The Hoover sound helped define rave, hardcore, jungle and techno — from early ’90s classics like Human Resource – Dominator, Second Phase – Mentasm, T99 – Anasthasia and The Prodigy – Charly, through to later tracks that brought the sound back again.    Featured tracks:    Second Phase – Mentasm Human Resource – DominatorT99 – AnasthasiaThe Prodigy – CharlyBaby D – Come Into My WorldDJ Seduction – Come OnMundo Muzique – Acid PandemoniumX Certificate – Rising 2 The BassPlexus – Cactus RhythmNasty Habits – Let’s Go D.J.
