Over the years the ninjatune forum has collaborated on numerous ill advised mixes. One of which was the tenuously entitled "This is ..." series which pretty much allowed for anything to happen. Starting with "This is ... Yr Hood" & "... Labels" a collection of brutal beats were requested as a 10 minute mini-mix - anything so long as it hurt, or something moronic/fun like that. The resulting 2hrs of chaos were best described by Mr Blentwell ...

"The folks over on the NinjaTune forum put together a Frankenmix of all of their favorite Hardcore tunes from back in the day and not so far back in the day. Usually these collab mixes lose the plot and suck in their varied approach. But with hardcore being a multi-faceted beast this mix works as a perfect primer of all of the angles (drillcore, ravey hardcore, industrial hardcore, noisecore). Though "happy" hardcore was not invited to the party (thank god!). So strap on your N2O gas mask and get ready to freak the fuck out to some good ole HARDCORE!"
