Here’s a special treat for you guys… an unreleased 1994 dubplate by Mega City 2, who I’ve previously posted a few tunes by. This is a one-off dubplate that got made in 1994, according to the guy who posted a link up: It was amongst a batch of 100 Acetates that were stored in a…

Pum Pum Brigade – Tuffer Than Words
Here’s a nice EP I took a chance on recently, because it was cheap and I noticed it was released in the NL not UK – not sure if the artist behind it was Dutch as well, but I’m always looking for hardcore tunes produced and released outside of the UK 91-95. Despite the lulzy…
UDG – Heaven
Here’s another stone cold classic, this time a 92 oldskool piano stormer. My copy is a bit tatty but it’s still OK sounding, also to be clear this is the original rawer version on whitelabel not the more polished rerelease… big big tune played by all sorts of DJs back in the day! The artist…
Live UStream tommorow (Friday Jan 20th) at 6pm EST/ 11pm GMT
So, I’ve been slacking on the ustream as of late since I’ve been busy with other stuff (preparing for first live PA in a year in a couple of weeks), and my ripping setup has been out of commission… time to get back into the habit, so I guess I’ll give it a go for…
Intense – Time Space Continuum
Sorry for the lack of posts, I’ve been stuck with more audio ripping issues… digital clicks all over the place, both through a USB->audio preamp device (clicks whenever a reasonably loud signal goes through), and through a standard USB recording device (random digital clips). I *think* I’ve got it kicked now, using an old laptop…
Black ‘Ash – Cosmology
Here’s a record I’ve seen around a lot for cheap, finally grabbed a copy and I’m reasonably happy with the purchase. It’s by Vocation, of “Equilibrium” fame (and this tune) under the name “Black ‘Ash”. Pretty energetic with lots of samples getting thrown in non-stop. In general, it’s probably the raw quantity of (good) samples…
Bad Influence – Never Too Much
Another top favorite, hopefully this track gets some more appreciation than the classic I posted a couple days ago. Bad Influence was a project by Pascal, Cobbler and Jack Horner who did 5 EPs under this alias. This is probably their biggest track under the “bad influence” name, a frantic hardcore tune with great bouncy…
Demon Boyz – Jungle Dett
OK I’m cheating and posting a more well known track… in fact, I’d wager it It doesn’t get that much more classic than this tune. Although primarily a hiphop act earlier on, Demon Boyz did some amazing hardcore/jungle stuff as well. This tune is one of those early tunes alongside the best by Rebel MC…
DJ Dub Rush – Da Gathering
Here’s a quality 94 darkside jam I’ve been hoarding. Evil Dead 2 samples, some nicely panned think-work and eerie synths, everything you could want in a seriously dark jungle track – up there with the darkest creepiest stuff by Mega City 2, Love Dove Jay, etc. Dub Rush did a bunch of great singles on…
DJ Syko – Ruffage 2 The System
Here’s a frantic 94 track by DJ Syko of Syko & Mak / Parliament Records fame, on the Parliament sublabel Candidate Records. Nowhere near as sampleadelic as his earlier singles, this tune combines choppy amens + funky mule break (a great combo) with some shrill siren noises and standard 94 pads, plus that “ow!” hit…
