Does anyone still listen to tape packs? Most sets are on YouTube nowadays, which makes life slightly easier when trying to listen to a few back-to-back.
Anyhow, what are your top three Helter Skelter tapes/sets? I'm feeling nostalgic!

I've got most the helter skelter hardcore 12 packs from 1996 including the void club tour in Stoke from 1998 I think, so hard to pick my top 3 sets but hixxy imagination New Year's Eve 1997, he plays loads of tracks in this set and some quick mixes, then any sy set really, sy never played a bad set, his decadance set from October 1999 was class.

Funny you should mention Imagination. It was the Supreme set from that event that inspired the post. But, yes, the Hixxy set is boss.
The Sy Energy 97 & 98 sets are amazing, too!

How was the Supreme set? The bit round about half way (Side 1>Side 2) is sweet in't it? There's about 4 or 5 bangers one after the other.

95% of them are of an unlistenable sound quality though. Nothing like listening to the actual tapes.
But yes, i do still listen to them. It's my favourite way to listen to Hardcore although my tolerance for MC's isn't what it used to be.

Yeah, agreed. It's just I kept bringing my tapes and vinyl along with me every time I moved house. It became a real pain in the arse so in the end I just sent them back to me ma's and I now make do with YouTube. Not the same, agreed, but it meets a need.

ebay, lad. I bought a Technics one about 3 years ago just to listen to the aforementioned tapes. It cost me a fiver and the thing would survive a plane crash. I spent more on tube fare going to pick it up but the thing is faultless.
What's the format these days? Do they still do CDs or is it purchasable mp3s? I see some
DJs put quite a few up on SoundCloud.

My 3 favourite Skelter sets:
Brisk @ Anthology March 97 with an amazing MC Storm, literally the best hour of music I've ever heard
Kenny Ken & Stevie Hyper D @ Energy 97, so so good
Scorpio @ Human Nature June 98, great time for the Technodrome, every tape from this pack is spot on

I believe you need to be a member of the group in order to get to it mate.
