What the label says:

This 12” is the second in Wrong Music’s ‘Rave like a .....” series which pay homage too the uk rave sound. Volume one featured 4 hardcore classics from Oen-flux and, Planet Mu’s, Chevron. This time it’s the infamous DJ Scotch Egg and Shitmat’s turn to Bring the Hardcore! DJ Scotch Egg opens his side with a DJ Friendly (over 3mins long!) gameboy cover of ‘Bonkers’ star Hixxy’s Happy hardcore Benchmark track ‘Toytown’. In fact it’s less of a cover when it gets going, feeling like a pumping 8 bit techno party. The ep progresses with another 3 tracks each one with a catchy melody as the next. On the last choon we get a heartfelt emo pop/hh banger, sounding like Bach using a gameboy instead of a piano. This could be Egg’s most dance¬floor release too date. After the massive success of 2006’s ‘HANG THE DJ’ and 2007’s ‘GROOVERIDER’ albums Shitmat com¬bines both their styles for his side of the vinyl. The first track ‘Nuff Respect’ merges pounding Remarc-esque jungle beats, ragga vocals and a few cheeky pop samples to make another post-jungle classic whilst gabber/hardcore tracks ‘Loveheart Trilogy’ and ‘Happy Ending’ take Shitmat’s mashed up sense of humour to a euphoric crescendo.
