Who do you wish had mixed on a Bonkers album but never was given the opportunity.

Really when you think about it, there were a lot of very talented dj/producers that would have done really well on there back in the day.

Seduction
Slipmatt
Stompy
Vinylgroover
Squad-e
Joey Riot
Druid
Fracus & Darwin
Al Storm

Are some that I think would have smashed it had they been given the opportunity when the series was around.

Yes those producers would have been good shouts for doing a mix. If there was to be another album in the series, Al Storm, Fracus & Darwin would be producers who would be contenders to be involved in it.

Yeah definitely Fracus & Darwin.
I'd add (Rob IYF) with Al Storm on the other disc.

Maybe Technikore on the 3rd disc too if there was a new album for today.

I guess the majority of the dj?s listed there did have their own compilations they featured on regularly anyway. For instance, Seduction was always on the Hardcore Nation series, Joey Riot was on a couple of Hardcore Heaven albums, Squad E on Hardcore Til I Die etc

Theres more of an argument for some of the more old school DJs when Bonkers was the main show in town, but around the time I really got into hardcore there were numerous series out there.

True! There were the Hardcore Heaven Albums that always varied the artists, Absolute Hardcore, Off Yer Nut, United Dance, Essential Happy Hardcore, loads and loads more to go around all of the DJs. Bonkers seemed to last the longest but it certainly wasn't the best...

EDIT:: And Get Smashed which I think Slipmatt mixed...

You must like your DJ vs DJ mixes

The DNA vs Demo could have been interesting in 1997/1998.

Lipmaster Mark, never heard of him

Do you think there are any Scooter songs that could have featured on Bonkers 1 or 2? Would be tracks from And the beat goes on and Our Happy Hardcore albums.

One track that could have worked on Bonkers 2 Sharkey's mix is Raving in Mexico.

Been listening to Cosmos (from And the beat goes on album), that was a great track. This track at 170 bpm might sound good
