A bit off topic with S3rl-related stuff, but I wanted to post this because I love these albums.

I find that the Bonkers albums are one of the best ways to look into how UK and freeform hardcore evolved from the mid 90's to the mid/late 2000s (specifically the styles of artists like Hixxy and Sharkey).

Although it doesn't cover the period between 2007 and now, Bonkers shows the big change between the old, bouncy happy hardcore into the euphoric, slightly darker tone of UK hardcore, and is the biggest-selling hardcore compilation series of all time. My personal favorites are Bonkers 8 , X (10), 11, and 13, although I love all of them, and they gave me an appreciation and love for the older stuff :h:

Any input/thoughts?

love,
