I’ve been kind of slow to upload lately since my main PC died, I can rip vinyl from my laptop but the software I wrote which auto-tags / labels /adds artwork to mp3s the way I like isn’t on this machine. So the ID3 tags are gonna be a bit weird for a while. Anyway, here’s a nice track I picked up not too long ago, I’d been meaning to get more on this label after tracking down the incredibly elusive and awesome 2 Track version of “Deeper”, which I play out all the time even in non-rave sets. This EP isn’t as good as that EP but is still pretty nice – the A side has a strong piano tune with heavily compressed/noisy amens and heavy 4beat underpinning. It’s a bit more anthem-y than these B side tracks, but this B1 track is nice too – solid beats, some piano, a bit of ragga, everything you’d expect from a 92-93 track.
Free Spirit – Optical Illusion download removed, now for sale on beatport!
Once again! Excellent choice here.. This tune’s been in my recordbag since day one.. Always liked the intro (Sampling “House Of Pain – Jump Around”). And that piano is something little different you’ve used to, more straight forward.. 😉
Love the piano on this one .. proper uplifting tune!
Only picked this one up a few months back.
One of my creations along with Spaced.
Now available @ Juno Download
Thanks, great to know! I’ve disabled the download if you send me the link it can be bought at I’ll add that in instead.
If you want I can remove the streaming as well from here / replace it with a juno player.
Respect for doing such great tunes! “Deeper” is still one of my all-time favorite anthems (one of the versions on the 2 track copy, which I definitely prefer to the 3 track one)
Will get you the juno player sent over Pete.
