For people deep in the UK rave scene as it was going down, Nick Power was probably best known as the guy who ran Music Power record shop. Aside from that though, he did quite a few EPs under various guises, a number of which are in demand / classic tracks. Less die-hard collectors might…

Le’gato – One Nation (United Nations Mix)
Classy tune here I know next to nothing about, this EP uses the same “let’s get together” sample as one of my least favorite of the hardcore “classics”, Satin Storm “Let’s Get Together”, as well as the italian rave classic RAF “we’ve got to live together”. It’s definitely more on the housey side of things…
EFX – It’s About Time
I meant to start posting records I bought in Cali today, but this got mixed in with them somehow, even though I bought it some years ago… here it is anyway! Here we’ve got a 91 style whitelabel obscurity (discogs says 92 but the track itself sounds pretty 91). Big stabs, “it’s about time we…
Unknown Artist (Cult – MZN 3547 / MZN 3548 )
I wasn’t lying about that 1+ post a day thing… starting things off with a crazy good not-so-well-known single from Germany. This Cult EP tends towards the more hard,experimental side of things – the other side has more chunky less breaky tunes, but these two tracks do it for me – total choppy break madness,…
Intelligent Minds – Voyage
Here’s a tune which I’ve got no info on, aside from knowing it’s some nice atmospheric jungle which was likely made between 1994-96… Nice crunchy choirs and pianos, some subtle beatwork including layering of the same beat which gives a bit of a phase effect in parts, etc. The a-side of this is wicked as…
Escape – Unknown Element
Here’s an obscurity I grabbed on the cheap recently… the A side is more of a happy vocal tune which I’m not as keen on, but this b side track is up my alley- filtered dominator synth business. Pretty straightahead track structure and the beats aren’t too crazy, but enough elements to keep my interest…
Kaotic Chemistry – LSD/Spacecakes (Rampage! vol 1 DJ Edit)
I can’t help it, I’m totally hooked on these US edits of oldskool tracks. Even when they don’t add much to the originals, these edits still seem to revive tunes which I’ve listened to far too many times. They also seem to be an interesting choice for DJ’ing live, since you basically get to play…
Underground Maneuvers in the Dark – I Can’t Understand
Back to the obscurities… not much to say about this one. I think it has an Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark sample in it, but I don’t know that group well enough to say what track. Plus the classic “I can’t quite understand it” vocal which I don’t know the source for either, except that…
Aftermath – Everything Starts Now
Here’s an EP I have absolutely no recollection of purchasing… from the sticker on it, I gather that I got it from an MVE for 1 pound at some point. I can see why it’s not an in-demand single: despite being obscure, it’s got that 1994-95 proto-intelligent soundto it. While I like that style a…
Do Want: Disciples Of The Watch EP
Just heard about this on B2VOS, checked the track snippets and really like it, but it seems MEGA obscure… if anyone can help point me to a copy (sale/trade), please email me at the address listed on the right. http://www.discogs.com/Unknown-Artist-Disciples-Of-The-Watch/release/411016 A1 A2 B1 B2
