It’s been a while since I posted something focused on International Jungle. Luckily, Ricky / Tykal recently sent me this mix he did of all early Jungle/DNB from Russia. For those of you who don’t know Tykal, he’s been a source of knowledge in jungle forums (mainly but not exclusively ragga jungle-centric) for 15 years…

Devnull – Blog to the Oldskool Radio July 12th 2015
Here’s the set from last night. Tim’s set will follow tomorrow or as soon as he sends me the tracklisting. Last night was pretty fun, nice to be back splitting 2 hours instead of doing a full 2 hour set. My set was heavy on the nerdy stuff but still some gems I think? Thanks…
Thumbzo – Jack It
I really try not to post much “new” stuff but I think this warrants sharing. Thumbzo has been kind of an “unsung hero” for online hc/jungle for a long while now – doing great mixes of 92-96 style stuff (plus some house/techno sets) with really nice, solid, listenable selections. Nothing obscure-for-the-sake-of-obscure, nothing anthem bashy, just…
Blog to the Oldskool Radio Feb 8th 2015: 1993-1996 Jungle
Really fun show last night, thanks to everyone who locked in! Always good to have people in the chatroom keeping it lively, also got some nice requests made which fit the show well. Apologies for not getting to the PFM one on, I found out my copy of “wash over me” is pretty nasty sounding…
International (Non-UK) Hardcore/Jungle mix
Here’s a set I tried to play on jungletrain 2 weeks ago, but I wasn’t happy with it because it had a lot of clipping and not all the tunes I wanted. So I went back and rerecorded it in one go, then edited that recording, taking out a few sections to make it extra…
DJ Exodus 95 Hart FM Mix on Hardscore
DJ Extreme recently posted this great mix by DJ Exodus from Hart FM. The tracklisting is wicked – lots of slightly lesser known tunes alongside some huge classics, including my personal faovrite, Trace’s part 2nd remix of “Babylon”. 01 Barrington Levy – Here I Come (Jungle) – Greensleeves (x2) 02 Jonny L – I Won’t…
DJ Trax – Mixrace 92-96 Mix for Blog To the Oldskool
To celebrate the official release of 8205-001 today, Dave DJ Trax (aka one half of Mixrace) has put together a wicked mix of some of the classic tunes he and Dev wrote together in the 1992-1996 period, including some special re-edits and unreleased versions never before heard. This mix is definitely one to check, moving…
DJ Monita – “12 Chapters” Mix Series & Interview
A little while back, DJ Monita of Skeleton Recordings unearthed a series of cassette tapes he recorded between 1994 and 1995. Between April 94 and March 95, he recorded one new mix a month, 12 in all… no small feat given the number of tracks in these mixes and the good quality of them. That…
Tim Reaper’s All Liftin’ Spirit Mix For Blog To The Oldskool
Here’s a wicked mix by Tim Reaper featuring all tracks from the Liftin’ Spirit label. Set up in 94 by Ant Miles as a sort of sister label to RAM, Liftin’ Spirit put out loads of heavy jungle tunes in those early years. As with RAM, nothing I’ve heard from them was particularly weird, out-there,…
DJ Stretch – Tom & Jerry Tribute Set
Oh my word… what a mix!!! DJ Stretch just played a set earlier tonight (Saturday) as part of Radio Frontline, and it damn near broke mixlr from all the comments and “likes” it was getting. Featuring practically all the big Tom and Jerry hits, including a bunch of unreleased dubplates and some unreleased remixes/edits. For…
