Here’s a nice 94 jungle track w/ great ragga vocal bits and a nice slowjam melody. It’s actually been repressed so it shouldn’t be too hard to find on wax, even the original doesn’t seem to go for too much. The artists behind it are still around and still releasing DNB, so check their site…

Dance On Arrival – Lockjaw (Spacecore Mix)
From the rare and pricey back to some “price of a cup of coffee” tunes- here’s one of the many overlooked Boogie Beat singles. As with the other EPs on Boogie Beat, this EP is a bit easy to miss since was plentifully pressed, and is a bit rough around the edges – however this…
Foul Play Productions – Finest Illusion
Here’s a real treat… one of the most revered and in-demand oldskool tracks out there. Despite having several pressings, this track is somewhat scarce due to the fact that it was recalled (on account of the uncleared S.O.S. Band sample). It was later released as a “legal” version on Moving Shadow with the SOS Band…
Aphex Twin “Digeridoo” for free (legally) on Juno
Just read about this on B2VOS, tried it out and it’s true – 0 dollars and 0 cents for the R&S track Aphex Twin “Digeridoo”, in whatever (digital) format you’d like. You might have to register for juno download, but assuming most of you are into some newer music you should probably be registered with…
Bay B Kane official facebook page
Bay B Kane just made an official page for his tunes, join up if you’re on facebook! BAY B KANE FACEBOOK PAGE Also, feel free to add the “blog to the oldskool ” FB page too… not much point to it now but I might start posting extra content there, also it’s kind of fun…
Count Zero – Inner Fury
Here’s yet another heavily under-appreciated gem: Count Zero’s “Inner Fury” EP on SDI. Written by DJ Massive under a one-off alias (perhaps because it’s a bit of a stylistic departure for him), this 4 tracker has got great sinister catchy synth lines, nice hiphop vocals cuts (MC Duke in this track), and beats which are…
Dexxtrous – Something Out There
It amazes me that as many years as I’ve been collecting oldskool and as nerdy as I’ve been about it , I still find plenty of crazy tracks that I never had any idea about. Not just obscure white label stuff either, but tracks on relatively big labels, or by well known artist. Not sure…
Cool Hand Flex & Uncle 22 – Odd Ball EP
Here’s a slower track than I’ve posted lately.. Cool Hand Flex is one of the most prolific-yet-underrated early hardcore/jungle producers and engineers. A lot of his early tunes are split over De Underground and its numerous sublabels (Oddball, IE, Ruff Groove, U No Dat, In Touch etc), though he also did tracks on Brain and…
Obviously High – Mistery Tour EP
Here’s a nice EP by Andrew Wright aka The Moog, done in conjunction with a few other people. The A-Side is OK, but I prefer these B-side tracks. “Inside My Head” uses some classic video game sounds in conjunction with the classic “happiness is just around the bend” acapella, as posted about here. The 3rd…
MC Jay J and Devious D – Sensational Jungalist
Here’s a favorite of mine from the not-incorrectly-titled Awesome Records label run by Slipmatt and Lime. “Time of Our Lives” was maybe the bigger track on this, and was previously released on another EP with another favorite tune of mine, “Drive Ya Crazy”. However, “Sensational Jungalist” is my pick on this release – great ragga…
