Looking to expand my collection with some quality CDs/albums for the early to mid-naughties. List anything - whether it was a bigger compilation of the era or a smaller one-off release. Links to Discogs would be nice.
FANX TEAM.

Off the top of my head, Masters Of Hardcore, the UK version. I'm pretty sure you know about it actually but both the B&S and S&U mixes are excellent showcases of the quality coming out that year (2002).

Excellent, Matt. Yes, we've spoken about this before. I'll snaffle this one up.

One of the best albums of this era, absolutely brilliant. Shame the Breeze & Styles mix is a little slow, especially after listening to the Sy & Unknown mix. I actually won that album from this site in a competition (and at the same time I won Bonkers 8 off USH!)
Anyway...
The second lot of Hardcore Heaven releases were really great:
http://www.discogs.com/Dougal-Breeze-Hardcore-Heaven-1/release/174817
http://www.discogs.com/Various-Hardcore-Heaven-2-Reloaded/release/172818
This one was decent as well:
http://www.discogs.com/Various-The-Ultimate-Happy-Hardcore-Album/release/430935
This was a belter, cheap as well for what you get:
http://www.discogs.com/Various-Hardcore/release/239901
Looking at discogs there were stacks of them, the ones above were the ones that came to mind. I've got a shitload of some lesser memorable ones, nothing wrong with them but these ones were among the best. A lot of releases were also rebranded older compilations or just happy hardcore mixes, which are good if you can get them cheap.
Check this for a more comprehensive selection.

High five! I was well impressed when it arrived, and Bonkers 8 a day or so later, totally unexpected as I wasn't notified (well, I probably was but didn't see).
Another one, this was a freebie with a magazine but a great one if you can get it:

I feel like I've had that one at some point. Cover looks familiar, but no the tracklist. Maybe I borrowed it from a mate. Definitely look into that one. Three unmixed discs as well - could do with bolstering my mixable tune library from that era.

100% had that at some point. It may well be at my parents place, in the loft. I'll have to investigate.

It's a '99 CD but I acquired it in the early '00's and it's quite good - http://www.discogs.com/Sharkey-Mark-EG-Brainstorm-Hardcore-Trance-Fusion/release/135017
And of course the happy 2b hardcore series is classic, but not the best mixing.

BUT at least Frolic DID mix intro/outro. Hardly any DJ mixes now days showcase this type of mixing.

Careful! Keep up that kind of attitude and I'll boycott your Stomp! set in a few weeks!
What time you getting there, actually?
