The Relic's "Total Recall" Megamix
[The Beginning - Part 2]

Taking a break from his vocation of forging the industrial hardcore sound, The Relic made a very unique mix with (almost) all of his favorite dance tracks from the late 80s and early 90s, a time when genres and styles were not 

fragmented like today, when it was all just house music. "Total Recall" is a more than adequate title for a number of huge mixes, also paying homage to the 1990 sci-fi/fantasy classic.

This is Part 2 of 'The Beginning', the second part of what will add up to a huge acid, new beat, hip house and oldschool megamix of no less than six hours and stand as the prequel to the already infamous „Second Stage“ mix which 

assembled the entirety of early hardcore classics.

The Relic's "Total Recall" Megamix [The Beginning - Part 2]

Industrial hardcore has been one of the most consistent styles that hardcore has spawned, going strong since the turn of the millennia. The same goes for The Relic, moniker of Dutch producer Maurice Pinkster, who has been a steady contributor, and a key player of the scene since its humble beginnings. 

After starting as a producer in 1994, initially releasing on various labels, he found his first home on FIX Records and Neophyte’s Symp.tom, where he released a string of influential 12”es. After Symp.tom went defunct, he created his own label Dark.Descent. in order to be able to develop The Relic – and his various other projects like Zanthrax, Dual Mechanism, Hidden Rooms (dark acid techno) and of course Cubic Nomad (from hard rhythmic IDM to serene ambience) with complete artistic freedom. 

Pushing dark and industrial hardcore and techno forward, Dark.Descent has also released prolific artists like Embrionyc, Dep Affect, Sei2ure, Sound Abuse, Starving Insect and many more; The Relic has cooperated with artists such as Dep Affect, Moleculez, Innovative, Sidephex, Mute. and remixed the likes of Neophyte, Human Resource, Mono No Aware, Sacerdos Vigilia, Traffik, Embrionyc, Somatic Responses, ▲NGST or X-Core. 

The Relic now looks back at a triptych of bunker-themed full-length albums, all pinnacles of his extra-dark, trademark sound that has brought him wide recognition across genre borders. His reputation as a DJ is also more than rock solid, and many of his killer mixes can be found online or via the infamous “Ben Harder Show” which he co-founded.
