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!
