Rather overshadowed by some of the other tracks on the same EP I love this little number from Manix on Enforcers 3. Leaning towards the techno end of hardcore but keeping those super distinctive Reinforced pad sounds you can tell instantly this is the work of the Dollis Hill lads. Of course the big tune on this release was Rollin’ Like Scottie which is a dancefloor killer but I like to break out this one every once in a while
Massive breakbeat hardcore tune from ‘92. Taking a tiny piece of Michael Jackson and pitching it about worked a treat and this one has gone down as a total classic. It even used to get played at Garage dances back in the mid to late 90s.
Massive ‘93 hardcore from Basement sister label Homegrown. Just the perfect meeting of pianos and breakbeats before things all started to go way too stompy and happy. I’ll track this one down on vinyl one day, fucker to find at a decent price, though. Big party vibes
A total classic piece of ‘91 breakbeat hardcore here from the seminal Shut Up & Dance Label. I’ve already spilled my heart about these guys in a Ragga Twins post. I’ve never worked out whether Cedric Winkleburger is just another alias for PJ & Smiley or whether it was a legitimate artist but the track sounds very similar to other SUAD productions of the time.
An absolute corker of a tune, I could listen to this all day
