Pressurehead – London

Here's a little story to upset anyone with this record in their wantlist (including myself when I ed it!).

A few years back I was at a house party, having an impromptu back to back mix with a friend. One of those ones where you end up digging out records you don't usually play, to fit with the other person (which is always the most fun) - and in this case, my friend pulled out a white label of this very release.

But he had no idea what it was. The only reason he had it was he saw Pressurehead at I think Drop The Bomb, went up to ask an ID when it was played, and was given the copy that had just been on the decks!

Even at the time I was deeply jealous, a feeling which now only grows just as the prices do...

I would still rate "London" as one of the finest hardcore tracks of all time. From the forboding intro ("the underground is coming alive!") to the melancholy break in the middle, it's just perfect. Although I do also love "Lungs Of Steel", especially the middle breakdown, which samples the bells from DJ Hype "I Can't Understand It", but slower right down for extra darkness.

Immense, Immense, Immense. These guys were amazing, got to see them at a DJ comp in Rhyl where they took all their hip hop skills and blew everyone out of the water with scratching up insane hardcore(I was also in the comp, never stood a chance!!)
This EP has it all, melody, drill core beats, crazy sounds, human beat boxes, there is nothing they wont use to make the tracks sound better and more unique. Every track is a stone cold killer and each one so different from the other.
Stats say this EP has sold for €150 and currently one for sale for €250. I have a copy and even those insane prices wouldn't make me part with it!!

AWESOME VINYL
DARK AND SPEED HARDCORE FROM UNDERGROUND with a so melodious sample.

narcotic,toxic,dirty.the urban answer to the "main" bitches that wants to make core not hard.all track of this ep is an underground sampler for the fanatics gabba or,better,for those who know that gabba is not simply a state of mind,but a way of life.absolute masterpiece...
