< LOST & FOUND _ BOX 7 - 2008 >

Instead of putting the "usual suspects" in my mixes, I'm going up to a hidden level in the game.

A concept that's all about those special edits, free releases, crazy bootlegs, rare vinyl rips, cool remixes, obscure B-sides, unreleased tracks and other (pretty) unknown classics....

I believe these tracks also deserve a platform, for you... to (re)discover those forgotten gems.

Every month I will dig in my boxes with dusty records, to pick out ten golden classics from a certain year and put them in a mix for ya!

Enjoy the 7th mix with tracks from the year 2008...

Tracklist;

01 - Scope DJ - Take On My Bootleg

02 - Abyss and Judge - Shadows

03 - Brennan Heart meets Clive King - Wooloomooloo

04 - Low-E & Alter Egosz - Around Us (Silvio Aquila cut)

05 - d'Stylerz - Helpfull Bus

06 - Haze - Suffecation

07 - Hardstyle Mafia meets Alphaverb - Takin' Over!

08 - E-Fect - Glorification (Activator & Zatox mix)

The end of the roaring nineties was near....

A decade of dance evolution stood the test of time.

It's 1998 and it was finally time for the age of reverse bass.

Some people will say Mauro Picotto developed the typical round 'whoomp' sound, others will say Flamman & Abraxas was the first with their track Used & Abused back in 1995. But this typical sound became a trademark of what is known now as the genre 'Early Hardstyle'.

Mauro Picotto used this sound quite often and so other Italian dj's, Hardtrance dj's from Germany, Hardhouse producers from the UK and the Netherlands copied the sound. And from this mixture of music, came the birth of Hardstyle. Q-Dance coined this name in 2002, made from the words 'hardcore' and 'oldstyle'. Q-Dance started these uptempo events after the glory days of Hardcore in 2001, to fill in the gap. People were in need of something new, fresh and exciting and Q-Dance answered the call successfully.

This is 'THE AGE OF REVERSE BASS'

Another project by Silvio Aquila - your guide in these chronicles of the Early Hardstyle period from 1998 up to and including the year 2005.

I feel bad for the people which attended shortly and wanted to attend the event. All the best wishes and strength for the visitors and the organisation. With this in mind, I wanted to do something for the people... Especially for those who were excited about the unique b2b between Yoji and Scot, a once in a lifetime thing right?!

So I made this special Yoji Biomehanika vs Scot Project mix! Not just one hour... but 2,5 hours to ease the pain a little bit guys...

Hope you like the mix and lifts your spirits up! 💌
