retrorave - Living In the Past by Manix

news that Manix are releasing an album of "new-old" hardcore entitled Living In the Past has got me all confused

as the author of Retromania, I deplore it

as the author of Energy Flash, I adore it

blurb from the website: "A return to the original sound of Hardcore/Jungle Rave from one of the leading artist at Reinforced Records. Produced by Marc Mac of 4hero, this stunning 10 track album is full of the same energy and style that made Manix so crucial to DJs and Ravers of the era.   Packed with all new original fresh tunes but still sounding like a lost recording from 1993, anthemic pianos, big bass lines and breaks." 



sounds sweet 'n' ruff though doesn't it?

(via Blog to the Old Skool)

that triffic 91 hardcore set from DJ Dara  (of  NYC jungle scene / Breakbeat Science cru renown) that i linked to before (first aired on Jungletrain. then posted by Blog To the Old Skool)  is now up again at BttOS but this time it's at 320 Kbps and with a proper track list to boot

triffic old skool set from the great Dara of NYC jungle scene / Breakbeat Science renown --it's a guest set midway between an also-tasty mix of old skool/jungle from Blog to The Oldskool's Pete,  on the latter's regular Jungletrain radio show
