Here’s a tune I’ve been playing on my net radio streams since I started a couple years ago, not sure if I’ve ever ID’d it though. At 7 minutes it might be more of a mixing track than something you want to listen to start-to-finish… however, I think it’s pretty fun and don’t think I’ve…

Kingsize – Come Now People EP
I’ve been meaning to save this EP for an article on early US breakbeat hardcore/rave, but it’s been a while since I posted any domestic obscurities. Despite a number of DJs playing oldskool here, very little bonafide 92/93 style tunes got released in the US, with most of the hardcore being more of the rave/techno…
Formula 7 – Voodoo
If you check this blog a lot, you’re probably aware how much I love tracks with lowfi choppy breakbeats layered up. This track by Formula 7 fits that description well – a resequenced kickback intro transitions into that beat combined with the terminator break, combined with simple sci-fi-esque pads and a repeating “I thought voodoo…
Krazy Kid & Uncle – Dick Turpin Remix
More crazy 92 sounds… De Underground and their associated labels did quite a few releases which as a whole are a bit underrated in comparison to other labels’ output at the time. Rather than going for simple cheesy piano anthems, a lot of their earliest tunes had strange sanmples, raw production, and in general are…
More Bass Than Fingers – Batfink
Here’s a fun 92 track released on the label J4M, who put out Nebula 2 Flatliners and a few of the good Bass Ballistics EPs among others. No idea about the artist, it’s a bit strange though… despite not being that rare in terms of pressing size or demand, I almost never see this EP…
BV – Vision
This is one of those personal favorites I’m a little reticent to post since it’s not an easy/cheap tune to find and isn’t so widely known. Luckily for you guys, I ripped this a while back and am too sick/busy/lazy today to rip something else, so up it goes. “Vision” is a deep 95 amen…
Industrial Espionage – 4 U 2 B In XTC EP
Big in-demand 92 whitelabel for today! “4 U 2 B In XTC” was an EP by Grant Nelson, the man behind Wishdokta / many of the great Kickin’ Records releases as well as one of UKG’s progenitors. This EP, done under the one-off “Industrial Espionage” alias, might be just a little bit rougher around the…
Dillinja – Deep Deadly Subs
This track is probably a lot more well known than most stuff I post, but I’ve had it at the front of my crates for a while and it’s still a relatively small label release so up it goes. Before Dillinja helped spearhead the whole crazy tearout banger style of DNB, he did quite a…
Frankie Paul – Round and Round
It’s been a while since I posted some ragga jungle, here’s a pretty cool and obscure track from a ragga jungle comp by a label in Jamaica… I think it fits nicely with the comment a few days ago regarding those Mazaruni / King Tubby related Jungle records, where someone was mentioning real jungle artists…
Tango And Dom – My Mind Is Going (Remix)
Serious tuneage here… sorry the rip doesn’t sound that good, it’s from the 2002 reissue of the original EP, which includes this rare remix which was only ever on dubplate. To be honest, the remix sounds a bit like it might have just been recorded off of plate, but the music still shines through regardless……
