It's not especially my bag, but 2:13 to 4:30's got something.

Been a while since I added new tracks to the playlist. Found these on the Strictly Hardcore - Illegal Rave compilations, which I can't believe I didn't check until now. It's fairly underground (rough) sounding, but all the more real for it. :slick:

(2nd playlist)

Time Syndicate - Rock Wit Me (In Ya Face Mix)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsVxZfxdMas

(3rd playlist)

Fantasy UFO - Headstrong (Techno Basshead Mix)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3h-yL1icLI

(SA playlist)

Cultural Assault - Step Up (Boom The Bass Box Mix)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjYLw4tXxa8

Telekom Electronic Beats finally did an oldschool rave ("UK Hardcore") episode of their long-running Blind Test series:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjIwOTKZ-ok

I was only able to correctly guess one - the Manix track. :P Though I have heard some of the others before.

All the tracks they used are bangers, but not really consistently intense enough for the playlist. They did a very good job of highlighting 'the good parts'.

Great lineup of guests too, with some real names from the era.

Blind Test

Thanks for posting, that was fun. I ‘knew’ all the track, that is to say I heard them before. But remembering names is becoming harder and harder.

I already have a different remix in the playlist, but this one's pretty solid too:

Well, that's definitely closer. Nothing remotely hardcore about it, though. Feels like an attempt to sell rave to a very mainstream audience.

This too:

I once met a guy at a party who was in a band that did a toytown techno song as a response to Sesame's Treat using samples from the theme to the old Rupert The Bear cartoon. I definitely remember having heard it at the time, but Google gives me nothing on it. Does it ring bells for anyone?

There's another track on that EP using Marilyn Monroe samples that's pretty dope - it's going in the playlist.

Lemme check my Google-fu...

code:
sesame's treet takeoff
"sesame's treet" takeoff
"sesame's treet" "inspired by" OR "based on"
"sesame's treet" "response"
"sesame's treet" "rupert"
"rupert the bear" "samples"
"rupert the bear" "samples" -lush -miller (<-- removing common results; that got it)

the piano near the end kicks rear end and it gets me when any modern producer of breakbeat/jungle/happy hardcore remembers that it's okay to slip some in every now and again

This Pinkpop Archive youtube channel has been posting a really eclectic array of 90s and early aughts concerts filmed by professionals.

Here's an Underworld set from 1999:
