Hixxy & Sharkey ‎– Bonkers 2 - Now We're Totally Bonkers

In 1997, I emptied my copper jar, managed to scrape 12 quid together. I went to my local record shop, Vibes in Bury, UK and bought this. Still have to this day and love it to bits!

Hixxys mix is what you'd expect from the happy hardcore scene in 97, pure cheese and definitely not my cuppa. I was bored by about 96 of the happy stuff but Sharkeys mix is something else! Absolute quality Trancecore, Freeform or whatever you wanna call it from back then. I like the term Trancecore but not many did. For a MC who'd only been djing for 2 years if you believe the stories this is a quality mix with pounding beats and beautiful trance hooks and breakdowns all at around 175-180bpm and a foreshadowing to what Sharkey would go on to release and produce. Great stuff from the latter years of the last century.

The exclusive mix of 'Droppin' Bombs' is insanely good. It's dark, has a big Hip Hop and D&B influence, and a breakdown that gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.

Message me if you have a copy with the (unused) stickers for sale please

happy hardcore and banging beats at their very peak. A pleasure to have this in the collection.

Disc 1 - Was actually pretty good, tracks like 'My Way' and 'Peoples Party' are memorable.
Disc 2 - Around this time, Freeform was in its infancy, and this Disc shows some really great early examples such as 'Future Dimensions' or 'Revolution Pt. 1'

an album of champions, you'd be a tosser not to buy this
