Eyedlmode - S/T EP


Eyedlmode was a duo from the Bay comprised of J Def and Rymskeme.
They only released 2 tapes, both in '95: the Fogville album (already posted by Jibs over here, much thanks to him) and this 5-track EP which offers 2 tracks already on the album, one remix and two unreleased tracks including the great "Headsets".
As far as I know all cassette copies from Fogville are hand-dubbed whereas on this EP the tapes are professionally duplicated and have a better sound quality.

If not already done you should absolutely listen to both releases. They got a specific laid back vibe that kind of reminds me of The Nonce, sort of. I play them a lot when I need something to chill to.

Rymskeme also have a demo tape out there that you can find on youtube. If anybody got a proper rip of this or a copy to sell, holla.

Average Joe - S/T


One I've been looking for for a long time: Joe Dub's forgotten solo album as Average Joe (do not mistaken with Average Joe 2000 'Man Or Myth' released years later on Highground).
Like the cover says, it's from 96, and unlike the cover says it's not technically a SFSM album even though some other members appear here and there. 
There's a "Humble Foot" logo on the side but it seems to be more a label thing? and not the other hard to find Joe Dub cassette EP (the third one being White Gangster).

Enjoy!

The Basics - Success And You


The Basics were a duo from San Jose comprised of MC Dem One and DJ Worldwise, both of them were featured on the SJ comp I posted a while ago, "Outerbodied".
This EP from 1999 is kind of laidback with some nice instrumental/scratching tracks on each side. Style Misia from Gypsy Cab/ New Moon/ etc. produced most of it. DJ Sonic makes an apparition.
Don't know if they released something else as The Basics. Dem One released a batch of solo releases ever since. Worth checking!
