Another essential track from the 92-93 NYE Easygroove mix, this time the first track in the mix. This record, along with Ten44/Raw, is one of the most in-demand and pricey records on the Awesome Records label (which I believe was run by Slipmatt + Lime), and when I finally scored this for a reasonable price,…

Subject 13 – Mash It Up DJ
Although he started releasing records back in 1990, this is from Subject 13’s first record which I would class as full-on hardcore jungle. It’s a quality straightforward ragga hardcore number: no crazy edits, ridiculous synth parts or any such surprises… just solid chunky beats, pianos, well sequenced vocals, and plenty of BASS. Subject 13 –…
Dave Charlesworth – Energizer 4
Sampling more tracks than you could shake an anthem covered stick with, this high energy bootleg from Dave Charlesworth from After Dark Records, Orbital, and producer of many classics such as “Edge Of Darkness – Come Together” one of my favorite 1992 records that i own. here is a small list of tracks sampled on…
Demo & Poet – PCP EP
I mentioned in the comments section that I’d start posting some of my favorite tracks from that Easygroove mix… here’s one of my favorites, and one of the more pricey records I’ve ever bought. Demo + Poet’s PCP EP even gives Parliament Records releases a run for their money in terms of glorious rawness. The…
Eoad – Move Me
Another sub label of ibiza records, “Future Sounds” only had a couple of releases and this one is quite varied, It mentions the “Belgravia Workshop” I have no idea what happened there maybe a reader could shed some light on that for us. Side 2 track 2 is like a mashup of lots of famous…
Citizen Kaned – Set Me Free
I’m pretty sure I originally bought this EP based on the strength of the artist name… really, how can you go wrong with CITIZEN KANED? In this case you can’t (and don’t), as long as you’re a fan of lovingly assembled 91/92 style euphoric hands-in-the-air tracks. The production and track structure are rock solid on…
DJ Chemistry – Experiment 2
I dug this out today and had a good listen its a great 12″ from 1993. Its a strange label as its labeled as Experiment 2 but on the flip its Chemisrty Records. A1 features a sample’s from snap – rhythm is a dancer (yeh you know the one) & Arrested Development’s – Man’s Final…
Low Noise Block – Rave In The Bedroom
Taking me straight back to being 12 years old, This comedy side of a great white from 1992. Featuring a sample from “The Young Ones” on the bbc from 1982, the main track is exactly the same but without the sample is a dark techno influenced banger on limited E a sub label of ibiza…
Welcome DSP!
Up until now,all posts on this blog (barring one by Will Sublogic) have been by me, Pete. That’s about to change – there’s a new author on this blog. On top of having an excellent collection (I’ve bought tunes off him before) and deep knowledge, DSP also makes wicked jungle tracks himself.
DD Hass & Extensive – Out of Africa
Some more “lesser known tracks by an artist known for one big tune”. In this case it’s DD Hass & Extensive, known best for Hi Tech Muuusic. This single came out a year later and has some great tracks on it. Pretty similar musical elemnts to “hi tech muuusic”, same bass sound etc, but the…
