old skool

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)

My set at The O2 Arena alongside The Prodigy, Rudimental, Jaguar Skill and Modestep. I played 1.30-2.30 straight after The Prodigy in the main arena to finish the night off with an hour of classic 90s Old Skool Rave.

The arena was amazing, the whole night was an incredible experience and from what I could make out everyone was having the time of their lives.

Hope you enjoy!

Here's a mix I did back in 1991 around the time we were doing small events at the Raindance Clubhouse in Jenkins Lane, the recording is OK, not the best as it's from cassette but I've managed to brighten it up a bit. I have a feeling this may have been edited slightly at some point but for me it's one of my favourites. Hope you enjoy... please download and share :)
