A tribute to Bruno Power x Ivan Carsten

Silvio Aquila present a tribute to Frank Pechler & Marcel van der Zwan aka Deepack
(This is part 1 of 3)

In 2000 they combined forces together with Charly Lownoise and the three of them started producing under the name “Deepack”, but because of his own career which consumed a lot of time, Marcel & Frank continued with the project later on their own.

Marcel and Frank both have different musical backgrounds, played in several bands but also shared a huge interest in electronic music. With that in mind, they decided and liked to experiment with different music genres and started producing together after they met each other in high school in the early 90′s.

Tracklist;
01 - Carambola - Blue horizons (Deepack rmx)			
02 - Deepack - Drop out!			
03 - Deepack - 100%			
04 - Deepack - Zero crossing			
05 - Deepack vs Showtek - Rockin' steady			
06 - D-Block vs Tha Bazz Pimpz - Freak on it!			
07 - Deepack vs Showtek - Like the bass			
08 - Out of Grace -  140BPM (Deepack rmx)			
09 - D-Block vs Tha Bazz Pimpz - Rock diz joint			
10 - Duco vs Tha Bazz Pimpz - Make noise			
11 - Deepack - The Prophecy			
12 - Duco vs Tha Bazz Pimpz - Shake it			
13 - Brooklyn Bounce - We want more X2X (Deepack rmx)			
14 - DHHD - Funky shit (Deepack rmx)			
15 - Deepack vs MC Ruffian - Who's got the beatz			
16 - DJ Act - The sound of the bass (Deepack rmx)			
17 - Deepack - Here's Johnny			
18 - Deepack vs Luna - Kick this mutha			
19 - Deepack - Down low			
20 - Deepack vs Luna - Stomper

SAIFAM speciale - edizione 2007 (11.08.2017)

Finally finished a new mix! It took a lot of time to get it right, but it worked out in the end IMO! 

Analogic Disturbance is an alias from the Italian masters Davide Sonar and Julian DJ. These guys made so many bangers back in the days! People who follow me probably know I'm still a big fan of Davide!

A short note: I left out some tracks like Hunting 1 (still partly present in the Lunateck track), Trashin' Madness remix (just couldn't fit it in) and maybe some other Limpar tracks (too trancy). Hope you won't mind! ;)

I hope you enjoy this mix!

Italian Masters of Hardstyle VOL.3 - ANALOGIC DISTURBANCE (26.01.2018)

A new showcase is finished! It's my 'ultimate' take on the early works of Brennan Heart. Right after he split from Heart, nowadays better known as Thera (notice the anagram?). It also marks the time when he started the Scantraxx sublabel M!D!FY.

The tracks in there are from the era about 2005 to 2008. So most of them are more early than 'classic'. Though you do hear the first triplet rhythms/melodies appear. I tried to steer away from them as much as possible.

Enough talk, please enjoy this hour of banging tracks!

Tracklisting:
01- Unknown Analoq - Blackout (Brennan Heart Re-Edit)
02- Brennan Heart - Faith In Your DJ
03- The Prophet vs Brennan Heart - Payback
04- Blademasterz - Audiocare
05- Dark Oscillators - Nasty Jungle (Brennan Heart Remix)
06- Blademasterz - One Blade
07- Brennan Heart - Pitchin'
08- The Prophet vs Brennan Heart - Attakk
09- Brennan Heart - Revival X (Showtek Remix)
10- Blademasterz - Masterblade
11- Philippe Rochard - Air Drum (Blade Masterz Rework)
12- Brennan Heart - Evolut!on Of Style (Part 1)
13- Unknown Analoq - MFG! (Motherfuckers Go)
14- The Horrorist - Flesh is the Fever (Brennan Heart Remix)

P.S.: Noticed I got 550 followers! Awesome and welcome!

ultimate BRENNAN HEART showcase (2005-2008) (23.10.2020)

EARLY HARDSTYLE fanatic! 

If you want to book me or want me to do a guest mix or whatever, DM me please!

MY definitions:
<2000-2006 = EARLY hardstyle
2006-2011 = CLASSIC hardstyle

I'm building an archive of all my favorite tracks. Especially honoring and showcasing the forgotten gems produced by my favorite artists!

BIO:
I started listening to hard dance music in 1999, at the age of 12, the year I went to high school. My taste was pretty random in those early days. But soon the Bitte Ein Beat series would change all that. After purchasing vol.2 and listening it over and over, I knew I had found a new passion in life!

Back then, the term hardstyle wasn't even conceived. We called it hardhouse at first, but that actually never felt right. Luckily someone, somewhere, came up with the name for this new sound: HARDSTYLE! And it felt right immediately.
