This first track is on the Out of Orbit label, which was a sublabel of Orbital Records (who released solid EPs like The After Dark EP and DJ Trace – Inception). Tribal Instincts – Coming On Strong Next, here’s the original M-D-Emm track as sampled in the previous tune… Tons of chopped riffs in this,…

X-Mas Grab Bag
Merry Christmas, here’s a few quality tracks for your ear stockings…. First two tracks are by Jon Doe, aka CLSM. This first track is from 1995… Discogs says 1993, but I don’t believe that date since there’s none on the record and the other track has some retriggery/choppy stuff that didn’t really feature in happy…
Count it off
Another theme post, i.e. a thinly veiled excuse to post a random smattering of tracks. This time, it’s tracks with some sort of counting in them. To start off, here’s one of my absolute favorite hiphop tracks ever – it’s fast and mixes perfectly well with earlier hardcore tunes. This version of “20 seconds to…
Assorted 93-94 Jungles
Here’s a few tracks of nice 93-94 choppy jungle.This first one I have no idea about – found it in a Bristol record shop and it was labelled as being by “slipmatt”, but I think that was just because it has the same catalog # as awesome records #1 (SL2 “the noise”), which is by…
Mega City 2
Here’s some qualty darkness for today… Mega City 2 are most well known for “Darker Side of Evil”, a track which heavily samples the movie Predator 2. They also did a nice 4 tracker called “Demons By Daylight”, which is an absolute horror movie / ominous synth sample-fest. The two tracks featured below are probably…
RIP Oliver Postgate
just read about this on BlissBlog yesterday. Bagpuss Creator Dies Relevant 92 tune, cashing in on the “Charlie” / “Sesame’s Treet” thing & nicking the piano from “Far Out” along the way. DJ Burnz – Bagpuss (Bagpuss on 8 Mix) Another track for today, not connected but one of my absolute favorites and one which…
DJ Seduction – Bleep Bleep Mash Mash
A year before putting out the massive anthem “Hardcore Heaven” on FFrreedom, DJ Seduction released a much-less-known EP of bleepy Warp style hardcore goodness. The production on this is great, with nice layering of drum machine hits with breaks, good track structure, etc. The bpm is pretty low (125 and 127 bpm for the A…
Something a little strange… (Weird Beard)
One of the strangest groups I’ve come across while looking for good oldskool stuff is WEIRD BEARD from Germany. Here’s my thoughts after getting a few of their records, on the strength of one track (which happened to be their least, erm, weird) I just got Weird Works I – III a day ago, and…
DJ Milf (Yolk) 1992/93 Mix
I remember getting in a discussion recently with someone re: styles of mixing… The other person felt really strongly that it’s a DJ’s job to do the absolute best presentation of the songs they can. The beat-matching should be perfect, the mixing itself should be seamless, and the tracks should be kept in for a…
Drunken Masters
The Drunken Masters are much more known for their releases on Dope Ammo… but here’s a 1995 EP they did which is mega choppy, with lots of kung fu samples ala Source Direct.[DISCOGS INFO] Drunken Masters – Dragon Dance (Kung Fu Mix) Drunken Masters – Laughing Hyena (Original Mix)
