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.

Adam F – Circles (Remix)
Circles itself needs no introduction being one of the seminal jungle/drum and bass tracks from the 90’s. This remix however is the ultra rare one sided etched promo copy released exclusively on Section 5 Records in limited numbers. Reportedly only sent to key dnb djs and with limited distribution in record shops this retails at a hefty
