Loving these mixes @thedjthumpa..what a fuckin bangin year 97 was mate wooohoooooo

They played this at my brothers funeral 1997 

Track id??? Amazing trance-gabber set, love it

As my journey into the music played at Helter Skelter in the 90s continues I look at maybe my favourite year in rave music, 1997!

As a 15 year old in 1997 I went to my first rave, bought a LOT of happy hardcore, D&B and techno records and started my huge fandom for Deathchant, Area 51, Industrial Strength, Mokum & more, buying most of my records at Tempest and HMV in Birmingham and BPM in Derby. 

All of the records in the mix were played at Skelter in 97 by Clarkee, Scorpio, HMS, Fergus, Lomas, The DJ Producer, The Immortalz, Menace, Dolphin, Jay Prescott, Sharkey, Mark EG and M Zone. Enjoy!
