Coming at you straight from the centre of the rave universe, Hardcore Energy presents the first volume of a brand new compilation series. Mixed by Origin8a & Propa, it's packed with a wide selection of killer tracks from some of the freshest names on the scene, as well as pulling out some stone cold classics from the record bag. The result is a perfect blend of old and new styles that celebrates the new skool and also pays homage to the foundations of UK dance culture. 'Hardcore Energy: Volume 1' covers all the bases. The likes of Samurai Breaks, Benton, LMajor, and Private Caller come through with some harder edge tracks boasting fat basslines, manic breaks, hoovers, and stabs. Burno, Cut & Paste, Future Flex, Martin Badder, and Hervé lay down the soulful chords and wailing vocals in their tracks, which are guaranteed to send any dancefloor into a state of euphoria. 4AM Kru, Pete Cannon, Dead Man's Chest, and Coco Bryce fire in some pure jungle flavours, and last but by no means least, artists such as Nookie, Vibes & Wishdokta, LTJ Bukem, DJ Seduction, and The Criminal Minds inject some essential 90s classics. This selection of just under 60 tracks from 50 artists is compiled and mixed by Origin8a & Propa and is essential for every hardcore raver. Whether you're an old skool head or new to the game, a jungle purist, or thrash out to 4x4, this compilation pulls all the styles of classic UK rave music together and is guaranteed to get you and everyone else on the dancefloor whipped up into a euphoric frenzy.

Jungle Cakes

Hardcore Energy Introducing (Vol. 5) is upon us. This series focuses on established artists alongside up & comers who are making innovative club music. Opening things up is Arkyn's dark yet soulful Jungle track 'Inna Dance', followed by upfront, pumping 4x4 banger, 'Reckless Daddy' by Minor Science & Seppa. Then comes in some Jungle from Deekline with 'Monkey Flip 'Em', before S.U.R.E. take the reins with their unique signature Rave sound on 'Touch Me'. Tim Clay joins the celebrations with the Rave-led, eclectic 2-step track 'Original Vibe', then suddenly Phorse enters with the potent Trance-tinted Techno power of 'Breaking'. 'Dublin Acid Crew' is a heavy dose of dextrous electronica & Acid from Sharpson & 2step.png, Outselect comes in with some bass-heavy 160 action on 'Dun Kno', and then of course we have Actual's glitchy, rolling, Footwork leaning 'Turn It Up'. Komai brings amen-power with 'Fill In The Blanks', swiftly followed by emotive, yet energy-fuelled Jungle on 'Ohm 1' from Walby. Lewis Aung switches it up with textured and dynamic House-led track D!AMONDS. Then, ending this journey through Rave we have a full Hardcore rinse-out on 'Hardcore Vendetta' by 'Squat Party'.
