This record used to get hammered on Kiss FM in early 1991, it was years later I discovered it was by the rave act Ratpack who put this out shortly before becoming a huge success on the rave scene. Unfortunatly their following productions were not quite as cool, something about lord of the dance and [...]
The Formula – Exploded
A beauty breakbeat bleep tune with some excellent piano action from 1991 on the defunkt Vinyl Solutions Record label, not one that has stood the test of time, and the production quality was a bit muddy, but still a great tune back in the day. Not much between the club and original mix, the bonus [...]
Freshtrax – Destruction (War Zone)
I remeber the first time I heard this record, laying on my bed as a teenager being taken away with the peacful lyrics and funky bassline from the War Zone mix of “Destruction”. Beat Farm Records was a small SW London label, and one that I never found any other releases of apart from this [...]
Tim Acid – Halloween Mix
With Halloween fast approaching I have had a dig about in the cellar of The Haunted Acid House and found a mix from 2004 that I recorded specially for Halloween, as usual created using Technics 1210′s a mixer and a bag of vinyl. This one leans heavily on the breakbeat techno sound from 1990-1991, a [...]

Tim Acid – Old Skool Electro, Techno, Acid and House Mix Live on Pirate Revival
Here is a live recording of a set on Pirate Revival from Feb 2006, as usual unplanned and live on two turntables and a mixer, and one I actually remembered to hit record at the start of the set. Expect a good spread of excellent tunes with some wobbly mixes, plenty of old skool techno [...]

This is Acid 1988
The following mix has more squelch than wellington boots at Glastonbury, sent in from Nick from the amazing oldskoolmixes.com website. The site is a collective of old skool mixes from Nick Cheshire, Rick Stenhouse and Sean O’Keefe that lean towards the old skool hardcore sound, also they put up for free mixes from the Legendary [...]
Watch your bass bins I’m telling ya!
It has been a while since I have put up some “Old Skool Hardcore” sounds from the 1991-1992 era, a time when white gloves and vicks vapor rub had took a hold on the party scene, I can even remeber some people with baby dummys in their mouths what the fuck was that all about. [...]
