I recently bought a large amount of 94-95 stuff from a classic Boston DJ, and I’ll probably be posting a number of these records over the next few months… since they’re all relatively cheap/easy to find EPs, anything you hear and like you can probably nab on ebay or discogs for less than the cost…

Mysteron (The Invisible Man) – You Don’t Know
Here’s a great deep number by Graham Mew aka The Invisible Man aka Mysteron. Aside from producing some of the most memorable jungle tunes ever (“The Bell tune”, “The Beginning”, “The End”, etc), he also engineered tracks for Legend Records for quite a while, including a track called “Champion Sound” that some of you have…
DJ Rap – Your Mind (Gimp & Steve C Mix)
My turntable needles are still gone, so here’s an rip I did for my own listening purposes ages ago… it actually fits in very well with what I’ve been posting a lot of lately: singles which, by virtue of not being particularly rare or well known, are super cheap and in heavy supply despite being…
Jack Ruby – For Adults Only
Here’s some quality 94 amen choppage. Nothing too out there, just well engineered beats, sick dred bass and, erm.. sex sounds. The bass and beats remind me a bit of DJ SS “Rollidge” or “Lighter”. Jack Ruby (AKA DJ Zinc) did a number of good 94 jungle EPs which are all somewhat under-appreciated and go…
Mole The Dipper – Eye of the Dinosaur + Remix
Here’s two of my personal favorites… when it comes to fast, crazy, choppy 92-94 hardcore/jungle, Mole The Dipper is one of the best. If I had to compare his tracks to anyone else, the closest I could get would be Bizzy B… however they definitely have their own sound. “Eye of the Dinosaur” is a…
Dark Side of the Shroom EP
Here’s another EP that I would have no idea about if it weren’t for B2VOS, where it gets mentioned fairly regularly. This is actually a US downtempo/”trip hop”/acidy breaks EP by Omar Santana, which uses plenty of classic hiphop and rave sounds. The EP itself is strictly downtempo speed, however it can be pitched up…
The Headhunter – To the Sky
I got an email recently from someone who had run into an old friend of mine (hey Aaron!), who asked them to tell me to post more Psychic Parasite stuff… unfortunately, there’s only those 2 EPs, which I’ve already posted tracks from. However, Martin Damm (Biochip C) has plenty of other great tracks – here’s…
DJ Exodus + Head Pressure – Glass Pipe Fury
In the Shut Up & Dance interview posted a day or two ago, Droid mentioned anti-crack tunes that started showing up around 93… Here’s one from 94 on Krome & Time’s awesome Tearing Vinyl label. The artists behind this release are each responsible for previous excellent tunes – DJ Exodus did several releases on Skeleton…
MA1 – The Switch/Ruffige (Remix) – Formation 39
Compared to some of the stuff that Pete’s been uploading, these tunes are hardly obscurities, but I reckon that Formation are one of the most under appreciated of the prolific hardcore/jungle labels. I’ve always thought of them as one of the ‘big four’ alongside Shadow, Subbase and Reinforced – not that there weren’t plenty of…
Bass Boyz feat. Tippa Irie – Hyper Hyper
Here’s a nice totally overlooked 94 ragga jungle tune. A lot of similar records go for serious cash now, but this tune is bare cheap… It has nice percussion (the congos reminds me of “Helicopter Tune”), decent vocals (took me a while to understand what the hell “twist me up just like a robot” even…
