Here’s some tasty 95 ragga jungle from Sky Joose. Not much info available on this release, if you check the audio though you can hear that the beats in the other b-side tune sound quite similar to “Tales of Darkness”, so it’s most likely him. The elements here are pretty standard jungle – pads, dancehall…

DJ Senator & The Bagman – Tranqued
Here’s an interesting EP which took me a while to get fully into – it sounded promising when I heard it years ago, but when I finally got around to buying a copy, none of the tracks really resonated much and it kind of sat in the back of my collection. I just found it…
Nightclubbing at Metalheadz – RBMA Article
I don’t usually repost much stuff from other sites, but this is a must-read….I never got to go to this classic Metalheadz night, though I went to some other night they did a few years after this (can’t remember the club / lineup, though I remember Loxy playing and possibly a Reinforced related DJ headlining).…
Wraggy and The Riggler – I’ll Give My Love To You
Here’s a fun early breakbeat happy hardcore track from 94 – if it was written in 92 or 93 it would have just been considered a normal oldskool track. But since it came out in 94, at which point the split into jungle and hhc was much more palpable, it’s clear which side of that…
Super obscure proto-intelligent gem just for April 1st

Black Widow – The Stalk
Here’s a weird EP I don’t see mentioned much… it’s on the New York label “Death Records” which otherwise focused on 4/4 hardcore and techno stuff (ala Industrial Strength). In fact, this EP is probably more “breakbeat techno” than it is breakbeat hardcore style – there’s breakbeats in it but the structure is much more…
French Jungle Documentary
Don’t think I’ve ever seen this before… in French but since it’s filmed in the UK most of the dialogue is spoken in English with subtitles.
March 2012 mix reposted on Soundcloud
In case anyone didn’t check the mix I did around this time last year, it’s been rehosted on Soundcloud thanks to Soundcloud’s newer more generous “unlimited” audio accounts. The mix features 91-93 stuff, with some nerdy obscurities but nothing obscure-for-the-sake-of-obscure.
Persian Prince – Desertism
Here’s a nice track I nabbed recently by Persian Prince, which I actually bought from Persian Prince (he has a number of his old releases for sale on discogs in unplayed condition no less). It’s always great to be able to buy copies of a record from the original artist, knowing the cash is going…
Icons – Stop – Go – Celebrate
This is possibly the strangest oldskool track I’ve ever posted, and that’s saying a fair amount. The artist behind this (Icons) is not to be confused with the UK early atmospheric / jazzy dnb Icons (aka Blame and Justice), or Icon (a Bay B Kane alias). Rather, it’s a group from Germany who I think…
