Continuing with the serious tuneage posts, here’s a favorite on the Vinyl Addiction label. Vinyl Addiction is one of those jungle record labels with just a handful of releases, but where every single one is worth tracking down and where each fetches a pretty high price. Certainly not bargain bin tunes here. Of the two…

Zeno Zip – Mind Games
Here’s a cool 92 one-shot release by a one-shot artist. Nothing too mad, just nice hooky samples bordering on novelty but still within reason for me, plus good changeups and solid production for a 92 one-off EP. If I remember right, this was on my wantlist for quite a few years, nowadays it seems a…
Devnull – BTTO Radio Sept 20th 2015 (Darkside)
Here’s my set from Sunday, rerecorded the next day after the show… I tried recording live but my machine froze up. It seemed to go into sleep mode during Tim’s set, and stopped recording 🙂 That sounds like a terrible joke at Tim’s expense, but I swear it’s true! (need to sort the sleep mode…
Redskins & Dan Man – Don’t Worry
I’ll be the first to admit that, when it comes to what I post on this site, things aren’t exactly weighted with regard to actual jungle history. Though basically all this music is from that era, and there’s lots of cool and interesting stuff here (I wouldn’t bother posting it otherwise!), these tracks are all…
Motiv-8 – Don’t Need Your Love (Slammin’ Piano Mix)
Here’s a happy hardcore remix by Red Alert + Mike Slammer, a bit later than their more well known earlier Slammin’ Vinyl releases. By the time this was released, happy hardcore as a sound had become more established, and as such the track construction is bit less metal and more in-line with the other popular…
Swift & Zinc – Other Side of the Moon
Here’s a personal favorite I’ve had for ages and ages, to the point I can’t even remember when and where I got it! I do remember it was in my first ever oldskool mix I recorded (alongside hyper-on, that cymbols of raveology tune and plenty of other stuff I’ve written about on this site) many…
Kismet – Get Up
Here’s an interesting extremely obscure breakbeat hardcore track I grabbed some years ago, based purely on how rare it seemed and the fact I couldn’t find any audio for it online. As usual with these sort of things, it didn’t turn out to be a top-secret huge classic / long lost unknown which countless people…
Devnull – BTTO Radio September 6th 2015
Here’s my set from Sunday, rerecorded because the mic chatter/shoutouts in the live version were bugging me (fun for live, not so fun for listening back to afterwards) Really happy with this one, there’s a bit of everything in it: 92-95 – some upfront 92/93 hardcore stuff into a bit of darker 93/94 stuff into…
Peanut Planet – Awakenings
I’m guessing at this point that my affinity for non-UK (international) hardcore/jungle has been pretty well established on this blog. Along those lines, here’s a nice track by Peanut Planet, the Swedish hardcore/jungle group featuring a young Seba among others. Early Peanut Planet stuff is pretty underrated and well worth investigating, if a bit inconsistent.…
Tim Reaper – BTTO Radio September 6th 2015
Here’s Tim’s set from this Sunday. Choice selection for sure – some laid back, some tear-out, some moody/darker tunes, and even a bit of happy hardcore!
