About Haste

Music fan, recovering vinyl addict and curator of useless knowledge. When not around these parts I run RollDaBeats (rolldabeats.com) and 12 inch (12in.ch) as well as talking about all sorts of music on my own blog (mrhaste.com).

Swan-E – Satisfy My Love

One from the De Underground label that was associated with the shop of the same name in East London. There were hundreds of tunes that came out of here sprawled across a huge number of labels, many confusingly labelled with catalogue numbers that are impossible to follow.

E.P.S. Man – Shockout

I have no idea who E.P.S. Man is but Spotlight was a label that, I think, had something to do with Basement Records/Vinyl Distribution. A few of the other releases on here were by well known producers under pseudonyms so the the quality many of them is pretty high. It’s a label that’s not particularly

Darkman – String Of Darkness

Killer hardcore beats from DJ SS and EQ‘s alter ego Darkman from a couple of decades ago, 1992 to be precise. The standard formula is there: bouncing 4-4 beats, pitched up vocals (the same as used on Rufige Kru’s immense “Believe“) and the inevitable piano lick but this is more than just your average stomper. Taken from a
