Here’s the first record on the ragga jungle label Slam! records. It’s no secret that as pricey as some oldskool jungle is, if you chuck some some toasting samples on top and make sure the track has amens in it, a bunch of north american kidds in camo pants will materialize out of nowhere and…

Dillinja – Untitled EP (Tough Toonz TT002)
I’m sure you all know about Dillinja, so no explanation needed this time. His early 93 singles on this label and Cybotron are some of his best stuff in my opinion, mostly narsty amen tracks. This one is no exception, combining the aforementined beats with classic moody pads ala 93/94 plus some diabolical hoover business…
DJ Overload – Live at Elements 06.21.2012 Mix
Really happy to get to post this… here’s a recording of probably the most fun I’ve had at a party this year! DJ Overload is an absolute legend of the East Coast US rave scene. He’s part of a VERY small and select crew of DJs who were actually pushing UK breakbeat hardcore from the…
Timeline (free 92-97 tribute comp)
OK, even though I don’t post many new releases, time to catch up with some really worthy cool ones which I’ve seen as of late…. I should probably apologize to the guy who put this out about not posting this earlier, I actually got sent some of these with the OK to post a track…
DJ Producer’s Bogwoppa/Dance Bass mix
Wicked mix here by DJ Producer of tracks on Bogwoppa/Dance Bass. As his description puts it Bogwoppa is pretty top notch when it comes to super rough, b/boy break-centric, sampleadelic, beyond manic hardcore/jungle tunes!! I actually have a long lost interview I sent off to Julian (DJ Hellfish, aka the artist behind these releases) re:…
Derek C – Can’t Stop the Feeling
Here’s a nice 91 whitelabel I picked up for 50 cents in LA earlier this year… reissued later on this EP, “Can’t Stop the Feeling” uses the classic Mainline acapella by Jason Load Experience feat Ivonya, as used in loads of hardcore/jungle tracks (Omni Trio – Mainline, Lemon D – Feel It, 4 Hero –…
Trans Vexed – Rambo
Another unknown gem / personal fav I feel a bit reluctant to publicly share.. gotta put this one up though since I think it’ll appeal in particular to some friends and regular supporters of this blog. I’m always on the lookout for the fastest, craziest, most mashed up early hardcore/jungle tracks I can find. While…
EOAD – Pleasure
Damn, looks like I’ve got some catching up to do on the posts! As always when I slack on posts for a while, here’s a special track I might not normally want to just post up and name – a total personal favorite which I don’t think was in many mixes and hence isn’t too…
Vibes – Underground Vibes
Here’s a nice score from my last NY trip a few weeks ago. Had this on my wants for a while, in retrospect it’s not a super crazy catchy track but it has “that weather report break” which is one of my top top few favorite breakbeats, plus some good oft-used ragga samples in it.…
Skeeta Ranks – I Like it (Jungle Mix)
After jungle first started blowing up in 94/95, lots of jungle remixes began popping up on more mainstream hiphop and rnb releases. Already featured heavily on UK pressed dancehall releases by labels like Jet Star and Fashion, these new remixes were a bit more dodgey since they were a mixture of original/legit heads and opportunistic…
