The third and final sampler shows no mercy and kicks off with THE hit of the year 2008: Fragma's 'Toca Me' (Inpetto 2008 Remix), played by absolutely every worthwhile DJ back in the day, including a certain DJ Tiësto, who made it one of his favourites for that year. Linking this Dutch connection rather stylishly is 'Solid Session', by Format aka Orlando Voorn, a true master of 90's techno and house music, who is one of the very few Europeans to be completely adopted by the Detroit techno pioneers.

Side B is legendary in every sense of the word with the beast that is 'Tone' by undisputed acid master Emmanuel Top (also known for 'Acid Phase', 'Turkish Bazar', etc.). 'Tone' is without a doubt one of the best records in this musical style, with Sven Väth using it as his last track to close the 10th anniversary of Omen in 1998, a legendary moment for many German clubbers. 'Tone' is followed by a nice surprise on this sampler in the form of Total Groove's 'Zorgoonn'. This At The Villa classic is the early work gem from Gregory Dewindt, a true giant of our scene who also collaborated with master DJ Phi Phi on the classic 'Jesus Trip'.

On side C we find another "Made in Belgium" hit with 'Monotone' by Monotone feat. L.A. Work, a timeless and super effective classic that is impossible NOT to play. 'Monotone' is followed by a genuine beauty in a pure state of trance, one of the classics of the Yeti Records label, the magnificent 'Pure' by Rebirth, which gives us almost 12 minutes of pure emotional pleasure.

And finally, on side D, we keep the quality very high with 'My Lexicon', another masterpiece by Sander Kleinenberg and a real gem of progressive house that was played and compiled at the time by Sasha and John Digweed, which says a lot! Concluding this extraordinary series of samplers, what could be better than a legendary title composed by the God of trance himself under his alias West & Storm? 'Moose' was indeed one of Tiësto's projects and became one of the most emblematic records of Extreme on Mondays. One for true trance lovers who will be delighted to see it reappear here!
