Just read about this on B2VOS… Spacework did some great tunes, I especially like the “aqua rhyme/cocaine problem smartass!” EP. Big respect to him for sharing them all on soundcloud! I’m not sure how long these will stay downloadable so grab them while you can. Latest tracks by Spacework

Neuromancer – Pennywise (Mickey Finn & Bay B Kane “2 Twisted” Mix)
It’s been a while since my last post, was away in NYC for a bit etc… to make up for it, here’s a stone cold CLASSIC, which every supposed oldskool fan should have. I bought the original of this tune while in NYC after only having this remix EP for years and years…. now that…
Family Foundation – Express Yourself
It’s pretty rare that I get to post tunes that were big enough to warrant videos on MTV, but here’s one. “Family Foundation” were one of those acts that combine really poppy / almost eurodancey melodies and over the top female vox with jungle/hardcore breaks, ala Dream Frequency. This track was first (I think?) released…
Under D-Influence – Brand New 49T2
Look here, another great early single by DJ Spice…. the original from Soapbar, not the dnb one on Fokuz. DJ Spice is not credited on the EP, but his Soapbar release shared a title with the artist name on this (Under D-Influence). Hardcore Vinyl has a pretty excellent track record, and this EP does not…
Drastik Plastik – Stress
This tune exemplifies the kind of stuff I like posting on this site the most: not your standard choppy amen tracks, but earlier more “out there” hardcore tunes. Frantic synth parts, tempo changes, drastic changeups, “where the hell did THAT come from?!!” samples. Drastik Plastik did a few other EPs, this tune is probably my…
Skanna – Ceasefire
Away on vacation at the moment with no access to turntables, so here’s a youtube clip of a tune I’ve got on wax/will post when I get back. Skanna needs no introduction, one of the best oldskool artists 93-95, most well known for his heavily in demand EPs like “nightstalker”. This EP is a bit…
DJ EZ & DJ Action G – Hit the Roof EP
Here’s a nice early EP by DJ Ez and Action G… this EP is melodic 92 hardcore style stuff, featuring 2 mixes of the main track. This mix featured on the B side drops the “I know I’m rushing” sample from Sir James “special”, instead using the female vocal from The Step “Yeah You”, most…
Splice – Break it Down
Here’s some gloriously grimey 92 stuff… Parliament Records at it’s best. Wave after wave of samples layered up and chopped to hell and back. No big catchy hook melodies, just absolute sample madness!! Splice – Break it Down
Mesonic – Right On Time
Here’s an obscurity which has picked up value in the past year or two… it’s no wonder, since both sides are really solid late 91 / early 92 sounding hardcore tracks. I picked the A side to post since it’s a bit weirder, the B side is great too… much more of a feel-good piano…
Origination – R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Remix
Here’s an easy to find one by Origination, AKA Photek and Lexis. The first Origination single “Breakdown” is pretty in demand, but I see this slightly later single all the time and for cheap – not sure why, as it’s still a great single. The “R.E.S.P.E.C.T.” remix here is wicked, pretty similar to the original…
