As far as DJ Rankin goes, I saw someone post this under on of the Truth About Rankin videos:
Actually Rankin had the chance to play regular gigs and co-produce original tracks (or at least remixes that were cleared with the original artist) but on every occasion was a complete twat to people. Now he plays at 'old skool' nights at universities in Ireland. For some reason loads of people in ROI grew up thinking he was a famous DJ when he only played a handful of actual DJing gigs his entire life. Most or all of them at Under-18s events.
You seem to know a disturbing (inappropriate?) amount about him dude!
illiterate twat, you missed what I said in the 2nd line
Wasn't me who put up that bit of knowledge, it was a post that I copied and pasted from the comments pages on that Truth About DJ Rankin YouTube video.

How do most people know about this stuff anyway?
I will freely admit that as a young teenage pirate using Limew*** for everything I encountered a lot of tracks tagged as being by Cammy/Rankin/etc. while performing some incredibly vague searches for "techno" and the like. As a metalhead, everything that doesn't involve real instruments is "techno".
Anyway, I always assumed that knowledge of these little rip-off merchants was restricted to a fairly small subset of society (e.g. typical P2P users).

I remember Lime_wire well it had loads of stuff from albums put onto it I knew some people used to download stuff and not even know the next track from a mixed CD.
Rankin was awful though, some of it was just sped up and nothing else, no attempt at any production and could even be made in just 10 mins and within 30 mins was being download across the world

If you typed in Happy Hardcore you would come across the usual suspects like "Children of the Night", "wonderful days", "I'm Ravin"... you get the picture.
I remember that dj cammy and dj rankin tracks came up as well.
I was just curious on mentioning them as it's been a few years and ever wondered if they actually became anything

Never did Vibes....
Whoops.
I believe that the said tune was sped up and released under a false name so Vibes could then remix it. It is really the only known 'Old Skool' tune to ever be treated in such a way though

No, I think both of them are suffering from writer's block.

Vibes didn't remix it though. It's the exact same tune.
