One of the strangest groups I’ve come across while looking for good oldskool stuff is WEIRD BEARD from Germany. Here’s my thoughts after getting a few of their records, on the strength of one track (which happened to be their least, erm, weird) I just got Weird Works I – III a day ago, and…

DJ Milf (Yolk) 1992/93 Mix
I remember getting in a discussion recently with someone re: styles of mixing… The other person felt really strongly that it’s a DJ’s job to do the absolute best presentation of the songs they can. The beat-matching should be perfect, the mixing itself should be seamless, and the tracks should be kept in for a…
Drunken Masters
The Drunken Masters are much more known for their releases on Dope Ammo… but here’s a 1995 EP they did which is mega choppy, with lots of kung fu samples ala Source Direct.[DISCOGS INFO] Drunken Masters – Dragon Dance (Kung Fu Mix) Drunken Masters – Laughing Hyena (Original Mix)
Unknown Artist – the Asterix EP
A cool find of low-fi 92 stuff… I can’t seem to find any info on this and it seems not many people have it on discogs. The A side track goes on a bit too long but has some good sounds. This is definitely more for the obscurity heads though than general oldskool fans –…
91 Whitelabels
Assuming the “tag cloud” feature on here is to be trusted, I’ve been posting lots of 92 and later stuff recently. Here’s a couple of 91 favorites. This first one I just got on my recent trip to Europe… It’s a wicked 1991 white label with really solid production and tons of changeups / choppy…
Wednesday grab bag
Today’s selection is kind of varied, but it’s all awesome, very cheap and easy to find stuff. In case you’re wondering why I keep bringing up the price of records, that’s my none-too-subtle way of suggesting people who read this blog consider tracking down some of these tunes on vinyl. Don’t worry, I’m not about…
Entire Kniteforce & KF sublabels backcatalog online as free mp3s!!
what the ffffuuuuuuu…… http://www.kniteforcerevolution.com/music First 15 Kniteforce Records are absolutely ESSENTIAL, but there are plenty of dope ones sprinkled after that. Also some great stuff on the sub labels like remix records, 2 croozin etc. Also, all this bandwidth is probably going to cost him a lot, so click that donate button on the front…
Michael Jackson, look what you’ve done!
Here’s a slept-on track that’s easy to find. It isn’t a massive rager, and it took me a while to get into it, but after hearing it a few times over the years it’s definitely sunk in for me. Main things of note: The Michael Jackson vocal bits, which actually work with the tune and…
Moby – Go (1994 bootleg jungle mix)
Pretty self-explanatory… my copy is a white label that just says CP001 on it, decent track for sure. Corruption Productions – Go Again
Obama ‘Ardcore
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”,…
