1st Science - Turbulent Journey (Hardcore Mix)

Col aka Col ;)

All my material was written and recorded on Renoise. No Hardware as A) I couldn't afford any and B) I probably wouldn't even know where to start.

My early stuff since 2014 was very ordinary as I didn't know what I was doing and was "feeling my way through". I still don't know how to properly arrange music according to music formalities & training, but I do my best to re-create the vibe and madness associated with 1990s style Hardcore/Rave, chiefly 1992/93 styles ;). I got better as I went along but I have ran out of room on my 'free account' and didn't financially have the "motivation" to pay and upgrade. 

I am looking into another way of providing a platform for my music though as there is a lot of it and and a lot of it hasn't been shared or released which is way better than my early stuff. IF and that's a big if....you wish to hear more or other stuff please feel free to drop me a line and I will do my best to oblige. Thank you for your support to date. 

Have a gud 'un!!

Hardcore Will Never Die!

I got into the rave scene by seeing the likes of The Prodigy, Altern 8, Bizarre Inc, Orbital and Moby on the TV in the early 90s. Regular visits to the local record shops. Ended up me buying some decks. Being under 18. I spent a lot of my early years mixing on illegal pirate radio stations called laser fm, storm, frequency, choice and kiss 100 Worcester (not exile radio). Playing all forms of hardcore music under the name DJ Trauma. When old enough. I started playing out in the clubs. I mainly could be found in the second room at mindgames, zig zag's doing the drum and bass. I also got a booking at an event called Wrekweim. Which was my first appearance at the legendary Sanctuary night club in Milton Keynes in November 1996. I joined a dj agency after that. Which had mixed results. But I did do a few gigs in mainland Europe. One of the best being in north Germany. The rave was in this graffiti interior house which had a massive cellar. This house and also a music studio in the same German city were funded by a millionaire. So that the young people had some where to hang out and enjoy music. Pretty cool. I noticed the free party rave scene in Oxfordshire had a revival back in the late 90's. So I got the chance to play all my favourite rave and hardcore tunes from the golden era. Playing in many different environments like warehouses, fields, farm barns, boats etc. Amazingly I was at the first Truck festival (which i think is still going even now). I enjoyed many hassle free nights out in Oxford at top old skool events like depth charge. Also the source, a wicked drum and bass night that always had the best dj's. Typically after a few years the scene went a little backwards there. In part to the main clubs like the Zodiac and all of Oxford's iconic records shops closing down. Not to fear. I started my bi-weekly residency at Baby Simple in Oxford for many years (2007 to 2012) I kept things moving on. Performed for many promotions through the 2000s in the Midlands such as nu breed, pure x, timeless and illusion. Also appeared at various festivals including Glade. I have organised and put on a few events. Generally in Oxford and Worcester. Easily the biggest one I done was the colossal custard festival. Which was at the custard factory Birmingham August bank holiday in 2008. An all nighter with four arena's of drum and bass, tech house, acid techno, breaks and classic rave from the early days. But due to work and other life commitments. I did one last dj gig at the Bully, Cowley Road Oxford, early 2016. Then I called it a day dj-ing out. Music is my passion and the main thing is there's still so much new and old music to discover. I am on Soundcloud everyday. Don't really have a favourite tune of all time. There's just too many. But even now I still play the classic Prodigy experience album way too much. I bet you lot play it pitched up on the Technics like myself. Much love to everyone following me on soundcloud and also knows me in person. I have met so many dj's, mc's and artists over the years. Personality wise. The one's in the scene that you probably would of heard of. That I got on well with or met at least once are : John B, Stu Allan [r.i.p], Billy "Daniel" Bunter, Dj Vibes, Andy & Simon Bassline Smith, Glen Aston, Bryan Gee, Mickey Finn, Blame, Dj Lee, The Invisible Man, Brillo, Jason & Paul (aka Total Science), Mouly (Massive Records), Chris Energy,  Jay Jay & Mark C, Tera, Tango [r.i.p], Dj Warlock, Beau (Intense), Rob Vanden, Remarc, Eksman, Dj Freak, Hazard and Dj Spice (Music First) Dego & Mark (4 Hero), Goldie, DJ Ron, Keith Suckling, Shock C, Pete Parsons (Voyager) and even house dj Tall Paul Newman. Been lots of others I ain't been impressed with. Better not say who as i'll end up in trouble. Anyway massive respect to all rave goers and everyone making brand new old skool hardcore style tunes on the cloud. Loving your work. Respect due to all the internet radio stations for keeping the pirate vibe alive. I personally love jungletrain.net with the likes of Pete Devnull & Tim Reaper, Equinox, Djinn, Code, Greenleaf, Rumbleton, Josh Hill, Arnicvs, Krugah, Paludal & Jaja. Whats not to love. My soundcloud page is dedicated to the memory of my old pal Chris Savage aka Mr Sav. Who sadly pasted away January 2014. You may still find some of his classic jungle tekno and gramophone record shows here on soundcloud. So check them out.

Welcome to my SoundCloud world! I'm deeply devoted to Electronic music specified in Oldskool and Nuskool Hardcore, Breaks, and Jungle, guided by the 'PLUR' ethos and the early 90s rave spirit. Influenced by Eurodance, Breakbeat, Hip Hop, and Hard Trance, with a heartfelt admiration for The Prodigy, my aim is to inspire and invigorate the rave generation.

In my 90s era, a Walkman opened doors to diverse sounds, later fueling my passion for radio production with the birth of Generation X [RadioShow]. Proudly nominated for 'Best Radio Show' at the International Breakspoll Awards 2014 as one of five nominees, I've hosted through the show luminaries like Leeroy Thornhill, Mark Archer, Black Box, Dream Frequency, Liquid, Marusha, Coco Bryce and more.

You are invited to join the ride then for some glowing electrifying music including special interviews, guest mixes, and musical tributes.

Beyond the airwaves, I drive the Strictly Nuskool Blog and contribute to publications like: Iconic Underground Magazine, The Wub Mag, and The Prodigy Fanboy (known for the Prodigy Fanboy Podcasts).

Let's connect through the beats that define our culture and speak to our inner space.
