I’ve had this for a while and still get a chuckle whenever I come across the title – given how prolific certain producers were BITD, I wish other producers had been as straightforward as on this EP and put out singles named like this. It’d be funny to come across loads of records with titles…

Fat Controller – In Complete Darkness
“In complete Darkness” is such a classic track, it’s a bit deflating when you hear all the original samples and realize all the music is sampled wholesale (except for the bassline probably). I mean, we all know that most of those classic piano and synth parts in hardcore tunes were sampled from some marginally earlier…
Darkman – Escape from the Planet of the Zombie Droids
Here’s a record I’ve actually had in my sell/trade pile for 3 years or more… heard it recently in a mix and thought “oh yeah, I’ve got that!” I can still understand why I put this EP aside to sell, as it’s far more stripped down and simple than I prefer oldschool tracks to be…
DJ DR J – Rock Me (Journey Mix 1)
Someone was asking me to post even more 92 stuff, so even though I think I’ve been posting plenty of that stuff lately (see: JBL + Bigga post), here’s a somewhat hard to come by EP from that year. DJ DR J was one of the people involved with the 3 Sample – “Streets of…
JBL & Bigga – Respect
Here’s a totally manic 92 whitelabel track by JBL and Bigga. These two are relatively unknown but JBL also did the great “Lesson in Ruffness” EP with Ruff & Ready. Sorry my copy of this is a bit worn – still a total tune! Layered breaks, airhorns, tons of vocal samples – all the makings…
Tokyo oldskool rave party
Here’s some info for any of you in Japan (Google Analytics claims there’s at least some number of you reading this site). Apparently Technorch is starting a new 90’s rave revival club night in Tokyo, and has DJ Shimamura playing the first party with him. For anyone not up on their current happy hardcore/j-core, Technorch…
After Dark – Truly One
I dug this out while looking for 94-96 atmospheric stuff to play a few weeks ago… can’t say it had stuck in my head before as that much of a tune. My ears must have not been screwed on properly when I first got this, because this is a TUNE!! No relaxed intro beats or…
Rhythm Section – “1990-1992 Remasters” CD out now
Thanks to a reader for pointing me to this, had no idea this was coming out! not sure why the player is cutting off a bit, some CSS thing I don’t have time to investigate… player still works though! Originally, there were some very aggressive vinyl reissue plans for Rhythm Section – a series of…
TMR Inc. – Sample City
TMR Inc was comprised of two producers: B.T. and Crazy D, who released a series of EPs on their own label TMR Inc No idea if they’re the same TMR who did the infamous “Pirate Tune” track which fetches disgusting amounts of cash pon di eBay: You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view…
Wriggler Bascombe – Final Battle
I sort of go through phases of liking this tune a fair bit and not as much. “Final Battle” is a nutty 1993 amen track utilizing a ’92 sampletastic method of songwriting – throw everything but the kitchen sink in there, and see what sticks. To that end, we get video game bleeps, kung fu…
