Dub Culture – Herb
I’ll admit that I have been neglecting my role on here a bit, with the lack of posts & that, but I should be more active in contributing content on here from now on. So let’s start off with a bit of background on this tune: it features on a wicked little CD compilation release…
The Man With No Name – VIP
To be frank with you, I actually don’t know that much about the background of this tune. It’s exclusively on the unmixed disc of the VIP Champagne Bash album & I can only assume based on the style & corresponding artist name that it’s produced by the same artist that made the Follow The Leader…
T.H.C. – Sunshine (Jo Remix)
Having realised that it has been a while since I contributed to this place, I looked through my recent CD purchases to see what good tunes (that wouldn’t get the blog removed) I could post. This one was a good shout because it takes the original hardcore Roy Ayers sampling track by T.H.C. (Slipmatt &…
Dub Technicians – Incognito (Rollers Mix)
So for a change from all the dark/ragga roughneck amen jungle that usually feature in my posts (much to Pete’s disappointment), I thought it’d be good to post something from the “intelligent” end of the jungle spectrum. What I have picked is a fond favourite of mine, a tune by Dub Technicians aka A-Sides &…
Natural Mystic – Mash Up
For those who may not know this about me, I am a massive Digital fan. I’d probably put him in my top 5 of producers, he’s managed to retain a style & quality in his tracks since he began up until now, whilst keeping up with the changing times. He’s also got a staggering workrate,…
Uncle 22 – Free
Strictly Hardcore compilations are a goldmine for excellent hardcore/jungle tunes. These comps save you having to dig through the entire back catalogue of Strictly Underground to find the killers – not like that an unpleasant chore, as it’s a solid label, but there is a lot of music to go through. These comps also offer…
DJ Dextrous – Nice ‘N’ Slow
Always been a big fan of Dextrous, the way he manages to create a fine balance between jazz/funk inspired melodies & synthlines and ruff ragga vocals & basslines in his tunes, second to none pretty much. But this one is more leaning to the full on deeper side, starting off with a big rare groove…
DJ Rap – Digable Bass (Heaven Remix)
Here’s a remix by DJ Rap and Voyager (plus supposedly an uncredited contribution by Lennie De Ice) of a tune originally written by Rap and Aston for her Proper Talent label. While the original of “Digable Bass” is already great, this remix really builds it up to new heights. A lush half-tempo intro leads into…
Mad Dog – Secret Garden
So about this track: it’s a 1993 dark/mellow amen one, produced by Mad Dog a.k.a Shaun O’ Hara and Dave Wallace, who went on to become a member of famous trio Aquasky. But before that, him and Shaun were putting out tunes like My God, Fugitive (under the Fugitive alias), Rumbled, Control International and many…
