Lloydie Crucial & Peter Ranking – The Cow (Don Gorgon House)
Here’s a track I put in my recent mix for beantownboogiedown.com (cop that if you haven’t plenty of great lesser known tunes in there w/ a full tracklist provided). This tune in particular is a nice 91 ragga hardcore jam by Lloydie Crucial & Peter Ranking, who collabed on a number of great ragga hardcore…
Chris Paul – Music Is My Life (Remix)
Here’s a nice track I picked up in Toronto maybe 6 or 7 years ago, by Chris Paul. Paul is quite well known in the rave scene for his work in Isotonik, whose track “Different Strokes” is a huge anthem. He also was promoter of the absolutely massive Orange raves of the early 90’s. Music-wise…
Kingsound – PPI and PPII
Obscurity hounds, this one’s for you… two of the more unknown tunes I’ve posted in a while. One of these two records I found while scrounging in a bargain bin on my last UK trip some months ago… waited till now to post so I could try to find more info on it. However, while…
Muskogee – Drum & Bass Psykho
Sorry for the grimey rip here, my copy of this is pretty beat up… the two A-side tracks on this EP are basically sped up versions of Erik B + Rakim “Let the Rhythm Hit em” instrumental. True, other hardcore tracks use the same break as sampled in that tune (Assembly Line), or the specific…
J&J – “Sweetest Taboo” & “Boom Boom”
Here’s a 95 jungle Sade remix by Dutch producers released on a French label. This means that the producer duo who did this is NOT the same J&J as from Stricty Underground, instead these two were Eurodance/Happy Hardcore producers most likely jumping the jungle bandwagon when tracks like “Incredible” blew up. You can kind of…
Doncaster Warehouse 2 hour video
I posted that now infamous Doncaster warehouse clip about a year ago here… just saw it reposted, followed a few links and ended up on this extended version with over 2 hours of footage! Def worth taking a look
Smith Inc – Palamino
Here’s a tune I can’t imagine anyone taking issue with… maybe not known all that well by name, it was battered in seemingly ALL the mixtapes circa 93 by a decent cross-section of big DJs. Written by Simon Bassline Smith, the popularity of “Palamino” was probably down to how it stood out as a harbinger…
QBass – Deepa (Digital Remix by Chris Cox & Michael Eng)
It’s been quite a while since I posted a us digital remix of a known oldskool track from one of those early 90’s compilations.. in the past, I’ve posted some of these promo-only remixes for tracks like Sonz of a Loop Da Loop – Far Out, Acen – Close Your Eyes, X-Static – Ready 2…
3 Way Split with Easygroove – Wicked Ones
Here’s a nice 92track by Easygroove and (according to Discogs, confirmation please???) Roni Size. It’s not nearly as crazy as you’d expect a track from THE TECHNO DREAD to be, but it would make sense for an early Roni Size tune… kind of slowjammy 94 melody sample with streamlined breaks, plus some more 92-ish synth…
