As some users seem to like this style (which is quite eclectic and has evolved on its own as usual with diverse branches), the aim of this topic is to share and talk about tunes which try to recreate the oldskool hardcore sound from 1990 to 1994.

I'd like to start with...

Ben Venom - Don't Let Go (2010)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9oOD6tEcBM

2 Bad Mice - Gone Too Soon (2016). These lads were also rave legends back in the day

DJ Abo - Sunshine Through December (Stu & Nee Remix) (2006)

Not sure if it's relevant for this section but two moanths ago I recorded mix blending old skool tunes with the new ones.

A good example that nothing's dead regarding this sound, but still alive & underground

did you, by any chance, participate on the b2vos forum? I don't know why but your nickname rings a bell

Thanks mate, nice mix, I own most of the tunes of vinyl indeed (not the recent ones which are mostly digital). Bring it on!

Yes mate it's me on b2vos too
One way or another I'm in contact with all these nuskool producers & labels as well as old chaps who bring in on again!


Sharing some archives of my shows to download if you or any other likes to, including mostly this type of sound
There are some really great guest mixes & interviews in as well

tune! love the landlord stab section, it does feel very 1992. Is this remix unreleased? can't find it at discogs

https://thesupersonicarmy.bandcamp.com/ ... ouse-remix

thanks dude! its just self released as Glowkid has said. I dont specialize in that sound anymore, I did for a couple of years and subsequently put out an EP on Glowkids blog, check it out if you want to hear my earlier shit! ...its a bit sparse in places to be honest and ive ripped off a couple of massive samples but its a bit of fun for a quick vibe.

the warehouse mix of Believe is from 2015 i think..it was something i wanted to do for a bit as the original track had an old skool vibe to it. In the original I sampled the Rufidge Kru track (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJ3NhzrDUHg) for the vocal and wanted to elaborate on the sample, so I gave it a proper 92 twist. I had such fun producing that track! It felt so fun, first non serious thing id done in forever. I tried to give it that like 92 production too, have it a bit noisy, bit of an analogue feel.

I actually have a Roland W30 sat in storage in the studio, theyre beasts but fuck me are they a minor pain in the arse to use. Liam must have had so much patience back in the day (all producers did that being said, not just Liam)...My original plan was to write the remix on the laptop, then resample in sections it onto the w30, rebuild the beats as best I could, resequence the song and then re-record the output either onto a DAT or just back into the laptop via my Mackie analogue mixer and really give it an old skool feel. After about 4 hours of trying to resample sections of the track on the W30 I just gave up and put it back into storage

ah Sonic Fortress! fuckin the boys..!! used to speak to 2nzy and Bash loads back in the day, Damage Inc! Loved all that, the scene was buzzing in like 2005/06...fantazia radio and all that, i used to be on a few different forums chatting to loads of producers, some real good producers kicking about back then...I was doing 2nzys head in for about a year for me to remix one of their tracks...cant remember the name now, but it was a banger..., Fucker never did send me the stems

good lads them boys! the good old days eh
