(Droid sez): Despite my outrageous truancy, Pete has given me another chance and generously allowed me back in to post this interview I did with Tango when he was in Dublin a couple of years ago. Big ups to the indomitable Ricky Force who allowed me to crash a production session in his mountaintop mansion for a couple of…

Nature Boyeeeee – Nuts N Noise (Arthur Baker And The Backbeat Disciples – “Silly Games (Bonesbreak Dub Mix)
Here’s an interesting US record I found over the weekend….despite having stickered artwork on the sleeve, there wasn’t any artist info attached. One side sounded like early house/breaks/proto-hardcore (especially when pitched up as here) with the classic Liz Torres “No more Mindgames” sample. The other side is the “Used to Salsa” mash-up, a version of…
ECT – Make It Right
Here’s a serious 92 whitelabel jam… pretty pricey and in-demand, though I’m not quite sure what mixes it’s featured in. Either way it’s definitely a strong record, with this side being a bit faster/crazier (though the other side is good as well).

Watika – Dark Mix 2
Here’s a really obscure 95 jungle EP.. Despite the record name it’s basically a Ragga jungle Record, though the music tends more towards dark stuff. Beat production isn’t amazing but definitely good enough, an interesting one to check for sure. Watika – Dark Mix 2
Impact Crew – Feels Good
Another serious Flex / De Underground related jam…. the melodies in here really couldn’t be anyone else! Aside from that we get nice breakbeats and a “Groove is in the Heart” sample. Impact Crew – Feels Good.mp3link removed pending posting on hardcore junglism
Killersound – What Is A Ragga Twin
First tune back, this EP is a definite longtime obscurity / second-hand bargain. According to a friend, “Ravin 2 Heaven” used to get played a lot, but my favorite here is the first track “What is a Ragga Twin”. Featuring a few super catchy ragga vocal bits (I assume at least one of which is…
…Back in Action!!
Well, that was a nice vacation!!! I took 2 weeks off from posting on here due to work commitments plus a few music things in Boston (organizing a crazy show that involved a DJ in France live streaming an A/V set in high-def to the party, plus played a mega b2b2b 3 hour set at…

There’s also an official soundcloud page now too! If go check the earliest posts on this blog, you know these guys…
