I’ve never understood why this EP isn’t more in-demand… while there’s no complete “lose your mind it’s so good, best of 93” tunes on it, it is a 5 tracker of which ALL the tracks are solid and playable, and a few are really nice. Despite that, it seems to go for very little and…

Hard Rhythm Productions – This Generation (New Era Remix)
Here’s a single I picked up last year in the UK… I can’t remember exactly, but I think I found it one of those open-air markets. It features a remix by New Era, who I’ve been looking for stuff by for a while. All other New Era EPs are near impossible to find / go…
Fantastic Max – Things That You Do (F Project 002)
Here’s a track off the excellent F Project label, an offshoot of Formation Records run by Mark Yorath. It’s one of their early classics which is easily identifiable due to the samples… maybe not as in-demand as some other EPs on the label, but a great track nonetheless. [DISCOGS INFO]Fantastic Max – Things That You…
Anti-Chaos – Crazy Jungle
Here’s a super catchy and fun 93 track, I remember buying it for the B side which I’ve heard in a couple mixes, but the A side (this track) is a great tune too and probably a better “listening” track. I don’t think Anti-Chaos did anything else, which makes this single all that more impressive.…
Desired State – Dance The Dream
Here’s an all-time classic, one of Andy C’s first tunes from 1991. I found this for 50 cents at Amoeba Records in Berkley a few years ago… score! Desired State – Dance The Dream
Bass Boyz feat. Tippa Irie – Hyper Hyper
Here’s a nice totally overlooked 94 ragga jungle tune. A lot of similar records go for serious cash now, but this tune is bare cheap… It has nice percussion (the congos reminds me of “Helicopter Tune”), decent vocals (took me a while to understand what the hell “twist me up just like a robot” even…
MC Riot & DJ Peanut – Flacid Ashback
Here’s a strange tune from 94 which sounds like it should have been made 2-3 years earlier. It’s pretty stripped down and minimal, but the production is solid and the synth melody is catchy. Maybe more of a mixing tune, but I like it a lot. DJ Riot & MC Peanut – Flacidashback
Tape Pack Sickness
Thanks to Noisemonkey @ Subvert Central for pointing this site out… Like the website name says, tons of sick tape packs. Enough to make me want to go buy an extra external hard drive and a temporary membership to megaupload. http://tapepacksickness.blogspot.com
The Eliminators – Soothe My Soul
This track is one of my all-time favorite early Happy Hardcore jams. It combines the breaks from Jonny L “Hurt U So”with a vocal most well known from (but not originally from) Justice + Mercy “Soothe My Soul”, as featured in this great carl cox video: There’s a few other classic samples in it. The…
Little Matt – Come Down (Coming On Stronger)
Here’s an early track by Matt Quinn aka Optical, who I previously posted tracks by here. I believe this is his first single ever. It’s not as good as the later Technarchi stuff but this track is nice. Little Matt – Come Down (Coming on Stronger)
