Profile: I may be willing to sell or trade you a tune you are after. But then again I may not. It depends what you are after. No harm in trying. Anything I have rated 5/5 is not going anywhere so don't even bother trying for them. Save us both some energy. But everything is for sale at my homepage link above.

2 Kilos ? - Mohamed's Mind - 21-Apr-05 03:29 AM
I remember hearing 2 of the tunes off this EP on a pirate radio tape my friend brought from London and deciding this was the music for me. There was no turning back. These tunes still sound unique today and to think they were made 15 years ago is mind-boggling. I searched for over 10 years for the break used in Mohammed's Mind and eventually found it and made a tune (which of course I had to call KIlos). Time for 2 Kilos? to make more tunes I reckon.

Young Free Radical - Slipstream - 04-Mar-05 04:39 AM
The track Slipstream is one of my 2 favourite tracks of all time. I remember being completely blown away the first time I heard it and it still does the same today. It is a hybrid of techno & hardcore that I have never come across again. The track itself is 12 minutes long and even then fades out, sounding as if it continued even longer but a 45rpm record could not fit it. I am always amazed by the amount of detail and edits in this track as in the pre-software days they must have taken a long, long time. For me this track epitomises that era before this music became an industry and there was still an "anything goes" mentality which paid no heed to paying bills. A work of genius. Find this record if you can.

Lennie De Ice - We Are i.e. - 13-Oct-04 01:51 PM
The track "We Are IE" on this record is often cited as being the first proto-jungle tune. It was the first tune to really incorporate a heavy ragga bassline with a breakbeat and was an indicator of what was to come. It was a huge tune played by every dj and still gets played today by the likes of MJ Cole as his closing tune.

Universal Project - The Soundclash EP - 05-Oct-04 12:01 AM
Undoubtedly my favorite UP release. Covering many styles from mellow to dark to jumpy, this EP has it all. The track Soundclash uses samples from the old Kicksquad track of the same name released on Kickin Records in 1990, which, incidentally was produced by DJ Hype who owns True Playaz. Somewhat of a tribute, and an excellent one at that!

23 Skidoo - Coup - 25-Jul-04 02:05 AM
The Chemical Brothers ripped it off alright but ended up having to pay for it. They were both signed to the same label at the time so an appropriate payoff was arranged.
