Big up Cybotron (DNBA) for this one. Classic '92 business

DJ Lenny Dee Feat. Stevie Hyper D - Sterns (Interdance) [1992]

Here is the video:

Second Acts are often the toughest because the first act has to be pretty good to merit a follow-up. Then the comparisons are unavoidable. The sequel is rarely better than the original for this reason, expectations, and often the follow up is just misunderstood. "Speed Limit 140 BPM+ Two: More Sounds Of London Hardcore Techno" suffered a bit from this as the often forgotten sequel of breakbeat techno and Hardcore from Moonshine Records.

However Speed Limit 2 is really just different. It reflects old school breakbeat's destiny to transform into Jungle and later Drum and Bass. The happy playfulness of the first volume is still alive, yet it's sound is darker, the breaks are often twisted into more creative beats and the bass lines are starting to sound deep and brooding. It has less sped up samples and there are less of the catchy piano lines we love so much because the scene itself had changed and its sound did as well.

There are early Pre-Drum and Bass efforts on here from Goldie and DJ Aphrodite to name a few, plus a few Pre-Jungle songs by D.M.S. and Potential Bad Boy that sound pretty damn close to Jungle Proper. It's also the last release by LA based Moonshine to be released concurrently in the UK. From here on out, the rest of the series was bringing the sounds of the UK scene to a US market in retrospect, which gave them a less cutting edge feel (and they were often pretty far behind the curve).

While I did purchase this compilation, I lost it before it made any impact on me. It was one of my best friends that reintroduced me to it years later when we were raving it up in high school. Even then, the comparisons to the first comp, and the fifth were undeniable and it was treated as a lesser but fun little album from the early rave days of long ago (which, lol, was only like 3 years). 

I will never forget rediscovering the album years later during my train trip of the American West, Mid-West and South. Tapes were still common so I brought a ton my old mixtapes for the hell of it. Hearing it with fresh ears helped me find a new appreciation for it.

So when it came to producing a follow up to my original Speed Limit 140+ BPM Mix-Mash, I quickly began working on volume 2. I knew many of the songs well and enjoyed rediscovering many of them for a third time. 

I have had this mix in the can for some time, yet I could not figure out what I would do for the video. Finally, I came to the conclusion that something trippy would be suffice. Which I will probably do in future volumes. Oh and to be clear, I do plan to do a few more of these, though they may not be sequential and I probably won't do them all. 

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this mix and mash-up and here is the track listing:

Metal Heads* -- Kemistry
EOAD -- Love's The Feeling

Doc Scott - Bang-in Tunes volume1

I used to play these tunes back in the day at Omalley's Hotel in Brougham Street Kings Cross, Sydney. The morning recovery parties were always more fun than the night before. With seated bean bags, hand delivered fruit platters and party friendly, just awesome! After hours of hearing tunes & catching up with friends over recovery beers, under Popeye, I would play these piano sets to a full crowd into the evening - those were the days. 

100% Vinyl Mix on 1210's. Recorded on Abelton Live and slightly pitched up. Full length mixes, no splice & dice or mega mixes.
