Here’s a single I bought years ago and forgot about until recently. In all that time, I don’t think I’ve ever really listened to the B side. Instead I stuck to the (admittedly strong) A side tune “Back to the Grave”, which combines an MC Duke vocal line, an assortment of heavy breakbeats (including the…
Submania – Run Da Labyrinth
Another day, another wicked 92 track. I don’t know anything about the artist behind this release… it’s on Pro-One records, which did the heavily in demand / painfully rare Utomica – Rok a Bye EP. Both sides of this EP are pretty killer, and it’s well worth picking up on the cheap. Submania – Run…
Outa Intelligence – Tales from the Unexpected
Here’s one of the most twisted tunes I’ve posted up here… a dark and deep 93 amen track with tons of changes ups and samples, not to mention a time signature change partway through the song. It’s also the first release on Back 2 Basics, which ended up putting out much more friendly tunes like…
DJ Phantasy & Gemini – Ruff Beats Producing Bass
This track is more well known than what I normally post, but I’m sure there’s a number of people who check this site who don’t know it. I actually had a super obscure tune queued up to post, but was listening to it and decided I don’t even like it that much… Even though I…
N.H.B. – We Can Get Freaky
Here’s something a little different for sunday… early/mid 90’s booty hiphop, which still has enough “oldskool” elements (heavy funky drummer breakbeat, acid bassline, reasonably fast tempo) to warrant me posting here. This track is also probably more obscure than anything else I’ve posted on this blog. There’s basically no info about its vinyl release on…
The Raver’s Choice – I Want Your Body
as mentioned in the comments today, I totally forgot about this EP. The Raver’s Choice (Vibes + Wishdokta) – I want your body And, my favorite MJ sampling record which I *don’t* own (but am always looking for a cheap copy of if anyone has a spare…) D Livin’ – Why
Sorry if this is in poor taste / too soon…
But, it’s the first thing that popped in my and a few other people’s heads when hearing the news: Obscure FM – Michael Jackson is In Heaven Now!
The Skunk Club & The Herb Superb – Sandman Mix
E’dam and Skuf are best known for Sensi / The More I Get, the More I Want. I also really like their “skratch the beat” release (which is easier to find than this EP and just as good), and featured it in a mix I posted a while back. Here’s a discography page containing all…
1st Prodject – Interferance
As a record collector, I’ve occasionally run into situations where I hear a track and try to get an ID for it, only to find out it’s on a record I already own. I usually take this as a sign that I’m spending too much time searching for records to buy, and not enough time…
R.I.P. Eon
“Legendary ‘rave’ producer Eon, a.k.a. Ian Loveday, passed away Wednesday, June 17, from complications with pneumonia” Another piece with lots of background information, by someone who knew him well. Sorry for the delay in posting this, needed to make time to rip some of my favorite Eon singles… massive respect to this guy. Eon –…
