Here’s a fun track I put in my mix for beantownboogiedown last year… despite the fast tempo and presence of breaks, “Digital Fish” is sort of a techno/hardcore/jungle hybrid, “jungle techno” without sounding that similar to Ron Wells/Basement Records stuff (though that’s what I’m most tempted to mix it with). Produced by Nick Power (who…

Manix – “Living in the Past” album preorder
Wow, just…. wow…. thanks to Law @ Drumtrip for pointing me to this on twitter. New Manix album in an oldskool style… including a vinyl picture disc version which is quite affordable (12 pounds including CD AND digital). Pick this up and support one of the originators and best artists in oldskool (just ordered my…
Sub Love – Maniac Music
Wow, I can’t believe I’ve gone 5 years writing this blog without posting about Sub Love… I think I’ve been subconsciously holding off just so I’d have something special to post on a rainy day. Well today looks pretty miserable out, so I guess now is as good a time as any! Sub Love was…
Darkman – I’m Gonna Get You
I went to post this and noticed I’ve already posted two other Darkman tracks before – his earlier record on Rinse Out right before this, and a tune by an unrelated artist on Sapho (great sparse 92 weirdness). This one is a 95 monster though, though it was released in 96 according to discogs. Most…
Blog to the Oldskool Radio – September 8 2013
Last Sundays show was pretty good in my opinion.. combining deep and atmospheric 93-95 tracks with bits of darkside and a 20 minute amen rinse out at the end. People in the chat seemed to enjoy it and stuck around, it didn’t get deathly quiet like it does for some 91-92 shows I do so…
Donovan Badboy Smith – Obsession (Yolk Remix)
OK, back to tunes which I want to post because they’re actually good 🙂 This tune involves two of my favorite oldskool DJs of that era: Donovan Badboy Smith and Yolk (DJ Milf). Smith was a resident at a lot of the big raves of that era (including Obsession, which this tune might be named…
ASC – Dreadlox
Here’s the extremely difficult to listen to track I mentioned recently… ASC’s “Dreadlox” on Bass Sphere. To be clear, this record is NOT by the leftfield + atmo dnb producer of the same name, though I know that producer was into oldskool back in these times.. rather, I think this EP was done as a…
Mr Sav’s Jungle Techno and Gramophone Record Radio Show
Normally I don’t really post mixes here unless they’re specially done for the blog, but here’s a fun one I’ve enjoying lately. Thanks to Nebbers for pointing me to this and Mr Sav for making it! For those more, erm, oldskool of you online oldskool anoraks (mailing list / geocities / angelfire type site days),…
Woohoo!
Finally made it to 1000! Stay tuned to the FB page for a special treat posted there this weekend. I could probably try to code some premium content as an “app” page where you’re forced to like it, but… nah… can’t be bothered, so I’m putting you all on the honor system 🙂 I know…
Blog to the Oldskool Radio – August 25th, 2013 (1992-1993)
Here’s the jungletrain radio show from two weeks ago… I forgot to press record when it was on the air, so I’ve kept the records around in a crate meaning to rerecord it in some form. It’s almost time for the next radio show so I finally gave it a quick try last night, leaving…
