Back in October this year I was kindly asked by Jnks to produce an Old Skool mix with him for broadcast on Dutch radio station Sonicradio.nl. These days the tunes that taught me to initially DJ in the very early 1990s still sit tightly on the mantlepiece. I dont play Old Skool much, but its a pleasure to spin here and there. Especially for those nostalgic purposes :)
So here we have one hell of an old to new musical journey. My half of this mix begins with tunes from classic labels such as Impact Records, Remix Records and Kniteforce! The tunes span from 1991-1995. By the 70minute mark in this mix, Jnks takes over the turntables bringing in his Newer Happy Hardcore anthems from 2005-2006. So its the old with some very new!
I hope it brings a smile to some peoples faces who know this vibe Its just noise to some people but to me its where it all began Where computer technology was limited with no advanced software like these days. Enjoy

My part of the mix starts out gentler than usual progressing towards some hard & high BPM tunes. It was nice to work with my mate Progression and show everyone the two sides of Happy Hardcore Old and new! I hope that everyone else enjoys this spread of alternative tunes too! Comments & feedback are welcome in Finnish and English! There'll sure be more to come!'
PS: Thanks to Koshiyoka for hosting the mix.
