Underground Fossils was an indie rap focused blog run by myself (Dimxsk) and by Trylemma, who passed August 3rd, 2024 from liver failure of unknown origin at the age of 34. We mostly posted week or twice weekly, the bulk of which were rare rips we made, found on old blogs, he acquired through his insanely broad connection to the scene, etc. We did all we could to make sure we didn't post stuff that (1) You could still reasonably buy from the artist directly, (2) You could reasonably buy secondhand for cheap, (3) You could download easily elsewhere, (4) The artist(s) asked us not to for any reason. Being involved in this blog was some of the most fun I ever had, even if at times it was time consuming, challenging or intimidating (having a readership). It was the product of one of the best friendships I've ever had. If I could say one last thing, it's to encourage all of you: if you have the time and desire, make your own UGF. Find a friend who loves this shit like you do and build it together. It will bring you incredible joy, enhance your connection to this amazing community, and change your life in unexpected and exciting ways. I know it did mine. Love you all!

Today's post is an old compilation from the late great Hue Records entitled "Virtual DJ Set For Virtual Night." I don't know much about this release, so any further info on it would be appreciated. What I can say is that it's a nice little collection of tracks from artists who shared Hue distribution in the 2000s. 

There's nothing exclusive on the project, but it's hard to ignore the melodic nostalgic feels of a Hue compilation! Furthermore, the last track on the project, Virtue's (now F. Virtue) "Superhero Blues" (featuring Nolto) isn't available anywhere online that I could find. The track is borrowed from Virtue's debut album "Growing Pains." That great album is long lost (I have the physical CD version which I'll try to rip at some point - in addition to Nolto it features the likes of Sims of Doomtree and The Dirty Sample) but "Virtual DJ Set For Virtual Night" at least gives us a sample (and it's a good one as the track is the best off either project imo.)

I always loved Hue Records and the work they did. Last I heard, Shin was releasing folk projects in Japan? Peep the compilation below!
