if anyone can tell me if the strings etc are original or not at 3:10 I would be very thankful :)

Lasgo - All Night Long (Sy & Unknown Remix) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yghj3ZRfZxk Waaaay better than the original... and that Sy scratching from the Hardcore Heaven 3 album over this track.... damn... insane. Listened to this countless times.
Sy & Unknown feat Lou Lou - Don't Leave Me Now Beautiful lyrics, an amazing song.

the truth is that i often find that sy & unknown tracks are really quite bland.
there are quite a few good remixes of their tracks though, scott brown's remix of bring me round to love is awesome.

Took me a while to be able to listen to that song again, haha. Everyone and their mother played that song when it first came out. Fun song for sure.

reply deleted. I posted a photo from a Sy fan which made me laugh myself silent but it's very unfair to share it.

You need to read the credits lol. Pretty much every track in the mix is by him & Unknown.

Here is my bit of Sy appreciation:
At the tail end of Kniteforce, Sy & Unknown remixed for us. It was just as I went bankrupt and had to sell the label - the history of that is another story. But the bottom line is, I did not pay Sy for the remix. It wasn't deliberate - I had no money for anything, but I simply forgot. Most of the people I owed money to were cool about it. The business people - record press, labels and sleeve manufacturers etc - were all fine with me paying "eventually". I had always paid either on time or early since the label started and had a good relationship with them. But still, giving me that much leeway was incredible. Some of them waited 2 years or so. Most of the artists were cool about it too, and said to forget the debt. A few were dicks, and there was of course justification, because I owed them money. But that got sorted out too. However, I never even spoke to Sy about it, because in the misery and chaos, I forgot I even owed him.
Did Sy slander me, curse me or act like an ass? No.
He did remix Six Days (I think) during the time I was gone, but thats fair enough because at that point I was out of the scene and why not make a little coin on a track when he had lost out on a remix fee. I probably would have done the same thing lol.
When I started KFA and got back into the scene, Sy and I ended up chatting and he gently reminded him that I never paid him for the remix.
So I paid him.
I think it says much for his character that he could have held a grudge (I do with certain people, its hard not to when you feel cheated) and never spoke badly of me that I have heard, when he had every right to.
Other than that, every dealing I have had with him has been nice, friendly. And now that I think of it, perhaps I should ask him to do a remix for me for my label....

I prefer the DS mix because around thsi time, Sy&Unknown started to sound less like Quosh and wanted to sound like Raverbaby instead

Also good story.

Hadn't realised that Sy & Unknown had done a remix of tell Me A Story so hadn't heard this. Liking this.
Nice to hear this one - Do We Have To Say Goodbye. Not listened to the original much, was more familiar with the Breeze & Styles remix but great to hear original again.

My fave track of Sy and Unknown, for me, this kind of sound, and era actually, defines UK hardcore.
And arguably the best scratching ive ever heard...
Plus on a sidenote, back in 2014 i actually got to MC for Sy at a little rave in Peterborough called DSO, as i don't get chemically enhanced as they say i always get hungry at raves, so was actually in the chippy next door to the venue at nearly midnight having got there at like 9pm for my original set which i did when my missus rang me, and said Sy has just come on, DJ Kyle WytchWood is MC'ing for the moment, do you want to come and do it?
I have never binned a portion of chips and ran up a staircase so fast in all my days, the chance to MC for the man that i listened to over the years as a teenager, it's one of those things that you never expect to happen, especially when id only been doing it barely a year, plus he was playing happy hardcoe into newer quosh stuff so i got to go on stuff like shooting star and field of dreams, i never thought that would ever happen, plus Kyle stayed with me for a bit too so we got to roll B2B for a while,Kyle is actually a pretty good MC as well.

Sick and thoroughly underappreciated track. Part of my favourite era and one of those tracks that I'll probably never forget.
I remember the slating Bonkers 18 and the later HTID albums got at the time. Now, they seem like works of pure godlike majesty. I liked them at the time but a lot of people didn't.
You never know what you've gone until it's gone. In hindsight, 2009 was an incredible year for hardcore compilations.
I don't care what anyone says; Sy & Unknown's remix of We Dance On was a home wrecker as well. I played it at a house party with a bunch of non-hardcore fans and not a single **** in the place gave a shit. In fact, we got so excited that we started punching literal holes in the walls.

Make it bounce
Free your mind remix
Out of your mind
Just can't get enough
Take control remix
Steel finger part 2
Light up
Devotion 2008 remix
Hyperspeed remix
Over now remix
Always loved the punchy Sy & Unknown bass line.
Really wish he was still making tunes instead of perving over naked 17 year olds.

Some very good shouts there. Light Up was underrated as ****. Hyperspeed remix was an absolute gem -- era classic, no doubt. Their other Adam Harris remixes weren't as iconic but just as great.

Thanks to this thread, I've genuinely just had the police show up with a noise complaint (nothing better to do on a Saturday night, really??).
I've got a ~1.5kw sound system in here and it's hot so I opened the windows..
All my music stuff is at the front of the house on the top floor but if you want a party in the back garden, literally all you have to do is open the front window. At top volume (which you need earplugs to be in the same room as, obviously), you can hear it within a ~half-kilometre radius of my house.
Edit: Yes, it is pretty much pointless to have a small rave sound system in your house. I can't get it above 10% on my amp without my ears hurting. But it was key to some pretty crazy parties when I was younger and healthier.

Agreed mate, shite joke. Perhaps skarr found it funny?
There's a lot more but these were the result of a mini brainstorming session. I love the Adam Harris remixes. Over now was genuinely one of my favourites at the time but very underrated. Also loved the remixes of Sunlight and All I want by impact and resist

Pity Sy & Unknown never released their own album/Quosh album.
i'll always remember the first Sy track I heard Sy & Unknown - Listen to the ace from Hardcore Heaven 2 - 20 years ago now!
Elliott
Imo this one never received the love it deserved. I remember absolutely caning it on repeat for days immediately after it came out. I was out with my mates for the day but I was loving the music so much back then that I barely took my headphones out. They got bored of me being an antisocial prick and ditched me in McDonalds -- and of course I was too busy listening to the track to even notice. The walk home was fun though.

A remix that will never happen - imagine a Sy & Unknown remix of this (2004-2008 style)!

Pretty sure Bennie D (of CTTF/Renegade Radio) did a remix of it recently.
His remixes are spot on. :)

I love this one...
...so much that I have been looking for the digital master for years (sadly, the version appearing in The Ultimate Hardcore Album is a dirty vinyl recording).
I personally contacted DJ Sy through email long time ago in order to ask for it, but he told me that the one holding the DAT tape was DJ Demo. Then, I figured out that the last one uploaded to his Soundcloud account an excerpt of this song, whose source is clearly from the digital master due to the absence of vinyl noise and its clean sound:
However, after contacting him through the social media, the one replying me appeared to be his manager, which only replied systematically to me nonsense in order to evade the topic, regardless of the pretty generous amount of money I was offering for it.
So sad to see that I probably will never be able to listen to this full song as it deserves...
