Alec Empire just posted up a track off the “Bass Terror” EP for Free DL on soundcloud… it’s a great EP, a must for both oldskool and breakcore fans… most accounts on there are limited to 100 downloads so grab it quick! Easygroove used to play a few tracks from this, and I finally nabbed…

Mental Babies – Land of Confusion
WARNING: THIS TUNE MAY GET A GENESIS SONG STUCK IN YOUR HEAD. PROCEED WITH CAUTION!! Mental Babies was a project by Steve of Noise Overload (have I posted anything by them yet? If not I will) as well as a few other people. As the name implies, “Land of Confusion” rips the the song “Land…
On 1 Crew – Let Em Ave It EP
Here’s a rare and in demand EP… It’s good, but to be honest I think this record’s scarcity surpasses the actual quality of the music itself. Still, 4 quality tracks and a killer discogs want/have ratio = worthy of posting… I’ll get back to the bare cheap stuff you all should be buying soon enough…
Raw From China – Raw From China !!! Remix (The Omen)
Someone was asking about this recently so here it is… a pretty overlooked darkside track from 1993. The break production lets this track down a bit but the music is wicked, definitely something I’ve thrown in mixes before and would play again. I’m not sure who Raw From China was but all their releases were…
Formicula 4 – Formic Acid
Here’s something a little different… a 91 techno track by several German producers including Mike Ink. Maybe not congruent with what I normally post but who cares… “this is acid… I’m gonna give you acid!!” Formicula 4 – Formic Acid
Jim Polo – Phantasy’s
Here’s a nice overlooked EP – serious deep + dark vibes on this one. Jim Polo did a number of EPs between 93 and 94: some solo, some with Neil Vass. He also co-ran the essential darkside label Dark Horse Records. The label’s biggest tune was probably Rolling Energy, though all the releases on Dark…
DJ FT – Stop Lick The Crack
When I think of classic ragga jungle labels, “Flying Fish” isn’t exactly one which pops to the front of the list. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a decent label with enough decent releases, but I’ve heard a number of them and none really blew me away. Here’s a tune though which has really grown on…
Rave MMX
Code 4 – Code 4
Here’s a great 4 track EP which was featured in a few mixes, including an Easygroove summer 92 mix that’s one of my favorites. The A side features 2 mixes of a track called “Ecstasy”, which uses that famous whispered “ecstasy” sample plus a Dune sample more famously used in Smart Systems’ “The Tingler”. Both…
Hyper-On Experience – “Consciousness” (unreleased)
Someone was asking about this never-released Hyper-On / Bukem collab tune, so I decided to rip it today from the one set I believe it was featured in – an LTJ Bukem Yaman mix from 94 or so. Props to Hardscore for hosting the original mix. I’m pretty sure Bukem plays almost the entire track…
