Ha! Sod it, this is an old school section, and it should follow the old school ethos and celebrate all types of music from back then!
I love my old skool hardcore mate, probably more than anything else. Dj's wise it had to be Easygroove, Ratty, Slipmatt (people forget he used to play amazing sets!), Seduction...I tended to prefer the dj's on the banging tip rather than the jungle one.
Producers - too many to mention...Noise Factory simply for the amount of anthems they had...Jack Smooth and Kev Bird for their Basement tracks, which still sound fresh today, Manix/4 Hero, NRG, Desired State, Menace Makes 3 etc...but then what about all those one-off anthems like Sunnyside Up EP, X-Psych-Ting, Break Of Dawn, Right Guard etc etc.
Those were the days mate! Only downside was I was too young go out raving then :lol:
