Since Tim’s going to have the 95/96 stuff covered nicely for a bit, here’s another 92 white label ripper… this time more of an in-demand one which has always been a bit pricey/hard to nab, though I was finally able to score it earlier this year on-the-reasonable. Detromental did a number of other whitelabels which…

PHP – Iree
Here’s a pretty obscure fun ragga hardcore EP I nabbed a while ago… I’d never heard it in mixes but found it while grabbing a couple other records from someone online. Honestly I could see how it might not be for everyone as it’s not a super polished hardcore tune or full of crazy samples……
Oscar Da Grouch – Some Where
Here’s an interesting US jungle track from 1996, by N2O-affiliated LA jungle producer Oscar DA Grouch. Despite being from 96, this tune sounds much more like a 92-93 tune to me, with extra raw sound and the most bare bones of samples. The other tracks on this EP are more in-line with jungle circa its…
Jungle invading this blog….
I’ve gone ahead and added Tim Reaper as a contributor to the blog… please stand by for way too many 94-95 amen tunes posted by someone who was possibly not born yet when these tunes were released.
“All Black” Jungle Fever Documentary
Here’s a nice jungle documentary for you all. I don’t think I’ve posted this one before, it’s got SOUR, Renk, Bukem, Trace, plenty of artists + labels in it…
DJ Infinity & Back to Basics – People of Paradise
I got caught up watching a Robocop marathon Saturday, which made me start searching for a particular tune I remembered that sampled it… turned out to be this one. In my mind, there’s three basic “cheat codes” to winning classic hardcore/jungle: 1. Sample Predator 2. Sample Aliens or 3. Sample Robocop. This track uses the…
OG Pirate Radio Dons
Out to ImaginaryForces for this one, be sure to catch his show on Rude FM Friday August 30.
Blog to the Oldskool Radio – August 11th, 2013
Here’s the full 2 hour set from yesterday… some fun nerdy darkside and more subdued choppy stuff in here. Chat room was lively for the first half of the show, shout outs to Tim Reaper (of course), Recoil, Timewarp, Ombrios, GeorgeoftheJungle, Thumbzo, Havoc (or was it N-Flow?), and everyone else who tuned in. Blog to…
Language – Renegade (the Energy Mix)
I haven’t posted much bleeps-n-bass stuff on this blog, here’s a personal favorite that I think applies… a great early track from 1990 with just about all the elements common in later tracks (deep subby bass, bleepy synths, chopped ragga vocals, pianos, rolling breakbeats), just at a slower tempo. The label which put this out…
Unreleased DJ DLux tunes
A year or two ago I hit up DJ DLux (Brain Records Crew back in the day, now a DJ on Deja Vu since years) and he mentioned having some unreleased tunes kicking around still… looks like he ripped them from DAT recently and posted them on his soundcloud! What’s more, they all have download…
