Here’s another early proto-intelligent track. I like a lot of these Rhythm Section related singles, but there’s so many of them (including some mediocre ones) that they bleed together a bit for me now. So I was pleasantly surprised when I accidentally pulled this record from my wall yesterday, intending to grab Drumatix – Crank…

DJ Spatts – Rollin Voodoo (Boshcorps Serenade)
DJ Spatts is one member of the allmighty Criminal Minds, one of the BEST hardcore/jungle acts ever. This solo EP is slightly different, it sounds a bit more on the deep proto-intelligent Lucky Spin / Dee Jay tip. Great stuff. If anyone is still in touch w/ any of the Criminal Minds, please get in…
SMF – Guillotine
Nasty and positively essential tune… gritty beats, the reversed melody and the “would you help me understand” vocals, used earlier in Micky Finn’s equally rough King of the Jungle remix. SMF did a number of other EPs. Of these, SMF#4 is my favorite because it’s the most manic and the “Rush Stimulator” tune is absolutely…
Vocation – Factor 7
Vocation is mainly known for “Equilibrium”, a good tune that got played by tons of people. I’ve got that one too but I’ve heard it so many times I figure I’d post a less obvious track, off their remix EP. This one took a bit longer to grow on me and is pretty straight forward,…
Unit-ee & DJ Biz – Take the Music
Another excellent, easy to find & heavily overlooked track. I think if the production on this had been a bit better it could have been a lot bigger. As it stands, it’s still a great catchy ragga hardcore track. Sorry about all the clicks and pops, my copy of this is pretty well worn since…
Dissapearing Comments?
So, I saw a comment today, and then I checked the site later and I didn’t see it. I don’t know if WordPress messed up, the original poster deleted it, or if I accidentally deleted it. To the original comment-writer: sorry, pls post again. If anyone is having trouble posting comments, let me know at
White Breaks – White Line
Here’s a track produced by Mark Acardipane, aka the mover / ace the space / alien christ / marshall masters / nasty django / a million more. It’s chock full of samples from other big tracks, including: synth ripped from Moby “thousand” beats ripped from Brother’s Grimm “Sign of the Times” effects ripped from Sonz…
Rhythm Rebel – Rhythm Rebel
This “Rhythm Rebel” EP is on the Kingsize Productions label, which is one of those lesser-known labels that has become much more in demand over the years. This EP isn’t the rarest, but is still pretty hard to come by… nice gritty and ultra low fi samples, alternating between a female vocal part and a…
Sir Spence – Non-Continuity EP
I picked up this Sir Spence – Non-Continuity EP recently, and at first I wasn’t totally sold on it. I finally got around to giving it some more listens recently, and it has really grown on me… to the point that it’s one of my better finds of 2008. The EP title is appropriate as…
2wice as Hard – Give it 2-em
Another quality US track, this time from Chicago. The B-side is really good too. Pitched up +8% because that’s how I always listen to it. 2wice As Hard – Give it 2 Em
