The second release on Amen Brother sees the return of another old school legend that only released one EP and vanished for the next 28 years! Lee X-Plode put out a self-funded EP in 1992 on a white label that became highly sort after in the vinyl collecting world, with copies changing hands for up […]
DJH was 15 when he wrote his first EP back in 1993. That EP became a near mythic release within the hardcore vinyl collecting circles with a price tag of over £700 on Discogs! Vinyl Fanatiks tracked down Danny and organised its re-release back in 2019, with the release selling out rapidly. Now DJH is […]
“We met in Toronto in 1992” Lynnford tells me as he explains the origins of Liquid Aliens “I was over there as part of Rufige Kru, pretending to play the keyboards while Goldie was on stage dancing. It was a bit embarrassing pretending to play, but it was our first live show, and you have […]

Me and Shaun O’Hara go way back… 1993 to be exact. I was at college and a girl on my photography class had moved into a new shared house in Charminster, Bournemouth, 116 Avon Road to be precise. She knew I was into my music and collecting records. She was also a bit of a […]
Utomica ‘Rok A Bye’ – its one of those holy grails that people were always asking me for. “It would be great if you could make this one happen” the emails and messages would say, and these messages were regular, not just from one super keen person, but from many people. It became a quest […]
Originally released on a self funded white label, 1993. At the start of the 1980’s X-Plode’s dad had a second-hand colour TV business in Bolton, Lancashire where he would buy, sell, repair and trade TVs.

“By 1994 I was concentrating on jungle. I thought I was over the old school and wanted to move forward. But I always loved the piano’s from the past, so I wanted to try something different with my jungle. I didn’t want to make something dark. I did it under Norty But Nice as I […]
