Here’s a wicked 92 track, quite familiar sounding based on the samples but far from a known anthem. I first heard this EP off The DJ Yolk mix I posted some years ago, though the track played in that was a different one. It took me a while longer to notice this tune, now it’s…

Rainbow Country – It’s U
Here’s a classic I’ve had for ages and ages but totally forgot about. I think I may even have been looking for an ID on this track after buying it, unaware that it was sitting in my crates all along. For some reason, whenever I see it in my collection I think it’s a dodgy…
Overdog – Fuck You Up
I’ve played this track a few times on the radio show, but here it is in full form: a classic German hardcore tune showing the nice intersection of techno, acid and stompy hardcore with a slight breakbeat / uk nod. Not too removed from what Space Cube was doing at the time, stuff on Labworks,…
The Feedback Principle – Tear Down The Place
Here’s a nice unknown-but-not-hard-to-find 92 tune I can’t recall seeing in many/any large mixes… mixmeisters, feel free to correct me on that. I discovered it recently while rooting around in my collection for overlooked 92-93 tracks to play on last Sunday’s show. The label it was released on, Rumour Records, is better known for compilations…
Templa – In N Out Your Mind
Here’s a nice white label obscurity. Though supposedly from 1992, this track didn’t come out until the mid-noughts on the flip of a reissue of D’Livin “Why”. It’s actually worth tracking both the original of that EP down and the reissue, as the other tracks on the original are nice (not featured on the reissue),…
Space Cube – Mental Terror
Here’s a personal favorite I meant to play in my set last Friday on Radio Frontline, but I didn’t quite get to it. It’s arguably a well known track (certainly not an obscure white label), getting play at the time in the hardcore scene from people like DR S Gachet, Kenny Ken and Druid amongst…
Wiz – Freak Sexy Style
Here’s a personal favorite of mine from the Absolute 2 label… only for fans of weird, dark, strange oldskool. No catchy anthem business here! This EP is far removed from the other Wiz EP on Detroit House, so much so it almost makes me wonder whether it’s by the same artist (Mike James). But James…
Omer & Crooks – Let There Be Love
If you like your pianos, this is the EP for you… it doesn’t get much more piano hardcore than, erm, “the Grand Piano” EP. Released on Strategy by Omer and Crooks (who I believe were two of the people running the label), this entire EP has the classic piano hardcore sound down to a T.…
27th Parallel – Listen to Mommy and Daddy
One of these days I’ll follow through with my threat to do an entirely non-UK 91-95 oldskool mix. Until then, here’s another nifty not-made-in-England hardcore tune I’ve dug up over the years. Unfortunately I don’t have any info about the artist, but the label address says Miami,a nd “27th Parallel” is a latitude line intersecting…
Unknown Artist – Jah’s Calling
Been a while since I’ve posted a mega grimey obscure 92 white label, hopefully this one fits the bill. One for the anoraks and not-on-label crew, this EP is by god-only-knows-who (anyone want to fess up?) and ranges in tempo from almost housier speed on one track to full 92 hardcore. There’s a fair bit…
