Here’s another track I played on the 92 show but never posted the set from, so here it is in ripped form… it’s a really cool whitelabel release of solid hardcore from back in the day, which Vinyl Connection reissued about 10 years ago. Back before Discogs became such a force in second-hand online record…

NTT – BadBoy Spirit
So I did a 1992 special on the Blog to the Oldskool Jungletrain.net radio show 2 weeks ago, but there were some issues with the stream which also affected the recording. Shame, since I played some nice less obvious 92 tunes including this one. Most of the Biology releases are a combination of stabby hardcore…
DJ D-Lux – Taking Me Higher
Here’s a nice choppy amen tune by Deja Vu FM Don DJ D-Lux. Not much to say about this one, though it’s produced and written by DJ D-Lux, it’s on a Brain Records related sublabel and definitely has that brain studio drum production. I remember finding this one when buying records at Bizzy B’s studio…
Abreaction – The Mind
Something a bit different here… I remember this tune being listed on some website a few years ago as “experimental hardcore.. for the deeper heads!” or something to that extent. Listening to the tune then I thought “I don’t get it, these beats are pretty straightforward/not that choppy? sounds pretty normal to me”. I guess…
Sound Corp – Regen-Time (Mix 2)
Here’s a gem I found in my collection while pulling tracks for yesterday’s radio show… Most people probably know Sound Corp for their dark anthem “Dream Finder”, probably not as much for this tune (or if so, possibly for a different mix of it – there’s at least 2 others). This mix of Regen-Time is…
Sky Joose – X-Redskin
Here’s some tasty 95 ragga jungle from Sky Joose. Not much info available on this release, if you check the audio though you can hear that the beats in the other b-side tune sound quite similar to “Tales of Darkness”, so it’s most likely him. The elements here are pretty standard jungle – pads, dancehall…
Dev/Null – I Can’t Believe How Dark It Is (Fright Night Radio set March 21st 2013)
Here’s my set from the Fright Night radio show a few weeks ago. It took a while to post since I wanted to either rerecord it or at least cut out a few dodgey parts (record skips etc less than stellar transitions). I ended up doing the latter, so this is the exact set from…
DJ Senator & The Bagman – Tranqued
Here’s an interesting EP which took me a while to get fully into – it sounded promising when I heard it years ago, but when I finally got around to buying a copy, none of the tracks really resonated much and it kind of sat in the back of my collection. I just found it…
Nightclubbing at Metalheadz – RBMA Article
I don’t usually repost much stuff from other sites, but this is a must-read….I never got to go to this classic Metalheadz night, though I went to some other night they did a few years after this (can’t remember the club / lineup, though I remember Loxy playing and possibly a Reinforced related DJ headlining).…
Wraggy and The Riggler – I’ll Give My Love To You
Here’s a fun early breakbeat happy hardcore track from 94 – if it was written in 92 or 93 it would have just been considered a normal oldskool track. But since it came out in 94, at which point the split into jungle and hhc was much more palpable, it’s clear which side of that…
