Here’s a slept-on track that’s easy to find. It isn’t a massive rager, and it took me a while to get into it, but after hearing it a few times over the years it’s definitely sunk in for me. Main things of note: The Michael Jackson vocal bits, which actually work with the tune and…

Obama ‘Ardcore
Here’s a few early (1989 + 1992) hardcore tracks that were produced in the United States. Dennis Pino did several good EPs 91-92 as Breakout’s and World Dominance. There’s definitely more of a techno influence to these. “Compression” seems to be the biggest track on Breakout’s II, but my personal favorite is “Don’t Hold Back”,…
Dave Charlesworth Obscurity + Nookie jam
Bit of a mixed bag again today, starting tommorow I’ll go back to more concept-based posts… with this giant pile of random new records at my feet, it’s tempting to keep throwing random quality tracks up. This first tune is on the After Dark sublabel Time Travel Records. Based on that fact, plus the heavy…
Europe Trip Finds, vol 3 – more bargain bins
Continuing with stuff I grabbed in europe, here’s a nice jungle obscurity that only goes for a couple euros… no date for it on discogs, but based on the sound it’s almost definitely from 94. Siege – Deep (Part I) The next is something I grabbed in Madrid, Spain… Overdrive isn’t exactly my favorite label,…
Europe trip finds, vol 2 – Scotland
For the last part of my trip in Europe, I stopped off to play a show in Edinburgh, Scotland. Great city, but unfortunately there weren’t many stores there with good oldschool stuff. The two stores I found which did have a decent selection of old stuff were clearly pricing direct off discogs (one store didn’t…
Europe Trip finds, vol 1 – London Bargain bins
Since I just got back from a 3 week vacation across Europe, I’ll probably be posting a lot about my various record finds from there over the next few weeks. First up is the UK.. Anybody into jungle who has been to UK record shops over the past few years knows that hardcore has gotten…
DJ Fokus
DJ Fokus is without a doubt one of my favorite of the lesser known 93-95 artists. Originally releasing on the label Blueprint Records, his first release “The Theme” bw “Disengaged” is an in-demand amen smasher, fetching high prices these days. He followed this EP up with a solo outing on the same label, before releasing…
Mind Therapy, Part 2
I already did an entry on Mind Therapy, but only scratched the surface w/ the one EP mentioned there (admittedly a great record). Here’s several more bits of their stuff. Their first EP was on the Jack In The Box label. This label was more of a distributor (I’ve definitely seen a sticker from them…
Bay B Kane Interview , pt 3 (final part)
Apologies for the delay in this part, I’ve been on tour / vacation in Europe with spotty internet access.. I’m posting this final portion of the interview comes from Madrid, Spain. Thanks a ton to Mel for doing this interview, anyone interested can reach him at . Enjoy – Pete Track You’re Most Proud Of…
Got Enya Hardcore?
I don’t have time to write up a comprehensive post on a single artist today… instead, here’s a collection of tunes that all share the same (in this case seriously cheesy) sample source: “Orinoco Flow” by Enya. The first track is from a good 92 whitelabel by DJ Trace – Supposedly titled “Rudeboy Hardcore” according…
