Here’s a tune I can’t imagine anyone taking issue with… maybe not known all that well by name, it was battered in seemingly ALL the mixtapes circa 93 by a decent cross-section of big DJs. Written by Simon Bassline Smith, the popularity of “Palamino” was probably down to how it stood out as a harbinger…

QBass – Deepa (Digital Remix by Chris Cox & Michael Eng)
It’s been quite a while since I posted a us digital remix of a known oldskool track from one of those early 90’s compilations.. in the past, I’ve posted some of these promo-only remixes for tracks like Sonz of a Loop Da Loop – Far Out, Acen – Close Your Eyes, X-Static – Ready 2…
3 Way Split with Easygroove – Wicked Ones
Here’s a nice 92track by Easygroove and (according to Discogs, confirmation please???) Roni Size. It’s not nearly as crazy as you’d expect a track from THE TECHNO DREAD to be, but it would make sense for an early Roni Size tune… kind of slowjammy 94 melody sample with streamlined breaks, plus some more 92-ish synth…
Gunstar Hero’s – Did You Love Me?
Thanks to my buddy Alfredo aka MC Assassin in Rotterdam for reminding me of this tune on facebook… I picked this up a few years ago and never saw fit to post it, but it’s a cool EP worth checking out regardless of which 94 styles you’re into. By an unknown artist on a one-off…
New Bay B Kane curated jungle comp “Junglist Manifesto” out now
Mel Bay B Kane dropped me a line recently, regarding a compilation which he curated containing tunes based on his “have a break” sample CD on Whitehouse If you haven’t read the interview I did with him a few years ago, definitely check it out here: Bay B Kane Interview: Part 1 2 3 I…
Rise Productions – Hardcore Frontier
So I’ve had this song stuck in my head for a while (mainly due to that great Yolk Mix and a 92 Fabio studio mix, though I know Easygroove played it as well), and don’t think it’ll leave until I post it. A great early single by the guys behind Juice Records, as well as…
Ned Ryder – Lift Off
Here’s a track I played during Wednesday’s jungletrain.net stream on vinyl. Someone also asked about it in the comments, so here it is! Yet another obscenely cheap great 94 tune, which I think goes for so little since it’s on a relatively large press label (Back 2 Basics) coupled with not being in many huge…
Interview and new mix posted
Boston electronic music site Beantownboogiedown.com just posted an interview with me, as well as a new all-vinyl mix I did (24 tracks / 45 mins) Apologies for the responses, self-editing is not my strong point… hence a lot of the ramblings that end up on this blog. But maybe there’s some good bits in there?…
Fixing Old Rips…
I went through some of the old tracks I’ve posted which had digital clipping today and re-ripped them. feel free to re-grab these if the clicks n pops were bugging you.. there still may be some but now they’re all of the worn record variety and not the incorrect 0s and 1s type… most importantly,…
Half Pint – Greetings Jungle
Here’s an ace dollar bin find from my last UK trip… a nice summery ragga jungle tune, the regular press just had the vocal version but there’s also an instrumental on the version I got (greetings jungle). Maybe I should have posted the instrumental instead (to flex that this is the rarer copy of the…
