BSBR013 - 1307 EP

Those early Syko & Mak EPs were just the beginning. Each EP had a story, a memory that takes me back to the birth of hardcore and the jungle movement; euphoric emotions flooding back every time I hear them tracks again. This double EP is a recognition of the Syko & Mak era and those who used to come to the shops just to hang out and listen to the latest white labels...

BSBR010 - ORIGINS

Celebrating the Old Skool and the New, this EP will take you on a journey through time; revisiting some of the origins of drum and bass. We start by breathing new life into original tracks from the “DJ Syko - Be Alright EP Candidate Records (CAT004)”; re-mastering and re-engineering these 1994 classics.

BSBR009 - 2021 PIANISM REMIX EP

The Pianism EP was originally produced by Rob Haigh in 1993 under the alias ‘Splice’ on PM Recordings (Parliament Music) PMT 015 - Pianism E.P (Enter The Light). This original vinyl cut in 1993 had seven original piano breaks, as Rob described these were meant to be for DJ use. Strangely no one ever sampled these and made a new tune !? (Or at least we can’t find one!) We hope you enjoy the remixes by Tim Reaper, Ron Wells, Law & Wheeler and Justice...

BSBR008 - RELEASE YOURSELF

Reissue and clean up of CAT003. Content we’d nailed the EP we had a few TPs pressed; sending them out to a handful of influential DJs and promoters from back in the day. I remember being in a club and hearing a track that sounded a lot like ‘Release Yourself’, only at a slower tempo. The thing was, the DJ who’d got hold of the TP (sorry can’t remember who?!) was a house DJ. He was playing it at 33 rather than 45. Still sounded good as a House track though!!...

BSBR005 - MURDA EP

It's early 1992, and we'd just created our first track using nothing more than a 4 track sequencer loaded onto an Amiga plugged into a crude 8-bit sampler. That track was "Rock Ya Body". At that time I worked part time in Rob Haigh's Parliament Music Record shops and had got to know him well...

who are we..?

Blueskinbadger Records started by Mike Badger back in 2018, a lover and collector of vinyl dating back to the 90's. Mike started the business as a crate digging service, travelling all around the world to dig for rare and hard to get vinyl. Clients range from the man on the street, the bedroom DJ, Radio DJ, Event DJ's and right up to anonymous millionaires! that don't have time to shop (good job we do !). The dream was to always have a label and record shop, so Mike decided to go and do a few pop up shops in and around Hertfordshire, to sell the records from the crate digging trips. The label was a natural progression from this and Mike contacted a few friends from back in the day to see if they wanted to dust off the Amiga and bring out some records again. Syko from Syko and Mak was all over it ! and they managed to secure a stall at Clashmouth (a Drum & Bass independent label market) to launch the first release and the rest is history. Moving forward we plan to bring some new remixes of old tunes and also some fresh remixes of new stuff. Thanks to all that have supported us and continue to follow what we do.

"The Independent Record Store is the reason why I STILL do music...It seems like they're the only ones that Really care about the real music lovers...we need them...they're our balance to all of the music we are FORCED to listen to...they're the only ones that may still suggest something NEW and FRESH instead of just what's popular." ~ DJ Jazzy Jeff
