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!

Symbolic Fantasm - Foot in the Door (2000)



What is this? Can anyone tell me? I got it as a replacement for a CDr I ordered that hadn't withstood the ravages of time. It's exactly the type of release we concentrate on here at UGF, totally forgotten, mostly or totally unknown, but strangely interesting and worth preserving in digital form for the ages.

I have it on good authority (Discogs) that Symbolic Fantasm is Orbit and Snail with Thunkone on cuts and EOS on production. They are apparently from Sydney, Australia (thanks Jamie!). Foot in the Door is DIY sample based turntablist hip hop music. Garage grade mixing as well, but I happen to like this one.

Foot in the Door grew on me, it's a strange little disc and definitely worth a listen.

Hope you enjoy, and peace until next week!

      Awesome man thank you! My copy of this has changed hands a few times now, the guy I got it from didn't know any more than I do about it.
