Here’s another nice choppy amen tune by W. Wilson AKA Subnation (“Scottie”) and Warrior Bass. Nothing too out of the ordinary here, nice melodies and well chopped beats. This tune reminds me a bit of Studio Pressure stuff. Natural Forces – The Solid Rock Tune

TDK – Hype Time
Here’s two nice tunes for friday by TDK, someone who was strongly affiliated with Bizzy B / the Brain Records crew. The first track is from 93 but actually sounds much more like a 94 tune… decent atmospherics, choppy breaks, smooth without being corny, tasty and tasteful stuff. The second track (“Hype Time”), I finally…
Sayoko – Sukiyaki
Here’s an interesting 95 jungle EP I found which isn’t listed discogs or rolldabeats. It’s on the US label Radikal Records, which put out some US pressings of a number of great rave records (as well as some no-so-great ones). The main track on this EP is a reggae tune featuring a Japanese singer named…
Capone – Massive
Here’s an alltime jungle anthem by some dude named DILLINJA… maybe you’ve heard of him??? I lost this record sometime while I was in college but managed to rebuy it a few years later. It’s the first release for Hardleaders and I can’t imagine a stronger start for a label. All the sample elements are…
Law & Auder – It’s Alright
Another record unearthed in a giant pile of bargain bin stuff at some UK shop a few years back, I was expecting this to be more 93 style. Instead, it’s a nice 95 amen smasher with both terrorist and dred bass, frequently changing beats, and some choice vocal bits. Law & Auder – It’s Alright
Search And Destroy – Iron Man
Another favorite track of mine by Biochip C, this is on the classic Gabber label Mokum, aside from some 4/4 in the background though this is heavily breakbeat driven, with some nice choppy breaks in the beginning. Check the genius wtf-worthy chorus part that makes the song! The original is actually on this release as…
X-Mas Grab Bag
Merry Christmas, here’s a few quality tracks for your ear stockings…. First two tracks are by Jon Doe, aka CLSM. This first track is from 1995… Discogs says 1993, but I don’t believe that date since there’s none on the record and the other track has some retriggery/choppy stuff that didn’t really feature in happy…
Drunken Masters
The Drunken Masters are much more known for their releases on Dope Ammo… but here’s a 1995 EP they did which is mega choppy, with lots of kung fu samples ala Source Direct.[DISCOGS INFO] Drunken Masters – Dragon Dance (Kung Fu Mix) Drunken Masters – Laughing Hyena (Original Mix)
Europe trip finds, vol 2 – Scotland
For the last part of my trip in Europe, I stopped off to play a show in Edinburgh, Scotland. Great city, but unfortunately there weren’t many stores there with good oldschool stuff. The two stores I found which did have a decent selection of old stuff were clearly pricing direct off discogs (one store didn’t…
DJ Fokus
DJ Fokus is without a doubt one of my favorite of the lesser known 93-95 artists. Originally releasing on the label Blueprint Records, his first release “The Theme” bw “Disengaged” is an in-demand amen smasher, fetching high prices these days. He followed this EP up with a solo outing on the same label, before releasing…
