Sorry for the lack of updates during the last few days, I was a bit busy with work and then went to Tokyo Hardcore Construction on Sunday night (Monday was a national holiday, thanks heavens). Anyway, one of the DJs at THC was Lala, a regular there but someone I’ve never actually seen play – you may also remember him from the recent THC preview videos. Anyway, I was expecting dark and nasty speedcore or something, but his genre of choice is actually retro-themed hardcore/gabber. His set on Sunday was really good fun, and so here’s his promo mix from the Hardcore Construction site, if you’ve missed it until now (as I had).

I’d forgotten how much I love those old happy hardcore style kicks and simple melodies, and I defy you not to have a little dance/head-nod while listening to this set. The file’s only 30-something Mb, so you’ve (almost) nothing to lose – download it here.
