Here’s another track from The Easygroove NYE 92-93 Fantazia Set… Realistically I’m not sure if I’d like this track very much were it not for listening to that mix over and over. But, I did, and so it’s definitely grown on me (even though I still expect to hear parts of “hardcore piano” kicking in…

Formula 7 – Dark Star
Here’s a great track by Formula 7 of Quayside recordings. It wasn’t my favorite track at first, but after hearing it over and over in a Ratty mix I really started to like it – the constantly pitch shifted vocals with layered non-pitch shifted think break hits on top, coupled with the strange melodies really…
Urban Shakedown – Summer Break
When I posted an Aphrodite track recently, it reminded me of another great track he (co)produced. Pretty much everyone who reads this site knows about Some Justice. here’s the video in case you’re the one person who doesn’t: While “Some Justice” was a huge tune caned by everyone and their immediate family, there was another…
Anyone having trouble loading the site?
I’ve been having some trouble with my Hosting Company lately… it’s my fault for going with a notoriously not-so-great hosting company simply because they were the biggest/easiest option and one of the original people who agreed to write for this site worked for them (ironically that person never even ended up writing anything for this…
Aphrodite – Raw Motion
Here’s an all-time classic that some of you (mostly people in the states) probably know this track from the Speed Limit 140BPM comp on Moonshine, a comp which exposed a LOT of Americans to hardcore/jungle just as this label’s Happy 2B Hardcore comps exposed a lot of people to happy hardcore. This track is far…
Undercover Anarchist – Artcore
Here’s a great breakbeat track on a gabber/”artcore” label out of the Netherlands, Ruffneck Records. According to discogs, the guy who wrote this record(Patrick van Kerckhoven) was also the label head and was heavily interestered in bringing breakbeat sounds into dutch hardcore, under the name “art-core” (not to be confused with The jungle ARTCORE). This…
Edcase – Ed’s Venture
Here’s a single that typifies what I like to post most on this blog – obscure but excellent singles which are still easy to find for anybody “in the know” enough to be aware of them. Normally I just post one track from an EP, but both sides of this EP are great in their…
Natural Forces – The Solid Rock Tune
Here’s another nice choppy amen tune by W. Wilson AKA Subnation (“Scottie”) and Warrior Bass. Nothing too out of the ordinary here, nice melodies and well chopped beats. This tune reminds me a bit of Studio Pressure stuff. Natural Forces – The Solid Rock Tune
N-Zo & DJ Invincible – Ease Yourself
Here’s a nasty 94 amen smasher I nabbed recently… big synths lead off the track along with the vibettes humpty dump break (as used by Photek), before the “ease yourself into consciousness” vocal drops and massive chopped amens come crashing down. Great stuff, also a cheap and easy to find single. N-Zo & DJ Invincible…
Joe 90 & Dr. Font – Ghostown
Here’s a track that’s definitely an acquired taste for some… I’m not sure I even liked it much at first, but it’s gotten stuck in my head a few times, in no small part due to the music. The horns do a nice job propelling the track along ala “Living in Darkness”, alternating with a…
