Missed in 2003.

The following I tried desperately hard to track down this year but failed. I haven't heard Rat Race, but the others are all absolutely frigging amazing. And the bad news with the Grime is that the chance of finding them in the future is practically zero, though I heard a rumour (direct from one of Wiley's entourage) that upon the release of the LP they're going to reissue all his back catalogue. Place your orders folks!

Harry Toddler: Donkey Kick
Sharkie Major: It Ain't A Game
Danny Weed: Rat Race
Matthew Johnson: Typerope

Typerope is without a doubt one of my top five tracks this year. If you liked Isolee you HAVE to hear this.

Typerope was re-pressed not long ago. As far as I know it's still available, though probably not on the original clear vinyl.

Though this may be old news, this tune gets absolutely caned by most major micro-whatever dj's, including Hawtin and Mike Shannon.

let me know if you find "it ain't a game," will you? can't find it myself.

yeah i wonder if it got a release proper. i do remember (at least one person) saying he had a copy. is this just internet hype? i did hear it on the radio...

maybe the problem is that the Sharkie record's real title is 'So Many Days'? (when i say maybe i mean i don't know)
