Alec Empire just posted up uncompressed AIFFs of the “Bass Terror” 2CD reissue of his early tracks, including stuff off the original “Bass Terror” EP, the Suecide EPs, etc. Absolutely essential stuff!!! Grab them before he changes his mind 🙂 Alec Empire – “Bass Terror” by Alec Empire/ ATR I still need to nab those…

Oz Beat – The Return of Oz Beat
OK back to something a bit less grimey. Aside from the tunes on its main label, Formation put out quite a few choice EPs on its offshoot label F PROJECT, run by Mark Yorath. A select few of those are quite in demand (Tango Project EP, Turbo Sound EP, Brainstorm Crew EP), but the vast…
The Rising Damp – Coughing Fit
Seeing someone complain about low fi hardcore tracks today has motivated me to post a SUPER grimey EP that’s definitely not for everyone. As with some of the earlier boogie beat stuff, the production isn’t exactly razor sharp here, and I’ve done nothing to clean up/re-eq the mp3s. However, there’s plenty of good samples and…
Pascal & Sponge – Nosebleed EP
In honor of Halloween, here’s one of the top darkside tracks of all time: Pascal and Sponge’s Nosebleed. Probably best known for its Predator 2 sample (“I know you guys are trying to scare me… well… I’m scared now”!), though there’s also other sounds from the movie used throughout the track: the predator “homing in”…
Yellow Magic Orchestra (Alern8 remix) video
Thanks to my buddy Brian for posting this on facebook, super dismal day here and this video brightened it up a bit! You like YMO? You like Altern8? If you answered “no” to either of those questions, then something must be wrong with you…check this video and see why:
Atomik – 1.0
OK, so I’m definitely still in the “posting less but higher quality” mode.. here’s a track that’s I’ve been spinning out a lot the past couple years. It’s probably one of my top go-to tracks if I want to throw a little oldschool in a non-oldschool focused set, without resorting to big anthems or a…
Defiance – Hand In Hand
Here’s a track I played in the last two blog to the oldskool streams, figure it’s time to post it. Absolute favorite as of late, not particularly good breaks but just a winning combo of Joe Smooth – Promised Land samples with a fast stacatto hardcore melody. I’m almost positive the “Defiance” linked to in…
Head Factor – Nuff Respect
More small label business here, in the form of a solid 91 style piano hardcore track. You get a classic piano part (not sure if original/sampled) plus the classic “RESPECT – KISSING” combo vocal as used in this later Origination track (making me think that maybe these both are in some other acapella together which…
Shag Syndicate – The Rush Express (Ram Raid Mix)
No idea about this one, some random promo I picked up on a whim a while back… cool 92 track, nothing too shocking or out-of-the-ordinary but a lot of familiar samples all combined together. Kind of interesting that it was released or promo’d by Polydor, maybe that means I shouldn’t post it? Scary lawyer people…
Redskins – Gun
Here’s some early ragga jungle stuff that’s probably not too well known. In my opinion this isn’t one of the strongest Kemet EPs (or the best by Redskins), but the nonstop frantic toasting throughout and the gunshot samples definitely make it well worth checking. Redskins – Gun
