Here’s a killer whitelabel I’ve been playing for years now, while being a bit grubby and trying to keep it a secret from tracklists etc (my copy was a bit battered, it didn’t pop up that much and I was hoping to find a cleaner one for cheap eventually). Randomly, the producers popped on discogs…

Unknown Artist (DIC EP 004)
Here’s a record I don’t own OR know anything about, but I’m hoping someone will see this and help in one or both of those regards… pretty please?? I first heard about this EP roughly half a year ago, when Handsome Jak from the Beautifully Crafted Jungle crew started asking about it on a tune…
Colin B – Price of War
Wow, it’s been a year since I posted any individual tunes on blog to the oldskool. In fact, it’s been so long that when I went back to do a post, I was faced with this annoying new blog editing UI and ended up losing this post not once but twice. Hopefully 3rd time is…
Unknown Artist – Untitled white label (AM22505/AM22506)
UPDATE:, it’s been tentatively ID’d as Clarkee & Kriss-E Boy- Hardcore Revival EP. According to Andrew Abernathy on facebook: [it] came out early 00’s. I bought a copy myself in the local drum & bass/ garage shop. I asked esp clarke-e but he said it wasn’t by him. Since I’ve been terrible about posting tunes…
Zeno Zip – Mind Games
Here’s a cool 92 one-shot release by a one-shot artist. Nothing too mad, just nice hooky samples bordering on novelty but still within reason for me, plus good changeups and solid production for a 92 one-off EP. If I remember right, this was on my wantlist for quite a few years, nowadays it seems a…
Industrial Espionage – 4 U 2 B In XTC EP
Big in-demand 92 whitelabel for today! “4 U 2 B In XTC” was an EP by Grant Nelson, the man behind Wishdokta / many of the great Kickin’ Records releases as well as one of UKG’s progenitors. This EP, done under the one-off “Industrial Espionage” alias, might be just a little bit rougher around the…
Defiance – Hand In Hand
Here’s a track I played in the last two blog to the oldskool streams, figure it’s time to post it. Absolute favorite as of late, not particularly good breaks but just a winning combo of Joe Smooth – Promised Land samples with a fast stacatto hardcore melody. I’m almost positive the “Defiance” linked to in…
Cyanide 45 – Notice Me
I’ve been so caught up in posting mega obscure bargain bin tracks, it’s been a while since I posted a proper rare & heavily sought after CLASSIC – no question, this track fits the bill! “Notice Me” is one of those tunes like Insomnia – Nostalgic that manages to inject a fair bit of melancholy…
Chekists – Vengeance
Another white label I don’t have any info on, this one is a far cry from the choppy polished jungle I posted yesterday – it’s a lot moodier with acidy synths and a single note piano part coming in and out. The break layering in it sounded a bit awkward to me at first but…
Tic Tac Toe – Ephemerol
Here’s another one of those “how could I have gone 2 years without posting it” yet tracks. This one is by Simon Ratcliffe of Basement Jaxx, and is one of THE most essential hardcore whitelabels. The production is pretty low fi, but fits the track fine – a haunting piano loop, a multitude of break…
