Hard Disk

[Ornette]

Pretty certain we can call this as being MC Duke's label. Here's a link:

 

http://www.musicoflife.com/dukepage.htm

"From this Duke went onto produce music for labels like ?Shut Up and Dance? and ?Suburban Base? before launching his own labels ?Hard Disk? and Bluntly Speaking.? "

He's done tracks for SUAD? Anyone else aware of this? And Subbase????

"He then joined the Shut Up And Dance label and released two 12 inches with DJ Leader 1 under the name I.C.3.."

Oh, I see...

HD001

Is Etched DARREN. As well, E.K.U.D.C.M. (do you spot it???) is specified as artist name for the B Side. How about changing to:

 

"How Dark It Is (E.K.U.D.C.M. Remix)"

 

 

HD002

Actually says HARDDISK 2 on label, and has etchings HD002 on A side, and HD003 on B side...

 

 

HD003

Artist name is E.DUK.C.M. (yes, thats E.DUK.C.M. not E.K.U.D.C.M.)

 

Again, says HARDDISK 3 on label. Etchings are HD003 on both sides.

Great E.P. They don't make 'em like they used to, do they. 5 tracks for a ?5?

Take a listen to "On Dope" and "Kashif" if you get a chance

 

 

HD004

Don't have this one but its not too bad.

 

 

HD005

Artist name on this is The Darkest Knight - it's the E.P. that is called "A Duke Joint"

Pretty rubbish if you ask me

 

 

I'm quite confident that we can call all artists as aliases of MC Duke, but possiblly a couple are collaborative efforts with other people (for instance DJ Leader 1). I reckon the E.K.U.D.C.M./Double 'H' Productions substitution on first release certainly confirms it for the Double H alias, at least.

 

So, as well as giving us the excellent "I'm Riffin'" breakbeat, MC Duke has as well provided the scene with a number of quite excellent tracks, quite above the general standard of tunes of the time.

 

"Spread out and scatter!"

Ah god, what a headache!

 

Cheers for finding all that, though. Interesting to hear about the SUAD stuff and I have no idea what he made for Sub Base

#4 is definitely a 3 tracker - The Journey, The Darkest Knight & Serious

More about MC Duke

 

http://www.rolldabeats.com/artist/duke_and_leader_one

 

This alias should be split, and reassigned

 

Duke = http://www.rolldabeats.com/person/_mc_duke

Leader One = http://www.rolldabeats.com/person/_dj_leader_1

 

Or completely removed. We know I.C.3 is MC Duke & DJ Leader 1 anyway - no need to add the 'featuring' bit printed on the label really

 

- - - - -

 

http://www.rolldabeats.com/artist/man_with_no_name

 

This needs to be split. The HARDDISK2 tracks should be seperated away from the rest.

 

The remaining tracks should be credited to Man With No Name, where as the Hard Disk tracks should be credited to The Man With No Name

 

Man With No Name = Martin Freeland

The Man With No Name = MC Duke
