| DON'T GO - AWESOME 3 (Kicks Remix) - CITY BEAT (CBE1271) | DOWNLOAD | |||
|
This is the Kicks like a mule remix of don't go. This vinyl has the original and remixes while the original 12" on Entity has Headstong on the flip side. There isn't really too much difference between the mixes - I put this one up cause its not quite as featured as the original on the web. Unfortunately much overplayed and as a result viewed as a bit cheesy these days, a wicked tune though. | |||
| FEEL THE RHYTHM - RHYTHM SECTION (RS005) | DOWNLOAD | |||
 |
"Feel the Rhythm" is my fav tune from the total awseome Coming on Strong EP which features 4 absoultely class tunes - any of which could have features in the archive. The others trakcs are "Nu Generation", "Is this Real", "Emotion". possible the best all time piece. In its day a real ground breaking tune that set the scene for 91. The guys behind this tune are Ellis Dee, Rennie Pilgrim and Nick Newton. | |||
| YOUR LOVE- THE PRODIGY - XL (XLT21) | DOWNLOAD | |||
 |
Undoubtably the Prodigy's finest moment tucked away on the flipside of Charly it was probably a little bit overshadowed at the time but while Charly is a cheese fest Your Love is top hardcore action. Energetic, uplifting with loads of different elements introduced throughout the tune - pushing for one of my favourite tunes of all time - my enjoyment of this one never fades with no matter how much its replayed | |||
| ITS JUST A FEELING - TERRORIZE - HAMSTER (12STERT1) | ||||
 |
The piano riff at the start of this tune has a very Bizzare Inc feel to it and like playing with Knives lauches into a pretty hard hoover stab after the smooth piano's. The tune therefore has really mad sections with smooth piano sections in between for you to put your hands in the air and take a breather. Essentially the format for a lot of 91 and 92 hardcore - this tune has it down to a tee | |||
| FAR OUT- SONZ OF A LOOP DE LOOP ERA (SUBBASE008) | DOWNLOAD | |||
 |
Need I say more - this gotta be one of the best known oldskool anthems of all time. Funnily not one I was really into at the time cause I was a hardcore nutter and Far Out is pianoey and quite mellow - one that's grown on me as I've aged and got into the mellower stuff. Sadly this tune is massively overplayed these days but salvation can be had by flipping it over and listening to the wicked "Higher". | |||
| LOCK UP - ZERO B - FFRR (TABX102) | DOWNLOAD | |||
 |
I remember this tune very clearly - jumping around at the Astoria up on the balcony tables. This, "Rhythm Section" and "Different Strokes" were the tunes of the time for me, and the flip side of Far Out - "i'm so far off the groud I can see for mile around"......... Some confusion about which mix of this is the good one, this is the Monolith mix - I'm sure Rizzla will disagree with my choice, any one for Zinc | |||
| EXTACY - SHADES OF RHYTHM - (SAM914) | DOWNLOAD | |||
 |
Shades of Rhythm made some massive piano based classics, the archive wouln't be complete without including something from these guys. This is my favourite of their tunes but Sounds of Eden was running it close. I guess any tune with Extacy sample thoughout had to be a winner - lol. | |||
| DIFFERENT STROKES - ISOTONIK - FFRR (TABX101) | DOWNLOAD | |||
 |
Another one of me favourite tunes, this is da bollox - see me comments about Lock up for more reminising. I found this really uplifting, the vocals put a big smile on me face. If you like this one then be sure to check the much overlooked Isotonik EP which has got 3 wicked tunes in the same style. And the reason the Isotonik stuff sounds so good - make by Ellis Dee. | |||
| I FEEL THIS WAY- RACHAEL WALLACE - (SUBBASE 006R) | DOWNLOAD | |||
 |
Not a tune which really grabs me a lot - bit handbag for me really but a massively loved anthem out there in club land. Really catching original vocals and lots of piano make it a happy and uplifting tune. The mix featured in the clip is the "beefed up mix" which is by far the best mix. I've seen this tune go for over £50 on E-Bay but as far as I know it reasonably easy to pick up ... innit? | |||
| PLAYING WITH KNIVES -BIZZARE INC - (STORM38) | DOWNLOAD | |||
 |
Bizzare Inc. one of the original innovators. When they came out with this tune, undeground dance music was still techno or house orientated. Playing with knives broke the mold and set the tone for what was gonna become 91/92 hardcore. Massive piano riff to chill to and mad hoover sample to go mental to this is a top tune. Shame Bizzare Inc. seemed to sell out after this tune | |||
