With well over 30 years of mixing experience; this genre of mix means the most to me as it includes many tracks from my first few crates of vinyl. During the latter half of 1993 in the UK there was a distinctive split in rave scene where many of the top jocks began playing more darker, sinister tracks after a good few years of more uplifting vibes. Included are typically what you could have expected to hear from the likes of Top Buzz, Grooverider and Ratty. Have included some more recent productions.

This is my hardcore mix. There are many like it but this one is mine!

Oldskool Hardcore Rave (10/10) - 12-03-22 (The Darkside)

Music is my life I’m a die hard fan of Techno and a true believer of the Rave 🕉 movement.

I’m here to make friends and enjoy the masterpieces of the artists 👨🏻‍🎨

If you're feeling these mixes with full track lists primarily focused on the 90's U.K dance music scene feel free to follow and share!

The idea behind my page is to log and showcase the music that has influenced me over the last 35+ years so that my daughter, Ebony, can listen to ‘olden day’ music and hopefully appreciate how good we had it. 

Having learnt my craft in the late 80’s at the age of 12 and teaching myself how to beat match on 1200’s within a week, I felt I had a knack for this DJ’ing thing way before it became fashionable. I would class myself as quite a versatile DJ able to lend my hand to most genres. Hopefully all those years of bedroom mixing and house parties have paid off…but that’s up to you to decide. 

I attempt to capture a constant energy in my mixes regardless of genre and am always a firm believer that the mix is as important as the track itself. I endeavour to create seamless transitions whilst maintaining the energy. During longer mixes a welcome switch in style is sometimes required. In fact different genres warrant different styles of mixing, in my opinion. And monotonous sets do nothing for me. Up and down, peaks and troughs, it’s all about building the listener up and letting them down gently.

Never one to choose tracks based on their popularity or current chart position, I hand pick the tunes I mix because I think they’ll stand the test of time. The idea being that during any of my sets I can pick a point and know I’ll dig that track or mix. Although digitally digging isn’t as rewarding as finding physical vinyl records for me, it is a whole lot easier. That said there are a lot of below par tunes out there to sift through before finding worthy tracks. Then the set process begins…I just approach it as a musical jigsaw.

Anyway, enough about me. Whether you’re getting ready to go out for the night, cleaning the kitchen or in the car, turn it up, get in the groove and I hope you enjoy the vibes  😎

Born in Konya in 1974. Acid house, 1987, was his first step into electronic music. He played at various local radio stations and parties between 1994-2005. Currently he does not actively play as a dj but he is a devoted follower of electronic music. He likes to play and listen to techno, dark techno,hard techno, drum&bass, jungle, drumfunk, hardstyle, gabber, speedcore, breakcore etc..

Co-Abhängigkeit in Deutschland - DJs im Brennpunkt: Nadeln auf der Platte

Hustlers of the world, there is one mark you cannot beat: the mark inside

Burn down the world and use yourself as a match when nobody is looking alone in a room filled with strobes and night and fog and strangers. 

The object of this game is to dare to fall with a noose around your neck from a place sufficiently high enough off the ground, such that the fall will hang you. The object of the game is to punish those who have caused great unhappiness by their selfish actions. This is the best game of all, because the winner is also the loser, and the judge's decision is always final.

TheCrazyDutchman: a complete idiot who loves music, and writes reviews. That's who I am. That's what I do. 
If you haven't been browsing online yet, and the world wide web is new to you, let me warn you: there's only one website you need to visit: 
www.thecrazydutchmansblog.co.uk
As I said, I write reviews, but also do artist interviews (artists like Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz, M@rt!n-J, DJ Drokz, Mark Archer, DJ Thumpa, CasketKrusher,  DJ Sc@r, Penta, Perrelli & Mankoff, , Macks Wolf, Finnbarr, Smurf and the list goes on).
On my website there are more free mixes, wicked livesets and CDs. 
If you are a DJ and you want mixes to be reviewed, you can send a private message on here, or on my Facebook page.

Have been a long time follower of many forms of electronic music ranging from ambient drone to freaked out Warp/Rephlex techno. I have a special fondness for all things breakbeat based - oldskool hardcore, jungle, drum & bass, hardcore breaks. I have been an avid vinyl/CD collector of these genres for many years, despite being utter rubbish at mixing.

As of February 2014, I made the leap from listener to producer after a good bit of prompting from Leonized (https://soundcloud.com/leonized) to pull the finger out and give music making a bash. I have been heavily inspired by artists from the 1993-1994 darkcore jungle-hardcore period. Especially the likes of Ray Keith, Bizzy B, DJ SS, Nebula II, Jungle Buddah, Chaos & Julia Set, and DJ Mayhem. I'm still at the very early stages of stringing samples together to re-create that oldskool hardcore/jungle sound, but am looking to get better at each track I knock up. :D

Any advice and comments are most welcome, and if you enjoy my tunes, then I've done something right! :)

I also help out with reviews at the Strictly NuSkool Blog under my Breakbeatscientist username.
