bangin mix. cheers.
- 12:54 a.m. 11-28-22 - dl'ed this getting off the T-day festive. Man, I luv'ed it! Deffo represented the Happy Hardcore era with high energy, classic house piano, and fast percussion tempo. The standard d&b patterns and acid house elements came in after the first hour. You only get a bit of the balanced vocal samples that vets would recognize, the BEATS carry it.
- The history of this genre per DJ-Shaun's set notes are spot on. Indeed..hearing this felt like walking into a UK venue during that 1992-1995 era. (1 hr 57 mins - Nostalgia Gold!)
Thanks for the great comment! Glad you enjoyed the set. :)
