Just a quick update on 8205-002. We’ve gotten the artwork back and it is looking quite nice! The art for this release was done by Schmee, who for years ran the website for Planet Mu. Schmee was actually one of the very first people to contact me when I started blogtotheoldskool 6-7 years ago, so…
Fallout – Lullaby
Here’s a fun tune that pops up for cheap fairly often, which I finally nabbed recently. It’s produced by DJ Fallout, of “Storm Warning” and many excellent collab tunes with Tango fame. In fact, this track features the same ominous pads used in Tango & Fallout – Positive Chaos, a quite well known and in…
Radio Frontline Darkside set 10/4/2014
Here’s one of two netradio sets I did this weekend. This first one was on Radio Frontline, and was the first darkside set I’ve played in a while. I tried to alternate between really obscure unknown tracks and well known classic stuff, so hopefully just when it’s getting too anorak a familiar tune pops in…
Blog to the Oldskool Radio – September 21st (Chicago / Detroit / UK House & Techno special)
Here’s my set of mine from a week and a half ago on jungletrain. Instead of playing any hardcore/jungle, I decided to bust out a bunch of my best Chicago, Detroit and UK house and Techno vinyl… labels like Trax & KMS, some UK bleep stuff, etc. Lots of moderately rare and hard-to-find records, though…
Bay B Kane – new Digital Reissues
I recently got pointed to these Bay B Kane reissues which have come out digitally. As much as I love and am focused on collecting vinyl, the fact is plenty of people prefer digital now, so it’s great that both classic Bay B Kane tracks and some unreleased tunes are making it to official digi-release.…
8205-002 Release Info: DJ Exodus & Head Pressure – “Dreadkiller” EP
After what seems like ages waiting for the right moment to release info, it’s finally time for the next 8205 release info to come to light: DJ Exodus + Head Pressure – The Dreadkiller EP. This release, done in collaboration with 7th Storey Projects, contains four absolutely wicked tracks by DJ Exodus + Head Pressure…
Mad Ragga Jon + Stetly – Fall Down on Me
A year ago I posted a nice track by DJ Massive called “Fall Down”, which people sometimes mistake for another tune with the same sample.. well,this is that other tune. The Mad Ragga Jon version here is the more well known of those two and, dare, I say, a bit better (though the DJ Massive…
Bad Bone & Tyrel – I Wanna Sex U Up
I haven’t posted a tune in ages, so yesterday I walked over to my crates and pulled a record entirely at random. I didn’t really like that first record though, so I grabbed the record next to it, which was this one. Here’s one of the countless fast and naughty jungle re-licks cranked out on…
Blog to the Oldskool Radio – September 7th 2014
Here’s the blog to the oldskool set from last Sunday on jungletrain. I know I seem to post more of these sets than tunes these days, but this is my favorite one I’ve recorded in a while. Chock full of personal fav tunes, including some well known tracks (the opening Peshay, Liftin Spirits etc) as…
Tim Reaper – Blog to the Oldskool Radio August 24th 2013
It’s been a while, but, finally, here’s Tim Reaper’s set from 2 weeks ago on Jungletrain…. absolutely wicked selection of tunes! As usual on the BTTO show, Tim dug for proper obscurities and lesser known gems rather than going for bigger tunes – lots of CD only tracks, b-sides which nearly eclipse the A-sides, and…
