Here’s a clip of the record I meant to buy when I instead bought that “The 2 – We is 1” single I posted last week. I’ve tried B2VOS and TuneId.com with no luck… If anyone has any leads on what this is, please drop me an email at the address to the right or…

S and A – Volume 1
Here’s a favorite of mine from 92/93. I recently mentioned the label Homegrown Records on here, saying that even though it ended up being a mostly happy hardcore label, early releases were standout not-too-happy hardcore/jungle tracks. Here’s an excellent example of this – S and A Volume 1. Despite being on a primarily happy hardcore…
The 2 – We Is 1
On with the obscurities… I picked this up after checking out a snippet of it which turned out to be from a different record. Ah well, this EP ended up being a decent slab of wax too. The B side (featured here) is a nice laid back breakbeat techno track, well arranged and tasteful. I…
Glide – All Right (Remix)
Here’s another “super cheap / why isn’t this record more in-demand?” track from Absolute 2. This remix record and the original EP were released on a sublabel called Absolute Groove which only released these two records. This mix was also released on the XL Recordings “Four Play” EP, along with tracks by Noise Factory, EQ…
Persian Prince – The Gorgon Wise EP
I had no idea about this record, checked it out since I didn’t recognize the title and was not disappointed – weird and cool ragga jungle engineered by Bizzy B. The timestretched vocal bit reminds me of Formula 7 “Timestretch the Bass”, and while I probably like that tune a bit more overall, this track…
Nice documentary clip on Sub Base / the Prodigy
I haven’t gone hunting for rave videos on youtube in a bit, but someone on b2vos just posted this documentary which is pretty nice. I still can’t believe how young all these producers were when they made these tunes!
The Headhunter – To the Sky
I got an email recently from someone who had run into an old friend of mine (hey Aaron!), who asked them to tell me to post more Psychic Parasite stuff… unfortunately, there’s only those 2 EPs, which I’ve already posted tracks from. However, Martin Damm (Biochip C) has plenty of other great tracks – here’s…
Mo2Vation – Animate (X-Plain Mix)
For as many years as I’ve been collecting this music, there’s always still some big singles that end up completely eluding my notice, or turning out to be something which I didn’t give enough of a chance to the first time I heard it. Here’s a perfect example – someone from another blog wrote to…
Prodigy 5/20/2009 in Boston
I ended up going to see The Prodigy last night in Boston, thanks to my buddy Greg hooking me up with a pass. Baltimoroder and Rage FuXX opened the show, playing lots of newer crowd pleasing stuff before slamming into some big oldschool, happy hardcore and dnb right at the end (to the screams of…
The Dica Crew – You Got Me
I just got this single recently, thinking it was by Dica of the “Weekend Rush” EPs on Boogie Beat. It sounds like it might not be, but I’m still not certain one way or the other… regardless, it’s decent 92 stuff that I’ve never heard before. The breaks aren’t as choppy or as heavy as…
