The tape was originally picked up in '94 and as far as I can remember had a prism with light passing through it on the cover. I also seem to remember being told Apex was DJ Fenix using a different moniker for his trance sets. Can anyone confirm or deny?
The tape flies along around 170bpm and, unusually, gives barely a nod to the predominant happy-hardcore sound of the day. There's the odd scattering of anthems like "Enter the Arena" and "Wizards of the Sonic", but for the most part this tape is all about the underground, with a hard trance sound that's somewhat bigger and dumber than the more popular Hi-Shock tapes of the day. I say that in a good way as this set really is a lot of fun!
