NSC is National Sound Corporation, a pressing plant in Detroit that's been central to the city's music industry for decades. I believe they were pressing Motown records back in the day, and a lot of the P-Funk material was pressed there. They noticed the techno explosion, and the main guy there (forgot his name) gave Mad Mike and Jeff Mills the idea for doing locked grooves - "I can't help but notice that a lot of this music you guys are pressing these days is a bit... repetitive...", he said, tactfully, and suggested that he cut a record so one beat just loops indefinitely. UR were impressed, and from then on they used NSC to do all those weird inside-to-out pressings and stuff like that.
Eventually NSC decided to launch an imprint of sorts, and a few records came out under it. The Silicon track on the EP you mentioned below is Heath Brunner's best, I reckon, and I often play it if I'm spinning booty or ghetto tech. And I'd say that the Rob Hood track is probably *less* minimal than a lot of his other track - there's some latin percussion in there besides the standard 909, and a voice that sounds to me like it's saying "latté!"...
