Mr Ripley - I Love Happy Hardcore & One Big Bash NYE '18-'19 Promo Mix

* Thank you for all your shares & re-posts! *

Let's take another trip together!

DJ'ing is a lot more than just playing music - it's a performing art where you're the storyteller. You take your audience on a journey into the narrative with you, with the music you play and the way you play it. It's really powerful - the more energy you put into it, the more the crowd generates - and it can be phenomenal :)

1. Robbie Seed & Andrew Rayel ft. That Girl - Stars Collide
2. Bryan Kearney - From The Inside
3. Photographer & Alexander Spark - Spectrum
4. Aldo Henrycho - Caravan
5. Christian Burns & Roman Messer - Dancing In The Dark (Alex M.O.R.P.H. Remix)
6. Double Motion - Speed Of Life
7. David Elder - Crisis
8. Shugz - La Bomba
9. Victor Special - Just Aim To Fly
10. Adam Morris, Kiyoi & Eky - Sense (Cris Grey Remix)
11. Grande Piano - Stay With Me (Norex & Adwell Remix)
12. Peter Miethig - Magic Lights

Music takes us on so many different journeys, and for many of us it's the spiritual guide that travels with us throughout our lives.

Mr Ripley - Dance Journeys Part Two - fresh, upfront Trance!

Dug out from the archives for the first time in years, this mix is a real blast from the past! One of the first demos I ever gave out in 2004, this was mixed on 2x Citronic PD1 turntables with a Citronic Pro-8 mixer - they were direct drive but the motor wasn't the strongest so you had to give the records a good push off to get them started!

Listening through reminded me why I fell in love with DJ'ing Hardcore, and the tracklist is a lot more progressive than I remembered it! The tracks were longer back then which meant for longer mixes and sets really going on a journey! I even threw in some Hard Dance played on the wrong speed ;)

Tracklist:

1. Dok & Ponder - Faces Of Angels (CLSM Remix) - [Elation]
2. GEOS - Easy Inside (Original Mix) - [Remix Reloaded]
3. Stargazer - Released (CLSM Remix) - [Elation]
4. Uplift, Cris E Manic & Lukozade - AWOL - [Raw Elements]
5. Uplift & Stargazer vs Cloudskipper & Reese - Altered State [Raw Elements]
6. Brisk & Ham - Gettin' Down - [Next Generation]
7. VAGABOND - Comin' Closer - [Blatant Beats]
8. Soundscape - Someday Soon - [FBI]
9. Storm & Euphony - Disappear [Raver Baby]
10. Impact - Beyond The Beat - [FBI]
11. Euphoria - Future Is Now - [Blatant Beats]
12. Rob Tissera & Nathan D'Amour - Bring The Lights Down - [Y2K]
13. Eclipse - 24/7 (Original Mix) - [Next Generation]

Mr Ripley // Happy Hardcore / Rave 🌍

Rave DJ, animal lover, champion brew maker, as seen on TV! 🫠

From the early days of "Collosseum" and "Judgement Day" tapes being passed around the classroom at school, to hitting dancefloors in the midst of the UK Hardcore boom in the early noughties, learning his trade as a DJ on a set of Citronics turntables and experimenting with his first productions... Mr Ripley is now a performing artist around the world, with 2 albums and a string of releases to his name.

With an understanding of the community foundations that rave culture is built upon, Dave established "Stomp!" in Leeds as one of the UK's favourite underground Hardcore parties - bringing some of the biggest names in rave music to the city and showcasing some of the best fresh talent - creating an inclusive, feelgood vibe that ravers took back into their lives.

Now embracing the open-minded, anything-goes, multi-genre ethos that's sweeping the UK, Mr Ripley's talent is connecting with dancefloors and living those blissful raving moments with partygoers - every stomp of the way!
