In case hardcore hip hop isn’t your bag (per yesterday’s post), here’s a favorite hardcore tune I found thanks to an ID which Nebkins got for an Easygroove mix… Yet again, Dennis Easygroove coming through with the absolutely wicked obscure selection. Lots of DJs were digging back then but it’s especially amazing what sort of…
Johnny MC – Uno Get Ruff (early UK Hip Hop)
It’s been a while since I posted a tune, so here’s something a little special and different – a rare and in-demand UK hardcore hiphop track from around 1989. This was first brought to my attention by Luke Vibert who also featured it in his Classic Hardcore UK Hip Hop Mix posted here years ago.…
DJ Trax – Mixrace 92-96 Mix for Blog To the Oldskool
To celebrate the official release of 8205-001 today, Dave DJ Trax (aka one half of Mixrace) has put together a wicked mix of some of the classic tunes he and Dev wrote together in the 1992-1996 period, including some special re-edits and unreleased versions never before heard. This mix is definitely one to check, moving…

Blog to the Oldskool Radio – May 19th 2014
Here’s my set from Sunday… played lots of serious jungle in this show, typical obscurity/big tune, laidback/tearout mixture. Things might get a bit ropey towards the end as I was rushing around trying to grab stuff to play, hopefully still sounds OK though. Enjoy!
8205-001 Update
Good news: the records have arrived at Seventh Storey Project in the UK!! However, they still need to be checked, assembled, and shipped. It looks like there are indeed some spare copies due to overage, (20 or so?), which will go for sale on the Seventh Storey store THIS THURSDAY May 22nd. UK/World preorders will…
Intoxicate – Just Can’t Stop
Here’s a wicked 92 track, quite familiar sounding based on the samples but far from a known anthem. I first heard this EP off The DJ Yolk mix I posted some years ago, though the track played in that was a different one. It took me a while longer to notice this tune, now it’s…
Blog to the Oldskool Radio Sets for May 3rd/4th (Tim Reaper + DevNull)
Here’s the sets for this weeekend’s radio shows on Radio Frontline and Jungletrain.net. The darkside one I played Saturday night was fun – I got a lot of my favorite lesser known / obscure jams in plus some big hits too. Thanks to friends and regulars who locked in (off the top of my head…
Rainbow Country – It’s U
Here’s a classic I’ve had for ages and ages but totally forgot about. I think I may even have been looking for an ID on this track after buying it, unaware that it was sitting in my crates all along. For some reason, whenever I see it in my collection I think it’s a dodgy…
