A friend borrowed my turntable needles so I haven’t been able to rip vinyl for the past few days. Therefore, here’s a track off a CD compilation. Incidentally, this comp also features the last track I posted (Raving Mad – Adrenaline), though it’s cut a minute or two short on there. This track is also…

Raving Mad – Adrenaline (Remix)
I’ve had this tune stuck in my head for a while now… I’m pretty sure I didn’t even like it that much the first few times I heard it, but between the piano part and the “we’re gonna rock you” chant, it’s definitely wormed its way into my brain. Raving Mad – Adrenaline (Remix)
Acid Beard Massive – Cheeky Rush EP
Here’s a nice EP by Julian Cobb aka Hellfish, Secret Squirrel, Minister-so-Sinister, Undercover Elephant, and many others. You’ve got to love 4 track EPs where each track is good, and this is definitely one of those EPs. The tunes on “Cheeky Rush” range from borderline happy hardcore (“Sweetest Feeling”), to more straightahead, slightly dark hardcore/jungle…
Cookie – Functioning
I got this EP today because it sounded really weird and I had never heard of it before. It’s actually pretty mediocre in my opinion, but the artist name / label name (“beast baseball”) / obscurity factor provided sufficient WTF-age to convince me to drop a buck or two on it. To be honest, I…
DBL Productions – Happiness
Here’s one of my all-time favorite piano hardcore tunes, which I’ve been holding off posting so as to not run out of goodies early on. DBL Productions – Happiness “Happiness” samples the Sinammon – “Need You Now” acapella, used in Sonz of a Loop Da Loop “Far Out”, D’Cruze “Want You Now”, and, oh, about…
Krazy Kidz – Volume 1
Here’s another one of the underrated tracks on 786 Records/Deja Vu. I believe this tune is produced by Dream, who (as somebody pointed out in the comments on this blog) also did the great “Power of Darkness” tune which I have yet to score. This track takes about a minute and a half to get…
Jack Ruby – For Adults Only
Here’s some quality 94 amen choppage. Nothing too out there, just well engineered beats, sick dred bass and, erm.. sex sounds. The bass and beats remind me a bit of DJ SS “Rollidge” or “Lighter”. Jack Ruby (AKA DJ Zinc) did a number of good 94 jungle EPs which are all somewhat under-appreciated and go…
Hannibal Lecter – Volume 1 & MC Lenny – AJD
Here’s a reasonably well known known but often overlooked release, the Hannibal Lecter EP. Grimey samples plus solid beats. I’ve got to admit that a lot of this charm in this track for me comes from the video game melody, but regardless of that, it’s a fun tune to throw into a mix. This tune…
