Here’s a longtime secret track I grabbed super cheap a few years back. I held off posting it because, even though it was quite cheap, nobody had it for sale on discogs (though it was cheap on another site), also I never heard anyone talk about it… I almost considered buying up a bunch of…

Formula 7 – Voodoo
If you check this blog a lot, you’re probably aware how much I love tracks with lowfi choppy breakbeats layered up. This track by Formula 7 fits that description well – a resequenced kickback intro transitions into that beat combined with the terminator break, combined with simple sci-fi-esque pads and a repeating “I thought voodoo…
Krazy Kid & Uncle – Dick Turpin Remix
More crazy 92 sounds… De Underground and their associated labels did quite a few releases which as a whole are a bit underrated in comparison to other labels’ output at the time. Rather than going for simple cheesy piano anthems, a lot of their earliest tunes had strange sanmples, raw production, and in general are…
Marc Williams – Dream Rush
Here’s a rip which I did over 3 years ago for this blog, but never posted.. I think I ripped this the same time as Intellect – Stimulation, which is on the same EP. It’s likely I chose not to post this since I didn’t want to post multiple tracks off the same record –…
DJ Fly – High On Life EP
OK, and now for something a bit less “classic”. Here’s one of the best scores from my Cali trip a few weeks ago. And by best, I mean most hilarious/fun/awful/cool/wtf. In theory, this is a mega rare hardcore record on Mendoza, a label that put out some really cool early rave bits as well as…
CMC – Techno Drome
Here’s a totally mental favorite from 92, on the Ibiza sublabel Limited E Edition. It just popped to mind because someone from Well Rounded Records posted a youtube video that happened to be the the main sample source for the track: I always thought the end of the sample sounded like it was saying “mother…
Drastik Plastik – Stress
This tune exemplifies the kind of stuff I like posting on this site the most: not your standard choppy amen tracks, but earlier more “out there” hardcore tunes. Frantic synth parts, tempo changes, drastic changeups, “where the hell did THAT come from?!!” samples. Drastik Plastik did a few other EPs, this tune is probably my…

Wriggler Bascombe – Final Battle
I sort of go through phases of liking this tune a fair bit and not as much. “Final Battle” is a nutty 1993 amen track utilizing a ’92 sampletastic method of songwriting – throw everything but the kitchen sink in there, and see what sticks. To that end, we get video game bleeps, kung fu…
Cool Hand Flex – ZX2 EP
Not the easiest record to find, Cool Hand Flex’s “ZX2” EP is well worth tracking down for its 3 totally different sounding but all excellent tunes. The A side is the massive track “Your Risk”, also released on this EP. Definitely one of my favorites by him and one of his catchiest early tracks. The…
