Cheeky little thread to talk about what you listened to today! One of the things I love most about Hardcore is talking about it with like-minded people.
Today I've revisited Bonkers fifteen. Dougal & Gammer's mix is too good. And Sharkey's mix is absolutely massive.
Hard2Get
First Hardcore i listened to today in a couple of weeks or so was Dog Styles - Charlene DNA. Highly recommended if you like that kind of thing.
Audio Warfare
I was on an oldskool Jazz flex this morning so was listening to some Billie Holiday. Hardcore fail. :(
I do have HU6 in the car for the way home though. Not decided on a mix yet!

Marc Smith "Notorius by nature" album....I ve bought some time ago but i ve never listened to it properly so in these days I'm back on it! The mixed cd is pretty sick!
Elipton
Played though the new ABJ album again on Soundcloud. Very good stuff

Well I just recently arrived back home and fired up my UK laptop and strangely staring at me was a Helter Skelter mix by Force & Styles with MC Junior...Yes that one from when he was just released and was on fire. I only meant to listen to a few minutes but ended up listening to the whole mix, it always amazes me how stunning it is to hook me back time and time again.

So I need to check it better, I gave it only a fast listen and it was a little too "powerstomp" for my tastes

The first couple of tracks, perhaps. The album is actually very varied between powerstompy minimal styles and melodic styles. Its a very well rounded album.

_Jay_
Yeah, nice - I've got big love for ABJ as a producer. I can't go and find the track right now because I'm at work (drinking at my desk prior to the Christmas party - only been at the company nine weeks and sadly tonight is the night they see my true, booze-drenched colours), but he stuck a track on SoundCloud a few months ago that was absolutely sick. It was only a really short clip. I hope it's on the album.
Also looking forward to the Earth Cry update. Such a sick tune.

Ah ok sorry I didn't explain it well, my english sucks....I was too lazy at school.... I'm not a big fan of that bouncy hardcore now called "powerstomp" and when i gave a fast listen to the ABJ album it sounded too much orientated on that style to me :)

"Sitting in my jail cell, making up rhymes." I only remember that one line but, you're right, F&S sets with Junior were incredible around about that time. I started a thread not too long ago about what 'hardcore' people listen to in general and Force & Styles had snuck back in for me.
In terms of today, though, it's been HU pres. 2013, I'm afraid. It's usually something less predictable but I've been getting through the recent HU albums VERY slowly due to my incredibly short commute to work!
Bonkers 15 isn't a bad shout, Jay - the 'Bonks' are always my fail-safe!

Well, to be honest today I was busy only listening to the Goa-CD that has been in my car for 2 weeks and some mixes and tunes in this forum. Yesterday I felt the urge to play CD 2 of Nu Energy 100 again only because of your FB-post. I didn't care that outside of my car it was f**king cold, but I simply had to open the windows and blast out the tunes. I must be a driving chav!

Lol! today I was organizing some christmas presents and stuff. Thought I'd throw something on while I was at it. Call it coincidence or whatev, but I threw on Dougal and Gammer's Bonkers 15 mix, after ages of not listening to it! There was something about gammer's style back then that was just pure gold. It didn't feel overproduced yet it was pretty epic.
"A New Feeling" was the highlight. :)

I was listening to Brisk and Dougal cd from Hardcore Heaven Volume 3
and yesterday my hubbies brilliant Mortis December mini mix that he submitted in the mixes section with no response!!!!!
Now there's a surprise!

Al Storm & Euphony - "Mind Over Matter" album all day long...it's full of great tunes!

This morning I listened to all of the Stamina Records releases that I have. Probably 60-70% of their back catalog. There are some unbelievable tracks on this label.

Had this on in the car throughout the week:
Great album that should be in everyone's collection!
Elipton
Some old school house, some Marcus Intalex, some Hardstyle. iTunes is being rinsed thanks to my dissertation sue for tomorrow

Been listening to the Freeform mix of Hardcore Underground 6 today. Absolutely delicious.
fakka13k
Listened to an old mix I knocked up of the go mental gold records, got a little bit emotional! Lol
Captain Triceps
A mix I made of mid 90's happy hardcore, gabber and bouncy techno. 2 Technics and 2 Pioneers. I just about managed with three decks but when I tried including the fourth it failed spectacularly.
Might re-record it later on, actually.

HTID Big Weekend - Dowster & Vagabond, Slipmatt and Dougal... probably more to come :)

Which CD(s)?
Captain Triceps
Our second baby arrived the other day, so music has been pretty limited at home. (Yes, shameless excuse to mention our new baby!)
However, I've been going through an old gabber and bouncy techno phase lately. A month or so and it will be something else.
Outside of rave music, when I can it's just been the usual reggae and ska. Also chucked a load of Steely Dan tunes on my iPod, Kid Charlemagne being a favourite.
I can't help but think I've already mentioned this on here in the recent past...
_Jay_
Gave Bonkers 5 a whirl for the first time in ages this afternoon. It's good.
Also had a few hours with The Boys (WHAM) this morning to get me going as well. Becoming a bit of a ritual, that.

Chris Ross & Chwhynny - Fierce Like Fire.
I haven't cancelled the engagement. Nuff Said.

I've been listening to a continuous stream of Scott Brown stuff from the last few days including individual tracks, a two-hour mix I made and the odd live-set.
I've always loved it (since I discovered it (which was actually only about 18 months ago!)) but I am starting to seriously consider Na Na Na as a truly great track. There's just relentless optimism in it. Keeps on giving.
Brown's the master of the mainly-instrumental-with-maybe-a-small-vocal-sample tracks. I'll Be Yours is another great example.
God that man is such a legend. I can barely put into words how much I love him.
Olly Thumpa played Andromeda at Bust An Old Jam last weekend and what a magnificent raving experience that was, as well.

That's exactly how I feel when I listen to the Hardcore Heaven series, Hardcore Euphoria, Bonkers 16/17 or any other album from that sort of era. Honestly, even the HTID series now evokes a cruel nostalgia. HTID 3 actually sounds pretty damn good these days.
_Jay_
Hardcore Euphoria was phenomenal. And still is, obviously. I don't think I've ever rinsed an album to the degree that I did when that one came out. Got me through some horrible, dark, winter-morning commutes, that did.

New Above & Beyond album We are all we need. Once again proving why they are one of the best UK dance artists
I was compiling a playlist of YT videos where people mixing HHC and Makina. Found two old videos from Milo and DJ Sc@r among other things. Both got me with their intro tune. Milo's mix kept getting better with "What a great drug" and made me add him to my list within the fourth track. Sc@r's mix felt oldschool but new to me, and when arriving at 5:00 I was convinced that this is something I'm going to listen to more than once. ;) Only the video quality is rather low.
