The Junglist – Aliens Pt. 1
Here’s a jungle tune from 94 which sounds more like something from 1992… super low fi choppy breaks + heavy heavy bass. I’m not sure if this is by the same “The Junglist” as on F Project, as the production doesn’t really sound that similar. The Junglist – JSI001 B2
Atomik – Battle of the Satelittes
Here’s another big catchy 92 style tune, but from 93. Atomik did a number of great singles, including a six track EP I’ve been getting a fair bit of play from recently and an earlier 3 track EP which is also pretty nice. The label which released this (Strong Island) is also pretty underrated, having…

Happy Halloween! Mystical Units – Positively Evil (Original Mix)
Terrorize – Clap Your Hands
Speaking of “overlooked tunes on well-rinsed EPs”, here’s an oft-missed song by Terrorize. Their tune “It’s just a Feeling” was a huge huge track that was basically a 92 mix of “Playing with Knives”: You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video It was released numerous times on different labels (Hamster,…
Orca – Jungle Vibes
Despite getting back into buying vinyl pretty heavily the past month or so, I haven’t been that excited to post any particular track(s) as of late. This tune changed my mind though – since it’s a great example of a slept-on B side on an otherwise well known release. So, I’m guessing most people know…
Industrial – Renegade (Remix)
OK feeling a bit better, so let me try this writeup again… here’s another good release on Kinetix, the label which did the Outrageous – Tech Kore” EP I already posted. Most releases on kinetix were more technoey, however these two had their own catalog numbers (KX versus KINT), so maybe they were meant to…
M.A.N.I.C. – I’m Coming Hardcore
Diverging from the obscurities for a bit of a classic here, though one a bit less known by name than your average Sub Base / Shadow hits M.A.N.I.C. did some great 91-93 singles, including earlier slower material like the “concept ep”, through the great “feel it / dreamer” EP which has got to be one…
Captain Codseyes – Headache
Captain Codseyes – Headache
The Beat Mash Crew – Favorite Cuts
Here’s a track to contrast “In Complete Darkness” which I posted a few days ago… not much in the way of big catchy melodies here, just great mad choppy breaks and sparse samples dropped on top. The scratching bit should sound familiar, as it’s the intro to Tango’s absolutely massive / essential / massively essential…
