It’s been a while since I’ve posted a US obscurity, so here’s a nice tune that I don’t think many people know about. “Break You Down” is one of those super simple tracks that just combines a couple of critical elements of other tracks, but to very nice effect. Here we get the breaks from…

Kingsize – Come Now People EP
I’ve been meaning to save this EP for an article on early US breakbeat hardcore/rave, but it’s been a while since I posted any domestic obscurities. Despite a number of DJs playing oldskool here, very little bonafide 92/93 style tunes got released in the US, with most of the hardcore being more of the rave/techno…
Code 6 – Third Aura
This is seriously one of the biggest tunes I’ve posted in recent time… lush breakbeat techno jam by Joey Beltram under his Code 6 alias. According to a comment I read on discogs, this alias was for his more experimental idm / early warp sounding stuff. I’m not sure how true that is, but it’s…
QBass – Deepa (Digital Remix by Chris Cox & Michael Eng)
It’s been quite a while since I posted a us digital remix of a known oldskool track from one of those early 90’s compilations.. in the past, I’ve posted some of these promo-only remixes for tracks like Sonz of a Loop Da Loop – Far Out, Acen – Close Your Eyes, X-Static – Ready 2…
LSDJ-E – Let The Rhythm Take You
Sorry for lack of posts, away in LA + SF this past week… getting back in a few days and will have some tasty treats to post then!! (some decent scores on this trip) In the meantime, here’s a mini post… a track I ripped which meant to play in SF if I got booked…
To Kool Chris & Kool Rock Steady – I Love The Way You Do It (Jungle Mix)
It’s been a while since I posted a US track, so here’s a lesser known one – a random 95 jungle remix hidden on a house single. In this case, the original track features some vocals from Darryl Pandy, from the classic “Love Can’t Turn Around” The remix is some nice solid choppy amen work,…
Oddysey – “Joy of Joy”
Here’s a real obscurity I doubt almost any oldskool fans have had a chance to hear. I’m always on the hunt for weird/out there sounding stuff, and during some recent “obscurity mining” I stumbled on a copy of this record: Odyssey – Joy Of Joy It’s a hardcore EP from 1993 featuring really off kilter…
Atom B – Dance the Night Away
I haven’t posted any obscure US stuff in a while, so here’s a track off an early rave comp. It’s by Atom B aka DJ Eddie Edul, a California DJ who is still active (presumably playing current club stuff now). Eddie Edul also did a full EP on the same label which I’ve never heard,…
Kaotic Chemistry – LSD/Spacecakes (Rampage! vol 1 DJ Edit)
I can’t help it, I’m totally hooked on these US edits of oldskool tracks. Even when they don’t add much to the originals, these edits still seem to revive tunes which I’ve listened to far too many times. They also seem to be an interesting choice for DJ’ing live, since you basically get to play…
v/a “Malcolm X” EP
I haven’t posted any random US stuff in a while, so here’s a Belgian single with some US oldskool tracks on it. The first side is taken up by several mixes of the track “the truth”, which is OK but nothing mindblowing. If I remember it right, it has a bunch of Malcolm X samples,…
