Dancemania Speed

Dancemania Speed is a sub-series of Toshiba EMI's Dancemania compilation series. This series features faster, further remixed versions of recordings from previously released Dancemania albums or faster remixed covers of various famous songs. Unlike the main series mostly consisting of eurodance, this series largely consists of hardcore techno crews from the UK, the home of happy hardcore, and some eurobeat Italians who are very much experienced in high BPM dance music. Dancemania Speed became a million-selling series, and have been particularly popular among regional ravers, techno-oriented gyarus, modernized yankees, and car drivers on methamphetamine.
