Another little trip down memory lane & this one is an emotional one ! ❤️

Around 10 years ago now myself and Mc Skyz formed one of the best MC & DJ combo's in hardcore, the way we worked together was just impeccable. We created a mix series called - The Core Sessions, during those 10 years + raves.

Here is one of the many sets that we have created ! 

Enjoy ! BIG UP THE CSC !
