[VEESTER]

Yes! I loved Joi Cardwell's stuff on the label like "Trouble" and "Jump For Joi"!

[Moksha]

"Sister, Sister"
"Sax in the Ozone"
Tiny Bubbles-- "The Hands of a Raindrop"

[Moksha]

Their hip-hop label (I forget the name) was pretty good, too.

[GROOVE VICTIM]

Lem Springsteen's "Moody Black Keys" EP on Empire State was pretty nice.

I always loved Joi Cardwell's "Good Bye".

Wall of Sound "Critical", "Run to Me", "I need your Love" and "Penetration"

DJ Smash "It's nice to have money"

Child of Slan "Always say Ever"

Jorio Group "It's so right"


Peace

Bill Ware and Jay Rodriguez "Crepescule"

One of my favorite songs from the Eightball label is 'Work the groove',(I cannot remember the artist right now), Very nice instrumental joint from around 1994/95.

wow, this thread is bringing back some great memories.

I'd have 2 agree . The Critical record was the dopest. Still play that often.
And then there was the other Mood II Swing EP...just instrumentals...can't remember the name though.

My fave Joi Cardwell record was the "So here it is, 4 am,...."

Louie Balo used to so some slammin stuff for them too. Remember the "Boogie Balo" EPs?


After Kevin Williams left for Nervous, they never regained their step.

[Master Kev]

"Trouble" Joi Cardwell
"GoodBye" Joi Cardwell
"You Got To Pray" Joi Cardwell
"Critical" Wall Of Sound

[sammyrock]

Sazon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dammmmmmmm long time no see or talk..how are you mi hermano? yes that louie balo EP is slammin as well.keep em coming peeps."I cant let you go"(The Mack Vibe feat.Jaqualine),"The Differance"(Lectroluv)/Re-Mixes,"Appeciate" (Jaqaline),"The Spiritual EP"(The Funky Fusion Band) this Ep is just magnificent!!!... smile.gif

[Oak Pk, IL's Best Bedroom DJ, serge]

Wasn't the "New Breed" label an offshoot of the Eightball label as well?

[Mark Gurney]

My personal favourite on Eightball was Transphonix 'The Deep End' (E9202) followed by -
Lectroluv 'Deeply Different' (EB48)
Wall Of Sound '8 Ways To Knock Down A Wall' (EB008)
Wall Of Sound 'Critical' (EB014)
The Funky Fusion Band 'Halleleijah' (EB026)
Lectroluv 'Higher' (E9201)
Miss Joi Cardwell 'Goodbye (R & B mix)' (E9206)
African Dreams 'Jazz Impressions' (EB030)

[Andrew Osborne]

I think you're right Serge. Geez, now I have to dig out the New Breed stuff in addition to Eightball.

Mike Barnes Yes, exactly. I always forget that the project is called Sonic Boom Society. "Help Me Lord" by Sonic Boom Society is also tight.

Peace.
