if I had to pick one, it would be difficult. Not impossible, but difficult. Favourite record: I had to choose between 'Uptempo Beatz', 'Hands In D'Air', 'Hysterical Drumbeats', 'Give All Your Love' and 'The Beat Goes On', and I picked the last on my list. The Beatsquad. I don't know if they still exist (probably not), but if they do, please let me know where they perform. I always appreciated their music, and still in 2019 go ape when I hear the tunes they made. Does anyone actually know if they made an artist album? Or shall I visit my Discogs friends and see if they've got the answer? Ah well. DeeGun's mix is truly interesting. EXCELLENT record selection. You don't see these in such a tracklist that often, all together. All those beautiful anthems together. The mixing could be slightly better and the bass control sometimes nearly blew my speakers into a million speakers, but the general gist of this mix has been received and understood. Hardcore will never die. And Dutch Breakbeat Gabber just rocks! More of this style! MORE!

I have not heard a mix by M-Project in a long while. Maybe the algorithm on Soundcloud has changed, and does not show me anything M-Project related, which is a pity: still follow this legendary producer. Mainly know as a J-Core and Powerstomp producer/DJ, but he has slowly changed his direction, his musical preference, and he's literally making everything now. Didn't he have a big release on a big label a couple of months ago? Rave Muzik? M-Project is big, and I'm not talking about his size. More like his posture, and his musical reach. In his latest mix you do hear a bit of Powerstomp influence, but this HDM mix also shows what he's capable of. Not bound to just one style or genre, M-Project can do it all. And he's making EDM more interesting, turning it into HDM. Now, I've got to say that I'm not a fan of EDM in general, and those records selected by M-Project would normally be avoided by myself, but something deep down inside of me is asking if I can give this a go. Listen to M-Project's flipped records (well, the majority are). Let me show you the tracklist and you will know immediately what I'm on about. 01. Vau Boy & M-Project - Pretend 02. Salvatore Ganacci - Horse (M-Project Flip) 03. KO3 & DJ DiA - Rainbow (M-Project Flip) 04. Joyryde - The Box (M-Project Flip) 05. Pegboard Nerds - Gunslinga (M-Project Flip) 06. RIOT - Jungle Fury (M-Project Flip) 07. M-Project & Signal - Cyber Bass Rave 08. RIOT - Overkill (M-Project Flip) 09. Metal One - Melodies Of Passion II (M-Project HDM Remix) 10. MOB - Midnight Daydream (M-Project Flip) 11. Pegboard Nerds & LugOOber - Bring Me Joy (M-Project Flip) 12. YUC'e - Future Candy (M-Project Remix) 13. Porter Robinson - Language (M-Project Flip) I'm guessing that M-Project loves to make omelettes, seeing as he's the flipping master. Flippin' heck, the amount of 'flips' in this mix is astonishing. I think 85% of the records used are flipped. Flipped by the mighty M-Project. Anyway, can I ask, before we talk about the music, what happened between 'Cyber Bass Rave'? Is it just me, or has the bass completely gone? Or is it a joke? Because I tried to reset the speaker and the prior and post record to this one both have clear bass. Can anyone advice me on this, what have I done? Are my speakers knackered? Time to upgrade? It's my birthday soon, so hurry up, I might be able to get this on my girlfriend 'to get' list. Back to the music. There are a few absolute beasts in here. Also a few absolute kak records, but due to his flipping skills made slightly better, like 'Horse' by Salvatore Ganacci. I have actually thrown up when I saw his performances at Tomorrowland. The world's biggest joke, right? And he gets paid to be a clown? Should be in the circus, not at events where people pay good money to go ape themselves. Ah well. I mentioned before that M-Project had a few records in here, which are beasts. There are three I really like: 'Melodies Of Passion II', 'Language', but the credit, all the credit, goes to 'Midnight Daydream'. Loving the flip, love the original, love the vocals. Love everything about this record. Another wicked mix by Japanese's finest producer. A few extremely cool records, a lot of flips, and in general happy vibes. What more could you ask for?

I've been trying to typ this review for the last 12 hours, but it's just too damn hot. And I'm not talking about the mix (well, I am, but the weather is a pain in the ass). To cool my ass down, I had to go out and buy a small aircon unit. And it has done the trick: sitting here in London, listening to music from the magical year of 1998, and enjoying life. Would have been better if it was actually the year 1998, so we wouldn't have to worry about the internet, social media, etc, and just appreciate life, and especially the music. I'm always late to the party: this mix was released 7 months ago, and I've discovered it only a few days ago. Shame on me. I am a huge fan of 'History Of Happy Hardcore's page, and I've spotted many other mixes, but not this one. Anyway, let's focus on the music. Image the year being 1998. That's 21 years ago! Can you believe it? Aqua released 'Doctor Jones', Run-D.M.C. made us all want to dance on their 'It's Like That', people watched 'Sex In The City', Britney Spears came into our lives, cargo pants became a hit, and Happy Hardcore was still huge in the UK. Dying in the rest of Europe, but the British still kept it alive and kicking. You will know each and every tune, and then it hits you: these are 21 years old! We are living in 2019. Where the fuck has the time gone to? Anyway, time for music, so here's the tracklist: 01. Quest - Images Of You 02. Breeze - Let's Fly (Unique's Classic Mix) 03. Sub-Ace & Aura - My Dreams 04. Force & Styles - Follow Me 05. Jon Doe feat Lisa Abbott - Timebomb 06. DJ Force & The Evolution - Twelve Midnight (Bang! Remix) 07. 2 Without Heads - U & Me 'Hardcore Forever' (Scott Brown Mix) 08. DJ Storm - The Beating Of My Heart 09. DJ Fade - Freedom (Franctic Remix) 10. DJ Storm - Get Busier 11. Sy & Seduction - On The Road 12. DJ Demo - Muzik (DJ Ham Remix) 13. Bang! - Sailaway (Mellow Mix) 14. Sy & Demo - Devotion (Sy & Demo Remix) 15. Blitz & Blaze - Big Up The Bass 16. Identical - The Banger 17. Stompy & G-Netic - Starlight 18. Voodoo Posse feat Jocelyn Brown - Love Is (Fade & Bananaman Anthem Mix) 19. V.G.T. - #1A 20. Vinylgroover - Fairytales & Angels 21. Brisk & Trixxy - Goodbye Summertime 22. Monty & D'Skys - U Had It All Wow. This is pure Happy Hardcore. If this doesn't make you happy, nothing will. If you are having a bad day, and nothing can lift you up, don't you worry my son: History Of Happy Hardcore to the rescue! And their 7 month old mix! Let this assist you through the despair. It does work, trust me. The heat has not been kind to me, and when I listened to this bad boy, I became happy in an instant! I do love the happiness surrounding this mix. It's happy, and euphoric, and extremely uplifting. The UK were known for their Happy Hardcore music, and are still one of the countries trying to keep it alive. It was obviously massive in the Netherlands and the rest of Europe, but the UK took it upon themselves to adjust the sound slightly. And the result? Well, you are listening to it. Not a fan of the remixed versios of already classic anthems, like 'Love Is', and 'Fairytales & Angels'. I do prefer the original versions, and when I hear those distinctive sounds, I do immediately hear the original. Not a bad shout, but not a good one either. But which one is the best? Well, simple answer: Bang!'s big hit 'Sailaway'. This all time classic has been played at ravers for the last 21 years, and is still going strong. Happy to the bone, and the oh so familiar chords, you just cannot sit still when they come at you. All in all, this mix shows us all how diverse and good 1998 was. 21 years ago, I still can't believe it. Press play and absorb the music. Also, be quick: the Summer of 2019 might be ending next week, so enjoy the garden time, BBQ on and 'Class Of '98' on max!
