This rip today sounds pretty rough since it’s recorded off a Numark PT-01 portable turntable… my 12’s are locked up in a truck somewhere since I played a crazy party last night in Boston. This track is already pretty low fi to begin with though. “Goldseal” is off the excellent Headhunters Recordings label, which only…

Intellex – The Argon EP
I’ve had two Belgian buddies staying at my place for the past 2 days, so not much time for a post… so here’s a generic post about a “cheap but awesome” single: sick tunes not sure why this isn’t more in demand bought for $1 plenty of copies on discogs 5 tracks ranging from pretty…
TDK – Hype Time
Here’s two nice tunes for friday by TDK, someone who was strongly affiliated with Bizzy B / the Brain Records crew. The first track is from 93 but actually sounds much more like a 94 tune… decent atmospherics, choppy breaks, smooth without being corny, tasty and tasteful stuff. The second track (“Hype Time”), I finally…
Andromeda – Buzz
This is basically an “Anasthasia” knockoff but with more prominent breaks and some samples about UK football thrown on top. The additional synthwork reminds me a bit of 786/Deja Vu, but that could just be because of the synths used and not anything to do with the personnel involved in making the tracks. Andromeda –…
Lory D & Leo Anibaldi on TV circa 1992
Thanks to Rocco for pointing me to this video.
We R 3 – Happiness
I just had a pretty rough night Saturday; finding this record on Sunday almost made up for it. “Happiness” is a dead-simple piano stormer, something which doesn’t share ANY of the characteristics which initially drew me to oldschool (those being the chopped and layered beats, crazy sample usage, etc). Instead, this track is just a…
Temporary Mash Up – Just Close Your Eyes
Here’s some early happy hardcore on the Burning Bush Communications label. This was a sublabel of Stormtrooper Recordings, which did the classic Brisk + Rebel Alliance “Somtimes”. This track is classic 94-95 style – chopped amens with 4beat underneath, plus a classic hardcore vocal (in this case the same vocal as used in Nookie “Gonna…
Sub Sequence – State of Mind
I recently bought a large amount of 94-95 stuff from a classic Boston DJ, and I’ll probably be posting a number of these records over the next few months… since they’re all relatively cheap/easy to find EPs, anything you hear and like you can probably nab on ebay or discogs for less than the cost…
DJ Producer – “Reminiscence” megamixes
Here’s some great megamixes by DJ Producer written between 1998-2000.. I believe only one was released on vinyl, all 3 are wicked though and rank up there with any other good megamix series (“Hit the Decks”, “Energizer”, etc). DJ Producer should need no introduction…. aside from being a great DJ from the original UK raves…
