Here’s a track by DJ Spatts of Criminal Minds, off a Various Artist 3 tracker on Section 12 Recordings. The other tracks are decent enough, including a tune by Steve Gurley of Foul Play and a remix of Criminal Minds by D’Cruze (good but nowhere near what I would expect from the combination of those…

Search And Destroy – Iron Man
Another favorite track of mine by Biochip C, this is on the classic Gabber label Mokum, aside from some 4/4 in the background though this is heavily breakbeat driven, with some nice choppy breaks in the beginning. Check the genius wtf-worthy chorus part that makes the song! The original is actually on this release as…
Psychic Parasite – Come Back
Probably my favorite single by Biochip C, Psychic Parasite was a wicked breakbeat hardcore project by him and Claudius Debold aka BC Kid. More straightforward and less technoey than their other projects, the “100% piano free” EP on Riot Beats is one of the strongest non-uk breakbeat hardcore EPs ever. They also did a wicked…
2 Da Core – Super-Ragga Sunday
Here’s 2 great tracks by 2 Da Core, best known for their “Rub a Dub” single. That main tune (which you might recognize from mix tapes, it’s that tune with the “I’m… just a rub-a-dub soldier…” sample) is great, but I prefer the B side which has some nasty squelchy synths. 2 Da Core’s other…
The Rave Doctor – Lost In Bass EP
Here’s one of the first EPs by Dave Wallace, the man responsible for great tracks like My God and Mind Games, not to mention some of the more underrated and overlooked 94-95 Moving Shadow releases. He’s also a current member of Aquasky. This single is a pretty varied 4 tracker, and this first a-side tune…
1st Prodject – Right Before (rmx)
I just noticed a post on B2VOS that 92 Retro might be doing a pressing of unreleased Fokus tunes, including an unreleased remix of the the following track. It’s by Tim Taylor, best known for Egyptian Empire – Horn Track and Istanbul. The original of this tune was on Fokus 001, and the remix is…
DJ Exodus & Woody, take 2
Earlier today I posted a youtube video of the DJ Exodus & Woody “A Classic Skank” EP, which is probably my favorite Skeleton Records EP but one I haven’t tracked down yet. By sheer luck, the guy who originally posted the youtube video (freaky2uk) left a comment and emailed me the tracks. Thanks man! Normally…
Syko & Mak – Comin’ Direct
Awesome grimey stuff from the Parliament Record Shop, featuring the vocal bit from George Kranz “Din Daa Daa”, as used in Shut up and Dance – 5.6.7.8 The only single I don’t have by this these guys is The Homicide EP, which I tried to buy once but got sent the wrong record Syko &…
Turntable Symphony – Instructions Of Life
Most tunes I can easily break down and describe why I think they’re so great. Then there’s tunes like this one, which I really can’t say much about but which I still love to the core. It’s just amazing uplifting 91 stuff. One thing to note is the artists behind it: Turntable Symphony was aka…
DJ Red Alert & Mike Slammer – F*ckin Hardcore
Just got a second copy of this EP… Red Alert & Mike Slammer did some amazing low-bit amiga jams that are still easy to pick up thanks to Slammin Vinyl keeping them in press… this track is one of my favorites. DJ Red Alert & Mike Slammer – Fuckin Hardcore
