Helter Skelter Presents United IN HARDCORE

RELEASED 19th June

Helter Skelter, the forefathers of UK Hardcore, present the follow-up to Hardcore Classics, an album that smashed all sales expectations, selling over 150,000 copies to date, highlighting a thriving demand for the electrifying sound of Hardcore.

Pulling together 3 of the longest-serving and respected DJ/Producers in the scene, Billy "Daniel" Bunter, Slipmatt, and Dougal, Helter Skelter present a detailed musical history of the party; with years 92-94 covered by the last album's mix master Billy Bunter, presenting an inspired blend of early breaks and acid house from Urban Hype, Prodigy, and Baby D.

Years 95-98 are overseen by the legendary Slipmatt, serving up a platinum platter of classic hardcore from the golden era of the genre. Anyone who honed their dance moves in an illegal rave or warehouse party—glow stick in hand—will be unable to halt the descent into laser-lit reminiscence as the frantically euphoric beats of Slip & Eruption’s "Sunshine," Alchemist & Fade’s "Keep On Trying," or Sy & Unknown’s "What Is a DJ?" cram the sound system.

Child prodigy and Helter Skelter lifer Dougal takes years 98 to present day, including some of the most upfront hardcore tracks currently rocking the scene—from his own production of "Through The Darkness," to Sy’s "Do We Have To Say Goodbye," and his own production currently taking the underground scene by storm, "Get Hyped."

One for both the kids and the older clubbers, United In Hardcore is steeped in the electrifying exhilaration that characterized the first album, recreating the ambiance of the Helter Skelter parties from the early 90s and the popularity that continues to transcend fashionable peaks and troughs in Dance music, making the genre what it is today—one of the longest-serving genres in UK Dance, holding some of the biggest and most sophisticated Dance events in the world.

If you’ve been hypnotized in the hardcore room, survived a night at 150bpm, spent your last penny on a glow stick, whistle, or dummy… if you remember the days of Vicks vapor rub, massage trains in the chill-out room, ice pops, cat suits, tape decks, and parties on motorway service stations, this album will bring back a few smiles.

It’s full on, and has the Hardcore Holy Trinity of approval—go dance!

I've managed to nick a screen grab with Bunter, Dougal and Slipmatt from a mate... sneak preview...if it's anywhere near as good as the last one - this one's 5 min long but the full uncut 15min version is available by putting CD 1 of the album into your PC and accessing the exclusive content... it'll be the best education you could ever hope for... the history of the scene and the sound we love coming from the mouths of those who were instrumental in setting it up, booking the acts, developing the talent and therefore the sound...it's got Dougal talking about setting up their speaker when he was 14!!!!
