Any time I flake on posting on this site for an extended period of time (more than 5 days or so), I try to post a personal fav or something a bit special when I pick it up again. Hopefully this tune counts; in my opinion, it’s one of the better hidden gems as far…

Tim Reaper + Dev/Null – Eckhart (free download)
I usually don’t post “new oldskool” on here (new tracks made in an oldskool style), since there’s other blogs which cover thaose quite nicely: Future Jungle and Strictly Nuskool to name two wicked ones. However, here’s a fun track which Tim Reaper wrote in a few hours Friday (during the late afternoon US time /…
Mystical – Try So Hard
It’s kind of dreary day today here, so here’s a tune to match…. as played in Sunday’s 94-95 radio show, it’s a 94 deep and dreary track by Mystical. I’ve got no idea who Mystical was. but I’ve got a bunch of records by him on Stooge Productions, so I assume he was an associate…
Blog to the Oldskool Radio – June 1st, 2014
Here’s the recording of Sunday’s show on Jungletrain…. I had just done a more varied show two days before so I kept this one pretty low key, deep and vibey (94-95 stuff). Then, with 30 minutes left, I threw in a bunch of more tearout amen tracks. Thanks to everyone who locked in! By request…

For anybody who missed my set Friday afternoon/evening (eg the vast majority of you :)), here it is in the Radio Frontline Archive.
L.S. Diezel & Launch Dat – Rougher Than A Lion
In case hardcore hip hop isn’t your bag (per yesterday’s post), here’s a favorite hardcore tune I found thanks to an ID which Nebkins got for an Easygroove mix… Yet again, Dennis Easygroove coming through with the absolutely wicked obscure selection. Lots of DJs were digging back then but it’s especially amazing what sort of…
Johnny MC – Uno Get Ruff (early UK Hip Hop)
It’s been a while since I posted a tune, so here’s something a little special and different – a rare and in-demand UK hardcore hiphop track from around 1989. This was first brought to my attention by Luke Vibert who also featured it in his Classic Hardcore UK Hip Hop Mix posted here years ago.…

To celebrate the official release of 8205-001 today, Dave DJ Trax (aka one half of Mixrace) has put together a wicked mix of some of the classic tunes he and Dev wrote together in the 1992-1996 period, including some special re-edits and unreleased versions never before heard.

Blog to the Oldskool Radio – May 19th 2014
Here’s my set from Sunday… played lots of serious jungle in this show, typical obscurity/big tune, laidback/tearout mixture. Things might get a bit ropey towards the end as I was rushing around trying to grab stuff to play, hopefully still sounds OK though. Enjoy!
