G-Force (2) - I Can't Stand It (No More) - 26-Jan-09 04:57 AM
This is a bit of a hardcore gem, one for those that like it on an uplifting tip. The A side starts with a cheeky XTC sample and drops into a nice breakbeat and piano, then the female vocal kicks in and does the job. The track builds from there and due to the tempo would fit nicely into an oldskool set. Flip it over for a good remake of the KLFs - Grim Up North, the arrangement and vocals are different but copy the original well, whether you would play it over the original is up to you. There is also a instrumental and a accapella of the A side. This is well worth picking up if you see a copy and shouldt be too pricey.

Various - Sub Base For Your Face LP - 09-Jan-09 05:07 AM
Perhaps one of the most influential rave/drum and bass labels in the UK hardcore scene from its inception in 1991. This album is a must for those that were into the early rave sound, the samples, the scratching, the breaks, pianos and vocals. I was lucky enough to buy my records from boogie times in Romford and witnessed the scratching of Danny Breaks first hand, so if you do track down a copy of this album, only purchase it with the free 12” that was included on the early issues. This is basically Danny mixing and scratching his way through Fires Burning, Far Out, Future Sound, Why ect. The unmixed tunes on the album are also the best of the labels early output including the Krome & Time mix of Seasame’s Treet which is totally un-cheesy and many other tunes that now change hands for a fair few quid.

For the true trainspotter there is also a load of info and pictures about the artists and their tunes. A great album from a great label 5/5.

TBA (4) - I Want U 2 Stay / The Squidge - 19-Sep-08 08:06 AM
One of the most uplifting hardcore tunes from 1992 IMHO and one of my favorite. You know where this tune is going from the opening cords, the bass kicks in then the breakdown, a fantastic piano loop and then the vocals "I want you to stay, I want yout to stay...With me" A massive tune, on the slower side of hardcore, so this would easily slip into a house or hardcore set. Its also worth checking out other tunes on this label and by Jezz Wright 5/5

Caprice (7) - Love Me The Right Way - 01-Sep-08 09:19 AM
This is 12" is one of those hidden jems, the main A side is a nice vocal affair that Ive heard on a few old mixtapes, but flip it over to the Happy Larry "through love we will survive" mix and you will recognise this tune if you were ever into your Sasha mixes from 1992/93. A very simple mix, just a nice breakbeat and a synth breakdown, uplifting but also quite tough. Its also worth looking out for other tunes on this label, usally remixed by either Happy Larry or the Rapino brothers.

Obscure white label that if you went straight to the A side you might just think that it was an average filler type house tune, flip it over for two much harder tracks more 92 hardcore than anything else. The 1st tune on the B side is the one for me, a nice tough breakbeat and a lovely uplifting piano break. I can guarantee that this is on a number of your wants list as I remember it from a few top old mix tapes from back in the day, it may even be a un-identified want for a lot of people. If you see a copy snap it up, coz I doubt youll see another!!
