Why do these people write articles about something they so obviously hate?

It doesnt make sense to me,how about you??

The article made me laugh really.......

 

see... I returned to tapes shortly after they went out of style, say in the early 2000s. When I started partying (at raves) most of the local music was on cassette; and not just in LA... It was like that in Denver too.

Check out this YouTube channel for proof! It's got every rave mixtape you can think of, and even features a search bar!

Thank ya bud!!!!!!


Anything analogue is superb!!!

 

Your computer is digital, as is the whole internet.

A Youtube video showing proof analog is better when everything on youtube is digital is kinda like crazy stuff, isn't it?

 

Cassettes are making a comeback? No thanks. They sucked! And using technology from a time when music was better isn't going to make crappy contemporary music better, although you won't be so upset when it melts on your dashboard.

 

Cassettes Should Stay Dead, No Matter What Urban Outfitters Says

LOL



That happened to my 1st Dj Tron cassette in 2000. It fried on the dashboard and I was sure it was a sign...

EDITed to remove youtube*

(you don't need to listen to DJ Tron)

 

This is true.

 

Why? Tron is a HARDCORE LEGEND. May he RIP!

 

lol.. all the 666 puts me in a headlock!

Sorry. I had a religious upbringing. I used to be really superstitious about his tapes. Literally*

I had to make myself rock out to them. That was some of the first techno I'd heard. This was around 2000 and the stuff wasn't as mainstream as it is now. There was Fatboy Slim, and like Crystal Method but I wasn't yet into their sound. Chemical Brothers... Anyway, I was truly afraid that the sounds were satanic!

So that post was my way of saying 'you don't have to be afraid'.

 

I love that Hardcore was your first intro to techno. Mine too! But for me it was more like Happy Gabber... I picked up a Happy Hardcore Foundation cd by Brisk at the mall in 98 and the obsession began.

Honestly, it still hits right for me. Any other Hardcore mixtapes made their way in your hands? Just seeing someone mention Tron lit me up!

 

Check out noize suppressor and anger fist

 

No, not really. Oh yeah... one. Nightmares from Rotterdam. It's a compilation or something. It might've been on Moonshine. Let me see...

Classic!

Hardcore, Gabber, Happy Hardcore, and the like kept quite the loyal fan base in the late 90s and Early 00s in the Northeast, Midwest, and even as far south as Atlanta. It’s still going strong in Europe and the UK, but not so much in the US. I remember it didn’t matter where you went to a party... From NYC, to DC, to Atlanta, to Lexington, to St Louis, to Minneapolis, to Dayton... If there was a Hardcore room, it was a lot of the same faces. I miss that.

I actually still have a few tapes from that time!

 

I miss it too. I wasn't into hardcore when I went out; only at home, or in the car. I'm more of a Happy Hardcore person too (I know a lot of ravers hated that) and thought it fit really well with the overall PLUR/raver ethos...

Yea, there were hardcore rooms at every party. I wasn't as into the music then as I am now - I didn't have the music appreciation skills back then.

 

Yes people dont realise it.... The puttijng it on digital media ruins its analoguesness....


I love cassettes!
