If CDjay were to make a mix of that, it would be a mix with only one track on loop :P

You'd have to revive the scene before you could revive Bonkers!!
I'd have:
Ben Stevens doing a classics disc
Transcend & Cyrax doing a mix of remixes of classic trance tunes (like their Castles in the Sky remix)
Fracus & Darwin doing a set of tunes as good as or better than their remix of cube:hard's show me a sign
Cotts & Ravine doing what they do. They'd need 80 mins of decent material first though

The only answer. Otherwise it's like suggesting Abraham Lincoln as a replacement for Trump.
It *would* have worked in 2013, when we last tried. Now it's something that should only ever be considered if the surrounding situation is significantly healthier than it is.

When the music is bonkers again, then it will be time.
Doubt that will ever happen. I'd argue it wasn't so much the DJs that mattered somuch as the music that was being presented. It'd just be presenting 3 or 4 CDs of the same sound nowadays no matter which DJs and I don't want to hear a classics mix..

so in conclusion I'm just massively grumpy.
But right.

Taking my time to perfect the beat
To me at least, that is an awesome classics set, better mixed than I have ever heard from the so-called Top Tier.
Yes Ben Stevens is usually a Hard House artist but like a lot of people he can branch out.
Saying that some of his Hard House releases really do put a lot of Hardcore to shame yet are on par with earlier Hardcore in the sense of 'if you make tune, you do it properly'
It is a shame that Hardcore takes nothing from Hard House these days yet in the early 2000s there was that odd hint of borrowed ideas. Freeform and the early Trancecore came quite close at times yet of course Freeform was faster. Some even dared mix both styles together.
These days with Hardcore trying to be like a faster EDM sound it is too far removed from it's routes to really be called Hardcore. The funny thing is I have heard of 150 BPM releases. Hard House has that and sometimes even faster.
