Just As Long As I Got You - Looney Tunes
More beats from Frankie Bones, this time with Lenny Dee.
From 1989 on XL Recordings this version is the ‘Warehouse Rave Remix’.
Another tune that reminds me of pirate radio, sweaty clubs & good times.

Another excellent selection of breaks & beats, courtesy of Mixcloud.
I love it!

Say Kids What Time Is It? - Coldcut
Coldcut’s first release, in 1987, this track began as a limited edition of only 500 pressings.
I paid £20 or £25 (a fortune for me in 1987) at Spin Offs in Hammersmith which was possibly the only place to stock it.
Its scarcity caused the value to rocket and copies were soon changing hands for £75 or more.
It was re-pressed at some point, and probably bootlegged too, with some copies including a stamp of the artist & title.
My copy is actually an off yellow colour with no writing at all except ‘Cut It up’ and ‘DGO1′ etched in the run out groove which, according to Discogs, makes it the original original!
See Wikipedia for a run down of all the samples.
Only Americans had done this type of thing before, most famously Double Dee Steinski, and Coldcut were British!
This shot Coldcut onto the scene, instantly establishing them as innovators and a force to be reckoned with.
Flash Jordan Revival by Flash Jordan on Mixcloud
Another of my favourite mixes on Mixcloud.
Flash Jordan weaves together an awesome mix of phat beats, soulful vocals & throbbing basslines in this brilliant mix from last year.
Nice one Flash!
This is one of my favourite mixes on Mixcloud, and probably the one I’ve played the most.
By the MustBeat Crew from Hungary, they combine breakbeats, soulful vocals and funky riffs to make an hour of pure pleasure.
I seriously suggest checking out some of their other stuff too – it’s all good.
Enjoy!

Hurricane - Sykosis 451
This is truly a Bad Ass Toon!
A typical hardcore tune from 1991 – a killer drum break, awesome bassline & a sample that sounds like someone shaving a frying pan with razor blades.
True UK ‘ardcore at its best. I bought this copy in Black Market – thanks Nikky!
