This track is pretty atypical for Luna C (of Smart ees/Kniteforce Recs fame), but not entirely without precedent since he also did the “Snowball” EP which was a pretty damn dark record. This EP is three tracks of really solid 93 darkcore type stuff – one tune samples Meng Syndicate “Carpe Diem”, one Predator 2,…
Skanna – Ceasefire
Away on vacation at the moment with no access to turntables, so here’s a youtube clip of a tune I’ve got on wax/will post when I get back. Skanna needs no introduction, one of the best oldskool artists 93-95, most well known for his heavily in demand EPs like “nightstalker”. This EP is a bit…
DJ EZ & DJ Action G – Hit the Roof EP
Here’s a nice early EP by DJ Ez and Action G… this EP is melodic 92 hardcore style stuff, featuring 2 mixes of the main track. This mix featured on the B side drops the “I know I’m rushing” sample from Sir James “special”, instead using the female vocal from The Step “Yeah You”, most…
Diplomat – Generate (Unreleased 1993 tune)
Here’s an unreleased Diplomat tune from 1993 that’s been stuck in my head lately…. total amiga madness!! In spite of the low-fi nature of the video stream/rip (and probably the track itself) , it’s a REALLY well sequenced tune, and sounds like a lot of care went into writing it… probably more so than in…
Bass Overdose Tunes for sale digitally
I just found these tracks randomly, looks like they’re mostly newer bits but they’re actually good! Bass Overdose was a classic label which put out some great releases by The Charm. If I haven’t posted anything by them yet, I probably will sometime soon (but none of these tracks which are for sale). In the…
Criminal Minds – Ghetto Theme (Drive By Mix)
Here’s a later tune by Criminal Minds which is still one of my favorites by them, every bit as good as and similar in structure to the tracks on The Mindbombing LP. It’s been pretty hard to find but some copies have popped up recently in tip-top shape, so here’s one I nabbed that’s pretty…
Splice – Break it Down
Here’s some gloriously grimey 92 stuff… Parliament Records at it’s best. Wave after wave of samples layered up and chopped to hell and back. No big catchy hook melodies, just absolute sample madness!! Splice – Break it Down
Mesonic – Right On Time
Here’s an obscurity which has picked up value in the past year or two… it’s no wonder, since both sides are really solid late 91 / early 92 sounding hardcore tracks. I picked the A side to post since it’s a bit weirder, the B side is great too… much more of a feel-good piano…
Escape – Unknown Element
Here’s an obscurity I grabbed on the cheap recently… the A side is more of a happy vocal tune which I’m not as keen on, but this b side track is up my alley- filtered dominator synth business. Pretty straightahead track structure and the beats aren’t too crazy, but enough elements to keep my interest…
Skool of Hard Knocks – Kan u Feel It (94 mix)
This tune will probably ring a few bells. Even if the name doesn’t look familiar, it’s been on a couple of big jungle comps over the years, including several on major labels . “Kan U Feel It” actually started out on a release by Dancemaster, one member of Skool of Hard Knocks (though it had…
