Here’s possibly the best 92 oldschool track made in the US… one of those super simple and straight-ahead tunes that gets stuck in your head the first time you listen to it. It comes from one of the Metropolis Remix service records, a series of promo-only releases that mainly contain domestic edits and remixes of…

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…
Ajax Project – Mach III EP
Getting back to what I said about posting more non-UK tracks on here since a lot of them may have been overlooked, here’s the first Icelandic Hardcore record ever. The first track (“Rufige”) is the most well known. it was made in collaboration w/ Goldie when he visited Iceland. Good variety and tons of samples,…
THC EP
This next track is mainly of interest to me since it sounds like it might be the original source of the main sample from Ellis Dee Project 2. THC – Feel So Good Ellis Dee Project part 2 (youtube clip for now, will probably rip the record sometime soon):
Suburban Base: Sound of the Phuture MegaMix
Suburban Base is one of my favorite labels ever, but you’ll rarely see stuff on this site from that label. This is for two reasons : Anybody who knows anything about oldskool knows this label and their releases, thus there’s no reason for me to spend time trying to talk about them All their releases…
Tranquil – You Got It
HOW GOOD is 786 / DEJA VU RECORDS?!!!! You can keep your “Sweet Harmony” and “Don’t Go”. That stuff is OK, but when push comes to shove I’ll always choose crazy distorted rage music requiring 2 showers after each listen, like this tune and the others on 786/Deja Vu. Speaking of which… If anyone can…
2 Da Core – Super-Ragga Sunday
Here’s 2 great tracks by 2 Da Core, best known for their “Rub a Dub” single. That main tune (which you might recognize from mix tapes, it’s that tune with the “I’m… just a rub-a-dub soldier…” sample) is great, but I prefer the B side which has some nasty squelchy synths. 2 Da Core’s other…
The Rave Doctor – Lost In Bass EP
Here’s one of the first EPs by Dave Wallace, the man responsible for great tracks like My God and Mind Games, not to mention some of the more underrated and overlooked 94-95 Moving Shadow releases. He’s also a current member of Aquasky. This single is a pretty varied 4 tracker, and this first a-side tune…
1st Prodject – Right Before (rmx)
I just noticed a post on B2VOS that 92 Retro might be doing a pressing of unreleased Fokus tunes, including an unreleased remix of the the following track. It’s by Tim Taylor, best known for Egyptian Empire – Horn Track and Istanbul. The original of this tune was on Fokus 001, and the remix is…
Radagain – Johnny On Ragg
Since the purpose of this site is to post lots of lesser known gems, I try to put a fair amount of focus on non-UK tracks. Even though plenty of international hardcore singles got played by UK DJs, there were also plenty which seem to have slipped through the cracks. “Jonny On Ragg” falls in…
