Here’s a few Doctor Who related tunes. First up is a track by Kay 9 aka Blame of “Music Takes You” fame. While most early Blame tracks were anthemy melodic endeavors, Kay 9 was sort of Blame’s more raw jungle/hardcore alias. Aside from the Doctor Who theme, “Who’s in the House?” also samples the intro…

Mind Therapy – Heart of the Jungle
If there’s one prototypical “amazing but unknown” act that prompted me to start this site, it’s Mind Therapy. These guys put out 7 wicked jungle/hardcore EPs (more if you include their “Beats R Us” releases), most of which pop up frequently on discogs for 5-10 pounds or less.. and these aren’t giant pressing big label…
Insomnia – Raise the Roof
Someone wrote me on discogs a while back asking me to post this EP since it was so obscure… It’s a decent single, not really my style drumwise (I’ll take low-fi choppy breaks over more drum machine sounding beats, at least for hardcore stuff) but the music is pretty good. Also, this EP is definitely…
DJ SS – Rollidge
Here’s a classic from DJ SS. This is a must-hear for anyone into “Lighter”, especially mix #1 of that tune which reminds me quite a bit of this. Surprisingly this was only a “bonus” track on the Roller’s Convention part 3 single, though it’s well known and has since been repressed as an A-side. There’s…
G Double E – Asylum Seeker
Anyone who buys a fair bit of oldschool has most likely seen the name G Double E around – their B-Line from Hell single seems to turn up whenever I’m looking for hardcore EPs. I’ve got that EP, but aside from the cool artwork by a member of Genaside II, I far prefer this single.…
Carl Cox – Oldschool set @ EH1
Someone on B2VOS posted up a link to the recently hyped / much wondered about Carl Cox “oldskool set”, and it was, erm, as pretty much as expected. I guess it makes sense when considering he labelled it as an “oldschool” set not “oldschool hardcore” that it’s mostly bigger techno/house classics… Still, for anybody who…
Goldseal Tribe – Goldrush 160
Here’s another track from The Easygroove NYE 92-93 Fantazia Set… Realistically I’m not sure if I’d like this track very much were it not for listening to that mix over and over. But, I did, and so it’s definitely grown on me (even though I still expect to hear parts of “hardcore piano” kicking in…
Formula 7 – Dark Star
Here’s a great track by Formula 7 of Quayside recordings. It wasn’t my favorite track at first, but after hearing it over and over in a Ratty mix I really started to like it – the constantly pitch shifted vocals with layered non-pitch shifted think break hits on top, coupled with the strange melodies really…
Urban Shakedown – Summer Break
When I posted an Aphrodite track recently, it reminded me of another great track he (co)produced. Pretty much everyone who reads this site knows about Some Justice. here’s the video in case you’re the one person who doesn’t: While “Some Justice” was a huge tune caned by everyone and their immediate family, there was another…
Anyone having trouble loading the site?
I’ve been having some trouble with my Hosting Company lately… it’s my fault for going with a notoriously not-so-great hosting company simply because they were the biggest/easiest option and one of the original people who agreed to write for this site worked for them (ironically that person never even ended up writing anything for this…
