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! CD1 Mixed by Dougal Dougal & Gammer - Get Hype Dougal & Gammer & MC Smiley - Ordinary People DJ Yanny Pres.

interviews Are you United in Hardcore? Dougal reveals all!
Frantic Benz posted a record in Interviews
So, you were chosen to mix the 1999 present disc of Helter Skelter's new United In Hardcore compilation. When did you first encounter the world of Helter Skelter? I first encountered Helter Skelter in 1989 at Milwaukees, Bedfordshire. Which of their events do you remember most fondly? You know what, all of them were so amazing, I don't think I could forget any of them. Do you miss the days when there were lots of large scale events on up and down the country all the time? Those days were very special, I don't think they could ever be topped. Which of the tracks on your mix hold particularly special memories for you and why? Get Hype holds great memories for me, it was when I realised that me and gammer had cracked the new sound of hardcore. Do you think it's far to say the hardcore went through a second "golden age" post-2000? Absolutely. We have all fine tuned a new style of rave music and a new generation of ravers has come along with it. With the amount of different styles around now theres something for everyone, Hardcore certainly is on top of the world right now. What about hardcore's low point? Did you ever think it would recover from its slump? You were one of the people who stuck with it through thick and thin after all... To be honest, at one point if you'd have said to me in a few years time you are going to be playing to thousands of people again, week in week out, I would never have believed it! So I appreciate the scene now more than ever What have been the major changes in the hardcore scene in the last few years? Does it feel like it's a different ballgame to how it used to be? No, not really. Its still the friendliest place, the best atmosphere on earth What about the new tracks on the album? Which have got the hardcore crowds in a flutter? The Angel City Remix (Sunlight) and rocking with the best are without a doubt two of my strongest anthems at the moment How was you recent(ish) Essential Platinum Live PA at Tranzmission? How has the whole project been progressing? It was great, but extremely hard work. The atmosphere is so intense when you do a pa there's nothing else like it. We will continue to have no expenses spared when it comes to performing live! And finally, if you had to pick a hardcore desert island disc - what would be the one track you took with you?
