This is from the “Rewind Records” album released on Rephlex in 2003 to promote the Rewind Records record label. This song really picks up at about 2:20
(note the version of Badman in the playlist is a lot shorter than the one in the “Rewind Records (Full Album) video”)

Todd Osborn, also known as Soundmurderer ran the first Drum & Bass record store in the Detroit area, as the ex-owner of the legendary Dubplate Pressure shop. His obsessions with drum and bass led to him setting up his own label Rewind record label.
Under the name Osborn he has recorded jacking techno and classic house for Ghostly International records, coincidentally once on the flip side to one of one of our stalwart artists, DMX Krew.
He also recently released “Wired for Sound”, an incredible dj mix of old skool Jungle called “The best jungle mix ever” by Simon Reynolds for Kid 606’s Violent Turd records.
He has also recently done a mix of Rephlex/Tigerbeat6 artist The Bug’s “whowanseelwar” with SK-1 for Tigerbeat 6. Todd was also listed in influential US magazine XLR8R’s top 100 ones to watch for 2003.
SK-1 is one of the aliases of Tadd Mullinx, an Ann Arbor resident who also records abstract instrumental hip hop as Dabrye for Prefuse 73’s Eastern Developments label and has had releases as Dabrye, James Cotton and under his own name for Ghostly International.
His album Instrmntl was lauded with much praise and was a Gilles Peterson favorite and he was selected in 2001 by Carl Craig to perform at the Detroit Electronic Music festival.
Rephlex have been following the development of Rewind for some time and offered to help them gain more exposure by releasing this exclusive 12” as well as a CD compilation of their best releases so far to follow on the 3rd of November.
The Rewind label has been gaining a steady fanbase in the US, Toronto and Japan as leaders of a wave of American junglists obsessed with the development of the original ruffneck ragga and frenetic breakbeat sound.
The tracks are a mix of dancehall, sound clash energy and hip-hop influences with a dose of the kind of staggering, mind blowing drum programming only artists of the caliber of Squarepusher and Afx are capable of at their best, we’ve really caught a live one here!!
A Session on John Peel’s world famous radio one radio show will happen mid November, featuring a sound clash between Soundmurderer and the Bug, another of Rephlex’s astonishing new artists. This will be followed by a Rave in The London club called Fabric.
The single is an exclusive Rephlex only release and features 2 darkcore tracks that break away from the style of the rest of the album.
You will be astounded.
