Here’s an all-time classic that may be “played out” for some more clued in collectors (as it’s an absolute must-have) but it is definitely overlooked by more casual fans. “Alphawave” (actually an untitled A1 track on the EP, but referred to as by that name due to the vocal sample in it) is simplicity itself…

Desired State – Dance The Dream
Here’s an all-time classic, one of Andy C’s first tunes from 1991. I found this for 50 cents at Amoeba Records in Berkley a few years ago… score! Desired State – Dance The Dream
Capone – Massive
Here’s an alltime jungle anthem by some dude named DILLINJA… maybe you’ve heard of him??? I lost this record sometime while I was in college but managed to rebuy it a few years later. It’s the first release for Hardleaders and I can’t imagine a stronger start for a label. All the sample elements are…
Global – Rock Steady
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…
Menace Makes 3 – Do You Feel What I’m Feelin
Massive piano anthem here. There’s a great remix on this EP by Matrix Rise (heavily underrated act on Mutant Records), but the original wins out. Menace Makes 3 – Do You Feel What I’m Feeling
Tango – Can’t Stop The Rush (93 Remix)
I’m posting this once since Odi dropped it in Boston on Friday, and it still kills. Tango and Ratty are about as good as 92-94 stuff gets, either each on their own, collaborating together or with others, writing tracks or DJ’ing. This tune stays true to that. Rather than being a radically different remake of…
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…
Citizen Kaned – Set Me Free
I’m pretty sure I originally bought this EP based on the strength of the artist name… really, how can you go wrong with CITIZEN KANED? In this case you can’t (and don’t), as long as you’re a fan of lovingly assembled 91/92 style euphoric hands-in-the-air tracks. The production and track structure are rock solid on…
RIP Oliver Postgate
just read about this on BlissBlog yesterday. Bagpuss Creator Dies Relevant 92 tune, cashing in on the “Charlie” / “Sesame’s Treet” thing & nicking the piano from “Far Out” along the way. DJ Burnz – Bagpuss (Bagpuss on 8 Mix) Another track for today, not connected but one of my absolute favorites and one which…
