Blade Techno Rave (Monkey Music 2021) *2ND UPLOAD ACCIDENTALLY UPLOADED JUDG E JULES ESSENTIAL MIX BEFORE, WILL UPLOAD THAT NEXT, APOLOGIES!!*
One of several bangin' mixes I've come across recently on small or unknown labels, some just sets from independant DJ's. I don't think these have anything to do with the Blade movie but it's still a pretty cool cover. Also the tunes vary from Acid Techno, Hard House, to Tech Trance & hard trance, not just techno...but I won't hold that against them on account of it kicking ass!
Tracklist: Cali Martini - Bad Passion Julien Earle - T4T9 Claas Herrmann - Raskolnikow Lister - Colombia Henning Foster - AVERNO Florian Binaural, Windeskind - Isolation (Seimen Dexter Remix) Procopis Gkouklias, Steve Sai - Error Signal George Makrakis - Blood Bath Akkon - Bad Boy (Dennis Bauer Remix) Boris Brejcha - Angel in the Sky (Sascha Audit Bootleg) Cali Martini - Reflections David Temessi - Dirty People (Roentgen Limiter Remix) Devid Dega - Zero Theorem (Marrie Remix) Celec - Rhytm Of Eternity Gianluca Zeta - On Rave (Steve Soprani, Dandi & Ugo Remix) H! Dude - Hey DJ HAMMERSCHMIDT - Deathwatch (Kai Pattenberg Remix) Celec - The Age Of Techno Mzperx - Wanna (Marco Ginelli Remix) Tim Wermacht - I'm Not Losing (David Temessi Remix)
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
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 deep acidic funky epic house from Josh Wink, going by his *Winc* pseudonym.
All 3 versions are ear candy, but the hypnotic euphoria of the "Yellow Pumpkin remix" wins hands down (track 1 on this 1996 re-release on orange).
Thoughts of a Tranced Love :
1.Yellow Pumpkin remix
2. Original mix
3. Black Lettuce Remix
And finally mix three of the Best of Network 23 compilation, mixed by DJ Taj aka Crystal Distortion (which reminds me I've got a live recorded, mid 90's Crystal Distortion coming next). Once again, crazy bangin' and not for the squeamish....

Live @ Technodrome, Ayrshire, Scotland 5th Oct 1991. Some great live footage of the event, stunning strobes & laser FX, fairground, hi-,tech sound syatem...but most of all the electril atmoaphere from this stunning mental crowd.I tried to capture a shot of Saffron but managed to get sinister half-srobe silhouetes or light glare so a grabbed a shot of the crowd... Fantastic performance again, and the full version of "NJoi Encore" @ 00:41:01
The Tidy Boys along with L.Lashes, Anne Savage, were my favourite DJs in the early 2000's as well as Kevin Energy, Simon Posford, Sasha, Merv Peppler & Sharkey for their individual styles in their fields.
DJ Hype; Grooverider, and Adam Freeland for breakz. Trance was still kicking but had peaked & was ready to go back underground where big things were happening in psytrance and progressive. Hard House was about to evolve into a 3rd wave NRG, aside from developing deep filtered techno undertones, killer acid lines, pulsing quaking thunderous bassline, tuned kickdrums (That evolution would be "hard dance", which had 2 golden years then imploded...through being torn too many directions and collabs that didnt work or made Frankenstein Tunes (monstr-house-shitty lol).
THE REAL GOLDEN AGE OF post millennium hard House was the early-mid, the 2K00's. It was hard as nails, varied, had plenty of look-back-to-look foward tunes, ingenius stylish anthems, cleverly used samples, a hard house grittier but melodic take on big trance; seeing a return to form from JX with "Restless", & the Tidy Boys remix of Lisa Lashes's atomic banger "What Can You Do For Me " is probably the best remix of all! 1995-2004 was the golden age, it didn't try to be anything else, didn't need to & was great. 2003 was the peak, and this awesome double mix compilation is a fine example of the mini era of Hard House greatness pre-Hard Dance....One of my favourite and prize posessions:

Second upload--Scratch that....THIRD upload, since I swapped the original for a "Personally Remastered" version, using one of the links from one @Jeff_Rush:0 (who has too much faith in me bless him ?)Let's just say, that the "MASTER" in "re-master" belongs more in "master-bates" than "re-master-ed" (although the autistic screech I gave at the awful quality of it definitely sounded like "RE-", as in *"REEEEEEEEE!"*). So technically this is just the original upload, which sounds great anyway, I just wanted the trippy FX to have a more 9D surround sound vibe....But rest assured this is for the best. ?
