It is Monday, and it's going to be a very long day. Especially after I've been on the socials and have seen posts of people who have been to HTID - The Homecoming. Gutted I didn't get a ticket and rave my arse off, but seeing the responses online, it sounded like it was a great party. And one of the main acts at this event was the legendary DJ Scott Brown. And if I'm being honest, how can you have a UK Hardcore party and not have this mighty DJ perform? It wouldn't make any sense. Scott Brown is UK Hardcore, and I'm gutted to have missed HTID.

But at least I've got my trusted Soundcloud, which has got thousands of mixes dedicated to Scott Brown. One of the more recent ones was made by DJ Adrenalin, and it is roughly an hour and a half, all goodies which were released on Scott Brown's own label, Evolution Records. And I'm a massive Scott Brown fan, so I've jumped straight on it, and haven't stopped listening to it. This label has produced so many great records, which have become timeless classics. And everyone would agree with me that Scott is probably the greatest UK Hardcore producer of all time.

To me, and that's just my personal view, Scott has got to be the best producer out there. He's truly great in making melodic UK Hardcore anthems. He's got the gift of making tracks sound so melodic, and the melodies remain in your head for hours, if not days. He's a gifted producer, who keeps on pushing the boundaries, and he is keeping us raving until we are 80+. That all depends on your physical state, of course. But if you are still able to rave, Scott will keep you on your toes.

Adrenalin's mix is a good one, and you are now curious to find out which records were used, right?

Amazing. This takes me back to the good ol' days. Scott Brown is just one amazing producer who had the ability to capture what the scene needed back in the day, and came out the gate storming. The amount of records he released over the years, and the amount which remained most ravers 'all time favourite' records is immense. You cannot discuss UK Hardcore with a fellow raver and NOT mention a Scott Brown record. You simply cannot.

This has got some amazing records, and they are truly amazing. There's not a raver alive who doesn't love these tunes, and does not go bonkers whenever they hear them. Scott's records are always hitting the spot, and making us rave even harder. He's a true icon.

OK, now the less interesting part of the review. Not a fan of 'Johnny' or 'Do It Like We Do It'. Those are the two records I've not liked since day one, and I found a certain hatred for the Bloodhound Gang song. Boy, I hate the original, and I truly dislike the vocals.

But, on the plus side, only two out of twenty-one records. That's an achievement. And of course did Adrenalin play the big hits. The big dancefloor smashers, the hits which became timeless classics. And normally I would go for anything similar to 'Make You Freak' or 'Blue Room', but in this mix, the record which stood out the most, was 'Move Your Body'. Now, that's a banger!

A solid mix with some minor errors. Nothing to worry about. In the end, anything Scott Brown related wil be devoured by the raving community. Bring on more of these mixes.
