Here’s a few early (1989 + 1992) hardcore tracks that were produced in the United States. Dennis Pino did several good EPs 91-92 as Breakout’s and World Dominance. There’s definitely more of a techno influence to these. “Compression” seems to be the biggest track on Breakout’s II, but my personal favorite is “Don’t Hold Back”,…

Dopeski & Jakes
The weather has been pretty cold and shitty in Boston lately, so here’s some 93 darkness courtesy of Dopeski & Jakes. First up is the Snowstorm EP on Wardance Records. “Snowstorm” has all the trappings of a quality early darkside tune – twisted synths, chopped beats, screams, etc. “Cantankerous” is the lightest of the four…
Dave Charlesworth Obscurity + Nookie jam
Bit of a mixed bag again today, starting tommorow I’ll go back to more concept-based posts… with this giant pile of random new records at my feet, it’s tempting to keep throwing random quality tracks up. This first tune is on the After Dark sublabel Time Travel Records. Based on that fact, plus the heavy…
Europe Trip Finds, vol 3 – more bargain bins
Continuing with stuff I grabbed in europe, here’s a nice jungle obscurity that only goes for a couple euros… no date for it on discogs, but based on the sound it’s almost definitely from 94. Siege – Deep (Part I) The next is something I grabbed in Madrid, Spain… Overdrive isn’t exactly my favorite label,…
Europe trip finds, vol 2 – Scotland
For the last part of my trip in Europe, I stopped off to play a show in Edinburgh, Scotland. Great city, but unfortunately there weren’t many stores there with good oldschool stuff. The two stores I found which did have a decent selection of old stuff were clearly pricing direct off discogs (one store didn’t…
Europe Trip finds, vol 1 – London Bargain bins
Since I just got back from a 3 week vacation across Europe, I’ll probably be posting a lot about my various record finds from there over the next few weeks. First up is the UK.. Anybody into jungle who has been to UK record shops over the past few years knows that hardcore has gotten…

DJ Fokus
DJ Fokus is without a doubt one of my favorite of the lesser known 93-95 artists. Originally releasing on the label Blueprint Records, his first release “The Theme” bw “Disengaged” is an in-demand amen smasher, fetching high prices these days. He followed this EP up with a solo outing on the same label, before releasing…
Mind Therapy, Part 2
I already did an entry on Mind Therapy, but only scratched the surface w/ the one EP mentioned there (admittedly a great record). Here’s several more bits of their stuff. Their first EP was on the Jack In The Box label. This label was more of a distributor (I’ve definitely seen a sticker from them…
Someone, somewhere must know about this unknown white label – VR001
note: this was originally posted by will/sublogic – pete For my first post here, it’s an unknown white label and a plea for any information about this – not one person I’ve played this to has any idea what it is, including the Discogs seller that mis-sold it to me as VR001 – Dr. Skuf…
