Here’s one of my favorite 93 tracks… moody hardcore/jungle with tasteful orchestra stabs, brooding soundtrack ambience and fantastic sharp choppy drums layered perfectly by Pete Parsons. There’s a breakdown halfway through where you can practically hear the more euphoric 92 sounds of hardcore melting away into 94 darkside, as the classic “rush!” and “do it…

Menace Makes 3 – Do You Feel What I’m Feelin
Massive piano anthem here. There’s a great remix on this EP by Matrix Rise (heavily underrated act on Mutant Records), but the original wins out. Menace Makes 3 – Do You Feel What I’m Feeling
Holy Ghost aka Ouija Board – Spirit Player EP
Here’s a nice EP I got in the UK last weekend. Holy Ghost are most well known for “Nice One Boy”, a 92 track which inexplicably made it big (music video on MTV) despite having a deep, dark and dreary vibe lightyears away from the euphoric hardcore which was comercially successful at the time. WOEBOT…
EOAD – Love The Feeling
US crew might know this track from the second “Speed Limit” comp on Moonshine. It’s one of those Ibiza Recs tracks that combines straightahead melodic female vocals with their own weird Ibiza Recs sounds, a mixture which is always enjoyable for me. Another find from a UK bargain bin last weekend… EOAD – Love The…
Princess Of The Posse
One of the lesser known aliases on Labello Blanco, Princess of the Posse put out two great singles plus a few comp tracks. It appears that POTP was actually Bug Khan, of “Made In Two Minutes” and “Go Down Baby” fame. The first EP has a bit more hardcore influence, including a a great overly…
Dance Floor Justice – Hip Hop Hardcore EP
Bought this on a whim based on the nice logo / the fact that a lot of B-Boy hardcore is really wicked (Criminal Minds, Sonz of a Loop Da Loop, etc). It might not stand up to those acts, but this definitely a nice release. The B side features a decent piano remix by Terrorize…
Chris Energy – My Vision is Clear
Chris Energy did a bunch of singles on HNR Records which are OK but pretty inconsistent. Some of the tracks are good but a lot are are really rough (both soundwise and song-wise). Still, you often see a lot of these HNR Records around for bare cheap, so they’re worth dropping on a turntable and…
DJ Exodus & Woody, take 2
Earlier today I posted a youtube video of the DJ Exodus & Woody “A Classic Skank” EP, which is probably my favorite Skeleton Records EP but one I haven’t tracked down yet. By sheer luck, the guy who originally posted the youtube video (freaky2uk) left a comment and emailed me the tracks. Thanks man! Normally…
Syko & Mak – Comin’ Direct
Awesome grimey stuff from the Parliament Record Shop, featuring the vocal bit from George Kranz “Din Daa Daa”, as used in Shut up and Dance – 5.6.7.8 The only single I don’t have by this these guys is The Homicide EP, which I tried to buy once but got sent the wrong record Syko &…
DJ Red Alert & Mike Slammer – F*ckin Hardcore
Just got a second copy of this EP… Red Alert & Mike Slammer did some amazing low-bit amiga jams that are still easy to pick up thanks to Slammin Vinyl keeping them in press… this track is one of my favorites. DJ Red Alert & Mike Slammer – Fuckin Hardcore
