Isotonik - Different Strokes (I <3 this song so much)

L.A. Style - James Brown Is Dead (yes, we listened to this on the day he died  :lol:  :twisted: )

 That doesn't sound like classic rave stuff to me (been to a lot of early 90's underground raves). 5 times out of 10, you end up running from the police raids during the later hours of the rave. I bet the police loved it when fools ran off into whatever direction, half crazed on LSD or whatnot. Anyway, that sounds like Euro stuff.

Who is the complete loser who feels that he is enhancing each tack you posted by saying (lamely) "Back to the old school"?

You and me both, although I was into it more mid-90's...

That's the watermark...better at the beginning than in the middle, right?
