Old skool ravers be warned! There's flashbacks galore as we drop ‘Raveology,’ a double album of classic tracks mixed by the legends that are, The Ratpack.

The Ratpack, AKA MC Evenson Allen and DJ ‘Lipmaster’ Mark, were and still are legends of the rave era. Their unique DJ/ MC tag team show, led them to headline all of the biggest and best parties of the early 90's including Fantazia, Amnesia House, Perception, Interdance, Pure Dance, Rezerection and so on and so forth. As time went on Mark began mixing the emerging sounds of nu-skool breaks into their sets which has opened them up to a whole new generation of younger ravers.

The Ratpack's 1991 classic hit Searchin’ For My Rizla saw them hit the No.1 chart spot in the UK, beating Madonna and back2front clothes wearing whipper snappers, Kriss Kross. And all this without any daytime radio support from the likes of Radio 1.

This is undoubtedly an album for anyone who was there at one of thoses old skool parties, and anyone who wishes they were! With an assembly of tacks that sends tingles down your spine, and puts an even bigger grin on your face as the album goes on.

Raveology Mixed By Ratpack features some of the era’s classic tunes like Prodigy's Charlie Says and One Love , Sonz Of a Loop Da Loop - Era, N-Joi - Anthem, Congress - 40 Miles, Ratpack’s - Searchin For My Rizla and that’s just the first CD1! On CD 2 the flashback continues with Evapor8 by Altern8, Hurt You So by Jonny L, On A Ragga Tip by SL2, Livin In Darkness by Top Buzz and many, many other hardcore anthems!

Watch yer bassbins, and remember:- If your name's not down, your not coming in!
