You might recognize the intro from MC Lethal&#8217;s &#8220;Rave Digger&#8221;, which makes me wonder whether this EP is by the same MC Lethal or whether it was just sampled on that EP.  Overall, &#8220;Execute&#8221; was certainly a much less well known tune than &#8220;Rave Digger&#8221; and maybe this isn&#8217;t as good of an EP, but that&#8217;s not saying much since &#8220;Rave Digger&#8221; was such a classic.  Certainly, this tune is a lot better than the current 2.5\/5 rating on discogs lets on. <\/p>\n<p>The version posted here is the main mix on the A side, which is pressed at 45 and contains just this track &#8211; hence it&#8217;s loud and clear.  The B side is pressed at 33, has 3 tracks, and is a bit more inconsistent, both sound quality and song-wise.  There&#8217;s an alternate mix of this tune (also pretty good), a somewhat unexciting housey hardcore track and one ultra grimey low-fi hardcore experiment which is strictly for the die-hard obscurity fanatics&#8230; I thought about posting it here but I&#8217;d rather leave it for those types who actually want to go through the hassle of tracking down this EP.  There&#8217;s also an alternate non-white label version of the EP available <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/Lethal-Execute-The-Techno-Style\/release\/505257\">Here<\/a>, with an added interview track and picture sleeve which looks to contain quite a lot of info&#8230; shame since I&#8217;m sure that would clear up a lot of questions I have about this EP and I&#8217;d be curious to hear that interview, but not ready to track down a whole other copy for it. If anyone has the picture sleeve version though and wants to fill us in with some info from it, please leave a comment below.<\/p>\n<p><A href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/release\/1080788\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/lethal.jpg\"><\/a><br \/>\n<A href=\"\/blog\/audio\/Lethal - Techno Stylin.mp3\">Lethal &#8211; Techno Stylin<\/a><br \/><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-2750-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"\/blog\/audio\/Lethal%20-%20Techno%20Stylin.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"\/blog\/audio\/Lethal%20-%20Techno%20Stylin.mp3\">\/blog\/audio\/Lethal%20-%20Techno%20Stylin.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m not sure whether this track counts as outright hardcore or hardcore hiphop \/ britcore&#8230; either way, it&#8217;s a keeper!
