J-tek "Records" Thread
Just in case people weren't aware, J-Tek aren't the only ones pushing the '92 - '94 sound at the moment. Labels that might go down well if you like these mixes are (particularly the first three or four):
Nu Basement (check out tracks like "Bass Driver" and "Colonies") - http://www.nu-basement.co.uk/
DATA Audio / 2 Fresh (check out tracks like "Malice In Wonderland", "Close Encounters", "Devil Inside" and "Thru The Wormhole") - http://www.2freshonline.co.uk/
Firewall (check out tracks like "On & On") - http://www.firewallrecords.com/
Good Gosh (new 140ish bpm jungle style tune from Suburban Base legend Rachel Wallace on the next release) - http://www.myspace.com/djsike
Hardcore Projektz (check out tracks like "Soundbwoy") - http://www.hardcore-projektz.com/
Hardcore Will Never Die (loads of dark '93 and '94 style stuff) - http://www.hardcorewillneverdie.com/onwax.html
There are loads of other labels as well going from dark to jungle to breaks to pianos. Scene news and shops at:

Tiny bit of critique, please don't slate me 
When I first read the PR text for the label a few months ago I got very excited, but after hearing all the tracks on the myspace player today I can't help but feel that this is just a copy of early hardcore. The idea of bridging the gap between 140bpm and 160 is great but I feel that there are so much more roads to be discovered then copying old 2Bad Mice, Foul Play, Top Buzz, Slipmatt etc.
Don't take this as negative critique, but with an artist roster like J-Tek I feel it can be musically much more then it is right now
