I know AIR was took over and relaunched under a new name but i miss it at AIR! My first rave was in AIR at HTID 13, special vibes man!

U can never go wrong with a  thumpa mix 😍😍😍😍

Hardcore Hooligan has been uploading loads of HTID packs from 2004/2005 and I’ve been listening to them all weekend. Had a huge grin on my face listening back to Hixxy, Sy, Brisk, Scott Brown, Darren Styles, Sharkey and Kev Energy tapes, I was at nearly every HTID 2004 to 2007 and it was a huge part of my DJing and raving days! 2004 to 2005 I absolutely loved UK hardcore and even got to play at the first ever Raver Baby event, golden days for the music where was out every weekend!

The next few weeks I’ll be mixing and putting out a series of mixes dedicated to the music played at HTID in 2004/2005 with all my faves in there across UK hardcore and freeform. Enjoy volume 1!
