Hardcore DJ mixes from the early-to-mid 1990s, restored from original cassette tapes and pirate radio recordings. This is where it all came from. UK hardcore , the music of the first wave of rave, was euphoric, chaotic, and completely its own thing before it splintered into jungle, happy hardcore, and gabber. This collection captures that moment: the breakbeats, the pitched-up vocals, the piano stabs, the energy of a scene that was making the rules up as it went. Sourced from promo cassettes that documented the rave scene at its most raw. All recordings cleaned up and remastered from analog sources.
