I’m away in London so no tune postings for a couple more days, in the meantime though here’s pt 2 of the Pete Parsons interview. Don’t forget to check his myspace page at www.myspace.com/petevoyager, drop him a line and let him know if you liked the interview. As much of this as you remember/ care…

Dance Floor Justice – Hip Hop Hardcore EP
Bought this on a whim based on the nice logo / the fact that a lot of B-Boy hardcore is really wicked (Criminal Minds, Sonz of a Loop Da Loop, etc). It might not stand up to those acts, but this definitely a nice release. The B side features a decent piano remix by Terrorize…
Ajax Project – Mach III EP
Getting back to what I said about posting more non-UK tracks on here since a lot of them may have been overlooked, here’s the first Icelandic Hardcore record ever. The first track (“Rufige”) is the most well known. it was made in collaboration w/ Goldie when he visited Iceland. Good variety and tons of samples,…
THC EP
This next track is mainly of interest to me since it sounds like it might be the original source of the main sample from Ellis Dee Project 2. THC – Feel So Good Ellis Dee Project part 2 (youtube clip for now, will probably rip the record sometime soon):
Suburban Base: Sound of the Phuture MegaMix
Suburban Base is one of my favorite labels ever, but you’ll rarely see stuff on this site from that label. This is for two reasons : Anybody who knows anything about oldskool knows this label and their releases, thus there’s no reason for me to spend time trying to talk about them All their releases…
Tranquil – You Got It
HOW GOOD is 786 / DEJA VU RECORDS?!!!! You can keep your “Sweet Harmony” and “Don’t Go”. That stuff is OK, but when push comes to shove I’ll always choose crazy distorted rage music requiring 2 showers after each listen, like this tune and the others on 786/Deja Vu. Speaking of which… If anyone can…
Law & Auder – It’s Alright
Another record unearthed in a giant pile of bargain bin stuff at some UK shop a few years back, I was expecting this to be more 93 style. Instead, it’s a nice 95 amen smasher with both terrorist and dred bass, frequently changing beats, and some choice vocal bits. Law & Auder – It’s Alright
Chris Energy – My Vision is Clear
Chris Energy did a bunch of singles on HNR Records which are OK but pretty inconsistent. Some of the tracks are good but a lot are are really rough (both soundwise and song-wise). Still, you often see a lot of these HNR Records around for bare cheap, so they’re worth dropping on a turntable and…
Disorder (Joey Beltram) & House Documentary
Since I’ve been posting slightly faster jungley stuff recently, I’ll slow it down today with some 91 techno. Here’s a great lesser-known Beltram single from 1991. It’s sort of a mix of 80% energy flash, 20% Program2Beltram “Omen”. Disorder (aka Joey Beltram) – Panic Speaking of Beltram, he has a few choice lines in this…
DJ Spatts – Rock Me Slowly
Here’s a track by DJ Spatts of Criminal Minds, off a Various Artist 3 tracker on Section 12 Recordings. The other tracks are decent enough, including a tune by Steve Gurley of Foul Play and a remix of Criminal Minds by D’Cruze (good but nowhere near what I would expect from the combination of those…
