Here’s another Totally Essential All-Time Classic™. Super stripped down house beats, diva shrieks ala “Sweet Sensation” looped over and over and over and over until they burrow into your skull and make a nest there.Why don’t people still play this track? People should still play this track. Cameo – Money (Reese Hardcore Instrumental)

TNT – Till the Last Sucker Drops
Rough Tone put out some great EPs, including some really in-demand bits, like Ellis Dee – Ruffneck Bizznezz (which was reissued on a slamming vinyl comp LP) and the remix of DJ Ron – Crackman. One EP I don’t think I’ve ever heard people mention is TNT – “Till the Last Sucker Drops”. Overall this…
Timelapse – Sued For A Sample
Here’s one of those “hidden treasure” singles which may have gotten slept on because the B side is way better than the A side. This B1 track is great though. Another classy EP on Out of Romford, which did great New Decade and Desired State singles. Timelapse – Sued For A Sample
Positiv Noyz – HHavok 2
HHavok is a small obscure label which put out 2 EPs, both by Positiv Noyz (who Discogs claims are actually several of the core members of Nebula II). I remember seeing lots of copies of HHavok001 around and grabbed that EP ages ago.. it’s a fun white label. But it was only a couple of…
Easygroove @ Fantazia, New Year’s Eve 92-93
This mix is one of my top 3 or 4 favorite oldschool mixes ever. Technique-wise it’s far from perfect, but the track listing is absolutely insane… so many top notch lesser known or rarely played tracks! I got it a long time ago, was into it for a while, then completely forgot about it… years…
NRG – He Never Lost His Hardcore (Remix)
N.R.G. – “Feel the Fury Remix” EP is such an essential EP… You’ve got “I need your love”, maybe one of the most famous oldschool tracks ever… Plus “Feel the Fury (remix)” as featured on Speed Limit 140BPM / my favorite, and then this monster of a track, “He never Lost His Hardcore”…. I occasionally…
Abstract Minds EP
This is a pretty interesting EP I also picked up in London recently… I’m not sure if it even counts as hardcore, more breakbeat techno stuff. The “Thoughts of Mind” track should sound familiar, i.e. it has the same bell sample as LTJ Bukem “Music”. Originally I saw some threads where people claimed this was…
The Funky Dread Squad
Here’s a nice single I picked up while in the UK recently – raging lowfi 93 ragga hardcore stuff. Pretty rough production for 93, but not to a complete fault, i.e. the beats still punch pretty hard. The Funky Dread Squad – Give Me
Outrageous – The Techkore EP
Here’s a nice underrated EP, B side is so-so but the A side is quality… well worth picking up. My favorite of the 4 tracks is “feel the panic”, which (as the title suggests) combines a bit of the massively sampled Hijack “Badman is Robbin’” acapella with a sample which I think is from a…
2 White Boyz – Mum Said
The following isn’t exactly a dancefloor smasher, more of a fun oddity that I really like dropping in mixes. It’s been in the crate by my turntables for a month now, so up it goes to the blog… I really like the bleep sounds peppered throughout the track, pretty unexpected along with the extreme panning…
