Continuing with the interview, part 1 is below. Also, anyone looking to contact Bay B Kane can email him at Different Aliases I will try to answer the question about all the different aliases which i released tracks under. First of all, lets see how many i can remember… Bay b Kane Kid Thunder Double…
Someone, somewhere must know about this unknown white label – VR001
note: this was originally posted by will/sublogic – pete For my first post here, it’s an unknown white label and a plea for any information about this – not one person I’ve played this to has any idea what it is, including the Discogs seller that mis-sold it to me as VR001 – Dr. Skuf…
Got Enya Hardcore?
I don’t have time to write up a comprehensive post on a single artist today… instead, here’s a collection of tunes that all share the same (in this case seriously cheesy) sample source: “Orinoco Flow” by Enya. The first track is from a good 92 whitelabel by DJ Trace – Supposedly titled “Rudeboy Hardcore” according…
Bay B Kane interview, part 1
Anyone who thinks they know oldschool but doesn’t own at least a few Bay B Kane releases should be ashamed of themselves! From 1990 to 1996, Mel Tanur aka Bay B Kane was one of the most prolific and influential hardcore/jungle producers around. Tracks like “Hello Darkness”, “Bagpipes in Effect” and “Quarter To Doom” are…
Out of Orda
I’d never heard of Out Of Orda until recently, when someone ripped me a clip of the “renegade” EP. After hearing the first 2 songs I was totally hooked. It’s got decent production and weird “not quite in tune” melodies which, in this case, work really well. After getting that EP on vinyl, I ended…
Teknarchi (aka Optical)
Long before he started putting out techstep jams, Optical (of Ed Rush & Optical fame) put out some tight tunes under several other aliases – Little Matt, Teknarchi, HEAD F.U.K.,even some suprisingly quality oldschool happy hardcore tunes as Just Another Artist. Here’s a couple of nice dark jungle tracks he put out: Teknarchi- Flashback Teknarchi…
Progression
Onto some non-white label but still very small label stuff- Progression put out a few quality EPs back in 1992. Their main big track was “on a rubbish tip”, which had several different versions split over their original EP on Ruff, Tuff & Wicked Stuff, as well as their EP on “Nuff Said Recordings” Progression…
2 Bad Mice playing in London
Just a quick note, I’m going to be playing a party in November with 2 Bad Mice and Lenny Dee. Click the flyer for more info:
Powerslide EP
Here’s a white label I know basically nothing about. It’s a decent 91 style track, not many people seem to have it on discogs. Pretty technoey, good diva vocals, acidy synths, etc. Not much else to say except check it out! Powerslide – Noise (Elevated Mix) [Discogs Info]
MC Duke
Plenty of oldschool hardcore producers started off as b-boys, hip-hop DJs, and even some as MC’s. Of those, few if any were as accomplished in hip-hop as MC Duke (real name Anthony Hillaire), who produced plenty of wicked jungle/hardcore alongside his DJ, DJ Leader 1. One of the greatest things about MC Duke is that…
