Burt Cope

Nostalgia is a dangerous drug in dance music, but when administered with skill, it can feel like a time machine to a sweaty, smile-filled rave. Burt Cope's Kiwi Hush 2 set is a masterful dose, blending '90s euphoria with modern production sheen, and we're all happily addicted. The vibe is pure rave revival—think neon lights and classic anthems reinterpreted for a crowd that knows every sample. Technically, it's a steady cruise at 136 BPM on average, with keys bouncing between 7A, 12A, and 3B, creating a harmonic playfulness that matches the upbeat selections.

The energy profile, with 69% low-end, gives a solid foundation for the melodic hooks, while the mid-range vocals and high-end synth stabs keep things airy and infectious. Burt Cope's mixing is energetic and punchy, using quick cuts and blends to maintain momentum, especially in transitions like from Dr. Alban's 'Let The Beat Go On' to WEBS' 'Prime'. For crate diggers, the tracklist is a candy store: Dr.

Alban's eurodance opener sets the joyous tone, while Space 92's 'Apollo' closes with driving techno weight. DJ Pied Piper's 'Do You Really Like It?' is a UK garage anthem given room to breathe, and Barthezz's 'On The Move' brings that classic trance riff. Jhelisa's 'Friendly Pressure' in Sunship's remix offers soulful house depth, and Dj Gegeo's 'Ukg Garage' is a modern tribute to the sound. The journey kicks off with 'Let The Beat Go On', peaks with the garage frenzy of 'Do You Really Like It?', and ends with the techno thrust of 'Apollo'—a ride through rave history with both feet in the present.
