Still in London, can’t rip or really post anything here but I’ve grabbed a crazy amount of vinyl for the blog, as in it can’t all fit in my luggage so I’m gonna have to go buy a big box tomorrow to bring it all home in. Have half a mind to just have a…
London Trip next week
I’m going to be making a last minute trip to the UK Thursday next week, for the sure-to-be-amazing sold out dreamscape party: Staying through part of the next week up until Thanksgiving. If anyone has any suggestions on lesser known record stores I can dig at for tunes to post on the blog, please drop…
L Double – Love This Style
Posting this track up since I’ve had it stuck in my head since earlier in the week and played it on the ustream session wednesday. L Double is probably better known for his later releases on Flex Recordings as well as his dnb show on BBC Radio1, but he did some pretty mean early tunes…
Reminder: Streaming tonight at 7pm EST/ Midnight GMT
http://www.ustream.com/channel/blogtotheoldskool Haven’t been spinning much but got some great records as of late, worth throwing em together live. Get a preview of some stuff I’ll post on the site eventually and plenty I might never ever post.. (rare releases on bigger labels, etc).
Alec Empire – Bass Terror 2CD reissue (AIFF downloads)
Alec Empire just posted up uncompressed AIFFs of the “Bass Terror” 2CD reissue of his early tracks, including stuff off the original “Bass Terror” EP, the Suecide EPs, etc. Absolutely essential stuff!!! Grab them before he changes his mind 🙂 Alec Empire – “Bass Terror” by Alec Empire/ ATR I still need to nab those…
Oz Beat – The Return of Oz Beat
OK back to something a bit less grimey. Aside from the tunes on its main label, Formation put out quite a few choice EPs on its offshoot label F PROJECT, run by Mark Yorath. A select few of those are quite in demand (Tango Project EP, Turbo Sound EP, Brainstorm Crew EP), but the vast…
The Rising Damp – Coughing Fit
Seeing someone complain about low fi hardcore tracks today has motivated me to post a SUPER grimey EP that’s definitely not for everyone. As with some of the earlier boogie beat stuff, the production isn’t exactly razor sharp here, and I’ve done nothing to clean up/re-eq the mp3s. However, there’s plenty of good samples and…
Pascal & Sponge – Nosebleed EP
In honor of Halloween, here’s one of the top darkside tracks of all time: Pascal and Sponge’s Nosebleed. Probably best known for its Predator 2 sample (“I know you guys are trying to scare me… well… I’m scared now”!), though there’s also other sounds from the movie used throughout the track: the predator “homing in”…
Yellow Magic Orchestra (Alern8 remix) video
Thanks to my buddy Brian for posting this on facebook, super dismal day here and this video brightened it up a bit! You like YMO? You like Altern8? If you answered “no” to either of those questions, then something must be wrong with you…check this video and see why:
Atomik – 1.0
OK, so I’m definitely still in the “posting less but higher quality” mode.. here’s a track that’s I’ve been spinning out a lot the past couple years. It’s probably one of my top go-to tracks if I want to throw a little oldschool in a non-oldschool focused set, without resorting to big anthems or a…
