The Emotions vocal loop on Hold It Down is actually a sample from MC Shy D - Bust This (has the 909 kicks and hats behind it). And the break on Bombscare is Soul II Soul - Back To Life with the intro fill from Funky President every four bars.

referencing Hold It Down (J & M Remix) (Lathe Cut, 7", 45 RPM, Limited Edition) none

Ah that classic break from The Vibrettes, one of my all time fave funk drum snippets due to the wonky, fonky, stark & clonky beat, makes me move every time. Used on a good few classic breakbeat tracks back in the NINE T's, the good ol' dayz!

I would not be shocked to see this very limited lathe cut 7" ** pick up continuous heat over time, so consider me a friend if this page is dried up, or prices hitting the roof: second chance to own the track HERE Justice, Metro (26) - Hold It Down / Big Love Overdose with a different track on the flip.

Ain't it good 2 ya.

** Going by 1-800-Dubplate's website (the plant likely to have pressed these), larger run's are cited at 10-50 copies max. It is likely there are only x50 of these bad boys in circulation, maybe less...

Up there with the House Crew "We Are Hardcore" for the very best in hardcore from 1991/92. Amazing tune in every way. Massive on the London pirates and Kiss back then.

Taking me back to them classic nights at Shelleys and the Eclipse , Oldskool ..you know the score. I remember picking up the track from a vinyl shop in Coventry, I can not remember its name back in 91/92.

Stone cold classic, groundbreaking tune that still sounds superb today. Captures that mutating momet when breakbeat/rave was on the edge of becoming jungle.
