Here’s another amen post… personally I’ve never really understood people who focus entirely on amen tracks, to the detriment of all other breaks. I mean, it’s a great break, but so are “Do the Do”, “Funky Mule”, “Kool is Back”, “In One Peace”, “Tighten Up”, etc. Still, for those serious amen heads, here’s a nice…

Baraka – I’ll Be There
Out of all the tunes I bought on this recent UK trip, this might just be my favorite… absolutely lurvely deep 95 intelligent jungle which was rumored to be by Jonny L (who did a remix for Boogie Beat around that time), but according to a friend of the producer was actually by Kid Andy…
DJ Infinity – Eternal
First post of the singles I nabbed on my UK trip, here’s a great little 94 EP from DJ Infinity aka Bill Vega, who more recently has done breaks tunes with Paul Smailes aka New Decade (pretty sure I posted a mix by them) and was otherwise involved with tracks on the out of romford…
London Trip / Dreamscape 20th anniversary
OK, finally back in Boston from my week in London plus some subsequent days in NYC etc. Ready to sum up the trip, give a quick Dreamscape review etc. All in all, I had a great time. It was pretty cold and crappy when I left Boston, and while the weather wasn’t exactly *nice* in…
Still in London, new posts soon
Still in London, can’t rip or really post anything here but I’ve grabbed a crazy amount of vinyl for the blog, as in it can’t all fit in my luggage so I’m gonna have to go buy a big box tomorrow to bring it all home in. Have half a mind to just have a…
London Trip next week
I’m going to be making a last minute trip to the UK Thursday next week, for the sure-to-be-amazing sold out dreamscape party: Staying through part of the next week up until Thanksgiving. If anyone has any suggestions on lesser known record stores I can dig at for tunes to post on the blog, please drop…
L Double – Love This Style
Posting this track up since I’ve had it stuck in my head since earlier in the week and played it on the ustream session wednesday. L Double is probably better known for his later releases on Flex Recordings as well as his dnb show on BBC Radio1, but he did some pretty mean early tunes…
Reminder: Streaming tonight at 7pm EST/ Midnight GMT
http://www.ustream.com/channel/blogtotheoldskool Haven’t been spinning much but got some great records as of late, worth throwing em together live. Get a preview of some stuff I’ll post on the site eventually and plenty I might never ever post.. (rare releases on bigger labels, etc).
Alec Empire – Bass Terror 2CD reissue (AIFF downloads)
Alec Empire just posted up uncompressed AIFFs of the “Bass Terror” 2CD reissue of his early tracks, including stuff off the original “Bass Terror” EP, the Suecide EPs, etc. Absolutely essential stuff!!! Grab them before he changes his mind 🙂 Alec Empire – “Bass Terror” by Alec Empire/ ATR I still need to nab those…
Oz Beat – The Return of Oz Beat
OK back to something a bit less grimey. Aside from the tunes on its main label, Formation put out quite a few choice EPs on its offshoot label F PROJECT, run by Mark Yorath. A select few of those are quite in demand (Tango Project EP, Turbo Sound EP, Brainstorm Crew EP), but the vast…
