Fruity 6 @ Hirnschmelze (Stellwerk Hamburg; 18.10.25)

When I got into this scene in late 2011/early 2012 for me the road I took was Early Hardcore almost from the start... It had more interesting sounds, better samples and variation in energy. Atleast from what my perspective of it was compared to the then mainstream & millenium sound.

I quickly looked up CDs for those specific less played / used or just CD only traxx. But after awhile I wanted more. I heard some traxx of S37 & Sonic Overkill. They combined what I loved about metal/punk (where I came from originally...) into a more intense sound. I've got to know this as Early Terror (as we called it in NL) and then I started to focus more and more on such sounds. 

People like Miss Zelda, Frantic Freak (yes, really), Xearo, Soulkeeper, Rienos, Flowcreatorz (also individually as B-Shock & Freaky Flow), Da Machinery & Toxic Den made me discover alot of this when I started my musical journey. And made me make sure to look deeper than others would do... This mix is dedicated to them!

Eventually I would also start to look past the 1990s period for good hardcore. But most had a strong resemblance to this Early Terror sound. And went deeper and deeper. Yet I still always had a soft spot for the normal Early Hardcore (92-99ish period). So for a long time I told myself I would do a retrospective mix. 

In this mix are traxx that defined my taste and filled my need to look deeper as the generic ID&T style "hitjes" compilations... These traxx are still as good as they were 10+ years ago for me. 

So enjoy this 50/50 mix which honours the roots of myself (& perhaps... others?) 47min. of early hardcore and 47min. of early terror... Only from the period 1992-1999, no bullshit.

These days most aren't that unknown but hey... Who cares. I bet some of you will hear new traxx anyway. Expect some mistakes too! :)

So.... Remember,
Respect where you come from... As it will come full circle one day!

Going from 180 to 260 BPM.
