if into new skool - proper old-skool sounding ones with no big beat cliches
- check out these following brit hip hop labels:
breakin' bread:
http://www.breakinbread.org/
they have released quality 45's that've got this old b-boy feel. they are
all compiled on a cd BNB008 VARIOUS ARTISTS "THE DEADLY 7" SINS". having
all these 45's i can recommend. all of them are good, some excellent. the
two best being THE LIMP TWINS: LIVING WELL PARTS 1 & 2 and COLOR CLIMAX:
PLUG IT IN.
puma strut:

quality stuff also, quite of a sme style than breakin' bread. all releases
on 45's so far. BOBBY BOUCHER: BUBBLE BUST and OMID/TOPOLOGY CREW split 45's
are the best, methinks.
check also out
http://www.tru-thoughts.co.uk/artists/quantic.html
for quantic's excellent SUPER 8 PARTS 1 & 2.
these ones pop into my mind first.
peace out,
