Here’s something a little different: some happy hardcore from 1995 by DJ Reckless of “Reckless Karnage” fame. This is still from the period before everything got massively stompy (or was just in the process of getting stompy), so there’s still mashed amens with a classic 92 style vocal snippet. I’m not sure where the vocal…

Underkut – Both Ends (DJ Fusion Remix)
It’s been quite a while since I posted a 1991 tune, I might need to make that up with a few posts of heavy early tracks. This one is a personal favorite which I finally tracked down as part of a 10″ doublepack reissue from 1994. The reissue contains the original 1991 EP on one…
Droppin Science video from 1995
Thanks to Droid for posting this on FB… interview with Danny Breaks circa 1995, showing him working on tunes, scratching, and watching kung fu movies between bong rips. Big respect Mr Breaks, I really like how there’s none of the pretentiousness and ultra-seriousness you’d have with a lot of producers now doing a video like…
Macka Brown – Peoples Station
Seriously nice ragga hardcore here… if you haven’t read about him on this site before, Macka Brown is half of Bug Khan and the Plastic Jam, and aside from his Bug Khan tracks is probably best known for the 92 feel good anthem “Go Down Baby”. Aside from that though, he did a number of…
Dillinja – From Beyond
It’s kind of crazy how many tunes Karl Francis aka Dillinja put out between 1993 and 1994… between his labels Cybotron, Deadly Vinyl, Logic Productions and Lionheart, Dillinja must have either been living in a studio or super quick and efficient and cranking these tracks out. You can kind of hear the latter in this…
2G’s (PX1) – Hunt and Seek
This month the EP posts have been pretty sparse on this site, so I’m enforcing the long-standing “slack on posting tunes for a while => make up for it by posting some rare slammers” rule. Hence, this track: “Hunt and Seek” by by R.A.W. (the uk one not the LA jungle DJ) on the Awesome…

This Man had a vision & Even brought Ragga Jungle to Carnival in 1993 in the…
Thunderhead – Untitled (Lost In Time EP)
Serious nasty darkside here, with co-production by Skanna. This “Lost In Time” EP highlights the darker 93 sound which is all the rage these days, in addition to being one of the tougher to find plates of that era (though far from the rarest). For some reason, I think I remember hearing that Thunderhead was…
DJ Eevil – Cum On (Mix 2)
Here’s a 92 piano hardcore jam I finally picked up recently, from the great D Zone Recs camp. Although D-Zone might have been a bit better known for their earlier stuff, their slightly later tunes are hidden gems with a few being mega-rare highly sought after obscurities now. This tune is far from the rarest…
DJ Trace – Definition of Living
Big respect to DJ Trace for posting this classic… it might not be the super rare dubplate version, but the original is just as good in my opinion! Download ASAP before it dissapears….
