The House Crew just posted a few wicked videos on facebook of a show they played in Canada in 1993. Wicked stuff! It’s great how early Toronto seemed to adopt hardcore/jungle, probably why the Jungle scene itself went on to be so utterly huge there. For more information about that early scene there, feel free…

Radio Frontline Set – Aug 3rd 2014
Here’s what was meant to roughly be my set from Radio Frontline on Sunday. Unfortunately, Mixlr seemed to have a site-wide outage right around the time the show started… checking a number of stations it seemed to be affecting all of them, at least for me and everyone else I asked. Service was restored about…
Original DJ Vibes – Grown In the Jungle
Here’s a great 94 jungle track by Original DJ Vibes, certainly one of the more underrated and prolific oldskool producers out there. Producing from the early 92 hardcore days (those first few EPs are quite crucial in my view), up through the 96 era, Original DJ Vibes (maybe named such due to the more happy…
KVA002 – Klute aka Supertouch Unreleased 93-94 EP
Great news from Will from Sublogic Recordings regarding an EP he’s putting out which is well worth supporting (I already ordered my copy!). Hello all! I’m proud to announce the next release on Keeping Vinyl Alive… Supertouch – The Dreams EP – KVA002 Much like the KVA001 release back in 2013, this is another highly…
Ross Phenallas – Aboriginal
I may be slacking on tune posts lately, but when I do post them I mean business… this tune is a personal favorite discovery of mine from recent time: totally underappreciated / unknown 91-92 style bleepy acidy breakbeat stuff. What makes this tune for me is the combination of aforementioned sounds with sinister pads, weird…
Blog to the Oldskool Radio – July 6th 2014
Here’s the set from Radio Frontline on Sunday. Two set posts in a row, yikes… need to get back to posting more tunes! This is a fun one though, chock full of stuff which is overooked but not too too obscure (plenty of tracks on decent sized labels etc). Starting with a few 92 dark…
Blog to the Oldskool Radio – June 30th 2014 (92 Not-On-Label Special)
Here’s Sunday’s Jungletrain set. For this show, I ended up playing all not-on-label 92 tracks, with a few at the end which may have been from 93-94 (but definitely sound 92 style). There’s a pretty deep selections here – definitely plenty of bigger well known whitelabels as well, but a few that even the most…
E-Mense – Sweet Sex
Here’s a 92 track I’ve never heard anyone talk about / haven’t heard in mixes, but which was on my wants list for years. It wasn’t a top want so I wasn’t heavily digging for it, but I never really saw copies for sale either. Sort of one of those smaller tunes which seemed to…
Kristine W – Feel What You Want (Jungle Remix)
Here’s a tune I’ve had stuck in my head for some time now, and consider a pretty fun remix. It keeps things pretty stripped down and tasteful beat-wise, leaving the original tune’s vocals and synths to take prominence in the track (as they should). That being said, the tune being remixed here is essentially euro-house,…
Steve C + Monita – “Razor’s Edge 2014” & SKELP1
Just a heads up, a classic Skeleton Recordings tune “Razor’s Edge” is getting a series of 2014 reworks and is being released both digitally and on vinyl. The original is a stone cold classic, as posted here before being made for sale on hardcorejunglism etc. Here we get a number of remixes on the digital,…
