Here are the tracks that I wrote for Monotonik last winter. After waiting for months and getting various promises from Simon it now appears that these tracks are never gonna come out on the label. Therefor I decided to make them available here, for free and for your pleasure. I hope you enjoy.

As you have probably noticed, I’ve not been uploading much new material lately. It is simply due to the fact that I’ve got a job again and being made redundant was the idea of this blog in the first place. I don’t have as much time for writing music now as I am working during the week. Nothing abnormal there But I’m not gonna stop writing music that I’ve written for over 20 years nor will I be burying this blog. I hope patience from you.

Peace.

Taken from 1991 EP on Volume Records.

After that last post I had to put this one up, such a great track. I also love this vocal version that I first picked up on a compilation called “wasted” back in 1991. Perfect for those wasted moments!

Το 2006 οι Skeewiff επέστρεψαν με την τελευταία, μέχρι τώρα, δουλειά τους, με τίτλο “Private Funktion”. Τα funky breaks μπλέκονται με τα ινδικά σιτάρ, οι cadillacs κόβουν βόλτες έξω από τα παγωτατζίδικα της δεκαετίας του 50 και το όλο σκηνικό ολοκληρώνεται με την ατμόσφαιρα a la Reservoir Dogs. Ο μόνος που λείπει είναι ο Tarantino… 4/5!

Σκήνη 1η: Μπαίνεις στο αυτοκίνητο και καθώς ψάχνεις ένα cd του 2003, πέφτεις πάνω στο “Cruise Control” των Skeewiff! Το βάζεις μπρος και στο επόμενο λεπτό το αμάξι σου έχει μετατραπεί σε νέο Delorian…

Σκηνή 2η: Ακούγοντας τον ρυθμό και τη groov-ιά αυτού του δίσκου, ταξιδέυεις πίσω στο χρόνο, φοράς ρούχα του 21ου αιώνα, πίνεις Red Bull, χαμουρεύεσαι με 15 διαφορετικές γκόμενες, φτάνεις σε οργασμό ακούγωντας το “Nitty Gritty” και μόλις τελειώσει το cd, διαπιστώνεις ότι δεν έχεις βγει καν από το γκαράζ σου…. 4/5!!

For me the best track on Fantazia’s First Taste album. Its got it all, rocking breaks, massive synths and a piano/ vocal break thats out of this world.

Delara just clocked me rocking out to it and told me im due to join the 21st century (she even did a nice running man for effect). If there was ever a track that would make me not want too. This would be it.

D.O.A. – MUPPET MAYHEM!!! I wish I still had this record.

PS…must listen to the final 15 seconds

The Sensi-tize boys barely try with this tune, they literally lift the best bits of Clubhouses’ “Light My Fire”, pitch it up 20% and chuck a banging breakbeat behind it. Still, if thats not what sample culture is about, I dont know what is. A rocking piece of uplifting hardcore breakbeat.

Sensi-tize are DJ Destruction, DJ Bassdriver & DJ Dan Hill

Clubhouse – Light My Fire (Original) [1993]

The boys from FSOL under the Mental Cube moniker released this monstrous STORMER onto an unsuspecting public. Its one of the most mature, rocking, flat out pounding techno crossover tracks of the early nineties. What makes it so amazing is hard to pin down, it might be the string section with its uplifting melancholy (!) or could it be the twangy 808 bassline? No idea, but I LOVE this tune. I could listen to it forever.

From Discogs
“Q” is one of the best songs FSOL ever made. Its amazing to see how Brian Dougans & Garry Cobain brought both of their amazing minds together to make such a Beautiful, Powerful & Enjoyable Techno Track.
This ill take to my grave!
6 Out of 5.

Οι Skeewiff έχουν επιτελέσει αρχιστράτηγοι της breakbeat και funky breaks μουσικής σκηνής. Το ντουέτο από την Μεγάλη Βρετανία ξέρει πως να χειριστεί τον ρυθμό και το groove αλλά και να πιάνει τον μουσικό παλμό της εποχής. Χρησιμοποιώντας κλασικά loops και samples, μεγαλουργούν, δημιουργώντας κάθε φορά εκπληκτικά αποτελέσματα. Η πρώτη τους δουλειά κυκλοφόρησε το 2000, με τίτλο “It’s All Gone”. Εξαιρετικό ντεμπούτο, με ένα album άκρως δυναμικό και χορευτικό, που θα σε κάνει να λικνίζεσαι μέχρι πρωίας… 4/5!

Rhythm Section’s lineup reads like a who’s who of hardcore producers and DJ’s – Ellis Dee and Rennie Pilgrem for starters, with Dan Pilgrem, Nick Scott and Richie T chipping in on the Atomic EP that this is lifted from. Takes a completely clean Amen and boosts the bass and midrange output and throws a massive bassline behind it. Storming!

Had this on a couple of old ass jammin’ mixtapes, mostly just the Hard Instrumental but I gotta confess to liking the rhymes on this slice of classic UK Hiphop.

Taken from thewhitenoiserevisited.co.uk – the only info I could get on this track
Originally released on Mark Brydon’s Nottingham-based FON Records (FON stood for ‘Fuck Off Nazis’) in 1989, ‘Hey! Hey! Can You Relate?’ is credited to Mink featuring 2wic-e the Trouble. This track is a fully paid-up member of the proper banger club, with hard as hell breakbeats, an awesome array of funk samples, and 2wic-e the Trouble’s fluid raps. They’re not the greatest MC’s by any stretch of the imagination, but their rhymes work perfectly with the track, and Mink proves himself to be a decent scratch DJ, demonstrating his ample skills towards the end of the track.

One of life’s great mysteries is why ‘Hey! Hey! Can You Relate?’, a brilliant slice of British hip hop from Nottingham’s DJ Mink and 2wic-e the Trouble (aka The K.I.D. and Carruthers), remains the only thing they ever did.

From DJ Razorcuts
“I still have my FON copy of this record… given to me by The KID himself back in 88… I was 17 at the time and was part of the Nottm scene and had worked with other members of the Rock City Crew like Pepse and Trix. DJ Mink was actually from Sheffield and was the younger brother of DJ Mongoose. KID Carruthers, or Lloyd to those that knew him was one of the Rock City crew turned MC and this was the best British hip-hop record I’d ever heard and I think it still is – I still play it out all the time, it rocks, but Hip Hop, especially stuff this hardcore was at the time very minority and most DJs wouldn’t even give the record a listen because it was English, it was tragic. About a year later I heard Lloyd (KID) was into heroin and burglary, which is real sad. Mink got into being a house/rave DJ and did well in the North for some time. I don’t know if either of them know the importance of this record at all.”

Swordxl delivers his first release for Xynthetic with the 10-track full length release ‘It’s Evolution Baby.’ Angular and oblique breakbeats collide with plush melodies and soft atmospherics through a variety of remixes of/by and original tracks from Swordxl. This release offers something for the casual listener as well as grist for those looking to dive deeper into the more cerebral end of breakcore and leftfield downtempo.

A deep variety pack of remixes, oblique breaks… an opaque lo-fi grab bag with something for the discerning listener

Audiobaum is a fresh-faced electronic music label in Helsinki, Finland.

Ghostly Figures is a lightly conceptual minialbum. Portrayed as a  panorama of feelings, those ghosts of the past are creating the layers of music that almost become tangible.

The Album begins with a bittersweet taste of dub-based longing, and it goes through a cold, melancholic idm-flavoured phase with broken textures and misty soundscapes that are on the verge of  breaking into darker areas of hurt, anger and frustration in the depths of dubstep.

Atari Teenage Riot. This record is not entirely new to me. But it’s been a long time. And I’ve never known it back to front like I, perhaps, once did another of their albums “The Future of War”. ATR are not to everyone’s taste. And understandably. The one and only time I ever saw them play was at the Big Day Out Festival. It was around 2 in the afternoon and the crowd were beginning to gather. I knew them by name but had never listened to anything. The sun was warm. Half the crowd was clad in black and awaiting Nine Inch Nails later that night. Out stormed Alec Empire, Hanin Elias and Carl Crack to an onslaught of blips, screeches, feedback and insanely fast break beats. The crowd erupted into circles, into thrashing, into destruction whilst curious onlookers stood aghast wondering what the hell was going on.

There’s a time to live and a time to die! 60 Second Wipe Out is brutal. It’s hard, it’s fast, it’s angry and it’s a call to arms. Elias screeches and wails, chorus chanting with Empire and intermittent rap from Crack as drums crash around harsh noise that eeks structure in its chaos. I’m sold. I can’t help but love them. Lyrically, they’re nothing but political, invoking some form of anarcho-nihilism that I’ve always felt sympathy for without actually being able to give myself into. Musically, the album is industrial, but nothing like other industrial groups – Einsturzende (no.), Ministry (no.), Ohgr (no.) Nine Inch Nails (no.) – it lacks that melody amongst the chaos that these other bands find. There is catchiness. But it calls for you to grab a metal bar and smash everything to pieces. It is industrial, breakbeat, punk, metal and noise all wrapped up in one very loud, very angry hour.

Revolution Action, Death of A President and Too Dead For Me are probably the standout tracks but amidst the wall of noise, you can always find something.

Sometime soon, I will get around to listening to Alec Empire’s latest album and to Hanin Elias’ solo effort. If anyone anywhere has Carl Crack’s solo album, I’d love to have a copy.

Here’s a new remix of an old tune. This tune, Dark Night of the Soul, was on our 1998 album, Reformation. The original tune was our attempt at drum and bass, before we really knew anything about drum and bass.

Dark Night of the Soul (Jean Delacroix Remix)
