Haha, well you never know mate. Bloody thing weighs a tonne. Thanks for listening - I've done some more recent mixes from this era if you wanna check em out. 😁
@retrovoltarcade love this analogy lol. Same for me. I was too young but mad for the tapes!. Who was your favourite DJ in this era? I was crazy into Easygroove.
Thanks mate...although a few were pretty sketchy. I am extremely grateful to you for allowing me to finally I.d. some tunes off the old tapes, which I've now bought....eg Fugitive, Mine, The Touch on Ram. Thanks mate.
Mickey ...mate can you help me to I.d. a tune? If you reply I'll know you've heard me and I'll point out where it can be found on tube. Hope you can help!!!
@mickeybeam ah great, thanks for coming back to me mate. Right, so on a Grooverider/Fabio set from Dreamscape 93 NYE, it's the tune at 1hr 24mins with the 'oooooh heaven' vocal. Any ideas? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2UJYwTZ_4D4.htmlsi=oxO3t_9IVY57Myhe
Great mix, every tune is a hardcore classic.. The mix between dark and light around this time for me, was the most interesting throughout dance music... Its a pity it faded away and prigressed to other music..
So honestly, Ruff by D Force is one of those tracks that reminds me of looking through a cloud of dry ice and Lazer lights only to see my feet going bat sh$t insane beneath me as I glide across the dance floor 😂
@@The_Knackered_Raver I spent my best years in the UK from age 11 to 30 something. Was raving from 14 years old 🤣 - Lazerdrome, Orange, Astoria, Liberty, Bagley's, Labyrinth, you name it! Here we had Hip Hop RnB Reggae and Dancehall but no Jumping Jack Frost or DJ Ron - I need to come back and do one of those Renaissance events!
Everyone who grew up liking any kind of EDM in the digital age needs to watch this to see the true magic of a DJ on vinyl - pure gold! And Ollie D, if this is this out of your comfort zone, I hope you continue to be uncomfortable! 🥳🔥🙌
Andy- mate! What a lovely comment to read on a gloomy morning. Really appreciate the kind message. Yeah so a couple of the mixes slipped and it got to me a bit at the time. Be sure to check out my other hardcore mix, which was slightly more planned lol and tighter IMO. For some reason RU-vid algorithm hasn't given it much attention! Thanks again mate. Feeling motivated to do another!
Solid mix. Bang on tunes for the time. All huge. I just had to buy that yellow repress of The Touch and Slipmatt - Breaking Free. And yes, big ups to Jake over at @rave-vinyl-reminiscence and @MickyBeam. Great channels, keeping it alive!
Thanks mate. Yeah I've got a whole stash of DnB 96 to 02 but a very limited stash of the very best era (imo) of 1993, which is when I was all about the tape packs lol. I managed to pick up The Touch just last week actually. Good to have that. Thanks for tuning in and hope the mixing wasn't too rogue lol.
I actually have to check what is old school rave. To me, it decently sounds more like jungle/dnb/"tracker" music because of the same drums sample. But this are good mixes.
Thanks for listening. This is hardcore rave. It kind of peaked at this point (1993) before splitting into different genres...the darker jungle (which evolved into DnB) and happy hardcore (which turned very silly and over the top IMO).
I didn't do long on here commenting on first couple of tracks before the battery died: then I had to start again here recharged, and in the end i focused on the entire mix rather than just the knite force element. Fucking lovely mix. This truly was ace! Enjoyed listening and dancing around my kitchen making big batch of food, seemed quick after vibing on this mix! Great gob! Subbed and ready for more 🤗🤗🤗
@RaverOperatorGeeza ah thanks mate appreciated!! Love this era right?! Thanks for the sub...this mix was my first hardcore one, done back in March. I've done a few ..even put out a mix only 48 hrs ago if you wanna check that out!!! 😀
@@The_Knackered_Raver thank you mate, not necessary but appreciated! If you do check anything out on there you'll must likely enjoy Rinse It Out 'Ardcore 3.3 version and Rave Culture
By the way I saw in your Basement vid you've got the New Direction '93 tune. I'd give my left arm for that. I'd need the right one still for putting the tune on obvs.
1:06:47 O Yes…. 🙌 What a banger!!! Reminding us of them days long gone.. Now just a gray rusty old mana 😅 But it got me up n moving, don’t ya worry!! Coz with tunes n set comin out like this my friend.. I ain’t going no where in a hurry!! 😜
Yeah what a lovely tune. Happy and dark! It's called Fugitive on Underdog Records. This is one of the tunes I've picked up relatively recently and, like you say, I owe a lot to Jake and Micky Beam for helping to FINALLY I.d some of these tunes. Thanks again for listening and pls subscribe if not already as more to come lol
