I have to be honest though. A lot of the stuff I posted, it's more like a wishlist of stuff that I wish I would have heard more and/or been more tuned into at the time.
The kind of stuff I heard when I went out, and also in my record bag when I first started DJing in 92 was more along the lines of those a big ravey sounds that have been posted here along the lines of Human Resource.
I ain't gonna pretend otherwise.
Stuff that was actually in my record bag from 91 when I first started DJing in 92 was more like this (a lot of this stuff just didn't hold up well, though, in my opinion - still have the eon though):

from this side, the Atlantic has been an old trade route and getting deluged in enough Nu Groove and Strictly releases will eventually radicalise anyone ;)

Nu Groove another with 20+ releases for this year alone, work is too chaotic to dig

Samples were better in 91, we were probably all still clever and discerning, not yet the saucer-pupiled mongbots of 92

I have never bothered to look up 80 Aum, the label "The Spirit" came out on

From Dordrecht, which sounds pretty hardcore, but then the pictures online look rather dainty and quaint - not Rotterdam

Look at its family of sub-labels!

2 Phase Records, 666 (6), 90 Aum Records, Back To Basics Recordings, Club Avenue, Culture Shock Records, D-Stroy Records, Dada Rekords, Death Blow, Englishman, Exodus Records, Fast Forward, Fix Records, Flight Records, Haberdasher Records, Heavy Tools, Impulse Recordings, Prism Recordings, Re-fuse, Rex Records (2), Royal Club Records, Seven (3), Spick & Span Rekords, TGV, Tricky Traxx, Unknown Species Records, Virtual
Media, Wasted Vinyl, X-ecute Records, X-travaganza

The label closed in 1998 - perhaps it overextended itself

The techno spectacle of the 1991 gulf war powered the victory of machine music throughout the year. This ep includes a track called Mind War which has artillery barrage percussion throughout, and the main riff on horsepower is reminiscent of a Patriot missile ascending to destroy a returning RAF Tornado bomber.


That's a great tune - he never did anything quite as immense, that I've heard anyway.

not kidding prob my fave era of rob hood. absolutely compulsive tough grooving hardcore, bringing out something still latent in the more ravey ur stuff.. one of the great short run labels and picked loads of them up cheap in mid 00s. pre-smartphones no one knew what the fuck it was! ’bout as hard as I go as it goes..
