I really try not to post much “new” stuff but I think this warrants sharing. Thumbzo has been kind of an “unsung hero” for online hc/jungle for a long while now – doing great mixes of 92-96 style stuff (plus some house/techno sets) with really nice, solid, listenable selections. Nothing obscure-for-the-sake-of-obscure, nothing anthem bashy, just…

DJ Cherokee – Headstrong
Here’s a nice never-before-released tune from 92 which I saw posted a few places (b2vos, discogs)… definitely worth nabbing while it’s available. Originally the artist wanted to do a limited vinyl press, unfortunately I don’t think the demand was what he wanted. As mentioned in the last post, 92 stuff doesn’t seem to be as…
Greylox – Call the Cops
When it comes to various oldskool styles 90-2000, it’s no secret that 1994-97 stuff has been getting a lot more shine these days. It used to be 92 was all the rage, then darkside seemed kind of trendy for a bit, now anything atmospheric / vibey is the one. That’s not to take away from…
Tim Reaper – Blog to the Oldskool Radio Set, Feb 22nd 2015
Tim Reaper killed it on BTTO Radio yesterday! Really nice show, lots of classy tunes, both well known and lesser known.
The Winstons Amen Brother Donation Gesture
Recently, someone posted a several year old interview with the singer of the Winstons regarding the “amen break”, from a BBC radio show.
new 8205 website & ltd US copies of “Dread Killer EP”
Just a quick heads up that I threw together a new website for 8205 Recordings: http://8205.blogtotheoldskool.com The site is pretty boring/basic, but it has all the important info for the label. I’ll be adding a “news” section soon, as well as whatever other relevant info I can think of. The other news is that, if…
Chalke – Resurrection
OK, been a bit slack on the individual tune posts so here’s an absolute c-l-a-s-s-i-c to make up for it. This is a one-off EP made famous by Bukem playing it in one of his Best Yaman tapes Hardcore vol 11. The flipside was also in a previous Yaman tape (Hardcore Vol 9), but I…
Persian Prince, Bizzy B & D-Lux – The Lost DATs Volume 1
Finally get to spill the beans about a really cool release done by Persian Prince, who I’ve posted about before here and here due to a number of wicked singles he did back in the day. For this EP, Persian Prince has tracked down some classic long-lost tunes on DAT, and pressed them in a…
Blog to the Oldskool Radio Feb 8th 2015: 1993-1996 Jungle
Really fun show last night, thanks to everyone who locked in! Always good to have people in the chatroom keeping it lively, also got some nice requests made which fit the show well. Apologies for not getting to the PFM one on, I found out my copy of “wash over me” is pretty nasty sounding…
FBD Project – Terminate / The Core Official Repress
More new release / bandcamp greatness…. it looks like Neil Trix is repressing “The Core” soon!! Def worth nabbing as the original is quite hard to find (there’s a black vinyl copy which is a bit cheaper but has been confirmed by Neil to be a bootleg) and these are two of the most essential…
