I was recently at an antique shop yet again, this time in Montclair NJ.  I was in town for the wonderful pizza shop "Ah Pizz"
and while I was there I found this antique shop with Strictly Rhythm records on the outside.  Unfortunatly I already had them
so I looked at what they had on the inside.  I found some classic house records that I didn't have and I also found possibly
the most creepy and legendary DNB record ever, "Blackout" by Todd Terry.  I still can't believe Todd Terry made this, he is known
for uplifting house, and this is the most depressing tech step DNB I've ever heard in my life.  It's possibly even more creepy
because it was played while I was going out to these partys all the time.  Why is that creepy you say?  Well because the drug
of choice at the time (I never partook in this) was Animal Tranquilizer, what the kids called Special K.  It made them litterally
black out and sit along the walls with their head in their laps.  When I hear this song I think of those kids all high on
animal tranquilizer, blacked out...  That asside, its a nice tech step tune.

So I thought I'd have a go at making something random with my early neurofunk techstep records which I have plenty of.  I didn't
pick these records in advance, I thought it would make the mix sound more exciting.  That it probably did however I didn't know
some of these records with the recycled cardboard sleaves would have been a problem.  The two Cause 4 Concern reocrds and the
DJ Red record I picked (I didn't use C4C003) were in less then steller shape.  The recycled cardboard paper pressed into the vinyl
which made the grooves dirty.  I didn't have time to clean them with wood glue so I did my best with groove glide.  In the future
I'm buying white inner sleaves on Amazon and I'll treat the records with wood glue at that time.  I'll also be sure to leave a
review on Discogs blasting DJ Red and C4C for not including white inner sleaves because thats why this happened.

I think this came out really nice and that DJ Red record, track wise, was better then I remembered.  That TeeBee "Let Go" record I
completely forgot about, I think it samples some Jodice RNB slow jam, it sounds terrific!  That K (Polar) record I had also
just found at an antique shop, It's decent for what it is.  The star here for me is Dillinja "Ultrasonic Sound".  I heard that on a
Dieselboy (or maybe now hes Dubstepboy...) CD and I was so taken by it, I bought the 12" myself.  I don't like the modern
Dillinja stuff as its sounds so crap compaired to his 1993 era stuff, but this track is just such a fun tune, I'll give him a pass
for this.
