Mystery Track #4

Number Four in this series off mystery tunes I taped off of the pirates in the early nineteen-nineties -  my nickname for this one is "Feel Dis Bassline". Taped off Function FM in 1993, or possibly early '94.

Answers, suggestions, clues, guesses - all welcome!

^^^^^^^^^^

Mystery Trax series is gonna take a little pause now as I am called away on urgent and upsetting business, but will resume in a couple of weeks - when hopefully i will find SOMETHING to flummox JJ and Droid

although i am v.v happy to get IDs on all so far - indeed that's the whole point of the exercise, so why i would want to flummox the old skool skolars I'm not really sure....

Mystery Track #3

Third in the series of mystery tracks off pirate tapes -  track I call "Rough Ride" on account of the words "sounds of the rough ride" or something to that effect, although I've never been able to work out if that voice is on the record itself or a second MC. Taped off Don FM in early '93.

Answers, suggestions, clues, guesses - all welcome!

Mystery Trax - the series begins

Over the next month or so I'm going to be posting clips of "mystery trax" - tunes caught on pirate radio tapes recorded in the early Nineties that I have never managed to identify. Now, in some cases 24 years on from the moment of capture, I ask for your help in identifying these elusive gems.

Here's the first one - what I have come to call "Get Busy Busy Busy". Answers, suggestions, clues, guesses - all welcome!
