I don’t know how many of you heard Luke Vibert’s UK Hardcore Hiphop 88-92 mix that Planet Mu Records posted a couple months ago, but it’s a great mix full of lots of britcore faves – tracks by Silver Bullet, Gunshot, Blade, etc. Recently, Vibert dug up an extended version of this mix, and passed…

Bill & Ted – Feel That Groove
Here’s a jungle single which seems pretty rare: right now I’m the only person listed as having it on discogs. I don’t know much about it, other than the artist behind it did one more single on the same label. The vocals and music are both a bit corny, but it’s got nice layered breaks…
Liquid Aliens – Are You Sure We’ll Be OK?
Liquid Wax is a relatively underrated label in my opinion. Everyone knows “never try the hippodrome” (at least I hope they do), but a lot of their later tracks are relatively obscure. I guess it makes sense since most of these later tracks aren’t as “anthemy” as hippodrome, but they are great very well produced…
Nicolette – Wicked Mathematics (Instrumental)
Here’s a single I see for sale pretty much constantly but never cared for… this is mostly due to the vocals on the A side which I absolutely can’t stand. However, I found it yet again last weekend, and decided to give the b side a listen – without the singing on top, this track…
Universe Tribal Gathering 1993
Ramski – Dream of Horns
Here’s a bit of a strange track. It was released in 95 on the Boom Tunes label, which put out some decent choppy jungle releases. The other side of this EP is pretty good 95-style jungle, with a fair number of changeups and timestretched vocals and breaks.. but nothing which particularly stands out to me.…
Floor Filler – Forgotten
Here’s a nice easy to find EP on Sound Entity. It’s got the classic “Basement Records” sound to it (which makes sense since it was engineered by Ron Wells), mixed with some early intelligent Lucky Spin sounding drums and melodies. Floor Filler – Forgotten
Auto-plex – Rebel Call
Here’s a nice EP I’ve had sitting in the pile for quite a while. The tracks are pretty varied in sound, with this tune containing the most memorable melody. Overall though, some of the production on this EP sounds a bit dated for 1993. No idea about the artists other than their names (Ian and…
DJ Skie – Whistlin’ In the Jungle
My DJ set on Thursday was tons of fun. Elements has been the main DNB night in Boston for years now, and the only one running consistently for 11 years (I’ve been going there off and on since the beginning). I got to play an hour of 92-93 and then drop some crazy 94-95 stuff…
v/a “Malcolm X” EP
I haven’t posted any random US stuff in a while, so here’s a Belgian single with some US oldskool tracks on it. The first side is taken up by several mixes of the track “the truth”, which is OK but nothing mindblowing. If I remember it right, it has a bunch of Malcolm X samples,…
