Chopped Herring: CHFOR3ST01 ft. Dark Forest

The final April release features DJ Panda and the Dark Forest crew from Queens, New York.

In 1992 DJ Panda and MC Shan wrote the famous track "Informer" later performed by the group "Snow". After Panda got the deserved credits and funds he invested in recording some tracks with the Dark Forest crew which consists of his brother, cousin, neighbors and friends.

In 1996 he pressed up 300 copies of "The Region/Shhh" 12inch on his own label Jusmik which got sold mostly to stores in Queens. Like most Hip Hop projects from the 90's, they ended up with a single release and that was it. 

Chopped Herring Records finally releases six songs from the crew including the 12" b-side track "Shhh!".

A1: Shhh! ft. Bobby Grey & Mr Skurge
A2: Garden of Evil ft. Fallen Angel & Sugar
A3: Hoods at Birth ft. Giovanni & Black Male
B1: Sunshowers ft. Bobby Grey, Mr Skurge K.O. & Johnny Dills
B2: Ready to Fight ft. Bobby Grey & One A.M.
B3: Wild Whiskey Winos ft. Bobby Grey, DJ Panda & Willy Styles

All tracks produced by DJ Panda




The "Save The Trees 96-97 EP is limited to 350 copies where the first 75 copies come on clear, white and green mixed coloured vinyl, the next 75 copies on black & green mixed coloured vinyl and the remaining 200 are on traditional black wax.
