Here’s a totally manic 92 whitelabel track by JBL and Bigga. These two are relatively unknown but JBL also did the great “Lesson in Ruffness” EP with Ruff & Ready. Sorry my copy of this is a bit worn – still a total tune! Layered breaks, airhorns, tons of vocal samples – all the makings…
Tokyo oldskool rave party
Here’s some info for any of you in Japan (Google Analytics claims there’s at least some number of you reading this site). Apparently Technorch is starting a new 90’s rave revival club night in Tokyo, and has DJ Shimamura playing the first party with him. For anyone not up on their current happy hardcore/j-core, Technorch…
After Dark – Truly One
I dug this out while looking for 94-96 atmospheric stuff to play a few weeks ago… can’t say it had stuck in my head before as that much of a tune. My ears must have not been screwed on properly when I first got this, because this is a TUNE!! No relaxed intro beats or…
Rhythm Section – “1990-1992 Remasters” CD out now
Thanks to a reader for pointing me to this, had no idea this was coming out! not sure why the player is cutting off a bit, some CSS thing I don’t have time to investigate… player still works though! Originally, there were some very aggressive vinyl reissue plans for Rhythm Section – a series of…
TMR Inc. – Sample City
TMR Inc was comprised of two producers: B.T. and Crazy D, who released a series of EPs on their own label TMR Inc No idea if they’re the same TMR who did the infamous “Pirate Tune” track which fetches disgusting amounts of cash pon di eBay: You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view…
Wriggler Bascombe – Final Battle
I sort of go through phases of liking this tune a fair bit and not as much. “Final Battle” is a nutty 1993 amen track utilizing a ’92 sampletastic method of songwriting – throw everything but the kitchen sink in there, and see what sticks. To that end, we get video game bleeps, kung fu…
Essence of Aura – Never Trust Your Fantasy
Essence of Aura are pretty well known for their “Destiny” EP as well as the Distortion Crew remixes, however their other EPs are a bit slept on in my opinion. Case in point : “Never Trust Your Fantasy”. Pitch Shifted beats, ominous synths, reversed vocals and some time stretched who-knows-what sounds make for a simple…
Connectivity Issues / DJ set this Thursday
Hey all, I was away for the past week and now having some issues w/ my network at home which is making ripping stuff a pain, trying to fix it ASAP. In the meantime, any east coast US people might want to know about this: facebook event, or just click on the flyer I’m opening…
Emanuel – Internal Mind
Way back when I started this blog, one of the first EPs I featured was by Nick Ball. While I don’t know who this EP is by (no idea who Emanuel is), Nick Ball is listed as one of the producers on it. Both sides of this EP are strong tracks, with this side being…
DJ Massive – The Shaker Song (Fat Props)
Here’s an EP that I’m a bit hesitant to post since it’s such a top personal fav, but it still manages to stay under a lot of people’s radar – I would almost rather eventually drop it in a mix or something like that. But, it’s been ages since I recorded an oldskool mix, so…
