Cool Part! I dig the "Record stop" edits & dirty ''Chord Hits" !

dope, love this old hardcore stuff! thx for sharing

Mate i'm really enjoying your tracks! amazing story about this one, defo going to give it a spin this weekend!

Back in 2001, every Saturday night, myself and a good friend DJ Virus (https://soundcloud.com/adamdjvirus), used to fool in the studio I had in my moms basement.  This was a hardware based studio back in the day and all this was done while we ate our traditional spicy spaghetti!  Think spaghetti with a whole bag of chili powder added into the sauce!  Damn that was hot stuff!!

At the time this track was finished, Luna-C of Kniteforce was asking for track submissions, for a possible release on the label, which was going to focus on the older sounds, once again.  This track, along with 2 others, was recorded onto tape and mailed out to Lunca-C for evaluation.  I never did think anything would come of it, but Chris did email me telling me he appreciated my submission, did give a full listen to all my tracks and said he really liked what he heard, however, the sound was 'too old' in terms of what he was looking for.  He said if these were given to him back in the day, he certainly would have passed them off to Seduction for evalution for his Impact label.  This was great to hear, as Seduction and the Impact label was among my favourites, for the 92 sound!

Needless to say, this stuff got shelved after this and nothing was ever done with it.  I have come across the DAT and ripped it, so am putting it up here, presented in all its rough around the edges glory!  No mastering was done at all and this was mixed from the outputs of my sampler, directly through my Mackie desk I had at the time.

Kit used:

Cubase VST 5.0
Sonic Foundry Sound Forge 5
E-MU E5000 sampler, fully loaded
Lexicon MPX100 effects unit
Alesis 3630 compressor
Mackie CR1604 VLZ Mixer
Tannoy Active Reveals
Echo Audio Layla20
Fostex D5 DAT recorder

A little piece of my history I was glad to find!  I no longer have the original arrangement, or samples, so this is as pure as it gets, as it is the only copy I have left!

There isn't much to this track I know, but hopefully someone out there can get some enjoyment from it!  Thanks for listening and of course, all comments are welcome, not that I could do much to change anything, with the track being 13 years old and forever lost!   ;)
