Here’s a fun track for Friday.. guessing the only reason this wasn’t bigger back when released was that it came out in 94 but sounds very much 92 style… not just the uplifting pianos (which contrast nicely with the Cape Fear soundtrack music sample), but the low fi hiphop vocals bits, etc. In fact, it…

DJ Kev – Happy Trax Vol 2
In preparation for Tim and I doing another darkside-meets-happy set (this time w/ me doing the happy stuff), here’s a happy favorite from quite early in the genre (93). I wish I could take credit for dredging this up myself, but I’m pretty sure it was in some Easygroove set or another, no doubt mixed…
Motiv-8 – Don’t Need Your Love (Slammin’ Piano Mix)
Here’s a happy hardcore remix by Red Alert + Mike Slammer, a bit later than their more well known earlier Slammin’ Vinyl releases. By the time this was released, happy hardcore as a sound had become more established, and as such the track construction is bit less metal and more in-line with the other popular…
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 🙂 🙂 🙂
E-Mense – Sweet Sex
Here’s a 92 track I’ve never heard anyone talk about / haven’t heard in mixes, but which was on my wants list for years. It wasn’t a top want so I wasn’t heavily digging for it, but I never really saw copies for sale either. Sort of one of those smaller tunes which seemed to…
Kristine W – Feel What You Want (Jungle Remix)
Here’s a tune I’ve had stuck in my head for some time now, and consider a pretty fun remix. It keeps things pretty stripped down and tasteful beat-wise, leaving the original tune’s vocals and synths to take prominence in the track (as they should). That being said, the tune being remixed here is essentially euro-house,…
Intoxicate – Just Can’t Stop
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…
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.…
Ramos + Supreme – The Journey, Pt 1
Gotta love these singles you know for one track but where another one ends up being your favorite… you might buy it for one reason and then later find out somewhere else on the EP is a tune you’ve heard in mixes but never quite knew before. That’s definitely the case with this Ramos +…
Virtual Reality – Make Some Noise
I know 1991 stuff doesn’t seem to get as much of a response when I post it as 94-95 jungle does, but here’s a ravey 91 monster which is pretty undeniable in my opinion. “Make Some Noise” is on the 786 label (side label to Deja Vu, or was it the other way around?), and…
