Here’s a super catchy and fun 93 track, I remember buying it for the B side which I’ve heard in a couple mixes, but the A side (this track) is a great tune too and probably a better “listening” track. I don’t think Anti-Chaos did anything else, which makes this single all that more impressive.…

Desired State – Dance The Dream
Here’s an all-time classic, one of Andy C’s first tunes from 1991. I found this for 50 cents at Amoeba Records in Berkley a few years ago… score! Desired State – Dance The Dream
Bass Boyz feat. Tippa Irie – Hyper Hyper
Here’s a nice totally overlooked 94 ragga jungle tune. A lot of similar records go for serious cash now, but this tune is bare cheap… It has nice percussion (the congos reminds me of “Helicopter Tune”), decent vocals (took me a while to understand what the hell “twist me up just like a robot” even…
MC Riot & DJ Peanut – Flacid Ashback
Here’s a strange tune from 94 which sounds like it should have been made 2-3 years earlier. It’s pretty stripped down and minimal, but the production is solid and the synth melody is catchy. Maybe more of a mixing tune, but I like it a lot. DJ Riot & MC Peanut – Flacidashback
Tape Pack Sickness
Thanks to Noisemonkey @ Subvert Central for pointing this site out… Like the website name says, tons of sick tape packs. Enough to make me want to go buy an extra external hard drive and a temporary membership to megaupload. http://tapepacksickness.blogspot.com
The Eliminators – Soothe My Soul
This track is one of my all-time favorite early Happy Hardcore jams. It combines the breaks from Jonny L “Hurt U So”with a vocal most well known from (but not originally from) Justice + Mercy “Soothe My Soul”, as featured in this great carl cox video: There’s a few other classic samples in it. The…
Little Matt – Come Down (Coming On Stronger)
Here’s an early track by Matt Quinn aka Optical, who I previously posted tracks by here. I believe this is his first single ever. It’s not as good as the later Technarchi stuff but this track is nice. Little Matt – Come Down (Coming on Stronger)
Acen – Close Your Eyes (Metropolis Mix By Robert Vaughn) & Treadmill Cats
In anticipation of my next mini-interview, here’s a remix of Acen – Close Your Eyes by Robert Vaughn of Global (the interview is actually with Josh Kay). Not the strongest remix in the Metropolis series but “Close Your Eyes” is a great track so it’s still very listenable. [DISCOGS INFO] Acen – Close Your Eyes…
Capone – Massive
Here’s an alltime jungle anthem by some dude named DILLINJA… maybe you’ve heard of him??? I lost this record sometime while I was in college but managed to rebuy it a few years later. It’s the first release for Hardleaders and I can’t imagine a stronger start for a label. All the sample elements are…
