Underground Fossils is run by Dimxsk and often by Trylemma, who is on a hip hop spiritual journey in the Himalayas and may not be back for a bit. Posts are every Friday, usually some quality old sh*t but sometimes promotional posts or "reviews". We do all we can to make sure we don't post stuff that (1) You can still reasonably buy from the artist directly, (2) You can reasonably buy secondhand for cheap, (3) You can download easily elsewhere, (4) The artist(s) asks us not to for any reason. Rips will include our own personal rips, old scene rips, and random web rips.

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!
