Vertical Drop - Hardstyle Classics Vol 1

19 Years to the day that the Scottish dance scene lost a legend in the name of Tom Wilson, Tom championed the sound of my teenage years which was oldskool, hardcore and everything in between.  I had known tom through attending events and deejaying at events alongside him as well and was pleased to call him a friend, he was always approachable and was the salt of this earth.

I have done a mix at the time of his passing in 2004, I had it saved somewhere but over the years I’ve managed to destroy many a hard drive so it’s long gone,  Thought it would be good to do a mix tonight instead of re-hashing something from years ago!

As expected, the mix is full of bouncy tunes.

Hope you guys enjoy x
