One for the deep choppy break crew…. 94 jungle track by the killer combo of A-Sides and E-Type. Released on Strictly Underground sublabel Rollin Records, “Analogue Pressure” combines heavily edited layered breaks with orchestra stabs, deep pads, and, as the title indicates, sick analog squelches. This sort of deep atmospheric 94-95 stuff doesn’t seem to…
Cyanide 45 – Notice Me
I’ve been so caught up in posting mega obscure bargain bin tracks, it’s been a while since I posted a proper rare & heavily sought after CLASSIC – no question, this track fits the bill! “Notice Me” is one of those tunes like Insomnia – Nostalgic that manages to inject a fair bit of melancholy…
Technoskins – Rumbledove
Onto something a bit slower, more stompy and ravey. This EP is from 92, but sounds like it could have been made a bit earlier (late 91?) – relatively simple breaks with massive orchestra-rave stabs. A bit straightahead for my taste, but fun to mix and a good contrast to the mega choppy manic stuff…
Redshift – Sweat & Groove II
Here’s a nice oft-overlooked b-side for the fast nutty hardcore lovers. Aside from less than amazing production, the “166 BPM Rush In The Right Direction Mix” on this EP is a super fun rushy hardcore tune. As the name indicates, it’s a Jungle speed track but clearly hardcore, with the prerequisite dodgy sample (led zepplin…
new mix for Dis Magazine (dismagazine.com)
I feel kinda bad self promo-ing not strictly oldskool related stuff on here but oh well, no one ELSE is gonna promo it for me… also I’ll be posting so much next few days, this mix will probably be buried and off the front page quickly 😉 Dev/Null – CLOB Music
Unknown Artist (Cult – MZN 3547 / MZN 3548 )
I wasn’t lying about that 1+ post a day thing… starting things off with a crazy good not-so-well-known single from Germany. This Cult EP tends towards the more hard,experimental side of things – the other side has more chunky less breaky tunes, but these two tracks do it for me – total choppy break madness,…
Post 500: 3-D – Chuck Chillout Acapella
I was really hoping to have some unreleased stuff to post for #500, or some mega pack of tracks, but it’s been too hard to sort out so instead of continuing to wait, I’m going to give up a great source hiphop acapella which is sampled all over the place in hardcore but rarely talked…
Chemical Vacation – Real Style
Looks like I’m up to post 499 on here… not sure what I can post up for that 500th one to make it special?? If any current or former hardcore/jungle/dnb producers have an unreleased tune from the 1991-95 era kicking around which they wouldn’t mind seeing made an exclusive, feel free to drop me a…
JMJ & Richie – Trouble in China
Here’s a great oft-overlooked tune from Moving Shadow. I typically don’t post their stuff for legal reasons (it’s all for sale already on beatport etc), but I’m going to start featuring youtube clips of some Shadow and Suburban Base favs occasionally, along with links to the mp3 stores that sell them… definitely worth buying these…
Medeema – Kumagen
Even though I stay away from posting big label stuff, it’s still been a while since i posted some massively obscure gem. Hopefully this track fits the bill – a total one off release, with an, erm, non-optimally produced vocal track on the B1 but otherwise two bangin hardcore/jungle jams contained within. The track posted…
