This month the EP posts have been pretty sparse on this site, so I’m enforcing the long-standing “slack on posting tunes for a while => make up for it by posting some rare slammers” rule. Hence, this track: “Hunt and Seek” by by R.A.W. (the uk one not the LA jungle DJ) on the Awesome…

This Man had a vision & Even brought Ragga Jungle to Carnival in 1993 in the…
Thunderhead – Untitled (Lost In Time EP)
Serious nasty darkside here, with co-production by Skanna. This “Lost In Time” EP highlights the darker 93 sound which is all the rage these days, in addition to being one of the tougher to find plates of that era (though far from the rarest). For some reason, I think I remember hearing that Thunderhead was…
DJ Eevil – Cum On (Mix 2)
Here’s a 92 piano hardcore jam I finally picked up recently, from the great D Zone Recs camp. Although D-Zone might have been a bit better known for their earlier stuff, their slightly later tunes are hidden gems with a few being mega-rare highly sought after obscurities now. This tune is far from the rarest…
DJ Trace – Definition of Living
Big respect to DJ Trace for posting this classic… it might not be the super rare dubplate version, but the original is just as good in my opinion! Download ASAP before it dissapears….
Utomica – Rok A Bye
Here’s a definite classic which was on my wantlist for years. I finally just picked it up on vinyl as part of a big order I got in December (x-mas present to myself). I think hearing this over and over in a Doc Scott mix from 92 was what pushed me over the edge to…
Krispy Krouton – Work Your Body
Here’s a leftover I meant to post for x-mas/boxing day… from part 2 of the Krispy Krouton series of EPs on Empire. Krispy Krouton was a hardcore alias for Luke Slater, and though from I remember hearing he’s pretty dismissive of these EPs now, they’re still pretty well regarded (especially part 1, which I unfortunately…
Concrete Junglist – Indian Posie Pan De Map
Here’s what will probably be a favorite of the x-mas/boxing day posts. This tune is taken from the B side of a rare and pricey ragga jungle EP, “Lick Him Inna Him Head”, which I found in a bargain bin for a buck or two some time ago. The A side is more of a…
Metroid – Digital NRG (NRGetic Mix)
Even though X-mas is over in most places, I’ve still got a few tracks left to post…. let’s see if I can keep this going through Boxing Day 🙂 This EP is by the two gents who did “Hyper Go-Go”, an early hardcore/house/techno act (one of those ones where it’s hard to say for certain…
Total Vision EP
Apologies for the crackly rip of this one, my copy of this EP has seen better days… I’m posting it anyway though since it’s a Total TOON! Also it’s not exactly cheap / easy to find. No artist behind this EP that I know of, I think it was a favorite with Ratty, at least…
