| | Revenge of the oldskool anthems! | |
| | | |
| | - http://www.kniteforce.co.uk - | |
| | | |
| | Luna C's label, Kniteforce Records, was | |
| | responsible for injecting happy vibes into | |
| | what was growing to be an almost entirely | |
| | dark scene -- hardcore circa 1993. With his | |
| | first release, "Luna C Project 1", he managed | |
| | to coin the term 'happy hardcore' (but please | |
| | don't hold that against him). Back in action | |
| | after several years, the newly revitalized | |
| | Kniteforce label is churning out new tracks | |
| | with oldskool spirit under its KFA imprint, | |
| | as well as re-releasing several of its | |
| | classic gems in their new "Ancient Sound Of | |
| | Hardcore" LPs. Allow me to quote from the | |
| | sleeve jacket: | |
| | | |
| | "Over the past decade, dance music has | |
| | developed and grown way beyond anyone's | |
| | expectations. It has become accepted | |
| | worldwide, and while making a lot of the | |
| | original creators into international dance | |
| | acts, it has also been used for everything | |
| | from boosting aging pop stars careers, to | |
| | selling fizzy drinks and toilet cleaner. | |
| | However, as it has grown and split into | |
| | various styles, many people have become | |
| | disenchanted with the music and the scene as | |
| | a whole. Originally, the music was | |
| | inspirational and groundbreaking, whereas now | |
| | the majority of dance music seems to conform | |
| | to a format and become conservative, and | |
| | worst of all, boring. The last few years | |
| | have seen people from all genres looking back | |
| | to the oldskool for inspiration, and seeing | |
| | what was right and what went wrong. As | |
| | expected, the major labels have picked up on | |
| | this, and now there is a flood of oldskool | |
| | LPs, each with basically the same tracks on | |
| | them. Although the anthems featured on these | |
| | LPs are all superb, what really glued the | |
| | scene together was the high quality and | |
| | innovative tracks between them, many of which | |
| | have disappeared as time has passed, and are | |
| | now only remembered on old mix tapes, and in | |
| | the hearts and minds of the people who | |
| | experienced those golden years. This LP | |
| | contains 12 of these underground anthems, in | |
| | their original, unedited format. Many of the | |
| | featured artists went on to be successful in | |
| | their own right. DJ Ham teamed up with DJ | |
| | Brisk to run the pioneering Next Generation | |
| | Records, as well as using the name | |
| | "Powerhouse" to great success with DJ Poosie. | |
| | Luna-C developed various drum'n'bass labels, | |
| | such as Influential Records, and now also | |
| | runs KFA, a label dedicated to new oldskool. | |
| | DJ Force and the Evolution became Force and | |
| | Styles, and produced a number of huge hits on | |
| | their label, UK Dance. | |
| | | |
| | All of these artists have tracks on this LP, | |
| | and started their careers with Kniteforce | |
| | Records. Most of these tracks have been | |
| | unavailable on vinyl in the original format | |
| | since they were first pressed, which | |
| | inevitably makes them collectible... most | |
| | change hands for excessive amounts of money. | |
| | | |
| | So take a trip down memory lane... and | |
| | remember, a wise man once said... "If you | |
| | don't know your past, you don't know your | |
| | future"... | |
| | | |
| | - Chris Howell (Kniteforce / KFA)" | |
| | | |
| | Getting on with it, as if the info here | |
| | wasn't long enough, here's some background on | |
| | the tracks appearing on this compilation. | |
| | Except where marked, all tracks appear in | |
| | their original mix. | |
| | | |
| | 1. Luna C - Edge Of Madness (Sublove Mix) | |
| | Taken from the very first Kniteforce | |
| | release, catalog number KF001. "Edge | |
| | Of Madness" began life as a track he | |
| | did for the Smart E's group (they of | |
| | "Sesame's Treet" fame) entitled | |
| | "Intruder Alert". It was later redone | |
| | by Luna C himself, and given a new remix | |
| | by Sublove. For those who don't know, | |
| | Sublove was two folks who are now big | |
| | names in the electronic scene: Jody, | |
| | of the progressive group Way Out West, | |
| | and DJ Die, known mainly for his work | |
| | with Roni Size's "Reprazent" collective. | |
| | The same EP featured the original | |
| | version of "Insanity Clause", which has | |
| | recently been updated for the KFA label. | |
| | | |
| | 2. DJ Evil and DJ Luna C - The Real | |
| | (New Oldskool Mix) | |
| | Brand new production from Luna C in | |
| | association with the Japanese DJ Evil, | |
| | who has been influential in the hardcore | |
| | scene in Japan, running his own label | |
| | 'Fever Ray', as well as remixing tunes | |
| | for such other notables as Scott Brown | |
| | and Jimmy J. | |
| | | |
| | 3. Cru-L-T - Snow In Summer | |
| | Originally released on Kniteforce | |
| | catalog number KF023, this vocal tune | |
| | is one of the lesser heard but more | |
| | infamous tracks on the label. | |
| | | |
| | 4. Alk-E-D - Selecta | |
| | This A-side from Kniteforce release | |
| | number KF005 is one of the most | |
| | endearing tracks on the label, due to | |
| | its catchy "going out of my head" vocals | |
| | sampled from Colonel Abrams's mid-80's | |
| | hit "Trapped". Its longevity has been | |
| | extended due to a constant supply of | |
| | remixes, as well. The first one was on | |
| | Kniteforce KF008, a split EP with a | |
| | remix of Trip One's "Snowball" on the | |
| | other side. The second appeared on | |
| | the Kniteforce Special Edition series | |
| | of 10"s, catalog number KFSE02, done | |
| | courtesy of Ham & D. This also later | |
| | appeared on the "Future Sound Of | |
| | Hardcore" compilation. Most recently, | |
| | Alk-E-D revisited the track himself for | |
| | the KFA label, on KFA006 "The True Skool | |
| | EP 2". | |
| | | |
| | 5. DJ Force & The Evolution - Fall Down | |
| | On Me | |
| | This was the first track on the label | |
| | to not be done by Luna C, with a | |
| | catalogue number of KF003 for its | |
| | original pressing. Quite a few of | |
| | these are super-rare, as only half of | |
| | them were pressed on red vinyl. Of | |
| | course, it's been repressed several | |
| | times since then and appeared on | |
| | countless compilations. Fun fact: | |
| | DJ Force & The Evolution later became | |
| | the stompy happy hardcore supergroup | |
| | Force & Styles, responsible for such | |
| | cheesy anthems as Heart Of Gold. | |
| | | |
| | 6. DJ Ham - Most Uplifting | |
| | This track originally was the B-side to | |
| | the Krome & Time remix of his Kniteforce | |
| | debut, "Green Eggs And...". The | |
| | catalog number on this one is KF021R. | |
| | It later received a remix by label | |
| | stalwarts Future Primitive for KF030, | |
| | this time utilizing a vocal sample from | |
| | Rhythm Quest's "Closer To All Your | |
| | Dreams", and while that one's more | |
| | fondly remembered, it's nice to hear | |
| | the original here. | |
| | | |
| | 7. Trip 2 - The Erb (Special Toke Mix) | |
| | Huge tune from this Kniteforce crew | |
| | side project, consisting of Luna C, | |
| | Spencer, and Bull-E. The "Trip" | |
| | releases were done as departures from | |
| | the typical Kniteforce label style, | |
| | and where the first Trip release ("The | |
| | Snowball") was done in serious darkside | |
| | mode, this one is as ragga as they come. | |
| | The "Special Toke" mix from KF015R is | |
| | featured here, but the original was | |
| | released on a green 10" as KFO10, as | |
| | well as having another remix on the | |
| | original KF015. There's also just | |
| | been a new remix of this for KFA, | |
| | on catalog number KFA007, entitled the | |
| | "Top Budz" remix. Cheeky, innit? | |
| | | |
| | 8. 2 Experience - Sweet Dreams | |
| | Subtitled "Do What You Want", this | |
| | piano-heavy track from the later phase | |
| | of the original Kniteforce releases | |
| | featured Cru-L-T in a production role. | |
| | Not too much else to say about this | |
| | one, as they never released another | |
| | single, leaving KF036 as their only | |
| | Kniteforce output. | |
| | | |
| | 9. Future Primitive - We're Flying | |
| | (Vibes & Wishdokta Rmx) | |
| | Massive hardcore business here. The | |
| | original of this track was ruff enough, | |
| | and then Vibes & Wishdokta (the creators | |
| | of the classic "Obsession (Music's So | |
| | Wonderful)", and of Asylum / VW / Ravers | |
| | Choice fame) turned it up another notch. | |
| | The original release was KF018, and | |
| | the remix was (predictably) KF018R. | |
| | | |
| | 10. Jimmy J & Cru-L-T - Runaway | |
| | Now here's a rarity for you -- never | |
| | properly released in the past, this | |
| | was only available as a very limited | |
| | white label with the catalogue number | |
| | of BARRY01. It was later given a remix | |
| | in 1997 for KF048, but the original is | |
| | the better version. Enjoy it! | |
| | | |
| | 11. Luna C - Piano Progression | |
| | Another all time classic. Originally | |
| | released on KF025 (as the "Double | |
| | Whopper Mix", featuring Mad Mind Jox | |
| | and K.E.), it went on to spawn several | |
| | remixes and other tracks in the same | |
| | theme, such as the Luna C Project 5 | |
| | EP (KF031) which contained a remix of | |
| | "Piano Progression", as well as the | |
| | new tracks "Piano Confusion" and "Piano | |
| | Ommision". He then finished it off with | |
| | "Piano Obsession (Progressing | |
| | Progression)" on his final Luna C | |
| | Project EP for the original Kniteforce | |
| | label, catalog number KF040. But rumor | |
| | has it that for the 10th anniversary | |
| | of Kniteforce, there'll be a brand new | |
| | version, mysteriously titled "Piano | |
| | Progression X"! Oddly enough, for a | |
| | song that's considered to be a template | |
| | for the rest of the happy hardcore that | |
| | followed, the song isn't very "happy" | |
| | sounding at all -- rather melancholy, | |
| | but hey, who am I to complain. :) | |
| | Coincidentally, the sample from NASA | |
| | that is used in this track was also used | |
| | in a song he recorded for the Smart E's | |
| | album, "Apollo (Lunar Mix)", and used | |
| | almost exactly the same way. | |
| | | |
| | 12. Poosie & Cru-L-T - Hear Me Hear Me | |
| | Finally, rounding things out with one | |
| | of my own personal favorites, this | |
| | track was the flipside to "Knite In | |
| | Paradise" on KF009. Utilizing those | |
| | chipmunk vocals to near perfection, | |
| | this one drops all pretense of happy | |
| | vibes and goes straight for the jugular | |
| | on the wicked bassline and breakbeats. | |
| | Check the drop at the 2 and 1/2 minute | |
| | mark -- absolute class. This is one | |
| | of those tunes that sends shivers up | |
| | your spine every time you hear it, | |
| | and really, that's what makes the best | |
| | tunes the best. | |
| | | |
| | As you can see, an excellent compilation all | |
| | around from the Kniteforce posse. Volume two | |
| | is on the way, which will be featuring | |
| | another 12 classic cuts from the good old | |
| | days of UK hardcore. If you enjoy this | |
| | release (and other KF / KFA releases), be | |
| | sure to support them by buying the actual | |
| | vinyl release. Most of them can be found | |
| | through I-Tunes (http://www.i-tunes.co.uk), | |
| | but once they sell out through that site, | |
| | it's going to be a hunt -- but well worth it | |
| | if you can nab them. | |
| | | |
| | Much love and respect to the oldskool massive | |
| | -- hold it down in the 2002. Much more is on | |
| | the way! | |
| | | |
| | ...you actually read all the way down here? | |
| | Good for you! Here, have a gold star... and | |
| | remember, don't die wondering... | |

| |
| SOUR has been releasing good quality drum'n'bass, jungle & oldskool rips to |
| the internet drum'n'bass public since summer 1999. Originally a small |
| operation, we have now reached levels of international acclaim. |
| |
| SOUR is dedicated to both the availability and promotion of music to the |
| public, and our rips are intended to reflect these ideals. Specifically: |
| |
| . SOUR is dedicated to the promotion of new music that is currently |
| available to buy. If you like something you hear, you are obliged to |
| attempt to purchase an original copy. |
| |
| . SOUR is dedicated to the promotion of old music that may no longer be |
| available to buy. |
| |
| . SOUR is dedicated to the expansion and infiltration of drum'n'bass |
| worldwide! We provide a service where none is available, specifically in |
| many remote countries where traditional distributors can not afford to |
| target. Also, the availability of drum'n'bass in an easily accessible |
| form expands the potential for real world sales to people who may not |
| otherwise have considered buying drum'n'bass. |
| |
| . SOUR is dedicated to the expansion of the online and offline real world |
| scenes. With more listeners enjoying what they hear, clubs and venues can |
| only expect MORE people to attend events; DJ's can only expect MORE |
| people to pay to see THEM. |
| |
| By accident of today's current real world distribution arrangements, many |
| artists will find that SOUR releases IMPROVE their real world sales; |
| especially for items only on vinyl. This is the basis upon which SOUR |
| operates. |
