The occasional doubled-up beats-as-delay sound is a bit rough, but that just adds to the charm and reinforces that this wasn&#8217;t some super slick Top-Of-The-Pops single,  but something deeper and no doubt more heavily influential in the end.<\/p>\n<p>Still waiting to track down the &#8220;no sellout&#8221; EP by them&#8230;<br \/>\n<A href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/2-Kilos-Mohameds-Mind\/master\/34373\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/2_kilos.jpg\"><\/a><Br><br \/>\n<A href=\"\/blog\/audio\/2 Kilos - Mohameds Mind.mp3\">2 Kilos &#8211; Mohameds Mind<\/a><br \/><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-2737-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"\/blog\/audio\/2%20Kilos%20-%20Mohameds%20Mind.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"\/blog\/audio\/2%20Kilos%20-%20Mohameds%20Mind.mp3\">\/blog\/audio\/2%20Kilos%20-%20Mohameds%20Mind.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<A href=\"\/blog\/audio\/2 Kilos - Let Yourself Go.mp3\">2 Kilos &#8211; Let Yourself Go<\/a><Br><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-2737-2\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"\/blog\/audio\/2%20Kilos%20-%20Let%20Yourself%20Go.mp3?_=2\" \/><a href=\"\/blog\/audio\/2%20Kilos%20-%20Let%20Yourself%20Go.mp3\">\/blog\/audio\/2%20Kilos%20-%20Let%20Yourself%20Go.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p>Oh yeah, here&#8217;s the original break if anyone is curious:<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yucG4t2SIkQ#t=3m16s\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a while since I posted something pre-91, so here&#8217;s 2 really strong tracks from the Radioactive Lamb label&#8230; &#8220;Mohamed&#8217;s Mind&#8221; is a pretty well respected early single from back when hardcore was in its early stages, and seems to come from the same space (deep electro \/ industrial vibed tunes) as, say, Holy&hellip; <\/p>\n<div><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"http:\/\/blogtotheoldskool.com\/?p=2737\">Continue reading&#8230; <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">2 Kilos ? &#8211; Mohamed&#8217;s Mind<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[44],"class_list":["post-2737","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tunes","tag-44"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/blogtotheoldskool.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2737","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/blogtotheoldskool.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/blogtotheoldskool.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blogtotheoldskool.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blogtotheoldskool.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2737"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"http:\/\/blogtotheoldskool.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2737\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2744,"href":"http:\/\/blogtotheoldskool.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2737\/revisions\/2744"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/blogtotheoldskool.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2737"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blogtotheoldskool.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2737"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blogtotheoldskool.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2737"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
