Here’s a nice EP that I finally got recently, even though it had been on my want list for years and years. Aurora did several great singles – the track they’re probably known best for is “Voice of Buddha”, a classic featured on the “Hit The Decks” megamix. Their single on Homegrown is also excellent…

Crossfade – Here We Go Again
Here’s an overlooked cut on FX records by Crossfade aka Killerhertz, whose two other 92 EPs I’ve been trying to score for quite a while now. This track samples the synth from Set Up System – “Fairy Dust” to good effect alongside solid 4/4 kick backed beats. FX put out several other nice releases, including…
Investigator Base – Too Much
Here’s a recent nab, no idea about the artist other than he has an earlier 2 track EP out alongside this EP. Pretty good stuff, this track (B1) is my favorite of the 4 tracks and was the most fun to mix. B2 is pretty hectic, A2 features some reasonably well done live vocals, A1…
Ozone – Eternal 5
Another cheap and obscure discogs grab, this is a kind of similar slower clunky track to the last track I posted (The Mush EP), so people only into faster later tunes might be dissappointed with this as well. I think it’s a pretty wicked track though,… choice samples and synth. Ozone – Eternal 5
The Minister So Sinister – Battlestar Hardcore EP
Here’s a wicked single by Julian Cobb (aka Hellfish, Minister So Sinister, Undercover Elephant, Zookeeper’s Revenge and a bunch of other aliases), released on the Bogwoppa label in 92. The title track samples the “Battlestar Galactica” theme, coupling it with a nasty amen which might be the The Chuck’s Beats / Slowjam amen… it’s hard…
Intellect – Stimulation
Today’s track is on the often overlooked Boogie Beat label, which put out a slew of releases including a couple of gems. Aside from producing a few nice EPs on the label, Ben Intellect (aka Intellect) also engineered a huge amount of Boogie Beat’s other releases. Intellect – Stimulation
Digital Pressure – Watch Dis Space
I’m back! still getting stuff sorted in my new place, but intronets is on and I have a stack of records staring at me dying to be listened to / ripped. Speaking of which… If anyone has any suggestions how to best dampen vibrations under a crappy belt drive turntable, I now have a separate…
XTRO – Toys
As mentioned in a previous comment, here’s an obscure Juice Box Records EP that I love, but which not many people have heard. This release was by David Campbell, who did tracks under countless aliases as well as engineering several Klute albums . “Toys” features a breakbeat track on side A (though it’s programmed in…
Twinhead – Twinhead EP
Here’s a wicked EP I scored for 10p after digging an entire cutout bin basement… great record, too bad it took half a day to find along w/ 1-2 other nice bits in thousands and thousands and thousands of less exciting records. Most people prefer the “U Said U” track, which I already had on…
Josh Kay (Global, Phoenicia) Interview
The main purpose of this site isn’t to rehash info about all the well known oldschool artists out there, but to shine some light on quality lesser known artists / scenes. It’s with that in mind that I hit up Josh Kay of the Texas breakbeat hardcore act Global with some interview questions. Yes, I…
