Here’s a nice track I nabbed recently by Persian Prince, which I actually bought from Persian Prince (he has a number of his old releases for sale on discogs in unplayed condition no less). It’s always great to be able to buy copies of a record from the original artist, knowing the cash is going…

Icons – Stop – Go – Celebrate
This is possibly the strangest oldskool track I’ve ever posted, and that’s saying a fair amount. The artist behind this (Icons) is not to be confused with the UK early atmospheric / jazzy dnb Icons (aka Blame and Justice), or Icon (a Bay B Kane alias). Rather, it’s a group from Germany who I think…
M.A.D. – Drum Dance
Here’s a longtime favorite, not particularly hard to find or pricey but I can’t say I’ve ever heard it played. M.A.D. (Mental and Dangerous) did a lot of EPs spread over a few labels, including M.A.D. (his own label), Direct Force, Renk, and a nice jungle remix on Greensleeves. Some of his tunes are more…
Macka Brown – Peoples Station
Seriously nice ragga hardcore here… if you haven’t read about him on this site before, Macka Brown is half of Bug Khan and the Plastic Jam, and aside from his Bug Khan tracks is probably best known for the 92 feel good anthem “Go Down Baby”. Aside from that though, he did a number of…
DJ Eevil – Cum On (Mix 2)
Here’s a 92 piano hardcore jam I finally picked up recently, from the great D Zone Recs camp. Although D-Zone might have been a bit better known for their earlier stuff, their slightly later tunes are hidden gems with a few being mega-rare highly sought after obscurities now. This tune is far from the rarest…
Utomica – Rok A Bye
Here’s a definite classic which was on my wantlist for years. I finally just picked it up on vinyl as part of a big order I got in December (x-mas present to myself). I think hearing this over and over in a Doc Scott mix from 92 was what pushed me over the edge to…
Krispy Krouton – Work Your Body
Here’s a leftover I meant to post for x-mas/boxing day… from part 2 of the Krispy Krouton series of EPs on Empire. Krispy Krouton was a hardcore alias for Luke Slater, and though from I remember hearing he’s pretty dismissive of these EPs now, they’re still pretty well regarded (especially part 1, which I unfortunately…
Metroid – Digital NRG (NRGetic Mix)
Even though X-mas is over in most places, I’ve still got a few tracks left to post…. let’s see if I can keep this going through Boxing Day 🙂 This EP is by the two gents who did “Hyper Go-Go”, an early hardcore/house/techno act (one of those ones where it’s hard to say for certain…
Pow Pow – Volume 2
Here’s another whitelabel goody…. Pow Pow is a pretty underrated 92-93 record label, though there’s a fair bit of variability between the releases. According to some comment on discogs, this record got plays in an old Easygroove set, though I don’t remember which one. The Bob Marley sample is pretty catchy and it’s definitely a…
Elektron – Electro Fever (Club Mix)
Though supposedly from 92, this Elektron EP has the whole 90-91 bleeps-and-bass thing down pretty well. I first got it 8 years ago or so in a little batch of white labels for a pound a piece – some of the other ones ended up being a bit rarer (eg Stu-J – Gadget), but even…
