"Omar Santana has long been acknowleged as one of the greatest hardcore DJs ever to set vinyl to turntable, consistently delivering pulse pounding aggressive techno with a flair that lesser DJs can only hope to come close to. This conntinous mix is no exception, delivering exactly what one expects from the genre. Raw aggression is the mainstay of this album, with flawless mixing between tracks ensuring a non-stop medley of gabber goodness"

The best hardcore I've heard!

"If you like gabber you wont regret buying this cd. This is the best hardcore cd you can get. With artists like Omar Santana, Chozen Few and Da Predator it shoes that hardcore still rules. It has only 15 tracks (most thunderdome cd's have 40) but I think it's the best 15 tracks I've heard. If you don't know what gabber is then you really have to get this one. It will have the hardest sound you've ever heard of."

This will make you move

"The latest release from Omar Santana and moonshine really hits the right nerve. Omar Santana has been an underground `Hardcore' DJ for a number of years now and his experience shows through in the mastery of this Hardcore CD. Now, not just a DJ anymore, Omar Santana has shown how he can produce and create his own `Hardcore' sounds. A total of six of the fifteen tracks are Omar Santana originals. This CD does not mess around. There are no cheesy tracks about love and dancing. It is all about head thrashing, mind-blowing hardcore Techno music. But want do you expect from a CD that has tracks like "Noise Havoc", "Sinister", "Vortex" and "Out of Control." And if you do like this one you might want to get your hands on another Omar Santana release from a couple of years ago under the same label. The Label is Moonshie and the CD is "Hardcorps.' If you are not already familiar with `Hardcore' than you might not know what you are getting into. Hardcore is a fusion of Heavy Metal and Industrial Techno. It gets part of its `Hardcore' designation from the beat speed. It averages around 150 BPM (beats per minute) for the entire mix. It is high speed and adrenaline charged. Thats right kiddies, this is not for wimps.Just a warning though. This CD is not for the faint of heart or for easy listening. It is...hard noise. I think it is some of the best that `Hardcore' has to offer for the new millennium. You may not agree with me so give it a listen and decide for yourself what you think. After all what do I know?"
