What can I say about this event – it’s all round one of the best competitions you could wish to attend.
EFC Grenoble – Challenge Mondial
A great competition with a good number of entries and high standard of fencing – just prepare for any eventuality and a small amount of chaos.
EFC Bonn – Tank und Rast Pokal
I’ve not got many positives to say about this competition, and I’d probably rank it as the worst organisationally that we went to over the years.
EFC Klagenfurt – Trofeo Dario Codarin
Despite the travel hassles, this is well worth the effort. Klagenfurt is a picturesque city and the competition venue ranks among the best of the best.
EFC Geneve
The standard was very high with most of the entries coming from France, Italy and Switzerland.
EFC Budapest – Budapest Cup
The first EFC cadet event that we ever went to and in my opinion, this is by far and away the best of them all.
East Side Posse – UK Old Skool Hip Hop
Many, many years ago (well, about 22 I think) I got myself a copy of this tape made by a group calling themselves East Side Posse. It’s been sat in my stash unplayed for many years now but whilst having a bit of spring clean today I discovered it once more. A quick search on […]
Obscure UK Old Skool Hardcore – The Final List
Hetzer on discogs suggested, “Computing a *relative* Score = Wanted By/Owned By, i.e. the higher this score is the more obscure is the release.” might throw up a nice list of obscure tunes … and he’s not wrong! So that’s the final list of ‘wanted’ tunes I’m going to run off. I’ll try and think […]
It’s Time For Some Electro
As promised in this post, here are some more scans of the classic Electro Rock pages from The Street Scene magazine. You can now check out up to issue 5 in glorious high-resolution on my flickr. If you like your old skool electro, be sure to check out the Electro Nation weekly podcast. They also have a new live […]
Not On Label – The 100 Most Wanted
spa5tik0lonz on the UK Oldskool Hardcore discogs forum suggested it might be nice to see some really obscure wants. I’m always up for a suggestion. So, below are the 100 most wanted releases that are ‘Not On Label’. Some real obscurities in amongst this lot! # ID Artist Title Owned By / Wanted By 1. 104564 Global […]
Top 10’S … Old Skool Formats Analysed
Welcome to the next in my series of postings about the most wanted UK old skool hardcore releases. Here are the top 10’s for the other more obscure formats (who buys their hardcore on 7″!!) ordered by most wanted. Some interesting nuggets come to light here, like the ‘Waves Of Extinction (Hardcore Rebellion)’ by Orca […]
Electro Talk – The Street Scene Magazine 1985
Way back in the mid 80’s it was a hard to get info on the latest electro & hip hop releases. Blues & Soul was probably the choice but then Morgan Khan played a blinder with the release of The Street Scene in November 1985. Sadly it only lasted for 25 issues, and every one […]
One Night That Changed My Life
Staurday 24th July 1993Rollerbury, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk Despite being into the music long before the summer of 1993, up until this night I’d only really been to small gatherings and house parties. Quite odd looking back …. but that’s how it was and I won’t claim anything different. Thinking about it now, I don’t […]
The Most Wanted Records On discogs.com
A couple of months ago in amongst a bundle of mixed old skool, I picked up a copy of #1 by Format on ESP Records from 1991. I looked it up on discogs and 99 members wanted that tune. Which got me thinking … what is the most wanted slice of dance vinyl (according to discogs)? Once […]
