I’m not sure whether this track counts as outright hardcore or hardcore hiphop / britcore… either way, it’s a keeper! You might recognize the intro from MC Lethal’s “Rave Digger”, which makes me wonder whether this EP is by the same MC Lethal or whether it was just sampled on that EP. Overall, “Execute” was…

Spacework tunes on Soundcloud (free WAV downloads)
Just read about this on B2VOS… Spacework did some great tunes, I especially like the “aqua rhyme/cocaine problem smartass!” EP. Big respect to him for sharing them all on soundcloud! I’m not sure how long these will stay downloadable so grab them while you can. Latest tracks by Spacework
Nasty Habits – Street Knowledge
I just posted my rip of this up for someone, and was reminded how much I like this tune… a 91 track that actually sounds the part. Slow-and-steady beats without tons of edits, 4/4 hardcore backing kicks, mainly just a nice pad and apocalyptic buzzy rave synth dominating the track… oh yeah, and that NWA…
M.A.N.I.C. – I’m Coming Hardcore
Diverging from the obscurities for a bit of a classic here, though one a bit less known by name than your average Sub Base / Shadow hits M.A.N.I.C. did some great 91-93 singles, including earlier slower material like the “concept ep”, through the great “feel it / dreamer” EP which has got to be one…
Kinetic – Dancefloor Justice
Trying to make up for the weeks of lazy posting, here’s another nice tune – this time some stripped down 91 hardcore. This track is way more basic than what I usually like, but it more than does the trick – a simple breakbeat, a catchy vocal sample (“get up, feel the dancefloor justice!”) and…
OUTRAGE – Inside My Head (From My Hands)
Note: todays entry comes from the jungle producer 0=0. A month back, I received the following email: Subject: hey guy… i wanna contribute to the blog.. j 0=0 Nice and to the point, huh? No “hey how’s it going / digging your blog” formalities for this guy!! Anyway, knowing J’s tendency to not follow through…
Leo Anibaldi – Bassbar
Here’s an absolute classic that was on my want list for 13 years or so before I actually scored a copy on vinyl. Leo Anibaldi was more known for his awesome “sound of rome” style dark italian techno stuff, from the same scene that brought us Lory D, Andrea Benedetti, Gabriele Rizzo, etc. However, his…
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…
Formicula 4 – Formic Acid
Here’s something a little different… a 91 techno track by several German producers including Mike Ink. Maybe not congruent with what I normally post but who cares… “this is acid… I’m gonna give you acid!!” Formicula 4 – Formic Acid
