Reactivate 12 is arguably the best of the series. Blu Peter's mixing is superb, the track selection showing off the many flavours of Nu NRG. A no messing tracklist of in face slammers. Standout tunes: Shimmon & Woolfson - "Evil Queen", De Donatis - "the Sound", Transa euphoric mesmerizing "Prophase", and Nuclear Hyde's furious "Axis.
Mark Skelton (no relation to Les...so they claim haha!) a more technical DJ. I'm officially on a bittersweet Niche Nostalgia-fest...And it's led me to this gem of a tune I've been searching for at about 48:00 I only heard it 3 times in my life 1996-2000, whenever I asked it was "IGA feeling" or more informatively "White label" by "Unknown". I apologize for the sound quality in the others, this ain't bad & the Danny Walker mix sounds great .
Classic anthem by Bruno Sanchioni, ⅓ of B.B.E ("7 Days and 1 Week"... which you can very easily tell if you play the 2 back2back)& Giuseppe Chierchia, a guy better known for that much sampled disco tune (the one in "Getting Jiggy With it" and "Don't call me Baby"... Ring a bell? Don't ask how I know that ... just... don't ok? ???).
Classed as *"the first trance tune ever made",* which it pretty much is, from way back in 1990. It sounded great then; great in 1992 when Jam & Spoon 's "Watch out for Stella" remix updated for the millions of new ravers (which I included because many ravers aren't aware that's not the original version), it's been great all the times it's been remixed, whether the old skool or the new versions (the only thing out of sync is the description of THIS Particular "age".
More "the age that needs love".
tracks:
Age of Love
1. Jam & Spoon Watch Out For Stella Mix
2. Sign of the Times remix.
3. OPM remix
4. Boeng remix
One of the most proficient teams of the Rave scene, frequently scoring on the floor with euphoric peak-time anthems... Urban Hype, who are (sadly) most remembered for '92 Top 40 hit "Trip To Trumpton" ( a horrific bastardization of their earlier underground rave anthem "Feel the Heat"), after which they vanished. I'm willing to forgive that however, based on their 1990-93 catalogue of tunes and remixes, which I'm gonna upload the hilights of today.
This early '91 track has great production for it's time, and flashes back to that micro era where house music had tech/hardcore overtones, before the levee broke & Rave came rushing out!
Urban Hype. Feat Neat Lee:
1. Sycopath Rapp
2. Industrial Evolution (Docklands Remix)
3. Sycopath (Roger Johnson Remix)
Ok I'm putting the "representing labels" thing on hold. While hunting for some Ektoplazm/Cybernetika/Xenofish style psybreak, and psychedelic drum n bass, I've come across so WICKED, D'N'B, psybreakz, Neurofunk, tech step, Dark Core,, Acid Tech Breaks.
First up check out Black Sun Empire, I've got a tonne of their unique D&B to share, so on we go...
