Back To The Old Skool Happy Hardcore Music Compilation - Various Artists | Nostalgic Rave & Dance Party Tracks for DJs, Clubs, and 90s Music Lovers

I pre-ordered my copy from the UK as the release date was earlier than the State's site. If you are expecting "old skool" style mixing, such as the days of Bonkers or Happy2bHardcore, then you're not going to get what you expect on this album. The tracks are not all mixed as the old days; they have been edited, and the edits are more pieced together to create the transitions. Also, the tracks are kept in the slowest possible tempo they could be to still make it continuous.The tracks are all the anthems, but all the tracks have been edited by either shortening segments, or cutting out segments to make them shorter. If you've been a long time follower of the genre, it will feel weird hearing these songs cause you'll be able to spot all the edits as opposed to someone who has never heard these tracks.At the end of the day, it's a good collections of tracks, and I'm glad to see this genre getting some much needed love from such a large label as Ministry of Sound. Maybe other labels will jump on board and start releasing more 90s/2000s hardcore compilations.
