2XDef -First & Last EP

Shop favourites Fundamental Frequencies, responsible for the great "Telepathic Fish" compilation Are back digging in early britcore / rap territory with two rare britcore / rap twelves. 2XDef's "First and Last" sits almost in breaky-rave crossover territory, which makes a lot of sense. They literally don't make 'em like this anymore. 

From the label:

"First & Last is the debut outing of MC D alongside his partner in rhyme Audio MC. Fresh-faced schoolboy scions of Hijack, The Demon Boyz and Silver Bullet, and peers of the likes of Gunshot, Hardnoise and The Criminal Minds, the pair were taken under the wing of The Powerlords as part of the Powerpack crew (alongside Construction and Trouble), and were given the moniker 2XDEF. Brought to the attention of South London’s fledgling dance label Mendoza Records by producer DJ Fusion, this release would mark the the beginning of a longterm creative partnership between him and MC D, with Mendoza label-mate CSP called in for remix duties. Gritty, explosive and raw, the record stalled at the white label stage with only a handful distributed to radio and club DJs, earning it the status of underground classic. First & Last became exactly that for the short-lived crew."
