In honor of halloween, here’s the darkside set I did on my radio show last Wednesday. I was hoping to get a chance to rerecord this and get it really nice sounding for today, but I’ve been crazy busy as of late. Also, listening back it’s not that bad aside from overall level inconsistency and…

DSC – Kara Vajda (In Da Jungle)
Here’s an interesting weird record I ripped for a friend yesterday. It’s not listed on discogs though there’s a CD comp it’s featured on. This EP was an attempt at fusing bhangra with jungle… kind of interesting if only for the genre combo and what sounds like a sample of this track: DSC – Kara…
E.O.V. – Give It Up
Amen fans, today is your day… some serious 1995 choppy jungle here! No idea who wrote this EP, however I played the b side of this on one of my last jungletrain radio shows. that side is a great track for mixing, with a drop full of absurd pitched amen snare rolls that sound absolutey…
Subway – Launch Pad
Seeerious 92 banger for you all today… here’s a track I bought years and years ago and totally forgot the name of, even though I’ve probably had that ragga vocal breakdown running through my head ever since I first heard it. I’m guessing I missed it on my shelves since I tend to think of…
Stevie Hyper-D documentary on Rinse FM (the Uncle Dugs show) this Friday
Not sure how much I’ve mentioned it before on here, but it’s no secret I’m a big fan of the Uncle Dugs show. Formerly station manager of Rinse FM, Dugs now runs a oldskool radio show every Friday morning on Rinse that’s been doing a lot to both bring back and create new interest in…
Jamma – Candyman
This is a track that ImaginaryForces has requested a few times on the blogtotheoldskool jungletrain radio show whenever I’d play Phrenetic “Candyman”. I still probably prefer the Phrenetic track (darker pads, etc) but I’ve warmed to this one quite a bit and it seems a bit rarer/more obscure. Plus, now I don’t have to hear…
Trix – The Way Back
Here’s a tune I’ve been playing on my net radio streams since I started a couple years ago, not sure if I’ve ever ID’d it though. At 7 minutes it might be more of a mixing track than something you want to listen to start-to-finish… however, I think it’s pretty fun and don’t think I’ve…
Kingsize – Come Now People EP
I’ve been meaning to save this EP for an article on early US breakbeat hardcore/rave, but it’s been a while since I posted any domestic obscurities. Despite a number of DJs playing oldskool here, very little bonafide 92/93 style tunes got released in the US, with most of the hardcore being more of the rave/techno…
Formula 7 – Voodoo
If you check this blog a lot, you’re probably aware how much I love tracks with lowfi choppy breakbeats layered up. This track by Formula 7 fits that description well – a resequenced kickback intro transitions into that beat combined with the terminator break, combined with simple sci-fi-esque pads and a repeating “I thought voodoo…
