Thumpa - This Is The Sound Of Helter Skelter 1993 - 1999 (Happy Hardcore, D&B, Hardcore Techno)

My HUGE 2 hour look at the happy hardcore played at Helter Skelter in 1995! I honestly didn't think I'd enjoy mixing this as 95 was not my favourite year at all but when I went through my tracklists and then my records I realised I'd subconsciously bought pretty much everything played in 95 at Skelter!

I had so much fun mixing this, what a special time where the breakbeats faded away and the kickdrum became stronger and more prominent and the basslines became stabs and claps with huge influences from European music. You'll either love or hate this style but I'd like to think I chose the right tunes, all tracks played at Skelter! I hope you enjoy listening...

Thumpa - This Is The Sound Of Helter Skelter 1995! (Happy Hardcore)

My final look at the mighty Technodrome at Helter Skelter with a massive delve into the various hardcore techno styles played in 1995!

95 was the year of BOUNCY techno and gabber so I've tried to encorporate some of my favourite bouncy tunes played at Skelter during this time, huge shout to Scorpio, Brisk, Druid, Lomas and The DJ Producer for the inspiration.

I hope you enjoy listening! Please give me a follow on socials:

The first in a series of trilogy mixes dedicated to Helter Skelter 1996 to 1999! I'll be compiling and mixing 3 mixes for every year covering my favourite happy hardcore, D&B and hardcore techno tracks played at Skelter...

Tracklist soon...

Thumpa - This Is The Sound Of Helter Skelter 1996! (Happy Hardcore)

By far the longest mix I've done in the series, here's over 3 hours of music played in Helter Skelter's Technodrome in 1998! From trance to techno to UK gabba to speedcore...it's all there.

Enjoy!

Thumpa - This Is The Sound Of Helter Skelter 1998! (Technodrome Trance / Techno)

Over lockdown I must have listened to every Helter Skelter set ever recorded! I did a series of mixes celebrating 1996 to 1999 but then I went back and listened to the 17th Sep 93 tapes and realised I had so many tunes from these sets. 

I decided to put a set together of JUST tunes from the tapes, there's so much variety whether it was the pianos from the Slipmatt set, the darkness from the Randall set or the weirdness from The Music Maker set...93 was such an exciting year. I hope you enjoy my tribute to this crazy year where the light and the dark clashed and hardcore jungle techno reigned supreme...
