Here’s a strange tune from 94 which sounds like it should have been made 2-3 years earlier. It’s pretty stripped down and minimal, but the production is solid and the synth melody is catchy. Maybe more of a mixing tune, but I like it a lot. DJ Riot & MC Peanut – Flacidashback

Formula 7 – Throwback
Here’s a nice Bizzy B engineered number I rescued from a bargain bin 2 weeks ago… Formula 7 put out some quality singles like “Time Stretch The Bass” and “Not Just Ragga”. This one has the standard Bizzy-engineered break craziness. Formula 7 – Throwback
DJ Spatts – Rock Me Slowly
Here’s a track by DJ Spatts of Criminal Minds, off a Various Artist 3 tracker on Section 12 Recordings. The other tracks are decent enough, including a tune by Steve Gurley of Foul Play and a remix of Criminal Minds by D’Cruze (good but nowhere near what I would expect from the combination of those…
Psychic Parasite – Come Back
Probably my favorite single by Biochip C, Psychic Parasite was a wicked breakbeat hardcore project by him and Claudius Debold aka BC Kid. More straightforward and less technoey than their other projects, the “100% piano free” EP on Riot Beats is one of the strongest non-uk breakbeat hardcore EPs ever. They also did a wicked…
DJ Devine & Essence – Ease Up
This is one of my favorite tracks on Production House, super choppy cut up breakbeat goodness. The 94 Production House stuff doesn’t seem to be nearly as in demand as the earlier releases, which is a shame because they put out some wicked tracks like this one. Starting with some dicey amen snares, the breaks…
Biochip C – Agoraphobia
Here’s something a little bit different, a totally slamming acid breakbeat track by Biochip C aka Martin Damm. Mr. Damm put out some amazing tunes under a variety of aliases (including the aforementioned Biochip C, Search & Destroy, Psychic Parasite, Biobreaks, Headhunter, etc). This track is from 94 but sounds like it’d mix perfectly with…
Count it off
Another theme post, i.e. a thinly veiled excuse to post a random smattering of tracks. This time, it’s tracks with some sort of counting in them. To start off, here’s one of my absolute favorite hiphop tracks ever – it’s fast and mixes perfectly well with earlier hardcore tunes. This version of “20 seconds to…
Assorted 93-94 Jungles
Here’s a few tracks of nice 93-94 choppy jungle.This first one I have no idea about – found it in a Bristol record shop and it was labelled as being by “slipmatt”, but I think that was just because it has the same catalog # as awesome records #1 (SL2 “the noise”), which is by…
Something a little strange… (Weird Beard)
One of the strangest groups I’ve come across while looking for good oldskool stuff is WEIRD BEARD from Germany. Here’s my thoughts after getting a few of their records, on the strength of one track (which happened to be their least, erm, weird) I just got Weird Works I – III a day ago, and…
Entire Kniteforce & KF sublabels backcatalog online as free mp3s!!
what the ffffuuuuuuu…… http://www.kniteforcerevolution.com/music First 15 Kniteforce Records are absolutely ESSENTIAL, but there are plenty of dope ones sprinkled after that. Also some great stuff on the sub labels like remix records, 2 croozin etc. Also, all this bandwidth is probably going to cost him a lot, so click that donate button on the front…
