Battle Of The DJ's Vol.1 (Round 1 - Mixed By Slipmatt/DJ Vibes) - Various Artists

Advantages: excellent peice of happy hardcore memorabilia with a wkd track listing
Disadvantages: hard to find

...Well what can I say about this cd. I have been into rave music (happy hardcore) since 1993 and I have to say that this has some of the most classic hardcore anthems. The album is on 2 discs with the first being mixed by dj slipmatt and the second by dj dougal - 2 of the best djs of the time. I wasn't going to list all the tracks as ciao would say that I would be listing factual info from the product but will name them all anyway as ciao members think that the review would be better if you all knew what tunes were on the cd so here goes : CD1 - DJ SLIPMATT 1 - higher love - slipmatt remix 2 - the spill - demo ham & time 3 - keep on trying - alchemist & fade(slipmatt remix) 4 - innovation - dougal and mickey skeedale 5 - doesn't have to be like that - vinylgroover 6 - the carousel - dj demo 7 - I'm gonna get ya - dougal & eruption...

Advantages: X-Treme clubbing tracks - excellent!! :D
Disadvantages: None

...This album has to be one of the greatest that i have ever heard. Remixes of clubbing tracks made to be more hardcore. What a successful recipe! What you hear on this album has explicit and uncut lyrics from selected tunes so I warn those who are wanting to buy this. On this album you will hear tunes from Cisco Kid (yes, the uncut version) and Deja-Vu's Face Down Ass Up, Scooter, Drunkenmunky (the remix of Eminem's Without Me), Porn Kings, Flip & Fill, Dickheads, DJ Aligator Project, Voodoo & Serano, Special D, Eyeopener, N-Trance, BK, Slipmatt and many more. My favourite tracks are Special D's Come With Me, Cisco Kid's Pizzaman, Dickheads' Suck My Dick, Deja Vu's Face Down Ass Up, Scooter's Weekend, BK's Revolution and Slipmatt's Space. If you like hardcore, then buy this album. You'll be playing it for months or even years to come... Read review

Advantages: It is fan-funky-tastic
Disadvantages: None

...been further CD’s such as Kelly Llorenna – all clubbed up, which is another fantastic album and also Clubland Summer 2003 as a few examples. In total there are now eleven different CD’s to choose from in this range. Some of the tunes on CD are remixed cheesy chart songs, as you will notice from their titles, however with a bit of spinning and sound effects they are masterpieces! (“,) The CD’s (“,) In order to give you a taster and an insight into the music I enjoy and the songs I like I will talk about the artists and DJ’s I know the most and the songs which are favourite club anthems of mine and I will also mention a few that I don’t like and the reason why. Rather than write about all 38 tracks on the CD. It is worth noting at this point that all the songs are mixed into one another, they are not individual tracks. ** CD 1 ** 1... Read review
