    **** YEAH. These are awesome jams made in one compilation. Definitely worth getting for those whom like the original beats and dance music of the day.

    We're slowly seeing a return to the slipshod-but-sensual human-made vibes of Chicago and as such Hardcore Traxx, couldn’t have come out at a more opportune time.

    If there's one negative to this compilation m it's that Ghetto house is best heard in a fast and furious mix where the one trick pony tracks don't wear out their welcome and the salty language loses all meaning and becomes nothing by pure sound at high speed. Here, however, the focus is on individual tracks with no mixing. [Jan 2014, p.75]

    This is music of pure catharsis, making Hardcore Traxx not only an invaluable historical document but a hell of a great time.
