Here’s a wicked 92 track, quite familiar sounding based on the samples but far from a known anthem. I first heard this EP off The DJ Yolk mix I posted some years ago, though the track played in that was a different one. It took me a while longer to notice this tune, now it’s…

Rainbow Country – It’s U
Here’s a classic I’ve had for ages and ages but totally forgot about. I think I may even have been looking for an ID on this track after buying it, unaware that it was sitting in my crates all along. For some reason, whenever I see it in my collection I think it’s a dodgy…
Bass Thieves – The Time is Now
This tune is a bit more straightahead and steppy than I usually go for in 95 tracks, but it’s well done and worth checking for sure. “Time is Now” uses the classic Lafayette Afro Rock Band – Darkest Light Horn snippet, as used previously in Dance Conspiracy – Dub War, and before that, by Public…
Overdog – Fuck You Up
I’ve played this track a few times on the radio show, but here it is in full form: a classic German hardcore tune showing the nice intersection of techno, acid and stompy hardcore with a slight breakbeat / uk nod. Not too removed from what Space Cube was doing at the time, stuff on Labworks,…
Subject 13 – Hip Hop Gangster
Here’s an excellent recent nab of mine which I’d never heard prior to buying. This EP might have eluded me until now since it’s from 1996 rather than 95. Even though 96/97 happens to be around when I started buying dnb/jungle, I’ve often steered clear of tracks from 96 when digging for oldskool since that’s…
The Feedback Principle – Tear Down The Place
Here’s a nice unknown-but-not-hard-to-find 92 tune I can’t recall seeing in many/any large mixes… mixmeisters, feel free to correct me on that. I discovered it recently while rooting around in my collection for overlooked 92-93 tracks to play on last Sunday’s show. The label it was released on, Rumour Records, is better known for compilations…
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…
Fuze – Fluctuations
Here’s a 95 jungle tune for fans of GLR / atmospheric / intelligent stuff. Nothing crazy or extreme going on here, just pleasant melodic pads, rolling breaks and female vocals. The label this is on (On-Line Recordings) put out a handful of other similar style tracks 95-97, all quite cheap and easy to find these…
Templa – In N Out Your Mind
Here’s a nice white label obscurity. Though supposedly from 1992, this track didn’t come out until the mid-noughts on the flip of a reissue of D’Livin “Why”. It’s actually worth tracking both the original of that EP down and the reissue, as the other tracks on the original are nice (not featured on the reissue),…
Abyss of Time – Deep Flowin
Here’s a dark German jungle tune from 1995 I took a chance on recently. I’ll admit I hadn’t really heard much about this label before getting this – based on the producer’s site and info on discogs, it seems Outlaw Records were based near Mannheim, part of the Milk! Club scene and started around 94…
