This album has got to be one of THE best bonkers releases out at the moment, every mix has earned my high opinion.
Hixxy's mix isn't AS good as some of his previous mixes (e.g. Bonkers 9) but it's still a good blend of the nu-skool happy style. Sharkey's mix on Bonkers 12 has got to be my favourite of all his Bonkers mixes, it's just sooo listenable! All the tracks are different and no two sound alike. Exceptional tracks would have to be 'Can't Compete', 'Hitmen' and 'Hugger Mugger', which I found absolutely mind-blowing! Scott Brown's mix is also exceptional. His mix includes some great tracks like the hard-as-nails 'This Is How We Do It', with its hard kick and razor-sharp melodies, 'All About You', with its lush vocals and happy melodies and the floor-shaking 'Boomstick' with its bouncy bass and ear-bashing gabba rhythm. Marvellous. I found Breeze & Styles' mix a tad repetitive with the same sounds being used throughout, but nevertheless there are still some wicked tunes like '3000 Cycles', 'The One' and 'Flow'. Overall I found this release to top all of the nu-skool releases of Bonkers! All I can say is bring on number 13!!

Just about every song on this cd set is good. Hixxy's set is superb except he ruins "Just accept it" by bleeping out the lyric "crazy". Scott Brown has a spectacular set that is representative of his style. Breeze and Styles is the most vocal of the four disks, and probably the best. In fact the song "Flow" may be the best song on the entire set of cds. Sharkey pulls out all the stop as well to help deliver a monumental four disk set.

Great compilation, possibly the best since Bonkers 3 and without a doubt the best since Bonkers: The Rezurrection. The extra mix was an added incentive to buy this CD.

Hixxy's Mix: As strong as ever, full of amazing material and mixed brilliantly.

Sharkey's Mix: An amazing trip through Freeform Hardcore, constantly changing and morphing, never boring.

Scott Brown's Mix: A very strong selection of songs and great mixing makes this one of the best of the 4, Scott kicks it off with his Plus System sound and ties it up with some great Gabber.

Breeze & Styles's Mix: A good selection of music, but it starts to sound very repetitive after a while. Mixing is top notch, but I think more variation and more tracks like "3000 Cycles" by Dougal & Gammer couldn't have done any harm.

All in all Bonkers 12 is great value for money!
Highly recommended.
