Interface (Mike Ash) - Ash Trax Volume 1 [RSN 34] (1992)

Click Here

Overview:
It has been quite a while since the last time I updated the site.  I was waiting until I hit the 1,000 page-view mark to upload something special. This record is a fine example of 92 'ardcore done right on the limited technology available. This is Mike Ash's first EP and is in my opinion more edgy than the iconic "Toytown E.P" which Interface is known for.

The A side is mainly acid sounding hardcore techno which was great back in 92. The B side is a more traditional hardcore sound matching the standard of other releases at the time with "Bust This" being my favorite track of the EP.

Enjoy!

Info:
This set is full of rough 92 hardcore techno spun by Lenny Dee in his prime at Sterns. This was about 1 year before Sterns final night in late 93. Sterns was one of the biggest nightclubs in the UK, and there have been many legendary sets recorded there.

Bassheads - C.O.D.E.S. (1993)


Here

Password: handsindaair

This album is commercial to me and the only reason I am posting it on here is, this album is truly ahead of its time. For 1993 many of these tracks are very futuristic and the sampling is just right especially in Is Anybody Out There sourced from the track of the same name by Pink Floyd.

My personal favorites from this album are: Back To The Old School, House Time and Is There Anybody Out There.

Label: Deconstruction

Easygroove - Live @ Hellraiser 8 Belfast Ulster Hall (July 31st 1993)





Here

Password: handsindaair

This set was recorded on July 31st 1993 in Belfast, Ireland and is hands down one of the best sets out there by the legendary Easygroove. Just listen to the way he combines old school hardcore, acid, and some gabba into a set that just keeps on rockin with no mistakes. I will try to get more sets from this event on here but, in the meantime enjoy this one.
