Paranoid beats from with haunting melodies and vocals at a super snail’s pace. Wicked stuff from some dude in San Francisco. Listen and then buy…

Dr. Dre – The $20 Sack Pyramid
Monday, December 13th, 2010
Classic skit from Dre’s The Chronic album. I seem to remember seeing some live version of this as well somewhere but I can’t find it anywhere now!

FZ – Forbidden Zone
Monday, December 6th, 2010
Not much is known about this one. No idea who was behind the release and I don’t know whether they made anything else. All I do know is that it’s a wicked slab of early ’90s breakbeat badness. You’ll probably recognise a rather famous sample from the lyrics…

DJ Slam – Looking Into the Light
Friday, December 3rd, 2010
If you say “I like happy hardcore” to most people then you’ll probably be treated either as a child or as someone with mild mental retardation. However, I hope to prove that there’s actually lots of (well, some) decent stuff in that most cheesy of genres. You can pretty much ignore anything after 1996 and even ’95 is pushing it but that brief period when jungle & happy were still played at the same raves and even in the same sets produced some great tunes which many people might be missing out on.
This is a killer tune from 1993 by DJ Slam. A pretty hard one to track down, wish I actually had a copy myself. It sums up perfectly, for me, what was good about happy hardcore. Hectic breaks, piano breakdown and heavy bassline before it all went a bit too four to the floor and started ripping off every pop tune ever.

Ciara – Oh
Thursday, December 2nd, 2010
Super slow and moody sounding, much better than that pop crap “1, 2 Step” that was from the same album, this was big for Ciara back in 2004. Can’t say that I paid any more attention to Ciara after this song came out, sorry about that, love…
