About this item

Early UK hardcore gold from House Crew stalwarts Floyd Dyce and MC Juice.

The missing jewel in Dyce’s Production House crown, this sole FZ outing was released on one of a handful of short-lived Production House sub-labels that served as platforms for Dyce’s prodigious output, and can now take its rightful place alongside his other production and writing credits with the likes of Acen, The House Crew, Brothers Grimm, DMS and Baby D.

Despite recent speculation and curious confirmations of an association with the pivotal Production House from those close to the source, the identity of those behind this mysteriously initialled 1991 breakbeat hardcore banger has remained a closely guarded secret for over thirty years.  Despite not having a follow-up and not benefitting from the hype of big name credentials to justify inflated asking prices it has remained in high demand for over three decades as a constant in informed record bags and on discerning wantlists. It will come as little surprise to many then to find out that it is in fact the work of none other than House Crew stalwarts Floyd Dyce and MC Juice. 

Available once again on 12” black vinyl and licensed with the full-cooperation of Dyce himself it has been faithfully remastered from the original studio source material with the lacquer cut by Beau Thomas.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Absolutely huge hardcore bomb from the embryonic age (1991) that samples Nitzer Ebb's "Muscle and Hate". Everything we came to expect from the genre laid out early in all its glory. Darkside business that'd go onto inform jungle's development and constructed by a producer that would play a huge part in the UK rave scene. A real slice of history and an essential piece of the hardcore jigaw.
