A couple weeks ago during my radio show, someone (Paweł?) asked if there was going to be a blog to the oldskool darkside mix for Halloween this year. That got me wondering if, rather than just doing a set, I could pull together an entire compilation in time the holiday. I sent out a few…

EX+HP Testpress
Just a quick release update: I checked with the plant, and The Exodus & Head Pressure “Dreadkiller” testpress should be arriving for my and Seventh Storey Project’s approval sometime over the next couple weeks… as everyone knows, MPO is heavily backed up but I haven’t heard anything specific about delays to our order yet (fingers…
LV – Speed (Bomb On The Bus) (Le Remix)
Here’s a fun track, the original of which was released on two different white labels. The first is a bit harder to find and pricier, and features the original of this tune along with a wicked unrelated tune. That original is still probably my favorite of the two, but rather than posting the obvious in-demand…
DJ Exodus 95 Hart FM Mix on Hardscore
DJ Extreme recently posted this great mix by DJ Exodus from Hart FM. The tracklisting is wicked – lots of slightly lesser known tunes alongside some huge classics, including my personal faovrite, Trace’s part 2nd remix of “Babylon”. 01 Barrington Levy – Here I Come (Jungle) – Greensleeves (x2) 02 Jonny L – I Won’t…
QDT – The Cool Tip B1
Here’s a SERIOUS personal fav dark hardcore gem which is somewhat overlooked in my view. The EP this tune is featured on is a bit hard to find, as is the Rhythm Rebel EP I posted on this label a while back. luckily this tune was also featured on a cheap and easy to find…
8205-002 update (artwork, etc)
Just a quick update on 8205-002. We’ve gotten the artwork back and it is looking quite nice! The art for this release was done by Schmee, who for years ran the website for Planet Mu. Schmee was actually one of the very first people to contact me when I started blogtotheoldskool 6-7 years ago, so…
Fallout – Lullaby
Here’s a fun tune that pops up for cheap fairly often, which I finally nabbed recently. It’s produced by DJ Fallout, of “Storm Warning” and many excellent collab tunes with Tango fame. In fact, this track features the same ominous pads used in Tango & Fallout – Positive Chaos, a quite well known and in…
Radio Frontline Darkside set 10/4/2014
Here’s one of two netradio sets I did this weekend. This first one was on Radio Frontline, and was the first darkside set I’ve played in a while. I tried to alternate between really obscure unknown tracks and well known classic stuff, so hopefully just when it’s getting too anorak a familiar tune pops in…
Blog to the Oldskool Radio – September 21st (Chicago / Detroit / UK House & Techno special)
Here’s my set of mine from a week and a half ago on jungletrain. Instead of playing any hardcore/jungle, I decided to bust out a bunch of my best Chicago, Detroit and UK house and Techno vinyl… labels like Trax & KMS, some UK bleep stuff, etc. Lots of moderately rare and hard-to-find records, though…
Bay B Kane – new Digital Reissues
I recently got pointed to these Bay B Kane reissues which have come out digitally. As much as I love and am focused on collecting vinyl, the fact is plenty of people prefer digital now, so it’s great that both classic Bay B Kane tracks and some unreleased tunes are making it to official digi-release.…
