Legendary hard New York digital roots tunes from 1990-92. Originally released via Superpower on the Justice and Diamond Music labels.

NEW NAME MUZIK 7" 45 RPM
BE-004 - ANDREW BEES - LIFE IN THE GHETTO 7"
BE-005 - ANDREW BEES - STRUGGLE & STRIVE 7"
Straight from Maxfield Avenue, 1989, Castro Brown's New Name Muzik outfit produced some of the best of the first wave of digital roots. Here are a couple of their finest outings. Andrew Bees has two of his finest tunes in "Struggle & Strive" and "Life in the Ghetto", both re-released here for the first time ever. These stand right beside his classic "Militant" on Music Lion as early classics of the emerging style.
14K-7-001 - Sluggy - Too Chatty Chatty 14K-7-002 - Mikey General - Your Sound a Loafter (previously unreleased, circa 1989!) 14K-7-003 - Sluggy - Another One Bites The Dust
After a long break, Goldshop is back with some digital heat for the summer. While DKR has been busy issuing the best early 80's productions from Mikey 'Karat' Jarrett's catalog, Goldshop continues their campaign of bringing you the best of '80s digital dancehall from New York producers, and mines these gems from the 14 Karat catalog. One of our all time favorite NY artists, there are two great Sluggy tunes on killer digital stepper style riddims, circa 1989/1990. These were only ever released on 12-inches on the Flynn & Flynn label in NYC. Add to those, a wicked soundboy tune from Mikey General, circa the same period. This one is on a rugged hip-hop influenced digital lick of the skylarking riddim with killer bass, and is previously unreleased, and unheard until now. Only the finest in 14 Karats from the Goldshop!
Just what we like to see, something old as something new. Producer Clive Chin digs in the vaults and pulls out one killer unreleased cut to one of his best rhythms, and then hits us with the rest of the cuts and two new voicings! Awesome version excursion!
