Here’s a single I see for sale pretty much constantly but never cared for… this is mostly due to the vocals on the A side which I absolutely can’t stand. However, I found it yet again last weekend, and decided to give the b side a listen – without the singing on top, this track…

SMF – Twisted Bungle
Here’s a pretty strange cool track by the guys who brought you “Guillotine”. This tune was featured in several big mixes including DJ Hype’s “Ruff Stuff Part 3” (a must-have if you haven’t heard it), Bukems Yamen studio mix #9, and a Gachet mix from 93. The breakproduction on this tune is a little bit…
Xenophobia – Project 250
Xenophobia was a project featuring Grant Nelson (aka Wishdokta) and 2 other producers. The MC’ing (by MC Scallywag of Spiral Tribe) isn’t my favorite, but fits the track given how “live” this tune sound. Regardless of that, this tune is fucking CRAZY. I command you to press play and jump around / bob your head…
The Prime Minister and the Chancellor – Red Lion
Here’s a nice lesser known record on J4M Records. J4M was mostly known for two artists – Nebula 2 (who dropped their incredible “Flatliners”/”COD Rider” single and remix single on there), and Bass Ballistics (of “Smoke This One” semi-fame). This EP doesn’t compare with those singles, and is somewhat “niche” oriented, but it’s is definitely…
FT & Myth – Straight Up
Here’s a fun track from 93, slightly reminiscent of something on Limited E-Edition. The drums don’t hit particularly hard, it’s just a bunch of crazy vocal loops dumped on top of each other, with a sample occasionally saying (what sounds like) “straight out of the jungle”. Needless to say I totally love crazy stuff like…
Strange Obscurities: Parabox “Silvermachine” + Justice EP
Here’s a couple of really strange singles I’ve ended up with that are more obscure and interesting than they are awesome… but I think they’re still worth posting for some of the nerdier oldschool collectors on here like me, who really wonder about each and every obscure white label. Parabox “Silvermachine” features three remixes of…
Cookie – Functioning
I got this EP today because it sounded really weird and I had never heard of it before. It’s actually pretty mediocre in my opinion, but the artist name / label name (“beast baseball”) / obscurity factor provided sufficient WTF-age to convince me to drop a buck or two on it. To be honest, I…
Sayoko – Sukiyaki
Here’s an interesting 95 jungle EP I found which isn’t listed discogs or rolldabeats. It’s on the US label Radikal Records, which put out some US pressings of a number of great rave records (as well as some no-so-great ones). The main track on this EP is a reggae tune featuring a Japanese singer named…
Audio Illusion – The Energy EP
Another track from that Easygroove mix, this is an EP I totally forgot was in that mix and picked up purely on the merits of another track called “Scrambled”. Here’s a writeup I did on discogs for this record: An excellent, obscure but cheap & easy to find 4 tracker. “Scrambled” is one of the…
Sir Spence – Non-Continuity EP
I picked up this Sir Spence – Non-Continuity EP recently, and at first I wasn’t totally sold on it. I finally got around to giving it some more listens recently, and it has really grown on me… to the point that it’s one of my better finds of 2008. The EP title is appropriate as…
