Notes

"A flame that burns twice as bright, lasts half as long"

this sums Tony up for us as a family, he truly was
a bright flame and we miss him very much.

one great comfort is meeting so many people that also
loved him especially you, his fans, so this one is for you.
Let's keep him alive with the music he loved.

So "ARE YOU ALL READY?!"

Long live Tony de Vit - The Lord Of The Dance.

God bless

Jayne and Ray de Vit

I think this track is one of the defining moments of hardhouse, from my relative experience, it is the cornerstone of the genre. Tony De Vit and Simon Parkes produced a magic piece of music here, from the hard hitting bass line, to that pulsing sound that kicks in, to the blistering build up where it delivers everything you thought and hoped it would. I am particularly fond of the fact that just when you think things are winding down, it gives you another dose of the good stuff! This is stripped down, solid, bangin' hardhouse from the masters.
Rated 5/5

I can't believe that nobody has commented on this tune! This is possibly the best hard dance track of all time. Along with 'The Dawn' the best hard dance track ever made in my opinion. 'Are You All Ready' is the original hoover track which made hard house what it is today. If you've ever been in a club such as Polysexual or Sundissential and heard this played at around 5am you'll understand why this tune is loved by myself and so many others. It defines the scene. It has that i don't care attitude of still being up at 5 the next day and having no worries about people thinking yu're nuts and dancing like a complete wally! No other hard dance tune (except 'The Dawn') comes close to topping this piece of audio art. This is an absolute classic that any fan of hard dance MUST have in their collection.
