Happy New Year and welcome back to Sonicrampage! <\/p>\n

2012 was the best year yet for pageviews on the site, and hopefully this year I can build on that, and keep bringing you great electronic music mixes to download and enjoy. This week I will be posting my first new mix of the year, the ninth edition of my Drop The Hammer series of crate-digging mixes, alongside a review of 2012 on the site. Very soon I will also post some of my mix concepts for 2013 – it would be great to get your feedback on what you want to hear, too. Further down the line I will be contributing an old skool acid mix to the Old School Mix Marathon V later this month (check out the Old School Mix Marathon IV<\/a> for last year’s mixes, or visit Rampage Turbo 9<\/a> to hear my mix). In other news, I have now agreed to take on the management of the Freeformaniacs<\/a> podcast, and there will be some exciting (or at least moderately interesting) news about that very soon.<\/p>\n

Back to the subject at hand!<\/p>\n

I’m very proud to kick the year off with this wicked guest mix from the head honcho of Rebuild Music<\/a>, DJ Thumpa. Thumpa is a dj whose mixes I have enjoyed very much since first discovering them on the now-defunct USH (United States of Hardcore) forums a few years back. Although primarily a freeform\/UK hardcore dj, Thumpa also plays across many different styles of electronic music … truly a man after my own heart! For this mix, he has contributed an hour’s worth of awesome drum n’ bass from the late 90’s\/early 00’s, a period that I also love<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For those who don’t know, what’s ReBuild Music? How did it come about, and what’s a brief history of it?<\/b><\/p>\n

ReBuild Music<\/b><\/a> is an exciting label covering all angles of hardcore music, from dancefloor stuff to freeform to breaks to gabber to vocal stuff to D&B to weird stuff and back again. I started the label in early 2009 as I was surrounded by great music and talented producers and it just made sense to try and make a difference. I\u2019ve been playing this music for years, a lot of mates make music and always thought I had an ear for good music so running a label was the next step really. I don\u2019t make music and have no interest in that side but running a label just seemed the right thing to do, so in April 2009 I started releasing music digitally through Trackitdown, Juno etc. After 6 months I started to get really bored and wanted to do something with a bit more substance (I am very old skool when it comes to music and much prefer a physical format) so in early 2010 I released my first CD album \u2018Worldwide Freeform\u2019 and it just went from there really. I\u2019ve now released 6 CD compilations and they\u2019ve all sold out, done really well and had a lot of praise. Releasing albums is a lot of fun, I can put my personal touch on the releases and it\u2019s a lot more rewarding than uploading a track to Trackitdown!<\/p>\n
