Si Thompson	I loved this vibe around the early 00s in Hardcore. Also this from 2005. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gm4ha-EPUDc&t=3s
MusicILove	Here are a few of my favourites from that era.

Si Thompson	Loved this release!

Mickey Init	quote: Originally posted by Si Thompson: I remember Sy playing that a few times during 2001. Yeah it has a different feel to the Hixxy/B&S tunes of that time, perhaps more in keeping with the Evolution and Quosh movement. Robbie Long & Devastate we?re also in-form round about that time. Those Raver/Jelly Baby tunes were awesome but I remember it took a while to warm up to that sound. The problem with mixing them was that the kick would disappear when perfectly synced. Feel It In The Air was amazing. The Gammer remix wasn?t too far removed from the original and so gave us a timeless edition of that tune.

You had to bang on mixing those early Raver Baby tracks. Heavy thudding kick!
Si Thompson	This is another Raver Baby I liked.
Hard2Get	Deep Inside is without a doubt one of the best tunes from that era.
Sulphurik	quote: Originally posted by Si Thompson: This is another Raver Baby I liked. Yes this is great. There was an update mix on first Clubland hardcore album which is good also.
9oh9	Who was MC Kinetik? I can't remember seeing him on flyers at slammin/hardcore heaven etc? This is probably my favourite era of hardcore too... There was plenty of variety around, the tail end of happy hardcore, the start of the raverbaby sound, decent freeform, feels like the tracks were a lot more credible, before everyone settled on the template for the next 10 years haha.
Sulphurik	Actually thought this was released already, Scott Brown's Now is the time 02-03 compilation. Good tracklisting, familar with all tracks apart from Somebody in the house and Twilight Zone which aren't on same level as rest of the tracks. https://www.beatport.com/release/now-is-the-time-02-03/2773380
Si Thompson	This is another with that wicked 2000 vibe. Shame the recording isn't good on this video. I have it on vinyl.

Great track!

Great track! I used to cain 'Clash Of The Titans' back in 2002. One of my favourite Evoloution releases of that year.
Samination	Never really heard it before 2008 to be honest :( Got it on vinyl first in 2009 (and it was the licensed X-que repress).
Si Thompson	quote: Originally posted by Samination: Never really heard it before 2008 to be honest :( Got it on vinyl first in 2009 (and it was the licensed X-que repress). Yes. There were a few Spanish releases of Scott Brown's stuff. I always got the Evolution releases on promo a few weeks before. So from 1999-2005.
Si Thompson	I loved this. It's actually my favourite version.
Alex Threat	Anything Evolution and Next Generation 00-06 is where its at for me!
Craig Cairney	Evolution, Quosh, Next Generation, Raw Elements, Raver Baby, Essential Platinum, Camel, RFU, DFM, Future Dance etc So many good labels around that time.

Anon.	Been playing this today, melody just popped in my head at random so went and looked for it on youtube and wallah there it was. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHmaKOGPKww
The drunken scotsman	quote: Originally posted by Anon.: Been playing this today, melody just popped in my head at random so went and looked for it on youtube and wallah there it was. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHmaKOGPKww Excellent track although I preferred the breeze and styles remix.
Si Thompson	Couple of EVO Plus releases I used to cain in 2004.
DJ_FunDaBounce	quote: Originally posted by Anon.: Been playing this today, melody just popped in my head at random so went and looked for it on youtube and wallah there it was. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHmaKOGPKww One of my faves! Amazing melody!

Si Thompson	I didn't actually like this at the time. I thought it was a poor follow up to Elysium. However, It grew on me over the years. I just see it as another track now, rather than any relation to Elysium.
LeVzi	Same feeling here, it's nothing to do with Elysium tbh, the original was a good track.
Smoogie	quote: Originally posted by Si Thompson: I loved this. It's actually my favourite version. I like this one as well. It is similar to the original but has a slight different take on it. Different to a lot of Hixxy's other stuff as well
Si Thompson	I don't think this one has particularly aged well.
Impulse_Response	quote: Originally posted by Si Thompson: I don't think this one has particularly aged well. It would be a lot better with a different bass sound.
Si Thompson	quote: Originally posted by Impulse_Response: quote: Originally posted by Si Thompson: I don't think this one has particularly aged well. It would be a lot better with a different bass sound. Yes. That's my issue, I didn't really notice back in 2001. Sounds flat now. Kick is weak too, which is unlike Scott Brown.
The drunken scotsman	Darren Styles used that riff for his relatively new tune - Switch.
Si Thompson	quote: Originally posted by The drunken scotsman: Darren Styles used that riff for his relatively new tune - Switch. It's a rip of a 1994 Hard Trance track. I actually prefer this version.
Si Thompson	I've always liked this version. Technically it was made in 1999, but released in 2000. Fat thudding kick. I think musically it's pretty damn good. Different feel for sure, when comparing it to the original Visa mix.
Craig Cairney	I still like The First Parable, but it was always about the flip on that release. As for the Soaked (aka Kaos) version of All I Need ... That's pretty cool as well. Remember hearing Vibes drop it late '99. I was always a sucker for all things DJ Kaos / Go Mental Records tho. (Note: Yeah the aforementioned was Raving Mad, but you know)

(Note: Yeah the aforementioned was Raving Mad, but you know) Yeah. First time was at 'The Millennium Jam'. I was too. I remember going up to Flip Records on my birthday in March 2000 and buying a load of the Go Mental 'Gold Series'.
Si Thompson	I prefer this to the original.
Alex Threat	quote: Originally posted by Si Thompson: I didn't actually like this at the time. I thought it was a poor follow up to Elysium. However, It grew on me over the years. I just see it as another track now, rather than any relation to Elysium. Wicked tune this one
Si Thompson	This track proper reminds me of 2000. The best mix for me, along with Demand's 1997 mix.
LeVzi	quote: Originally posted by Si Thompson: This track proper reminds me of 2000. The best mix for me, along with Demand's 1997 mix. Nothing beats the original for me, remember when it first turned up. If that Justin Time remix at the same synth for the break, I reckon it would have been better imo.

Much preferred the Demand mix that was released on the final Uplifting records release. This actually has the original on it also. That stab section that starts at 2:45. Wicked man.
LeVzi	If I didn't know that was a demand remix, id know it was his by hearing it, his normal "high" production standards lol I like Demands stuff btw, not saying its bad, but you can tell a demand track a mile off. lol
Samination	I thought I didn't have it, but I do have the Justin time remix of Excitement as mp3. Can't remember where I got it though, since most of the Hecttech MP3's where on IMOdownload and most of those were only 192kbps.
9oh9	quote: Originally posted by Si Thompson: I prefer this to the original. This is one of my favourite records. The remix of inside beat is incredible, love the riffs and the breakdown/buildup. The trixxy remix of sailaway on the other side is also great, loads of rushy reverse reverb, I'm guessing this could've been one of the last tracks Trixxy did with nextgen/bb? Probably my favourite mix of that track as well (although the hard as fock mix on the original vinyl is a close second).

Samination	Was it Demand that did the Jobseekers - True Love Never dies? because it sounded very similar to his Compulsive Records stuff Take a ride: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vi9GlTW5kw0 True Love Never Dies/Airwave https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhWwfuogNAU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gC3U0h7nq_k

Si Thompson	This was a wicked release. I was caining both versions of this around September 2007.
LeVzi	Dunno why this never got more love tbh. I like this remix. The Vagabond influence is what makes it good.
Alex Threat	quote: Originally posted by Si Thompson: This was a wicked release. I was caining both versions of this around September 2007. Used to absolutely cain the original of this like. belting tune
Si Thompson	quote: Originally posted by LeVzi: Dunno why this never got more love tbh. I like this remix. The Vagabond influence is what makes it good. Forgot about this remix. Yeah. I love that main lead.
Si Thompson	This release always reminds me of early 2001.
Si Thompson	Couple of Sy & Unknown bits I liked from later in 2000.
LeVzi	That Da Edge - Wizardry track is pissing me off, cos I cant remember the original from way back when. .. . . . .
Si Thompson	quote: Originally posted by LeVzi: That Da Edge - Wizardry track is pissing me off, cos I cant remember the original from way back when. .. . . . . This one is the original. I prefer the 1994 remixes. I've heard Sy play one of them in 1994.

Si Thompson	This is a wicked tune from around 2009/10. Ultravibes have that Scott Brown lead sound down pat here.
Si Thompson	Wicked Scott Brown release from 2003. Didn't get played much.
Si Thompson	One of my favourite Stompy tracks. First got played by Vibes @ United Dance in October 2000. It didn't get a release until 2002. Quite rare on vinyl.
Si Thompson	Heard this the first time Sy played it @ Raindance 'Slightly late Valentine's ball' in Feb 2005. I was actually behind the decks. Start of that bouncy vibe that was so prominent during late 2004 and through 2005.

Seduction played this at the Uproar event in April 2005. Also, Heard Sy play it at Vibealite 'The Wild West' Shootout' (I think).
Si Thompson	I quite liked this track back in the day. Sy & Unknown going through their 'Hard House' influenced phase.
Craig Cairney	Loved Quosh Records around that time. Are You Afraid was a favourite! As was Won't You Rock With Me?
Alex Threat	This
Si Thompson	I remember waiting for this to be released in 2004, and then nothing. What I would do for this tune.
Psychedelic.Qveen	So let's just say that I have a whole entire damn playlist with 2000s Happy Hardcore.. :D https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtLBeu_Epc4jhY1m5fcu6VkAPVUWU8NRD
Si Thompson	I had to buy this twice. The first time I left it on the train home around early 2001.
Si Thompson	I remember DNA's intro mix that he was playing in late 2000. Always digged this track.
Mickey Init	quote: Originally posted by Si Thompson: I remember DNA's intro mix that he was playing in late 2000. Always digged this track. Never made a bad tune, that dude!

Craig Cairney	Was always a huge fan of DNA's music. His stuff in 2000 was fantastic. Be it solo, or collaboration. The Bastard, Mother F**king Psycho, About U, See Me Climb rmx, Taken the Groove, Torn Souls etc

The Bastard, Mother F**king Psycho, About U, See Me Climb rmx, Taken the Groove, Torn Souls etc Yes, Craig. Totally agree. I especially liked that 'See Me Climb' remix.
Si Thompson	Loved this track. I remember going into town on my lunch break at College to buy it in 2002.
Si Thompson	This was another gooden. Sy played it at Future Vibe in the Sanctuary when I was there in 2002.
tenfold234	The 2000's were the best years IMO. So much good variety in music not just from the old guard but a bunch of new guys. These were my favs: So much good choonage.
Si Thompson	Thought I would upload this to YouTube seeing as it isn't on there anymore.

Samination	Don't post the whole link into the youtube tags, only the bit after v= and before any & https : // www. youtube.com/watch?v=Ni7C7K7uRLE
Si Thompson	Would've preferred the original SUAD vocals, but hey ho.
flash	Hi Everyone, Its been a while since I came on to the site, logged in today for the first time since 25th May 2006!! I have managed to dig out some old mixes that I think are relevant to this thread, all from 2001-2007 or so. I have no idea if they are any good but they all work and they are all here https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B_RqCSPtpjcVU1RWRG5hLXpWOE0 https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B_RqCSPtpjcVU1RWRG5hLXpWOE0?usp=sharing ?usp=sharing Hope you enjoy Flash
Anon.	Hmm am gonnae wait and see if someone downloads that first. A cant tell if you're real or a really good bot.
flash	Ha ha yes fair enough. I did think people might have that view. Here?s a soundcloud link to a couple that are not on the G Drive https://soundcloud.com/daniel-gordon-893506253/come-running and https://soundcloud.com/daniel-gordon-893506253/higher-ground
KungFuRabbit	Since I'm apparently incompetent at using the youtube embed function: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iOUbP-uDfY I absolutely love this song
Alex Threat	I used to be obsessed with this tune. Wish the Raverbaby stuff would get released digitally!
Elys1um	This song = the essence of Happy Hardcore imo <3 One of the best ch00ns ever, so uplifting Does any know if Vagabond still produces and if he has a Facebook page? I tried to search based on his different aliases from Discogs but no luck quote: Originally posted by Alex Threat: I used to be obsessed with this tune. Wish the Raverbaby stuff would get released digitally! Haha, a Lange remix! Some of the vocals/lyrics are from Lost Witness - Happiness Happening (Lange remix). Wish some one made a Happy HC remix of this one from him, all you need to do is speed it up to 170+ BPM pretty much
Si Thompson	One of my favourites from the first 6 months of 2001.
Si Thompson	Wicked remix. Played this in a few sets this year.
tenfold234	quote: I used to be obsessed with this tune. Wish the Raverbaby stuff would get released digitally! Unless Hixxy has been lying about his hard drive failure that had the DATs on it. RB digitals are never, never gonna happen. The only thing I can think of is if the other RB artists (UFO, Breeze, Styles, Dowster etc...) have their masters of the stuff they released and you might get some parts of a back catalog. Its litterely the only thing from that era that I do not have digitally.

Samination	UFO had a harddrive crash ages ago, and that's why I always wondered if Hixxy was lying, or Hixxy or UFO shared the same harddrive for their masters
Si Thompson	Not really aged well, but I quite liked this back in the day.
Si Thompson	One of my favourites from 2005.
Si Thompson	Different to the 98 version that didn't get a full release, but similar in vibe. Vocals arranged differently with new and improved production.

Si Thompson	quote: Originally posted by Samination: I'm just guessing, because if you didn't ask for promos, the only other way you could've gotten them, digitally, is by piracy Well. You guessed wrong. Where is Sterichie, anyway? Must be coming up to a year since I last spoke to him.
Impulse_Response	Sounds like digital recordings of vinyl if it's something you found online. I thought you meant native digital files.

They're still active over at soundcloud (I think I saw a post made less than 6 months ago)
Si Thompson	Forgot about this track.

Alex Threat	Couple Quosh anthems
Si Thompson	quote: Originally posted by Alex Threat: Couple Quosh anthems I was pleased when that 'Kick It' release came out, as it had the Bonkers 7 version on it. I got the original one back in 1999 on the week it was released. The track was actually called 'Alive' originally. I have a JB remix from 2010 that's pretty damn good, also.

Still got the original vinyl (not the quosh repress)? I wanna verify if 3 other tracks that came with the vinylgroover bundle are infact the ones that appeared on the same release
Si Thompson	I remember getting this in 2003. The inclusion of 'Sweet Harmony' vocals and piano works nicely.
Alex Threat	This is an absolute beast

Si Thompson	quote: Originally posted by Alex Threat: Yeah, it is usually my go to tune when i am mixing on the 1210s. love that bouncy sound. Don't think i have heard the VIP mix of it Will drop it in my next UK Hardcore mix, along with that JB 'Kick It' remix.
Alex Threat	Nice one, i will definitely have a listen!
Si Thompson	Quality release. Both tracks made late 2004 but released in 2005. My sort of UK Hardcore.
Si Thompson	Wish I had the longer version of this. Seduction played it @ Uproar 'Winter Wonderland' in December 2004. It starts with a kick.
Si Thompson	Lovely stuff. I remember Seduction playing this in 2004 @ HTID.
Si Thompson	This will be 20 years old in 2 years time. Madness. I remember buying it the week it got released.
Samination	ah yes, that typical choppiness of Raver Baby vinyls. Gotta love it
Si Thompson	I'm gonna drop this again in the thread. Such a wicked tune. That early, fat Raver Baby, Kick.
IceJockey	Found this in Bonkers 13 and man it is nice to listen to, and the lyrics really top it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kovmLAMmZvg
Si Thompson	quote: Originally posted by IceJockey: Found this in Bonkers 13 and man it is nice to listen to, and the lyrics really top it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kovmLAMmZvg Yep. Quality track.
Sulphurik	quote: Originally posted by Si Thompson: I'm gonna drop this again in the thread. Such a wicked tune. That early, fat Raver Baby, Kick. Yes great track, probably one of the best Raver Baby tracks. Would be nice to get digital copy of this. Might not be too much longer for this to happen.
Si Thompson	I quite liked this back in the day.
LeVzi	quote: Originally posted by Si Thompson: I quite liked this back in the day. There is a way better version of that, but i've never managed to find it, but its on this mix comes in about 22 minutes , I remember it from the actual night, awesome night that was. If anyone knows who done that version, or if it's around anywhere, let me know :) If anyone wants to hear a MASSIVE Set that tore up the main arena then check out Slipmatts. He stole the show again, and the place was off its tits for his hour. I personally never seen a crowd go from mediocre to manic in 2 seconds flat when people heard the On Top remix coming in. Charlie B just capped it.

I've had this version cut to a 12 inch white label.
Si Thompson	One of my favourites from 2002. I remember Sy playing it at Slammin' Vinyl in November 2002.

Si Thompson	This proper reminds me of the year 2000. Slammin' Vinyl & Future Dance. Great times!
Si Thompson	This is a quality set.
Si Thompson	I remember picking this up in 2008 on vinyl.
Si Thompson	Played this the other night. I love those old 2000 vibes. This version isn't on YouTube, so I've just uploaded it.
HTODCam	Hi there, I wonder if you guys can help me ID a track, please? I downloaded it many years ago, and gave it the title "JHAL - Rushhour". It is obviously a remix of the song by DJ Magical, but I am unable to find the above-named version of the song anywhere! I think it is Lisa Abbott singing in the "JHAL" version. It is not any of the 1996 remixes, nor of any of the 2012 remixes, as I downloaded this song before then (maybe 2008?). I have added a link to my dropbox page where I have the song stored: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6nrczfhg0z73mn6/Rushhour.mp3?dl=0 Any ideas would be great!

Samination	There's a reason why it's called JHAL, since it sounds very DJ Fade:ey https://www.discogs.com/Fade-Kelly-Damaged-Rush-Hourz/release/2763123 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chl_1W0UF9A

Si Thompson	I picked this up on vinyl the first week of January 2000. Made in 1999, but released in 2000. I remember getting handed a pile of new stuff in the record shop and I instantly recognised this from the Vibes NYE set at the last Helter Skelter. Lovely little track. Faze Freak was a decent label, although, short lived.
Si Thompson	This is actually my favourite version out of all the versions.
Si Thompson
Si Thompson	This was a decent track. Totally forgot about it.

Pitchshifter always felt like the intro was cut (the bars doesnt align properly) It's just 8 bar short on the intro, or 8 bars too long, whichever way you want to look at it. Easy fix. Just mix the track in 8 bars early. Plenty of tracks around like that.
Samination	Couldn't find Why? on youtube, so I uploaded it

Si Thompson	I quite liked Adam Harris.
LeVzi	Adam Harris is decent, this is always on my playlist when I do listen to UK Hardcore
Samination	Never really liked Harris, or most of the stuff that appeared on Hixxy's mix since bonkers 13

Si Thompson	Two very different mixes on one vinyl. I like both.
Samination	Raw Elements really had a good run when it was still releasing vinyl, especially on the Freeform side
Si Thompson	quote: Originally posted by Samination: Raw Elements really had a good run when it was still releasing vinyl, especially on the Freeform side For sure. I used to buy all the new vinyl releases in the early 2000s.
hevan	quote: Originally posted by Si Thompson: I remember playing this around late 2003. One of my favourites right now
Si Thompson	I played this in my sets all through the summer of 2006.
Si Thompson	Great time period for UK Hardcore.
9oh9	Future Set was an absoutely pivotal track IMO, defined the sound for a good few years to come.
Si Thompson	quote: Originally posted by 9oh9: Future Set was an absoutely pivotal track IMO, defined the sound for a good few years to come. Yeah. You're right.
9oh9	The Breeze & Styles disc on "Masters Of Hardcore" is pretty much a Breeze & Styles artist album, full of that sort of sound. Am sure you've heard it before, but if not it's well worth a listen!
Si Thompson	Such a nice remix. Really captures that mid 2000s vibe.

Ponder & HB from the good old days on USH. Yep. My favourite remix of this track.
Si Thompson	Decent release. Hasn't aged badly at all, especially considering it's now 20 years old.
Si Thompson	Another track that captures that wicked 2000s vibe.
9oh9	Love "Get Hype"; that recording is from Bonkers 9; first Bonkers album where I was old enough to go to raves. I remember not being convinced by Bonkers 8, then listening to Scott's mix on Bonkers 9 and being blown away again...
Impulse_Response	Yeah great track. I wish the Bonkers 9 version were available instead of the version that got released.

Si Thompson	I found this the other day digging through some tunes.
Mental_Adam	The genre had a pretty good run during the 2000's in the UK There is so much you can mention and lots of things you can link to why the genre became a great alternative to the mainstream in the 2000s.
Si Thompson	Superb remix. Always liked Flyin' & Sparky's stuff.
9oh9	The Sy & Unknown mix of Drift was the one for me!

All the early CLSM stuff was brilliant (and the later stuff too tbh). I really miss that style, and the stuff that was coming out on labels like Raw Elements from the likes of Stargazer too; not-too-cheesy hard trance influenced, ravey, breakbeaty hardcore. It never really got the support it deserved, guess it got lumped in with "freeform" at the time which looking back wasn't really fair.

Man, this was a good time. Sam also said before we sent it out that we were going to cop a lot of shit for it. I miss the early 2000s.

9oh9	...There were actually a few tracks on that mix I was curious about, if anyone fancies helping out with a tracklist: here!

I prefer the vinyl release version too. I have replied to your ID post.
possys2	i like the piano, but still think the vinyl one is better

Both tracks are good but prefer the original version from the All System Go CD.
Samination	sounds more like a "in progress" version if you ask me. Definitely prefer vinyl version

Dont know if this is common knowledge but the main melody in that tune is actually a vengeance midi that was part of a midi pack back in 07-08 I believe. Al storm also used this midi in his remix of DJ Seductions track "The Devil": EDIT* just realised the Sy and Unknown version was 2006, so im confused. There was deffo a vengeance sample midi pack with this midi in it.
Si Thompson	The Sy & Unknown remix was released in May 2007 according to Discogs. I don't recall it being played in 2006. I picked it up in 2007 also.

Its on bonkers 16 which was released mid 2006. DJ Bounce, i cant remember, all i know is that it was part of a midi pack from vengeance. Maybe Al Storm can clarify ? I know he posts here now and again.
Anon.	Darwin was something else back in the late 00's, such epic tunes

Samination	Man, so much of the early 2000's are lost. I think people have been able to "source" or "update" more from the late 90's than they have from the early 2000's
Si Thompson	End of the 2000s, but I loved this track when it came out.

Anon.	Orbit1 AKA Sam Gonzalez never got the full recognition he deserved back in the day, and I believe the politics at that time played a part in that. He was miles above everyone at that time except maybe Gammer, who whether or not you liked him, you cant deny he made some good tunes back then.

And sure, almost no one could penetrate the "Top Tier" unless they had like prior connections with AATW or something...

Si Thompson	Always liked this Vibes & Hattrixx track.
Sulphurik	What a track this was! There was a Digital Re-Master in 2021
Sulphurik	Hadn't heard this one, on same release as Punk
Sulphurik	Came across this track & compilation. Hadn't heard of this compilation - from 2009. This sounds ok, seems to be one of the better tracks from it. It's one of the triplet style tracks. Listened to some other tracks on album, there are some poor tracks on it.
