Sublight: “Gabber in E Major” Classic DJ set
Side A. Bouncy incredibly upbeat hardcore, these were the years of ID&T’s Thunderdome compilations and the many amazing labels they drew from like Pengo, KNOR, Babyboom, Dwarf, Samurai, BZRK and so many others. As a special bonus, MC Rage’s “Fuck Macarena” graces this mix, putting it right to the edge of cheesy.
