Well, that was a nice vacation from posting… time to start chucking tunes up again though! Be sure to check the site next few days, I’m going to try to post a fair bit of stuff. First up, a nice 93 track all about the drum programming/processing. Amens get pitched up and down, doubled up,…

Trix – The Way Back
Here’s a tune I’ve been playing on my net radio streams since I started a couple years ago, not sure if I’ve ever ID’d it though. At 7 minutes it might be more of a mixing track than something you want to listen to start-to-finish… however, I think it’s pretty fun and don’t think I’ve…
Kingsize – Come Now People EP
I’ve been meaning to save this EP for an article on early US breakbeat hardcore/rave, but it’s been a while since I posted any domestic obscurities. Despite a number of DJs playing oldskool here, very little bonafide 92/93 style tunes got released in the US, with most of the hardcore being more of the rave/techno…
Goldseal Tribe – You Will Die
It’s tough to pick a favorite track on the Goldseal Tribe “Michelob” EP, but this is the one for me… at least for this week! Tracks on this EP run the gamut from super catchy slowjam ravey stuff, to this dark hardcore/jungle jam “You Will Die”, which is not too far off from the tunes…
Swift & Zinc – A Musical Box
Here’s some serious 93 grimey hardcore/jungle, which also happens to be the first release by the mighty DJ Zinc (of “Fugees or not”, “Reach Out”, “138 trek”, countless other tunes plus Rinse FM head honcho). This record, as well as the other SAZ bits, were done by Zinc alongside Swift, who did some great early…
Dillinja – Untitled EP (Tough Toonz TT002)
I’m sure you all know about Dillinja, so no explanation needed this time. His early 93 singles on this label and Cybotron are some of his best stuff in my opinion, mostly narsty amen tracks. This one is no exception, combining the aforementined beats with classic moody pads ala 93/94 plus some diabolical hoover business…
Trans Vexed – Rambo
Another unknown gem / personal fav I feel a bit reluctant to publicly share.. gotta put this one up though since I think it’ll appeal in particular to some friends and regular supporters of this blog. I’m always on the lookout for the fastest, craziest, most mashed up early hardcore/jungle tracks I can find. While…
EOAD – Pleasure
Damn, looks like I’ve got some catching up to do on the posts! As always when I slack on posts for a while, here’s a special track I might not normally want to just post up and name – a total personal favorite which I don’t think was in many mixes and hence isn’t too…
Code 6 – Third Aura
This is seriously one of the biggest tunes I’ve posted in recent time… lush breakbeat techno jam by Joey Beltram under his Code 6 alias. According to a comment I read on discogs, this alias was for his more experimental idm / early warp sounding stuff. I’m not sure how true that is, but it’s…
Prong – Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck (Atom Heart remix)
Here’s an neat track I just found on vinyl recently… definitely not up everyone’s alley (not even sure if I’d play it), but may be of serious interest if, like me, you’re into “before their time” tracks which hint at future styles to come. In this case, we’ve got a 1993 remix of the New…
