Here’s a weird EP I don’t see mentioned much… it’s on the New York label “Death Records” which otherwise focused on 4/4 hardcore and techno stuff (ala Industrial Strength). In fact, this EP is probably more “breakbeat techno” than it is breakbeat hardcore style – there’s breakbeats in it but the structure is much more…

French Jungle Documentary
Don’t think I’ve ever seen this before… in French but since it’s filmed in the UK most of the dialogue is spoken in English with subtitles.
March 2012 mix reposted on Soundcloud
In case anyone didn’t check the mix I did around this time last year, it’s been rehosted on Soundcloud thanks to Soundcloud’s newer more generous “unlimited” audio accounts. The mix features 91-93 stuff, with some nerdy obscurities but nothing obscure-for-the-sake-of-obscure.
Blog to the Oldskool Radio March 24th, 2013
Here’s Sunday’s show… I had to rerecord it because there were more server hickups (or possibly issues with my connection) that caused 3-4 dropouts. I definitely need to sort the problems out before next show, it kind of killed the flow over an otherwise smooth running set. For this show, I mostly played records I…
Persian Prince – Desertism
Here’s a nice track I nabbed recently by Persian Prince, which I actually bought from Persian Prince (he has a number of his old releases for sale on discogs in unplayed condition no less). It’s always great to be able to buy copies of a record from the original artist, knowing the cash is going…
Blog to the Oldskool Radio March 10th, 2013
Here’s a re-recorded version of last Sunday’s Blog to the Oldskool Radio show on http://jungletrain.net. It was originally 2 hours long, but due to some server issues, the stream cut out a bunch of times. Rather than trying to stitch together a bunch of partial sets including random spinbacks / track startovers, I decided to…
Icons – Stop – Go – Celebrate
This is possibly the strangest oldskool track I’ve ever posted, and that’s saying a fair amount. The artist behind this (Icons) is not to be confused with the UK early atmospheric / jazzy dnb Icons (aka Blame and Justice), or Icon (a Bay B Kane alias). Rather, it’s a group from Germany who I think…
Cool Hand Flex – Out Of Control
I’ve had Hashim’s “Primrose Path” stuck in my head lately, so here’s a hardcore tune that samples it… Cool Hand Flex’s “Out of Control”. Flex and co were really killing it around the time of this release. This tune might be a bit slow for 93 (sounds a bit more like 92), but it’s heavy…
Wait, what??
M.A.D. – Drum Dance
Here’s a longtime favorite, not particularly hard to find or pricey but I can’t say I’ve ever heard it played. M.A.D. (Mental and Dangerous) did a lot of EPs spread over a few labels, including M.A.D. (his own label), Direct Force, Renk, and a nice jungle remix on Greensleeves. Some of his tunes are more…
