Living in the eastside of the Netherlands and musiclover since a very young age. The strangest thing about the music I loved in my youth was that I liked instrumental parts more than vocals. I grew up in the 80's with a lot of stuff which they played on the radio and the records which my mother played. Although my mom likes country & western, reggea, rock 'n roll and blues she never influenced me to listen to the same music. And because I always liked instrumental music it wasn't a big suprise that housemusic shocked my world . It was like my life changed in one little second when I heard for the first time tunes like M|A|R|R|S - Pump Up The Volume on the radio. Damn....great time when I step back to the past... I got more addicted and more addicted to the sound which contained a funky pumpin' rhythm, a rollin' bassline and a loopin' tune which never seem to end and in 1993 I went every weekend to my favorite recordstore to listen to the newest cd's which came out and recorded every housetune which I heard on the radio. In 1997 I started buying vinyls and this became a real addiction. I now have about 10000 vinyls, 350 cassettes and 450 cd's and the collection is getting bigger and bigger. I like all kinds of styles, but deephouse, detroit techno and old gabberstuff from 1992 - 1994 will always be my favorites.

Various - Trance Atlantic Highways - ESP Volume 4 - 29-Feb-08 04:56 PM
This is definitely one of my favorite trance-cd's of alltime. ESP Records belongs to one of my favorite recordlabels from the past, because they've released a high amount of quality releases back in those days. You can hear this quality back on this cd. It's a real shame that some of the tracks never made it (to be released) on vinyl like The Nighttripper - Keep On Rising track. A powerfull yet relaxing track to listen to and to me one of the best tracks Orlando Voorn ever made. Unfortunately the label defunct eventually and so did good trance music in my opinion.

If you're talking about oldschool rave cd's, this is one of those which has got to be mentioned. It was sold in a time when there wasn't an oldschool revival yet, because people hardly talked about oldschool (I even think nobody talked about oldschool in 1994).
Because not everyone was interested in oldschool stuff from the early days in those days, not many of these cd's were sold (or pressed). I hardly saw one when it came out. My own recordstore sold two of this one and that was it. I was one of those lucky ones who could buy this cd.
Both cd's include all the big rave classics which you want on a cd like this. From dark spooky tranceanthems to techno crowd teasers to housy dancefloorfillers. They're all there.
Dano and Jeroen did a great thing when it comes down to the mixing part (allthough I think there were made some edits in the studio). The drive on these two cd's goes on and on and on, which make it feels like you're at a big rave party from the past.
This one is worth hunting down allthough it's rare and can reach prices up to 50 euro's (about 70 dollars). A true oldschool collection will never be complete without it.

Although this record is all about the remake of Gerd's "Vorpal Blade" there is also a great remake on the flipside of the record. It kinda samples an old track from Larry Heard called "Stars" produced under his Mr. Fingers alterego in 1988. Just Imagine "Stars" a bit faster with a big pumpin' rhythm. An excellent track to use in uplifting techno sets.

When hardcore music was losing it's popularity in the late 90's and a new style of hardcore music was slowly introduced to the public it didn't get a lot of attention. This label also had that problem. Not many records were sold when producers started releasing records on this label. Because most of them stayed for sale for months in the shops, you could find them in the bargain bins in some shops.
I had some of these records and I had to sell them for only 3 up to 10 guilders (about 1.70 up to 6 dollars) if I wanted to get rid of them. You could still even get some of these records around the end of 2001 / beginning of 2002 like Endymion - Demonsworld completely new at online shops like the one from Rige Entertainment.
Then around the end of 2002 when hardcore music became more and more popular the records dissapeared from all these shops and the prices were getting higher and higher.
Men From Mars, The* - Live From Mars E.P. - 17-Mar-07 09:55 PM
This has got to be one of the best records which Dave Lee has produced, beside of the fact he made this record with Andrew Livingstone. One the a-side we here the famous discogroovesounds which Dave has used for many of his other productions. So I wasn't suprised that he was part of the team which made these songs, until I heard the b-side. I was totally amazed when I heard those tracks. I have heard a lot of stuff from him, but I hardly heard such deep tracks before which were produced by him. Because I heard some deep tracks from Andrew before (for example: his Lifeforce records) it could be that Andrew did most of the work for the b-side, but this is only a speculation.
My favorite track is 'Tribes Of Mars'. This one goes very deep and has a great tribalistic beat. I can't imagine it was produced in 1995. It sounds so fresh, that it could have been released on the Large label (for example) just some months ago.
