It’s been a while since I posted something pre-91, so here’s 2 really strong tracks from the Radioactive Lamb label… “Mohamed’s Mind” is a pretty well respected early single from back when hardcore was in its early stages, and seems to come from the same space (deep electro / industrial vibed tunes) as, say, Holy Ghost Inc. or some of the stuff on Vinyl Solution rather than poppy/vocal stuff of the time .
It was tough to choose which of these two tracks to post. “Mohameds Mind” has a classic breakbeat (Dynamic Corvettes – Funky Music Is Our Thing) looped up with hypnotic noises and facemelt acid on top.. serious headnod business!! “Let Yourself Go” is more electro sounding, real catchy stuff… I swear I knew that vocal stab’s source at some point, right now all I can think of is some more recent Armand Van Helden track that sampled it. The occasional doubled-up beats-as-delay sound is a bit rough, but that just adds to the charm and reinforces that this wasn’t some super slick Top-Of-The-Pops single, but something deeper and no doubt more heavily influential in the end.
Still waiting to track down the “no sellout” EP by them…
2 Kilos – Mohameds Mind
2 Kilos – Let Yourself Go
Oh yeah, here’s the original break if anyone is curious:
this is one of my favorite blogs, im always excited to learn about the jungle scene before i came along.
Love this blog, just found it searching for this track to play someone as the break features on the new Paradox “Ramifications” EP and this is where I heard it first. I have another white label of theirs with these tracks:
Fly Bongo Special
Lord Belvadier (Cathy, Angel, Daniella Mix)
Break Wonder
On My Trip
Mohameds Revenge Remake
