Here’s a well known favorite that I still play regularly in non-oldskool sets… in fact I just spun this out last Sunday at a club down the street. Nebula II were probably best known for this track and “Atheama”, and while “Atheama” is great, this is my favorite – massive low fi descending synth line,…

Wishdokta – Rush Hour (Last Minute Mix)
I used to think of Wishdokta more for his techno hardcore tracks like “Evil Surrounds Us” or his happy hardcore, but he also did some absolutely mental, absolutely essential 92-93 hardcore/jungle. This whole EP is great, but “Rush Hour” in particular checks all the boxes for me – fast and frantic, cut up and layered…
Code 4 – Code 4
Here’s a great 4 track EP which was featured in a few mixes, including an Easygroove summer 92 mix that’s one of my favorites. The A side features 2 mixes of a track called “Ecstasy”, which uses that famous whispered “ecstasy” sample plus a Dune sample more famously used in Smart Systems’ “The Tingler”. Both…
Sonz of a Loop Da Loop Era – Far Out (Mike Wertheim’s “Even Further Out” remix)
Here’s a remix that I remember was discussed a lot on B2VOS years back, it was some white label remix of Sonz of a Loop Da Loop Era’s “Far Out” which mashed up the original with Zero B’s “lock up”. As it turns out, the original source of this tune is one of those US…
Edge of Darkness – Come Together (After Dark Remix)
Ah, Dave Charlesworth…. nobody else can quite get that unbelievably manic vibe that he manages to on some of his After Dark Records + related releases. I got the original of this recently, but in my opinion this remix is even better. After Dark has got to me one of my all-time favorite labels and…
Xenophobia – Project 250
Xenophobia was a project featuring Grant Nelson (aka Wishdokta) and 2 other producers. The MC’ing (by MC Scallywag of Spiral Tribe) isn’t my favorite, but fits the track given how “live” this tune sound. Regardless of that, this tune is fucking CRAZY. I command you to press play and jump around / bob your head…
Rude Boy – Musicology
Sick bit on Biology Records here. I forget if I’ve posted any of their tracks before but they’re a somewhat underrated label. This is the first release and definitely one of my favs on the label, a solid ragga hardcore jam with the classic “Hardcore Will Never Die!” sample. A large portion of this track…
Naz AKA Naz – Organised Crime (Killer + Eye Spy mixes)
I’ve already posted plenty about 786/Deja Vu, but here’s two belters which I haven’t yet mentioned. “Organised Crime” was a large track perhaps on par with Naz AKA Naz’s other big tune “Started Again”… both of these were featured on comps back in the day, with “organised crime” being on one volume of Kickin’s Hardcore…
Rhythm ‘N’ Ryme – Luv Drug
I’ve been posting pretty frantic crazy tracks lately, so here’s a more melodic, simple and catchy track which is slightly reminiscent of “DJs Unite”. This track was written by MC Excel of the Asmo – Rushamuffin EP. Rhythm N Ryme – Luv Drug
Ent. T. – Altered State 1#
Here’s a wicked track on what I think is Tech Itch’s first EP , released on Ibiza Records. The EP is good overall: maybe a bit inconsistent, but at least 2 of the tracks are really strong, especially for fans of low-fi grimey 92 tunes. Here’s my favorite track. Impossibly fast breaks with crazily panned…
