Fun show, totally unorganized grab-bag as per usual, but it seemed to mostly center on 94-95 jungle and ragga stuff. Some definite gems in here which I don’t think I’ve played before on the radio show – jo – apollo, the eov record, formula 7, etc.

Krazy Kid & Uncle – Dick Turpin Remix
More crazy 92 sounds… De Underground and their associated labels did quite a few releases which as a whole are a bit underrated in comparison to other labels’ output at the time. Rather than going for simple cheesy piano anthems, a lot of their earliest tunes had strange sanmples, raw production, and in general are…
More Bass Than Fingers – Batfink
Here’s a fun 92 track released on the label J4M, who put out Nebula 2 Flatliners and a few of the good Bass Ballistics EPs among others. No idea about the artist, it’s a bit strange though… despite not being that rare in terms of pressing size or demand, I almost never see this EP…
BV – Vision
This is one of those personal favorites I’m a little reticent to post since it’s not an easy/cheap tune to find and isn’t so widely known. Luckily for you guys, I ripped this a while back and am too sick/busy/lazy today to rip something else, so up it goes. “Vision” is a deep 95 amen…
Industrial Espionage – 4 U 2 B In XTC EP
Big in-demand 92 whitelabel for today! “4 U 2 B In XTC” was an EP by Grant Nelson, the man behind Wishdokta / many of the great Kickin’ Records releases as well as one of UKG’s progenitors. This EP, done under the one-off “Industrial Espionage” alias, might be just a little bit rougher around the…

Here’s this week’s radio show… I couldn’t be there when it happened because I was seeing Amon Tobin’s crazy ISAM show in Boston (also DJ’ing an afterparty he played at afterwards). Because of that, I pre-recorded a set and someone from jungletrain played it during the show’s regular slot. Apparently they started it 30 minutes…
Dillinja – Deep Deadly Subs
This track is probably a lot more well known than most stuff I post, but I’ve had it at the front of my crates for a while and it’s still a relatively small label release so up it goes. Before Dillinja helped spearhead the whole crazy tearout banger style of DNB, he did quite a…
Frankie Paul – Round and Round
It’s been a while since I posted some ragga jungle, here’s a pretty cool and obscure track from a ragga jungle comp by a label in Jamaica… I think it fits nicely with the comment a few days ago regarding those Mazaruni / King Tubby related Jungle records, where someone was mentioning real jungle artists…
Tango And Dom – My Mind Is Going (Remix)
Serious tuneage here… sorry the rip doesn’t sound that good, it’s from the 2002 reissue of the original EP, which includes this rare remix which was only ever on dubplate. To be honest, the remix sounds a bit like it might have just been recorded off of plate, but the music still shines through regardless……

Here’s last wednesday’s radio show. I’m pretty happy with this set, lots of tunes I haven’t played in a while!
