I’ve been slack on the individual track posts lately, definitely in a quality-not-quantity mode. So here’s another serious quality one… not a UK tune but a relatively unknown track that qualifies (at least in my mind) as a hidden gem. Out to DJ Junk on this one, as I heard it in an old mix…

Da Bass Invaderz – Time To Kik
Here’s one of my personal favs from the last Blog to the Oldskool radio show…. really nice overlooked 92 tune with 93 leanings (wouldn’t be surprised if the date on discogs is wrong and it’s actually from 93… but I didn’t buy it then so I can’t say for sure!) Pitched up hip hop vocals,…
Aphrodite – Put the Fucking Record On
Back to some 92 grimyness….. Here’s a really early tune by Aphrodite, from a compilation EP containing several other artists plus one (maybe two) additional Aphrodite track(s). The other tracks are so-so but it’s all about the Aphrodite tunes on this EP, this one in particular. It might well be one of his earliest tracks,…
Nick Power and DJ Ku – Mus Get Dark
Here’s a less obscure tune which should be familiar to almost anyone who’s listened to their share of 1992 mixes. The absolutely massive “mus get dark” track by Nick Power and DJ Ku. I have to admit, I wasn’t totaly sold on this one the first n years I heard it in mixes… as solid…
Tango Interview
(Droid sez): Despite my outrageous truancy, Pete has given me another chance and generously allowed me back in to post this interview I did with Tango when he was in Dublin a couple of years ago. Big ups to the indomitable Ricky Force who allowed me to crash a production session in his mountaintop mansion for a couple of…
ECT – Make It Right
Here’s a serious 92 whitelabel jam… pretty pricey and in-demand, though I’m not quite sure what mixes it’s featured in. Either way it’s definitely a strong record, with this side being a bit faster/crazier (though the other side is good as well). Unfortunately the artist/label doesn’t provide any info, about the only thing identifiable about…
Impact Crew – Feels Good
Another serious Flex / De Underground related jam…. the melodies in here really couldn’t be anyone else! Aside from that we get nice breakbeats and a “Groove is in the Heart” sample. Impact Crew – Feels Good.mp3link removed pending posting on hardcore junglism
Killersound – What Is A Ragga Twin
First tune back, this EP is a definite longtime obscurity / second-hand bargain. According to a friend, “Ravin 2 Heaven” used to get played a lot, but my favorite here is the first track “What is a Ragga Twin”. Featuring a few super catchy ragga vocal bits (I assume at least one of which is…
DJ B + EZM – Shocking to the Break of Dawn
Here’s another track I played on the 92 show but never posted the set from, so here it is in ripped form… it’s a really cool whitelabel release of solid hardcore from back in the day, which Vinyl Connection reissued about 10 years ago. Back before Discogs became such a force in second-hand online record…
Sound Corp – Regen-Time (Mix 2)
Here’s a gem I found in my collection while pulling tracks for yesterday’s radio show… Most people probably know Sound Corp for their dark anthem “Dream Finder”, probably not as much for this tune (or if so, possibly for a different mix of it – there’s at least 2 others). This mix of Regen-Time is…
