Here’s a nice single I picked up while in the UK recently – raging lowfi 93 ragga hardcore stuff. Pretty rough production for 93, but not to a complete fault, i.e. the beats still punch pretty hard. The Funky Dread Squad – Give Me

Outrageous – The Techkore EP
Here’s a nice underrated EP, B side is so-so but the A side is quality… well worth picking up. My favorite of the 4 tracks is “feel the panic”, which (as the title suggests) combines a bit of the massively sampled Hijack “Badman is Robbin’” acapella with a sample which I think is from a…
2 White Boyz – Mum Said
The following isn’t exactly a dancefloor smasher, more of a fun oddity that I really like dropping in mixes. It’s been in the crate by my turntables for a month now, so up it goes to the blog… I really like the bleep sounds peppered throughout the track, pretty unexpected along with the extreme panning…
Tribal Instincts – Coming On Strong
This first track is on the Out of Orbit label, which was a sublabel of Orbital Records (who released solid EPs like The After Dark EP and DJ Trace – Inception). Tribal Instincts – Coming On Strong Next, here’s the original M-D-Emm track as sampled in the previous tune… Tons of chopped riffs in this,…
X-Mas Grab Bag
Merry Christmas, here’s a few quality tracks for your ear stockings…. First two tracks are by Jon Doe, aka CLSM. This first track is from 1995… Discogs says 1993, but I don’t believe that date since there’s none on the record and the other track has some retriggery/choppy stuff that didn’t really feature in happy…
Count it off
Another theme post, i.e. a thinly veiled excuse to post a random smattering of tracks. This time, it’s tracks with some sort of counting in them. To start off, here’s one of my absolute favorite hiphop tracks ever – it’s fast and mixes perfectly well with earlier hardcore tunes. This version of “20 seconds to…
Assorted 93-94 Jungles
Here’s a few tracks of nice 93-94 choppy jungle.This first one I have no idea about – found it in a Bristol record shop and it was labelled as being by “slipmatt”, but I think that was just because it has the same catalog # as awesome records #1 (SL2 “the noise”), which is by…
Mega City 2
Here’s some qualty darkness for today… Mega City 2 are most well known for “Darker Side of Evil”, a track which heavily samples the movie Predator 2. They also did a nice 4 tracker called “Demons By Daylight”, which is an absolute horror movie / ominous synth sample-fest. The two tracks featured below are probably…
RIP Oliver Postgate
just read about this on BlissBlog yesterday. Bagpuss Creator Dies Relevant 92 tune, cashing in on the “Charlie” / “Sesame’s Treet” thing & nicking the piano from “Far Out” along the way. DJ Burnz – Bagpuss (Bagpuss on 8 Mix) Another track for today, not connected but one of my absolute favorites and one which…
DJ Seduction – Bleep Bleep Mash Mash
A year before putting out the massive anthem “Hardcore Heaven” on FFrreedom, DJ Seduction released a much-less-known EP of bleepy Warp style hardcore goodness. The production on this is great, with nice layering of drum machine hits with breaks, good track structure, etc. The bpm is pretty low (125 and 127 bpm for the A…
