Here’s a crazy dark jungle track I meant to post yesterday… apparently quite pricey these days too (copy for 100 pounds on discogs right now). Sky Joose did some great records on ibiza related labels, Slam! and well as Jet Star… this is one of the two Jet Star EPs he did. Not too much…

Nick Power – Born to Jam
For people deep in the UK rave scene as it was going down, Nick Power was probably best known as the guy who ran Music Power record shop. Aside from that though, he did quite a few EPs under various guises, a number of which are in demand / classic tracks. Less die-hard collectors might…
Menace Makes 3 – Feel the Friction on My Feet
Been slack for a few days now so here’s a banger to make up for it… super catchy poppy stuff from Menace Makes 3 (aka Dylan Rhymes). This tune is in line with the other big Menace Make 3 tunes “Do you feel What I’m Feeling” and “Pure Hysteria”. Certainly not the most experimental or…
Blog to the Oldskool Radio – November 7th
Here’s the set for jungletrain this last Wednesday, November 7th. I think it turned out to be a pretty well rounded selection of stuff from the blog ( click through on the tracklisting to get to the tunes), augmented with vinyl and a few curveballs tracks (someone mentioned a grime track in chat so I…
Orca – Untitled (Force Ten 006)
Here’s a random unlabeled release by Orca on Force Ten. It’s got a bit of the trademark lucky spin sound of the time atmospheric-wise, but with maybe a bit steppier breaks than usual plus the added bonus of some tough ragga vocals dropping in throughout the track. Definitely one of the less known tracks by…
Psychic Parasite – Re-Animator EP
I’m a big fan of Biochip C’s breakbeat stuff, as evidenced by the number of great tunes I’ve already posted by him in various guises. This is one of my favorite EPs by him, a strong 5 tracker where EVERY track is a killer. Not sure how it would fit into uk stuff at the…
Da Dread – Subconscious Fears
Well, that was a nice vacation from posting… time to start chucking tunes up again though! Be sure to check the site next few days, I’m going to try to post a fair bit of stuff. First up, a nice 93 track all about the drum programming/processing. Amens get pitched up and down, doubled up,…
Blog to the Oldskool Radio October 24th: Halloween Darkside Special
In honor of halloween, here’s the darkside set I did on my radio show last Wednesday. I was hoping to get a chance to rerecord this and get it really nice sounding for today, but I’ve been crazy busy as of late. Also, listening back it’s not that bad aside from overall level inconsistency and…
DSC – Kara Vajda (In Da Jungle)
Here’s an interesting weird record I ripped for a friend yesterday. It’s not listed on discogs though there’s a CD comp it’s featured on. This EP was an attempt at fusing bhangra with jungle… kind of interesting if only for the genre combo and what sounds like a sample of this track: DSC – Kara…
E.O.V. – Give It Up
Amen fans, today is your day… some serious 1995 choppy jungle here! No idea who wrote this EP, however I played the b side of this on one of my last jungletrain radio shows. that side is a great track for mixing, with a drop full of absurd pitched amen snare rolls that sound absolutey…
