OK, one more another mega obscurity. I promise I’ll get back to the slightly more well known stuff soon! Here’s something I found a few years ago while digging through non-UK oldskool jungle related listings on discogs (in this case, stuff from the US). I got it for a buck, had it in my sell…

The First Instalment – Enity A1
Here’s an interesting mega-obscurity supposedly on Entity Records. I’ve only ever seen two copies before. Gotta say, it’s one of these ones where you can kind of understand why it didn’t get a full release, but still it’s a fun tune with some nice moments and an absurd amount of samples chucked in the fray.…
8205/BTTO Record Sale @ Together Record Fair
I’ll be selling records at the Together Record Fair in Cambridge, MA this Saturday afternoon, May 21st, 4pm – 8pm. Hardcore/Jungle, Early Hiphop, House, Techno, Garage, all sorts of dance music really. Some super rare things, but LOTS and LOTS more relatively cheap ($3-8) obscure things being sold for $1-3. Big discounts on bulk buys…
Another Dimension – Twilight Zone (Key of Imagination Mix)
Here’s a long time favorite which still seems to be going for reasonably cheap, though the original is a bit harder to find. Strange since I definitely like the original, but this remix wins for me, no doubt about it. Nothing too crazy going on here element-wise. As you’d expect, you get the twilight zone…
BTTO Radio – May 15th 2016
Here’s the sets from Sunday night… despite little planning and no central theme, I think these went quite well! One of my better sets in a while, minus the terrible micwork (dropping the mic loudly and obnoxiously joking with chatroom regulars on the mic… I cut out a bit of that from this upload). Tim’s…
Blame & Justice – Murderin’ M.C.
Anybody into their hardcore knows Blame “Music Takes You” and Justice & Mercy “Sooth My Soul”. Before those two tunes though, Blame and Justice collaborated on this obscure hardcore bleeper on Chill Recordings. You can tell based on both these tracks that these guys were big into their hip hop back then (who wasn’t?). The…
X Amount Crew – “can’t do it alone” [unreleased, 1993]
A little story of an unreleased tune, MC Navigator, and sound clash culture of the 1980s…
8205-003
Just a quick note that my labels latest release is now up for pre-order… Out in 2 weeks! http://8205.bandcamp.com for the full info!
BTTO Radio May 3rd (Bargain Bin Special)
Here’s the proceedings from Sunday’s Jungletrain show. As explained in the previous post, this was meant to be a “Bargain Bin Special”, where Tim and I both dug through our collection for some of the cheapest stuff we could find. To do this efficiently, we went into Discogs under each of our collections, switched to…
