We used it for extended mixes later. This was the time Denniz was most happy, to do this, since he was a DJ and loved to play around with the mix. Listen to the bassline here!

Notes:
This list aims to be complete and current. Low quality demos are being replaced with HQ ones as they are received. Jonas shared many HQ tracks in 2011, uploading them to a website called ReverbNation. As the files are no longer hosted there I have uploaded them here. Tracks shared by Claes (ex Mega Records) have some minor tempo/pitch problems caused by converting them from cassette etc. Where possible I have uploaded the corrected versions (thanks to Mr Rod and Calboy). Tracks listed as 2K era are tracks intended for an album that was abandoned, somewhere between Singles of the 90s and Da Capo. Some songs listed here as belonging to the DC era were written for a supposed 2004-2006 album. d’Cats were a group of 3 demo singers that Jonas sometimes used to sing his songs during the writing process.
