There are some CD's that you will always look back at fondly as they started your love for music and this is one of mine! I remember my mates at school lending me this when I was 14 and it started a love for fast kickdrum music that has lasted 12 years so far.

Back in 96, before happy hardcore went down the pan completely, this CD was a strong representation of everything that was good about cheesy hardcore. The Slipmatt mix in particular is just perfect, the anthems of 96 all rolled into one energetic mix complete with a bit of simple scratching and the unreleased Hixxy remix of 'Funfair', which unfortunately never saw the light of day. 'Surrender' by Eruption is a personal favourite, the riff in the middle of the track will still sound great in 20 years. 'Party People' by Slipmatt & Eruption is another perfect hardcore track, complete with interesting Slipmatt percussion and recognisable stabs.

The rest of the mixes are also loaded with personal favourites, I could honestly talk about them all day but I won't! In short, this represents completely the sound of happy hardcore, when it was innocent party music without the trance presets of the 2000's. Just amazing.
