Terrorize – Clap Your Hands
Speaking of “overlooked tunes on well-rinsed EPs”, here’s an oft-missed song by Terrorize. Their tune “It’s just a Feeling” was a huge huge track that was basically a 92 mix of “Playing with Knives”: You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video It was released numerous times on different labels (Hamster,…
Industrial – Renegade (Remix)
OK feeling a bit better, so let me try this writeup again… here’s another good release on Kinetix, the label which did the Outrageous – Tech Kore” EP I already posted. Most releases on kinetix were more technoey, however these two had their own catalog numbers (KX versus KINT), so maybe they were meant to…
DJ Phantasy’s Mate – Edit Vol 1
I’ve had this for a while and still get a chuckle whenever I come across the title – given how prolific certain producers were BITD, I wish other producers had been as straightforward as on this EP and put out singles named like this. It’d be funny to come across loads of records with titles…
Darkman – Escape from the Planet of the Zombie Droids
Here’s a record I’ve actually had in my sell/trade pile for 3 years or more… heard it recently in a mix and thought “oh yeah, I’ve got that!” I can still understand why I put this EP aside to sell, as it’s far more stripped down and simple than I prefer oldschool tracks to be…
DJ DR J – Rock Me (Journey Mix 1)
Someone was asking me to post even more 92 stuff, so even though I think I’ve been posting plenty of that stuff lately (see: JBL + Bigga post), here’s a somewhat hard to come by EP from that year. DJ DR J was one of the people involved with the 3 Sample – “Streets of…
JBL & Bigga – Respect
Here’s a totally manic 92 whitelabel track by JBL and Bigga. These two are relatively unknown but JBL also did the great “Lesson in Ruffness” EP with Ruff & Ready. Sorry my copy of this is a bit worn – still a total tune! Layered breaks, airhorns, tons of vocal samples – all the makings…
Emanuel – Internal Mind
Way back when I started this blog, one of the first EPs I featured was by Nick Ball. While I don’t know who this EP is by (no idea who Emanuel is), Nick Ball is listed as one of the producers on it. Both sides of this EP are strong tracks, with this side being…
DJ Massive – The Shaker Song (Fat Props)
Here’s an EP that I’m a bit hesitant to post since it’s such a top personal fav, but it still manages to stay under a lot of people’s radar – I would almost rather eventually drop it in a mix or something like that. But, it’s been ages since I recorded an oldskool mix, so…
Tic Tac Toe – Ephemerol
Here’s another one of those “how could I have gone 2 years without posting it” yet tracks. This one is by Simon Ratcliffe of Basement Jaxx, and is one of THE most essential hardcore whitelabels. The production is pretty low fi, but fits the track fine – a haunting piano loop, a multitude of break…
