OK, been a bit slack on the individual tune posts so here’s an absolute c-l-a-s-s-i-c to make up for it. This is a one-off EP made famous by Bukem playing it in one of his Best Yaman tapes Hardcore vol 11. The flipside was also in a previous Yaman tape (Hardcore Vol 9), but I…

Terrorize – Live 93 Video
Thanks to DJ Mark C (occasional reader here) for sharing this on b2vos. Words fail me for once, I’ll shut up and let you check it for yourself 🙂 🙂 🙂
RJ – Oriental Sunrise
Here’s an cool tune from the Boogie Beat / Hi Pois’n camp which has been stuck in my head a bit recently. Despite being from 93, it’s got nice crunchy 92 style production, with flanged/short delayed beats (think + “fools gold” aka the stone roses edit of hotpants), and a melody which I’m guessing is…
In-Side – Walking Around… Definite Steps
Along the lines of my International Hardcore jungle mix I posted a while ago, here’s a really unknown Swedish track. Aside from Dragonfly (who has everyone beat), this is probably the earliest Swedish breakbeat/hardcore track I’ve heard. As such, it’s pretty rough around the edges, but it’s got a great collection of fun and beyond-classic…
Blog to the Oldskool Radio Dec 14th: A-Z of 93 special
Here’s my set from Sunday’s show, rerecorded without the annoying banter and mic feedback. Also because my stream ripper crashed (as usual). 27 tracks in 58 mins, all from 93, all vinyl, mixed in alphabetical order by artist name. A lot more classics this time, not much nerdy stuff!
Goldseal Tribe – The Rush
Here’s an overlooked 93 track by Goldseal Tribe, in a late 92/93 style. Stompy kicks with nice break chops and big heavy bass throughout, reminding me a bit of “Pennywise” (similar sort of somber melody). The female vocals sound original to the tune, pretty low fi and much more home-brew than usual house or eurodance…
Sleepwalker – Age of Aquarius (Lemon D Remix)
Back with an absolutely HUGE tune… I’ve got no idea who Sleepwalker was, but this one-off EP released in 1993 has got “that” vibey sound, akin to the Dillinja / Lemon D / Planet Earth Records/ Photek (under various guises) tunes of that time. No holdover 92 rave stuff here! On the A side, “Spirit”…
Mad Ragga Jon + Stetly – Fall Down on Me
A year ago I posted a nice track by DJ Massive called “Fall Down”, which people sometimes mistake for another tune with the same sample.. well,this is that other tune. The Mad Ragga Jon version here is the more well known of those two and, dare, I say, a bit better (though the DJ Massive…
Unknown Artist – Atlas
Time for another obscurer-than-obscure jam, here’s a tune I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone else play? This one’s a bit interesting since it’s supposedly a US plate from 93, though it sounds more like something from the UK circa 91. There’s certainly no info on the release itself so I’m not sure where the…
Underground Frequency – Melodic Meltdown
Here’s an underrated track which has always gone for quite cheap, possibly due to the artist and label behind it not being hugely known. the “Melodic Meltdown” EP is a great 93 plate by the gents behind Hypno-Genesis, and as such is sort of the follow-up to their more well known “Induction of a Hypnotic…
