The Offenders - Died In Custody

Following on from yesterdays post here is the second release by The Offenders. During the early to mid 80s US hardcore explosion this Austin group was well known not only in Texas but also abroad recording 2 albums and several singles, not to mention their numerous compilation appearances. Included on the Died In Custody collection is their long out of print "Endless Struggle" album and 2 song 7" recorded for the now defunkt Rabid Cat label. There's also a 1983 demo that pre dates their "We Must Rebel" LP, several early live tracks from Raul's in 1980, as well as part of an interview conducted by Tim Yohannan for the Maximum Rock n Roll Radio show.

The Offenders - We Must Rebel

Here's the first album from The Offenders (I'll post up the other one tomorrow). Hailing from Austin, Texas they are one of the most under appreciated hardcore bands from the early 80s. Mikey (R.I.P.) went on to play bass on the first MDC album and after that, Sister Double Happiness. If you're a fan of 80s US hardcore then this is a must have :) There is a full discography for The Offenders on the superb Kill From The Heart site. The files are in 192kbps mp3 format and there is a lyric sheet included with the download.

Oria - Totem (D&B Mix)

This drum & bass mix was put together by an old friend and frequent DJ partner of mine. This is coming straight from the warmer shores of Cyprus where Oria now lives (lucky bastard ;) As well as bringing you the latest drum & bass and liquid funk mixes Oria also helps with www.breakbeatcyprus.com. This site was launched in February 2010 with the sole aim of promoting what, in Cyprus at least, can be simply termed as 'alternative electronic dance music' such as Drum & Bass, 'Breaks', Dubstep and Trip-Hop.

Here's what Oria had to say about the Totem mix...
I put this 1hr selection together to round off the year after having a bit of a DnB lull since the summer. Most of these vinyl releases I picked up in September/November 2010 so it's mostly quite recent stuff and then straight forward mixing on my trusty Technics 1210s. I quite like the flow on this mix and maybe even less wobbles than previous efforts ;) Anyway music talks for itself so enjoy and please share any comments with me if you listened :)

The file can be streamed or downloaded below...

Derek And Clive Live

I got a request for this album so here it is. Derek and Clive is a double act of comedic characters created by Dudley Moore (Derek) and Peter Cook (Clive) in the 1970s. The characters are supposedly two lavatory attendants and are appallingly foul-mouthed extensions of their earlier characters Pete and Dud. Pretty much every 'sketch' is highly offensive and usually consist of the drunken pair swearing at each other. If words like fuck and shit offend you or you can't cope with what is pretty low-brow comedy then you're not going to like this so you have been warned. Derek and Clive Live was their first album which was released in 1976. You can get their second album, Come Again on this blog by clicking here. They also released a third album which you can get from somewhere else ;)

I chose today for this post as it would've been my best mate's birthday (45th I think) and Derek & Clive is a quite appropriate choice really. So tonight I'll be raising a glass or seven to the memory of Eric Equality. Cheers dood, it was a pleasure. In fact if you're feeling generous why not make a donation by choosing one (or all) of his favourite charities below.

DJ Switch - Under Mi Dub Mix

Well I hope you had a nice christmas and new year and let's start off 2011 with a big ol' reggae mix. This one is from DJ Switch and was recorded in November 2010. It has a mixture of old and new stuff from people like Lee 'Scratch' Perry, The Clash and Barrington Levy. It's mainly reggae but there's also a little bit of ska, dub and dubstep thrown in for good measure. The download is all in one big 320kbps mp3 file. I haven't got the tracklisting but it starts with Bankrobber by The Clash, then a bit of Aswad and continues on from there :)
