Aw yea, time for a real lunar rave classic - none other than the canterlot anthem, Chaostasia. Originally recorded and released on white label dubplate in 1991, this track always had everypony on the dancefloor asking "what's that tune with the synth that sounds like all the choirs of equestria are screaming at you?" Well, that's what I was asking anyway when I was shaking my drunken plot around some smoke filled basement in the dodgy bit of Canterlot. I just had to have it. And when I found out it didn't even have a proper pressing, I was both appaled and ecstatic! Knew this one was going to finally break Equestrian Hype into the Canterlot scene.

And just that it did. Quickly signing SSH on and pairing it up with DJ FISTBUCK's CNTRLOT MASSIVE, a supprisingly progressive track for '92, with dark, precocious amen rhythms and middle-eastern influences. Well, I'd certainly heard nothing of the sort anyway, and this hard new sound was really quite exciting, let me tell you. It sure as heck confused the dancefloor, but in the best possible way. A tune ahead of its time.

As I predicted, we couldn't press this record quick enough, and Chaostasia quickly became an anthem for the new "Lunar Raver" subculture that was developing in Canterlot at the time, in which rebelious foals such as my younger self were bandning together to hold rediculous open air parties at which they'd blast these harsh new sounds, preach the doctrine of the "New Lunar Republic", get Discord tats dyed into their flanks and wear their manes in the most rediculous fashion. Bolshie teenage rebelion, sure, and the folly of youth, definately, but the movement undeniably resulted in some of the most hard hitting,hoof stomping records to ever come out of Equestria, and is a moment in time we'll probably never capture again.

Fillys and foals, feed your senses with the true spirit of hardcore, and let's get some shout outs from anypony who remembers this big tune.
