Here’s an all-time classic that some of you (mostly people in the states) probably know this track from the Speed Limit 140BPM comp on Moonshine, a comp which exposed a LOT of Americans to hardcore/jungle just as this label’s Happy 2B Hardcore comps exposed a lot of people to happy hardcore. This track is far…

Bribe – Goldseal
This rip today sounds pretty rough since it’s recorded off a Numark PT-01 portable turntable… my 12’s are locked up in a truck somewhere since I played a crazy party last night in Boston. This track is already pretty low fi to begin with though. “Goldseal” is off the excellent Headhunters Recordings label, which only…
Intellex – The Argon EP
I’ve had two Belgian buddies staying at my place for the past 2 days, so not much time for a post… so here’s a generic post about a “cheap but awesome” single: sick tunes not sure why this isn’t more in demand bought for $1 plenty of copies on discogs 5 tracks ranging from pretty…
Lory D & Leo Anibaldi on TV circa 1992
Thanks to Rocco for pointing me to this video.
We R 3 – Happiness
I just had a pretty rough night Saturday; finding this record on Sunday almost made up for it. “Happiness” is a dead-simple piano stormer, something which doesn’t share ANY of the characteristics which initially drew me to oldschool (those being the chopped and layered beats, crazy sample usage, etc). Instead, this track is just a…
Sub Terra – Storm
Here’s another personal favorite from 92 – nice piano and female vocals, less anthemy and euphoric than other stuff I’ve posted lately. The drums are pretty low-fi and muted, but the vocals and music more than make up for it. According to discogs, Sub Terra was Jan Citadel of Kaos and Simon Carter (aka Crystal…
Corky & Yaka – Subaqua
This is probably the only track in my whole collection I actually listen to pitched DOWN instead of UP (not counting records I pitch down -8 because I’m playing them on 45 instead of 33). It’s on another solid EP that goes for practically nothing, which mostly features 92 choppy amen tracks. However, this track…
Splice & Syko – Twilight Zone (50/50 Mix)
I posted that DBL productions track recently, but here’s another gem from Parliament Music. Like Bogwoppa records, Parliament Music specialized in super-gritty tracks with plenty of chopped samples, with a focus on more “out there” / interesting stuff rather than simple corny anthems. This track is probably the strongest on the EP… there’s vocal samples…
Strange Obscurities: Parabox “Silvermachine” + Justice EP
Here’s a couple of really strange singles I’ve ended up with that are more obscure and interesting than they are awesome… but I think they’re still worth posting for some of the nerdier oldschool collectors on here like me, who really wonder about each and every obscure white label. Parabox “Silvermachine” features three remixes of…
Citadel of Kaos – Ronnie’s Revenge
Here’s another relatively well known oldschool tune, but since I finally just bought a copy it warrants posting… I’ll get back to the obscurities soon enough. “Ronnie’s Revenge” is excellent 92 hardcore/jungle with a happy bent, made by Jan Salisbury (who went on to keep the Citadel of Kaos name for doing happy hardcore stuff…
