Out of the gates of Beekse Bergen comes the official Decibel 2008 3CD compilation. This year Hardstyle, Hardcore and Hardtechno were chosen to embody the mighty sound of the Decibel festival. Compiled and mixed by a total of 4 men who each on their own (and together) represent the cream of the crop of their genres.

Hardstyle heavyweights Zany & The Beholder teamed up and signed on for the first disc. As you can expect from these industry dominators this juicy mixed CD will suit every hardstyle fanatic out there. Containing loads of new material by top artists the likes of DJ Isaac, Max Enforcer and Zero Vision, mixed with a selection of current hardstyle floor fillers. Off course Zany & The Beholder can also be found on the CD with their smash hit “Euphoria” and the superb hardstyle remix of the hardcore classic “Arise” by Bulldozer Project. The official Decibel 2008 anthem “Bleeding for the harder styles” also produced by Zany & The Beholder ends the first disc in true Decibel style.

Disc 2 features “the godfather” Paul Elstak bringing with him a superb mix of hardcore hits like “Come as one” by G-Town Madness & The Viper, “Let’s get it on” by Art of Fighters & Endymion, Paul’s recently released mash-up “Offensive Trilla” and Tommyknocker’s brand new remix of the Endymion’s all-time hardcore bomb “Payback”. All fluidly mixed with classic floor fillers like “Locked Down”, the"Antimix’’ by The Masochist and “Zombie”. Paul perfectly combines the old with the new and blends it all into a unique and hard hitting mix.

With hardtechno taking its place as a more and more prominent style on Dutch festivals, Decibel found main player Sven Wittekind and allowed him to take us into the world of hard hitting techno on the third disc. Sven himself is represented with some of his own magnificent work ( "Mamoru" / "I Stay Hard"), and combines this with ear piercing tracks of artists like Spark Taberner, Space DJz and Robert Natus! Once you press play this sound on this disc rages forward like an uncontrollable train that doesn’t stop until the very last moment. Intense !!

All together a must have release for all who visited Decibel 2008 and everyone who likes the harder styles of dance music !

Dig very deep into your memory and try to link the following three things to each other. Snap's "Rhythm Is a Dancer", Denmark becoming European soccer champion and a booming period for the famous club Parkzicht. Indeed, we are talking about 1992! A turbulent year for the flourishing “house music” which was taking the Netherlands by storm.

Named after the very successful “1992is4you” events organized by b2s, comes a raving 2CD compilation mixed and compiled by Stanton, the one and only true oldschool master. What makes this release really stand out from all the other countless oldschool CD’s that have gone before it, is its tracklist. This is no common smash hit overview, this is oldschool at its very best. Stanton dug very deep into his record collection to pick out all those long forgotten but utterly brilliant classics.

Sublime CD for everyone who wants to hear more than just “Pullover”, 88 to piano and “The ultimate seduction”.
