Ok might be having a bit of a midlife crisis…but my commute to work really does need a kick.

So

Any must haves for upbeat music?

How retro do you want to go?

This one always reminds me of finishing sixth form… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DM4X5Oh27hc&feature=related

I really need to go through my vinyl collection and mp3 all my old Hard House and Hard Trance vinyl. That would really sort you out.

Both spot on and uploaded….

Insanity…blimey that is going back…was that 89?

try the sean tyas podcasts

Where are they?

Where can I get some of the early 90’s dreamscape and eclipse sets?

Might find a few on dnbshare.com.

I really need to go through my vinyl collection and mp3 all my old Hard House and Hard Trance vinyl. That would really sort you out.

Same here, but its the thought of going through over 300 records!

What era are we looking at? (United Dance!?)

DJ Seduction – Move Ya Body
DJ Hixxy Toytown
Forces & Styles – Heart of Gold

Guess what I’m listening to when I get home!
Classics!

Some good old school stuff in Rumour Records…The Old Skool Masters i think the series is called.

Hmmm toytown and heart of gold – now you’re moving into the realm of full on happy hardcore cheese. 😛

Fat Controller – In Complete Darkness. Used to love that track, it was a oasis in a big pool of cheese.

Back to the old school. Bassheads. Total classic – many fond memories of a misspent youth 😉

Hmmm toytown and heart of gold – now you’re moving into the realm of full on happy hardcore cheese.

Yup, back in the day, where you couldn’t tell if you were listening to D&B or Happy Hardcore! 😀

Maybe its a little hardcore… How about these:
Finally – Ce Ce Peniston
Happy Clappers – I Beleive
Usuru – Open your mind
Killer – Adamski
Atlantic Ocean – Waterfall
On a Ragga Tip – SL2
Prodigy – Out of Space
Moby – Go

once again I give you the link that is ONLY FOR THE HARDCORE

lots of classic mixes for download on this site

hardly upbeat BB

i reserve Techno for faster Road rides

the answer to all your techno dreams lies here my friend

WARNING – HIGHLY ADDICTIVE WEBSITE

haha don’t care if it’s commercial or anythin, one of my favourite tunes of all time, all about the big snare with loadsa reverb!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4K8OcWHCHjs

Michael, you are an extremely bad person for posting that link.

Sweet mother of God! I only have 36GB left on this disk and there are sooooo many mixes on that site!

Damn you!

hardly upbeat BB

You don’t get more upbeat than Strings of Life!

check these out:

steve lawler ‘dark drums’
Quiver ‘transport 5’
pole folder ‘ zero gold’
layo & bushwacker ‘night works’

Found myself ‘singing’ this the other day

Dunno why Bush is at the start.

One and only Dominator

For the end.

actually you are tight BB – there are some uplifting ones in there. Jeff Mills and Aphex twin might mess with your head a bit though. As will Plastikman, i think if i listened to spastik on a road ride i’d go into some kind of irretrievable trance. i might try listening to that and Roman Flugels ‘Gehts nock?’ on a ride and see what happens

That Rebel MC tune is awesome, one of my all time favourites.

Great listing BB: going to have dig out my old Red Planet vinyl now!

A more uplifting Oakenfold set:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_3JkfNU-ew

and Dave Clarke in banging techno mode:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CvkwoX5R4A

FYI:

Roman Flugels ‘Gehts nock

Indeed.

of course you’d need the noch-a-pella mix for the full on trance state

Off to see Redshape doing a live set tomorrow night 8)

saw him in Berlin at the kunsthaus taschels squat/rave/arts centre

rather good

Underground Resistance ‘Final Frontier’

Ancient – and it still sounds like the future.

Yes. You simply cannot beat Underground Resistance.

had the pleasure of bending ‘Mad’ Mike Banks’ ear for an hour or two at a Model 500 gig last year. 😳 It was also quite funny when I turned around and Derrick May was standing behind me.

My all time favourite UR track
