Founded by Patrick De Meyer and Olivier Abbeloos outta Belguim's hardcore rave scene of late-'80s and early-90s, Anasthasia by far was the duo's standout and everlasting tune. A true underground rave hit gone large through it withstanding the tests of time, T99 as a group have been inactive for at least the last 20 years, receiving a new injection of life from the super fresh Arkham Audio of Cri Du Coeur. Employing a star studded cast of remixes that includes the likes of Chris Liebing on a funky rave flex, Truncate who goes down a midwest tribal route and Oliver Deutschmann who gives "Anasthasia" a worthy technofied remix; Dave Clarke chimes in with some dusty and agitated riot rave, with the Exterminador Eurodance mix a sweet hidden bonus too!

It's time for us to dive right back into the rave with this next release from Hardcore Energy as Origin8a & Propa deliver a top quality new LP drop, featuring 13 incredible creations. As a selection, there is no doubt for us that this is up there with the best breakbeat releases of the year, with tracks like 'Tell Me' and 'Massive' giving us a serious nostalgic taste of rave-ready energy, alongside the more introspective sound design of 'Blow Your Mind' and 'The Theme'. The thing that takes this project to the next level though is the fabulous selection of remixes that have been very cleverly assembled, seeing the likes of Warehouse, Benton, Private Caller, MKII and Benny Page all getting involved throughout to spice up the tracklisting. Overall, it's a top quality body of work, exploring the full breadth of the breakbeat sound and we couldn't recommend it highly enough!
