TMR Inc was comprised of two producers: B.T. and Crazy D, who released a series of EPs on their own label TMR Inc No idea if they’re the same TMR who did the infamous “Pirate Tune” track which fetches disgusting amounts of cash pon di eBay: You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view…

Wriggler Bascombe – Final Battle
I sort of go through phases of liking this tune a fair bit and not as much. “Final Battle” is a nutty 1993 amen track utilizing a ’92 sampletastic method of songwriting – throw everything but the kitchen sink in there, and see what sticks. To that end, we get video game bleeps, kung fu…
Essence of Aura – Never Trust Your Fantasy
Essence of Aura are pretty well known for their “Destiny” EP as well as the Distortion Crew remixes, however their other EPs are a bit slept on in my opinion. Case in point : “Never Trust Your Fantasy”. Pitch Shifted beats, ominous synths, reversed vocals and some time stretched who-knows-what sounds make for a simple…
Connectivity Issues / DJ set this Thursday
Hey all, I was away for the past week and now having some issues w/ my network at home which is making ripping stuff a pain, trying to fix it ASAP. In the meantime, any east coast US people might want to know about this: facebook event, or just click on the flyer I’m opening…
Emanuel – Internal Mind
Way back when I started this blog, one of the first EPs I featured was by Nick Ball. While I don’t know who this EP is by (no idea who Emanuel is), Nick Ball is listed as one of the producers on it. Both sides of this EP are strong tracks, with this side being…
DJ Massive – The Shaker Song (Fat Props)
Here’s an EP that I’m a bit hesitant to post since it’s such a top personal fav, but it still manages to stay under a lot of people’s radar – I would almost rather eventually drop it in a mix or something like that. But, it’s been ages since I recorded an oldskool mix, so…
Kinetic – Dancefloor Justice
Trying to make up for the weeks of lazy posting, here’s another nice tune – this time some stripped down 91 hardcore. This track is way more basic than what I usually like, but it more than does the trick – a simple breakbeat, a catchy vocal sample (“get up, feel the dancefloor justice!”) and…
Love Dove Jay – The Hitchcock Storey
I’ve been slack on posting releases lately, to make up for it here’s a darkside fav. Choppy beats, classic horror movie samples, and a nasty timestretched breakdown at 4:15 which is one of the sickest this side of Grooverider’s Sinister (Influence Mix) or DJ SS’s Nightstalker remix. Clocking in at over 8 minutes counting the…
Tic Tac Toe – Ephemerol
Here’s another one of those “how could I have gone 2 years without posting it” yet tracks. This one is by Simon Ratcliffe of Basement Jaxx, and is one of THE most essential hardcore whitelabels. The production is pretty low fi, but fits the track fine – a haunting piano loop, a multitude of break…
OUTRAGE – Inside My Head (From My Hands)
Note: todays entry comes from the jungle producer 0=0. A month back, I received the following email: Subject: hey guy… i wanna contribute to the blog.. j 0=0 Nice and to the point, huh? No “hey how’s it going / digging your blog” formalities for this guy!! Anyway, knowing J’s tendency to not follow through…
