Another track from that Easygroove mix, this is an EP I totally forgot was in that mix and picked up purely on the merits of another track called “Scrambled”. Here’s a writeup I did on discogs for this record: An excellent, obscure but cheap & easy to find 4 tracker. “Scrambled” is one of the…

Vice Squad – On the Edge
Here’s another “wicked but inexplicably goes for next to nothing” record. It’s by Darren J & Micky Finn, with production by Bay B Kane. Absolutely nasty Bay B Kane style bass and breaks in this. If you like it, head over to discogs where apparently someone is selling a copy for 1 pound (!) Vice…
DJ Odi in Boston Friday Jan 23rd 09
Short notice, but since someone once asked where this music goes on in Boston, and it usually doesn’t, I want to mention that DJ ODI is playing an oldschool NASA rave set tommorow night at The Good Life downtown, along w/ DJ Caezar (former 94 Konkrete Jungle resident).
Naughty Naughty vol 1
This entry is dedicated to a certain other blog which recently reposted my rip of the Asterix EP and TNT – Last Sucker Drops, but with no mention of this site and with the the URL and art removed from the mp3s, replaced with info and art for their own website… Naughty Naughty!! 😉 Regardless…
Freestyle & DJR – Madness
Another essential track from the 92-93 NYE Easygroove mix, this time the first track in the mix. This record, along with Ten44/Raw, is one of the most in-demand and pricey records on the Awesome Records label (which I believe was run by Slipmatt + Lime), and when I finally scored this for a reasonable price,…
Subject 13 – Mash It Up DJ
Although he started releasing records back in 1990, this is from Subject 13’s first record which I would class as full-on hardcore jungle. It’s a quality straightforward ragga hardcore number: no crazy edits, ridiculous synth parts or any such surprises… just solid chunky beats, pianos, well sequenced vocals, and plenty of BASS. Subject 13 –…
Demo & Poet – PCP EP
I mentioned in the comments section that I’d start posting some of my favorite tracks from that Easygroove mix… here’s one of my favorites, and one of the more pricey records I’ve ever bought. Demo + Poet’s PCP EP even gives Parliament Records releases a run for their money in terms of glorious rawness. The…
Citizen Kaned – Set Me Free
I’m pretty sure I originally bought this EP based on the strength of the artist name… really, how can you go wrong with CITIZEN KANED? In this case you can’t (and don’t), as long as you’re a fan of lovingly assembled 91/92 style euphoric hands-in-the-air tracks. The production and track structure are rock solid on…
Welcome DSP!
Up until now,all posts on this blog (barring one by Will Sublogic) have been by me, Pete. That’s about to change – there’s a new author on this blog. On top of having an excellent collection (I’ve bought tunes off him before) and deep knowledge, DSP also makes wicked jungle tracks himself.
DD Hass & Extensive – Out of Africa
Some more “lesser known tracks by an artist known for one big tune”. In this case it’s DD Hass & Extensive, known best for Hi Tech Muuusic. This single came out a year later and has some great tracks on it. Pretty similar musical elemnts to “hi tech muuusic”, same bass sound etc, but the…
