Someone please explain to me how a tune this good is this cheap and low rated on discogs? I guess the B side is better than the A and the A side is pretty technoey for the time, but come on….. every track on the EP is pretty solid, yet I see loads of copies…

Chekists – Vengeance
Another white label I don’t have any info on, this one is a far cry from the choppy polished jungle I posted yesterday – it’s a lot moodier with acidy synths and a single note piano part coming in and out. The break layering in it sounded a bit awkward to me at first but…
Potential Bad Boy feat MC Det – Rollin’
If you read this blog, chances are you’re at least somewhat amenable to 94/95 choppy ragga jungle tracks… in which case, you’ll probably be happy with today’s post. It’s a one-off release by Potential Badboy on his own label Jekyll & Hyde , which he relaunched more recently as a Ganja Records sublabel. Vocals in…

Eddie – Intelligent Drummer (Steve Gurley Remix)
I suppose I could try to write up something about how important Steve Gurley was as a member of Foul Play and for his later music which was massively influential. Instead, I’ll give you a detailed look into the deep critical process and internal dialogue which went into picking and posting this track today: “Hmmm,…
Max Voltage – Make You Scream
Longtime favorite here! I never got around to buying this record simply because it’s such a cheap + easy to find tune, it almost didn’t seem worth it to pay the shipping costs (postage was 3 times what the record cost). I finally bought it a week ago though. One of the first records on…
Blog to the Oldskool Rave video special on Network Awesome
I recently did a 1 hour block of some of my favorite rave music videos for Network Awesome, a new “online tv station” / video curating site. My collection is lots of anthems combined with a few obscurities to keep it interesting. Please check it out and pass on the link if you like it!…

Intelligent Minds – Voyage
Here’s a tune which I’ve got no info on, aside from knowing it’s some nice atmospheric jungle which was likely made between 1994-96… Nice crunchy choirs and pianos, some subtle beatwork including layering of the same beat which gives a bit of a phase effect in parts, etc. The a-side of this is wicked as…
CMC – Techno Drome
Here’s a totally mental favorite from 92, on the Ibiza sublabel Limited E Edition. It just popped to mind because someone from Well Rounded Records posted a youtube video that happened to be the the main sample source for the track: I always thought the end of the sample sounded like it was saying “mother…
