Here’s a wicked release by Mad Dog, known best for their tune “My God”. Both producers behind “Mad Dog” have quite a few good releases to their names – Dave Wallace did tunes as The Rave Doctor, Fugitive (“Mind Games”), Regel Alliance (“Sometimes”), under his own name on Moving Shadow, plus continues to do releases…
Jesus On E (Amiga Scene Demo)
Edit: I just checked and it looks like Mulder beat me to the punch, mentioning this demo in a comment re: the Urban Shakedown MOD I posted a while back… still deserves its own post though! – Pete I can’t believe I’ve never posted this… maybe I have and just forgot?? Either way it deserves…
Matrix Rise – D.O.Y.L.E. Factor
Here’s a wicked track I forgot I had on vinyl, thanks to the oldskool hardcore facebook group for posting it today! Matrix Rise – D.O.Y.L.E. Factor
FZ – Forbidden Zone
Here’s a cool EP I scored on a trip recently… I’ve been after this for a while, and one of the few advantages of being a total record nerd is that I can easily identify records like this simply by the label even when there’s no info on the record (why it probably managed to…
Ecology – In The House
Here’s a wicked track on Vicious Pumpin’ Plastic which I remember putting in my first ever recorded mix… not sure how to describe this tune really. It’s not particularly anthem-y, happy or dark, sample filled or stripped down… in most descriptive axes I can think of, this track sort of falls right in the middle.…
Ellis Dee, DJ Krome + Mr Time – Drum Thunder
Krome + Time are definitely one of my favorite acts from 92-95, but I haven’t posted tracks by them since their early stuff is mostly on Suburban Base (which you should go buy immediately as mp3 on Jungle.co.uk or as used vinyl Discogs/Ebay. Not many artists managed to continue to churn out anthems as this…
3 Sample – Streets of Rage
Someone asked me to post this recently when I posted another 3 sample track. I think I actually prefer “High On Life” to “Streets of Rage”, despite “Streets” being the better known and more in-demand track. Still, it’s a good tune which warrants posting. The other thing which made me want to post this was…
Rhythm Section – The Chainsaw
Anyone well into their oldskool should know about Rhythm Section – they were a rave group featured Rennie Pilgrim (now better known for his breaks work and Thursday Club label), Ellis Dee, Nicholas Scott (aka Newton), and Richie T (aka MK13, who I posted a great track by a while ago). Between them, they did…
International Rude Boyz – Paragone Remix
Formation Records churned out a fair number of darker tunes between 92 and 94, but this is one of the best – the sinister pitch shifted beats layered with the Blowfly – Sesame Street break (as used in “Helicopter Tune”) and a 4/4 kick make this track choppy but solid, great for mixing or home…
Hope & Dave – Rushing (aka Masquerade “Rushin”)
Here’s a tune that’s pretty much the opposite of what I posted on Wednesday, and not my typical favorite type of tune. However, this track has wormed itself into my head and just won’t leave! It’s a straightforward housey hardcore track from late 91/early 92, male vocals and all.. nothing crazy going on but solid…
