UK Hardcore Compilation CDs

Hello guys,

I'm always looking through youtube for early-90's UK Hardcore tunes, especially the 92-93 stuff were it was just starting to become jungle, getting basslines etc. Only a fraction of it is available on digital formats. However, I'd guess quite a few compilation CDs were released with this sound back in the day, which have not made their way on digital. Are there any? I'm especially looking for tunes by Rufige Cru, Foul Play etc, but ninjas here probably know this music better than me, so if you know any sick UK Hardcore CDs, recommend em regardless. The ideal would be a compilation with FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE - DROWNING IN HER on it. If that exists, I'm a happy happy chap.

:w:

From memory such a high volume of 92 stuff was on obscure labels and no one was thinking big enough to do licensing etc... by 93 labels like Subbase, Moving Shadow, Reinforced had sorted distribution deals so there is a lot more out there from 93 onwards.

Here is some I remember being worth picking up from around that time:

Darkside Hardcore

more on the hardcore side.
http://www.discogs.com/Various-Happines ... aster/3090

comp of early reinforced stuff
http://www.discogs.com/Various-The-Defi ... ase/315434

94 but has some foul play and tunes that were big at jungle and hardcore raves
http://www.discogs.com/Various-Renegade ... ster/15475

again 94 but has some 93 stuff on
http://www.discogs.com/Various-Drum-Bas ... ease/97955

If you thinking of getting to mix its worth considering that a lot of the stuff on compilations arnt the full 12" versions and have some criminal fade outs.

Fuck. Not even getting to mix really, but early fade-outs can eat a bag of dicks. Really hope Drowning in her isn't faded out in that compilation Topman posted.

the version on that compilation is time stamped at 5:36 and according to youtube the original 12" was 6:00, so you wont be far off. :4:
