as a dutchman, grown up in the hardcore/gabber/rave scene of the '90s, i can sincerely say: KILL THE DAMN MC!

I'm with the Dutch guy - I never met an MC yet that I had a use for ('cept Keyes when he's working with Ben X-Treme, of course). They're parasites getting a free ride on the back of the talent. "Spittin' it"? More like "shittin' it"

A mix I've been meaning to do for YEARS! 

My tribute to (I think) the 2nd rave I ever went to back in 1998, as a 16 year old white kid I was absolutely terrified being inside Starlight 2001 in Leicester with all the shady characters, guns, drugs and people getting robbed but the music was amazing. The DJs always played a bit harder and the resident MCs always went in with their lyrics too; legends like Hyper D, Trigga, Bassman and Spyda would control the crowd whilst DJs like Randall, Sappo, APB & DJ SS rolled out the beats. There was no rave like Hysteria, moody, dark and the best tunes.

Here's my 2 hour tribute to the music played at Hysteria, I have dug a bit deeper than usual and picked a selection of tunes across the 97-00 period with a few different styles repped! I hope you enjoy...HEAVY LIKE A WAH!
