Yeah, bonkers 12 was my 2nd hardcore album ever and I have amazing memories when I first heard it in greece (holidays). All those tracks from Hixxy, Scott Brown, Breeze & Styles... I was blown away. Its still a crime that he didnt released it by now...................

Agree this was an amazing tune and imo stood out like a sore thumb on that poor hixxy mix. Scott Browns mix on bonkers 12 was my favourite by quite a distance and its a shame that Scott hasn't come close to making tunes of that standard since that period of time.
This reminded me of another hixxy tune that I don't think ever got released from clubland hardcore 3 - Take me with you. Was also a class tune.

Compared to his mixes on bonkers 9,10 and 11 I thought his mix on 12 was very poor. Probably because Breeze and Styles had their own mix on 12 so used a lot of tunes that hixxy otherwise would have included.

Got to agree with Jamie on this one - this track was a masterpiece among a relatively average set of other tunes on that Hixxy mix.
The point about Breeze & Styles maybe taking some tracks from his potential mix is a good one - hadn't thought of it like that.

The breeze and styles mix from bonkers 12 had some amazing tunes on it but I remember thinking that they all sounded very similar so as a mix I don't think it was very good. If it had just been the standard 3 CD's from hixxy, scott brown and sharkey then Hixxy's mix would of been up to its usual standard, as I imagine he would of used all of the best tunes from Breeze and Styles as well as the good ones on his mix

Legendary track from Bonkers 12. Did this not get released? Amazing to think it didn't - SO good!
It probably wasn't released yet, because the melody is a rip-off of a Trance/Hands-Up track approx 10 years ago (Damn it! One day I really need to copy my music files from my old PC to this one). Or the Trance track was a rip-off from Hixxy? I don't know!

The only reason it was never released is because it was produced by Hixxy. The amount of tunes he has been involved in that never got released is frightening, some quality tunes as well. Take a look (see what I did there ;-)) at his mix on clubland hardcore 4 for example, there must be about 10 tunes on that mix alone that never seen daylight and imo that was one of his best mixes in recent years

Now you say that, I think I may have heard that before? Possibly? If you find that track, let me know!

Don't know that tune man. Don't mean the famous 'Forever', do you? Don't reckon it sounds especially similar :-/

lol, very clever. But yes, I agree - that edition of the series is by a country mile the best ever. And it's fcuking irritating tracks like New Day, Be The One, Dark Skies etc. haven't been released.
