Here’s a track produced by Mark Acardipane, aka the mover / ace the space / alien christ / marshall masters / nasty django / a million more. It’s chock full of samples from other big tracks, including: synth ripped from Moby “thousand” beats ripped from Brother’s Grimm “Sign of the Times” effects ripped from Sonz…

Rhythm Rebel – Rhythm Rebel
This “Rhythm Rebel” EP is on the Kingsize Productions label, which is one of those lesser-known labels that has become much more in demand over the years. This EP isn’t the rarest, but is still pretty hard to come by… nice gritty and ultra low fi samples, alternating between a female vocal part and a…
Sir Spence – Non-Continuity EP
I picked up this Sir Spence – Non-Continuity EP recently, and at first I wasn’t totally sold on it. I finally got around to giving it some more listens recently, and it has really grown on me… to the point that it’s one of my better finds of 2008. The EP title is appropriate as…
2wice as Hard – Give it 2-em
Another quality US track, this time from Chicago. The B-side is really good too. Pitched up +8% because that’s how I always listen to it. 2wice As Hard – Give it 2 Em
Cameo – Money (Reese Hardcore Instrumental)
Here’s another Totally Essential All-Time Classic™. Super stripped down house beats, diva shrieks ala “Sweet Sensation” looped over and over and over and over until they burrow into your skull and make a nest there.Why don’t people still play this track? People should still play this track. Cameo – Money (Reese Hardcore Instrumental)
TNT – Till the Last Sucker Drops
Rough Tone put out some great EPs, including some really in-demand bits, like Ellis Dee – Ruffneck Bizznezz (which was reissued on a slamming vinyl comp LP) and the remix of DJ Ron – Crackman. One EP I don’t think I’ve ever heard people mention is TNT – “Till the Last Sucker Drops”. Overall this…
Timelapse – Sued For A Sample
Here’s one of those “hidden treasure” singles which may have gotten slept on because the B side is way better than the A side. This B1 track is great though. Another classy EP on Out of Romford, which did great New Decade and Desired State singles. Timelapse – Sued For A Sample
Positiv Noyz – HHavok 2
HHavok is a small obscure label which put out 2 EPs, both by Positiv Noyz (who Discogs claims are actually several of the core members of Nebula II). I remember seeing lots of copies of HHavok001 around and grabbed that EP ages ago.. it’s a fun white label. But it was only a couple of…
Easygroove @ Fantazia, New Year’s Eve 92-93
This mix is one of my top 3 or 4 favorite oldschool mixes ever. Technique-wise it’s far from perfect, but the track listing is absolutely insane… so many top notch lesser known or rarely played tracks! I got it a long time ago, was into it for a while, then completely forgot about it… years…
NRG – He Never Lost His Hardcore (Remix)
N.R.G. – “Feel the Fury Remix” EP is such an essential EP… You’ve got “I need your love”, maybe one of the most famous oldschool tracks ever… Plus “Feel the Fury (remix)” as featured on Speed Limit 140BPM / my favorite, and then this monster of a track, “He never Lost His Hardcore”…. I occasionally…
