ROM/INTO THE CLOUDS (counterflow)
I've waited for their GOOD album. Here it is.
SKETCHIE/ BLOOD AT WILLOW FOX GROVE (lumenessence)
I really like the stuff from this label kicks out, and I always check out everything. This is one of their best.
BLOCK HEAD/INSOMNIAC OLYMPICS (ninja tune)
This artist has been making tracks for AESOP. This is his first solo album.
HYMIE'S BASEMENT/S.T.(LEX)
I've recommended other records by the same crew on last 2 recommendation I've done. This one is the last shit they kicked out in 2003. Sooo cool!
PLUGE LANGUAGE/FAREWELL ARCHETY PES(off beat)
This one is from the German label, "off beat", by the crew including of NOAH23 from Canada.
There are so many crazy peeps around him!?
EQ/JOURNALS ARCHIVE 1(city massive)
The BADAWI label kicked out this album. It's more of a Hip Hop taste than the last one. Cool ethnic instrumental tracks
D,C,C/DCC AMERICA(tmu)
This was a big hit in '83. If you like RAMERGE, you'll be into it.
COUNTROLLER7/LEFT HANDED(--)
You could only get the CD of this album. Now you can get a re-press real record.
D-STYLE/BATTLE BREAKS(--)
You can't get such a nice, cool album as BATTLE BREAKS'. This album has cool tracks using stylings, or Japanese SHAKUHACHI.
MR. DIBBS/UGLY&PROUD3(shake it)
I useally check out all of his shit. He is one of the coolest turntablists.
MIA DOI TODD/DUB LAB remixes(PLUG RESE ARCH)
 

DJ TOME/SHORT~3isub stream)
This is a mix tape that was handed to people at a "sub stream" party in December. You'll feel like you're listening to one long story, and you'll find out how much he loves Hip Hop music. He doesn't need any category, and he doesn't need any rules to show how he feels.
