If you don’t know who Unique 3 is, go open up a new browser window or go into itunes and buy their “the theme” EP RIGHT NOW… massively influential early bleeps-n-bass tune (maybe the first?). This EP is from a few years later (92), and features a few housier mixes as well as this classy…

Macka Brown – Princess of the Posse EP
Someone requested a Macka Brown track for the blog recently. Since I don’t have the one they asked for, here’s a great white label by him instead. For those who don’t know, Macka Brown is AKA Bug Kahn, of Bug Kahn and the Plastic Jam “Made in 2 Minutes” fame. Most of his EPs around…
M.A.N.I.C. – Feel It (Jungle Mix)
Looong time favorite track here, by the producers of I’m Coming Hardcore… be sure to check that link for a chill-inducing video of Spanish ravers going CRAZY to that tune. This track is from a bit later, using some oh-so-familiar but totally amazing samples: The Beatboxing Break from James Brown “Godfather Running the Joint” as…
Kingsound – PPI and PPII
Obscurity hounds, this one’s for you… two of the more unknown tunes I’ve posted in a while. One of these two records I found while scrounging in a bargain bin on my last UK trip some months ago… waited till now to post so I could try to find more info on it. However, while…
Muskogee – Drum & Bass Psykho
Sorry for the grimey rip here, my copy of this is pretty beat up… the two A-side tracks on this EP are basically sped up versions of Erik B + Rakim “Let the Rhythm Hit em” instrumental. True, other hardcore tracks use the same break as sampled in that tune (Assembly Line), or the specific…
QBass – Deepa (Digital Remix by Chris Cox & Michael Eng)
It’s been quite a while since I posted a us digital remix of a known oldskool track from one of those early 90’s compilations.. in the past, I’ve posted some of these promo-only remixes for tracks like Sonz of a Loop Da Loop – Far Out, Acen – Close Your Eyes, X-Static – Ready 2…
3 Way Split with Easygroove – Wicked Ones
Here’s a nice 92track by Easygroove and (according to Discogs, confirmation please???) Roni Size. It’s not nearly as crazy as you’d expect a track from THE TECHNO DREAD to be, but it would make sense for an early Roni Size tune… kind of slowjammy 94 melody sample with streamlined breaks, plus some more 92-ish synth…
Rise Productions – Hardcore Frontier
So I’ve had this song stuck in my head for a while (mainly due to that great Yolk Mix and a 92 Fabio studio mix, though I know Easygroove played it as well), and don’t think it’ll leave until I post it. A great early single by the guys behind Juice Records, as well as…
DJ Fly – High On Life EP
OK, and now for something a bit less “classic”. Here’s one of the best scores from my Cali trip a few weeks ago. And by best, I mean most hilarious/fun/awful/cool/wtf. In theory, this is a mega rare hardcore record on Mendoza, a label that put out some really cool early rave bits as well as…
LSDJ-E – Let The Rhythm Take You
Sorry for lack of posts, away in LA + SF this past week… getting back in a few days and will have some tasty treats to post then!! (some decent scores on this trip) In the meantime, here’s a mini post… a track I ripped which meant to play in SF if I got booked…
