Now that the radio show has been up for a bit, time to post up the Dara mix at full bitrate (320Kbps), along with a tracklist. Like I mentioned before, this one was a doozie..while featuirng loads of memorable tracks, it bypasses a lot of the biggest tracks of the time in favor of slept…

Alex Reece & Wax Doctor – Frequency
Here’s a bit of a slow burner on the underappreciated Radioactive Kids label (which is actually a sublabel of Creative Wax…click that link and buy some excellent oldskool mp3s legit!). Neither Alex Reece nor Wax Doctor need much in the way of introduction, two artists who did great early tunes on labels like Basement/Sound Entity,Liquid…
K2 – Me Love It
Fun ragga hardcore track here. I think the only reason this one is so easy to find is that it had a reasonably larger pressing, as later releases on the label are a bit harder to come by and hence fetch much higher prices (thinking in particular of the Fenetik – E.Lite EP.. never nabbed…
Prisoner – Mr Fix It
Been a while since I’ve posted an amen smasher, so here’s one I secretly posted as part of last Wedensday’s radio show. I grabbed this tune a couple of years ago as a tatty whitelabel that just said “london something” on it (made me think maybe it was the Code071 record), but it turned out…
Code 6 – Third Aura
This is seriously one of the biggest tunes I’ve posted in recent time… lush breakbeat techno jam by Joey Beltram under his Code 6 alias. According to a comment I read on discogs, this alias was for his more experimental idm / early warp sounding stuff. I’m not sure how true that is, but it’s…
Time & Krimson – Let the Music Go
Fun radio show last night, thanks to the regulars that tuned in… will be sending out mp3 links via DM to the few people that RT’d it. That experiment in getting people to help spread the work didn’t do so well, guess I need to just wait and see if these radio shows sort of…
Stevie Hyper D & Tigger Max – Hear The Vibes
Here’s another track from my hardcore for Beantown Boogiedown.com. This one is a really class early ragga hardcore number, featuring the one and only Stevie Hyper D on vocals. For those who don’t know, Stevie Hyper D is considered one of the top hardcore/jungle MCs of all time, a real legend in the scene who…
Nomad – Devotion (Hard Step Mix)
Sorry about the delay in posting… laptop dying so I’ve been working on fixing it + busy w/ other misc stuff. Here’s a track to make up for it – a 95 jungle bootleg remix of a cheese-house chart-topper from 1990. Despite Nomad being pretty far from jungle/hardcore, this record isn’t the only connection Nomad…
Stu J – Gadget
OK, skipping the obscurities for a second and posting a long time favorite 91 track here… Despite being a relatively early tune, there’s quite a few parts in this one. The hip hop amen / combo break down leading to the simple synth drop works every time! Stu J went on to do some more…
Marc Williams – Dream Rush
Here’s a rip which I did over 3 years ago for this blog, but never posted.. I think I ripped this the same time as Intellect – Stimulation, which is on the same EP. It’s likely I chose not to post this since I didn’t want to post multiple tracks off the same record –…
