DJ Crossfader - Studio Mix - Autumn 1992

I'm a fiend for piano rave and old skool.

OMG Breaks!

"Breakbeat in springtime!" 

"Happy Hardcore!" 

"You dream of heaven, now create what you like and have fun, whoa-oh" 

I was into grunge from '92  - '99, though if I could go back in time I'd enjoy breakbeat rave and piano hardcore and probably would have been a part of that scene.

"Feel the panic / got to have it!" 

----- 

I like listening to *skool, breaks, Drum and Bass, Jungle, Future Jungle tunes. I didn't start liking this genre until I heard it on the Amiga! I never owned one of those computers, as my parents bought me a PC instead, but I downloaded my first MOD from America Online filesearch back in 1994 and I really enjoyed the juxtaposition of 4-channel simplicity yet still complex beats. I didn't re-discover the genre until 2008 when I found mazemod.org and listened to chiptunes. Also fond of Reggaeton (the synth). Things really took off when I discovered Mono netlabel and listened to H0ffman's "Mono: A Retrospective in 4 channels". Mortimer Twang, Substance, "ISO - We're Here" . Great stuff! 

I like this kind of music because it brings me back to the days when I was a kid in the summer playing video games on those hot summer nights. I'd come across a screen with music I liked and would just leave it there playing on loop. Front Mission 3  / Ace Combat 3 comes to mind. I like this genre because it reminds me of futuristic things.

Col aka Col ;)

All my material was written and recorded on Renoise. No Hardware as A) I couldn't afford any and B) I probably wouldn't even know where to start.

My early stuff since 2014 was very ordinary as I didn't know what I was doing and was "feeling my way through". I still don't know how to properly arrange music according to music formalities & training, but I do my best to re-create the vibe and madness associated with 1990s style Hardcore/Rave, chiefly 1992/93 styles ;). I got better as I went along but I have ran out of room on my 'free account' and didn't financially have the "motivation" to pay and upgrade. 

I am looking into another way of providing a platform for my music though as there is a lot of it and and a lot of it hasn't been shared or released which is way better than my early stuff. IF and that's a big if....you wish to hear more or other stuff please feel free to drop me a line and I will do my best to oblige. Thank you for your support to date. 

Have a gud 'un!!

Back in the early 90s was a West London bedroom raver, now nostalgically wheeling and come-againing on SoundCloud. Has eclectic tastes; loving everything from Autechre to Ustvolskaya, Messiaens' organ works to Qawwali song.
