Here’s a fun 92 whitelabel I don’t hear much mention of, though Mickey Finn and Kenny Ken both used to play it. The artist behind this (DJ Funky T) went on to do a solid EP on No U Turn, but this one is a bit rougher \/ definitely 92 white label style. “The Guvnor” has breakbeats ala PBB “Work the Box”, a good female vocal sample, MC snippet from a rave (which one? which MC?), some mental rave synths, and a simple-but-ruff piano line. All the 92 hardcore elements you could ask for!<\/p>\n

The other side (“Pure Steain”) is more of an overt sampleadelic mashup, hence the title. That side mixes the pitch-shifted breaks from “Terminator” with the pianos from “Far Out” if memory serves me right… not the most effective combo to my ears, but a solid example of the “no rules” thing going on at the time with tunes! Luckily, this is pretty easy and not too pricey to track down, so well worth it.
