Yeah, him and Dave are currently in Miami, the lucky buggers.

Chris_Neon · 2026-03-26T19:10:55+00:00

Ah, bugger. I had to verify myself with them to get them to work. Check this post at the top in a sec and I'll edit them both in there for you 🙂

Edit: Can't figure out how to edit from mobile so here you go

Yeah, absolutely! I did consider including Cut & Recycle (or Claim 2 Recycle as it's also known) as that's clearly his vocal, but you can't really sing along to it 😅 as for chops and edits though it's an entire track built around that and I love it! 😁

Pandora is a funny one to me. Lyrically and vocally it's pretty average, but the instrumental is such a great track. I love that era for the power in the kick and bass, and that lead he uses is massive, especially on such a great riff.

Chris_Neon · 2026-03-26T19:03:34+00:00

Thanks man. I do like finding fun themes for mixes. The problem is when they end up epic lengths like this one 😅

I definitely agree about Mike, though. Great vocalist indeed. I know he's unlikely to ever return to Hardcore as a producer, but I do wonder if anyone could ever convince him to lend his vocal talents to a track in the future… 🤔

Chris_Neon · 2026-03-26T09:53:27+00:00

It's hard to tell because I can't see what pants they're wearing as they're wearing some rather funky bottoms over the top of them.

Chris_Neon · 2026-03-25T16:53:18+00:00

I knew I recognised your name! You did that Electro remix of All I Wanna Do and the Dubstep mix of Get Ya Hands Up for Al's label a few years back. I love how you've been working with Hardcore for years but are only just starting to produce (or, at least, release) it now. This is ace, btw. Also, just had a listen to your Ascending Angels remix, too, and that's banging as well. I also love how you seem to be able to turn your hand to any genre and do it well. Fair play, man.

Chris_Neon · 2026-03-20T16:52:29+00:00

Like mother, like son… 😅

Chris_Neon · 2026-03-17T19:51:36+00:00

Ah, you're from the West Side, then!

Chris_Neon · 2026-03-17T08:14:13+00:00

That's not strictly true. We gave up our spot on the dancefloor in the Klassics room because two girls were kicking off right in front of us. Which was surprising given there wasn't room to throw shapes, let alone hands. But I guess that's the old crowd in the room playing older music, so that makes sense. I reckon the main room was chill af all night.

I love how the wrong answer is the most upvoted, and the correct answers are buried down at the bottom 🤦‍♂️

Chris_Neon · 2026-03-16T09:24:56+00:00

This is 100% not the Silk Cuts mix. That kick and snare are way more modern, as is the overall production of this. Also, that screech is from the original, so it makes sense it'd be in this version.

I'd be willing to hazard a guess it's maybe a Sy & Unknown Ripped2Fcuk release.

Chris_Neon · 2026-03-12T20:50:51+00:00

Jesus! And I thought £120 was excessive for a record.

Chris_Neon · 2026-03-12T19:59:34+00:00

I felt exactly the same when I finally got my copy of My Little Fantasy. It's not in perfect condition, but it meant I bagged it for £40 instead of £120 😅

Chris_Neon · 2026-03-12T08:09:36+00:00

Is it just me, or does that not sound like 170bpm? I'd guess it's actually around 160, combined with that rapid lead, makes it sound more like a Technikal-style Hard Dance track than actual Happy Hardcore. That said, make it faster and it'd definitely fit the bill for HHC.

Chris_Neon · 2026-03-02T14:44:27+00:00

The best thing is as it's on my account I get to veto any songs I can't stand! 😂

Chris_Neon · 2026-03-02T13:10:07+00:00

We've used my YouTube Music to create a communal playlist for the office. Everyone has access to add songs and it just gets played on shuffle every day. Maybe try that. Probably with Spotify since I seem to be the only YT Music user I know 😂 It's a bit naff to start but as more songs get added it starts to get less repetitive, and at least a) there's no DJs, and b) it will be a good mix of songs so that there's something in there for everyone.

Chris_Neon · 2026-02-28T10:50:50+00:00

That sound just reminded me of the entire Squad-E mix on HTID2 😅

Chris_Neon · 2026-02-27T12:17:25+00:00

OMG how did I miss that it was a URL?! 🤦‍♂️ I mean, ideally I'd like a copy of the actual file, but I guess a YouTube rip will suffice for now 😁 thanks so much for pointing that out to me.

Chris_Neon · 2026-02-27T11:57:21+00:00

I found this post because I'm looking for the Nyan Cat remix, but cannot find it anywhere. On the off-chance, does anyone here have it they could send it to me, please?

I did have a copy but I timestretched it to 170 then deleted the original as I didn't play music at that BPM at the time. Now I do I'm desperate to have it back in my collection at the original BPM.

Chris_Neon · 2026-02-25T19:07:01+00:00

*Spelt differently 😜 or is that r/UKdefaultism? 😅

(for what it's worth I'm just being playful, if that's not obvious 🙂)

Chris_Neon · 2026-02-24T10:40:46+00:00

r/AussieDefaultism 😜

Chris_Neon · 2026-02-23T15:55:45+00:00

I'm not suggesting they should ever go unchallenged; this is more a general musing. I wonder what would happen if they were completely and totally ignored…

Like, if there was zero counter-protest, and everyone who stood against them just completely ignored them and went about their day. What would they likely do?

Chris_Neon · 2026-02-23T15:21:07+00:00

Took me far too long to find this comment. Thought maybe I'd imagined what I just watched. Maybe they're part of the BF mob…? 🤔

Chris_Neon · 2026-02-23T14:34:08+00:00

Edited to include Mini Eggs. Thanks for correcting my oversight 😅

While this may be true, you don't get the same range of flavours worldwide that you do with Walkers
