these two:

'Tis a shame.  Buckfunk is Si Begg at his funkiest!  The "In Is In/
PlanetShockFutureRock" 12" was superb!

Eh, this kinda failed to impress me.  Then again, any artist whom I've
enjoyed seems to put out substandard releases on this label. (Khan,
Kerosene, etc).  Odd.

Wonderful, if you like silly!  Tops the Trash complications even for
cheese.  Fun fun fun!

Got his recent 12" on Under 5's (though the copyright goes to Skint, oddly
enough?  Plus it says "promo only", though I bought it from a legit
shop...BentCrayon).  "Network Southeast Vol. One".  Fun samples, over a
more hyper (for him) techno beat.  Hard for me to explain, but it seems
quite good.  Anybody have any insight as to this 12"?  (In regards to why
it says "Skint", "Promo Only", and "Vol. One"...more to come?  From him?)

Oh-yeah, and his recent mix of Super_Collider is funky fun.  Then again,
everything from Super_Collider is funky fun!  :)
