Not sure what to say about this one… Nice combination of pianos and big synths. Can’t remember hearing it on any tapes. I’m not sure who Raw From China is, suppose it could be an A-Sides alias? If anyone knows, feel free to drop a comment below. Raw From China – b1 (Share004 b1)

Audio Illusion – The Energy EP
Another track from that Easygroove mix, this is an EP I totally forgot was in that mix and picked up purely on the merits of another track called “Scrambled”. Here’s a writeup I did on discogs for this record: An excellent, obscure but cheap & easy to find 4 tracker. “Scrambled” is one of the…
Vice Squad – On the Edge
Here’s another “wicked but inexplicably goes for next to nothing” record. It’s by Darren J & Micky Finn, with production by Bay B Kane. Absolutely nasty Bay B Kane style bass and breaks in this. If you like it, head over to discogs where apparently someone is selling a copy for 1 pound (!) Vice…
Freestyle & DJR – Madness
Another essential track from the 92-93 NYE Easygroove mix, this time the first track in the mix. This record, along with Ten44/Raw, is one of the most in-demand and pricey records on the Awesome Records label (which I believe was run by Slipmatt + Lime), and when I finally scored this for a reasonable price,…
Subject 13 – Mash It Up DJ
Although he started releasing records back in 1990, this is from Subject 13’s first record which I would class as full-on hardcore jungle. It’s a quality straightforward ragga hardcore number: no crazy edits, ridiculous synth parts or any such surprises… just solid chunky beats, pianos, well sequenced vocals, and plenty of BASS. Subject 13 –…
Dave Charlesworth – Energizer 4
Sampling more tracks than you could shake an anthem covered stick with, this high energy bootleg from Dave Charlesworth from After Dark Records, Orbital, and producer of many classics such as “Edge Of Darkness – Come Together” one of my favorite 1992 records that i own. here is a small list of tracks sampled on…
Demo & Poet – PCP EP
I mentioned in the comments section that I’d start posting some of my favorite tracks from that Easygroove mix… here’s one of my favorites, and one of the more pricey records I’ve ever bought. Demo + Poet’s PCP EP even gives Parliament Records releases a run for their money in terms of glorious rawness. The…
Low Noise Block – Rave In The Bedroom
Taking me straight back to being 12 years old, This comedy side of a great white from 1992. Featuring a sample from “The Young Ones” on the bbc from 1982, the main track is exactly the same but without the sample is a dark techno influenced banger on limited E a sub label of ibiza…
DD Hass & Extensive – Out of Africa
Some more “lesser known tracks by an artist known for one big tune”. In this case it’s DD Hass & Extensive, known best for Hi Tech Muuusic. This single came out a year later and has some great tracks on it. Pretty similar musical elemnts to “hi tech muuusic”, same bass sound etc, but the…
MK 13 Feeling Magic
Here’s another early proto-intelligent track. I like a lot of these Rhythm Section related singles, but there’s so many of them (including some mediocre ones) that they bleed together a bit for me now. So I was pleasantly surprised when I accidentally pulled this record from my wall yesterday, intending to grab Drumatix – Crank…
