Here’s a bit of a strange track. It was released in 95 on the Boom Tunes label, which put out some decent choppy jungle releases. The other side of this EP is pretty good 95-style jungle, with a fair number of changeups and timestretched vocals and breaks.. but nothing which particularly stands out to me.…

DJ Skie – Whistlin’ In the Jungle
My DJ set on Thursday was tons of fun. Elements has been the main DNB night in Boston for years now, and the only one running consistently for 11 years (I’ve been going there off and on since the beginning). I got to play an hour of 92-93 and then drop some crazy 94-95 stuff…
v/a “Malcolm X” EP
I haven’t posted any random US stuff in a while, so here’s a Belgian single with some US oldskool tracks on it. The first side is taken up by several mixes of the track “the truth”, which is OK but nothing mindblowing. If I remember it right, it has a bunch of Malcolm X samples,…
Unknown Artist (Light of the Undeground)
Another day, another oldskool track. Here’s one of my favorite De Underground related tunes, no doubt done by either Flex, Uncle 22, Mike De Underground or someone similar. This track incorporates a lot of classic samples – the “hardcore!” vocal snippet, LFO-LFO synth, the Bridget Grace “Take Me Away” acapella (used recently in the Prodigy…
Strategy & DJ Freshtrax – The Dreammaster
Here’s a record that’s been sitting in my crate for a while without me spinning it much… just put it on yesterday though and it’s pretty sick! Freshtrax was around from quite early on, in fact the earliest record I have by him is from 1990 He released and was involved in quite a few…
Unknown Artist (Great Asset GAD32) – Untitled
Not much to say about this one as I don’t know who the artist is… it’s a classy mashup track combining the beats from “never try the hippodrome”, the accapella from Baby D – Daydreaming (which I’m sure will pop up in a new house/dubstep track any day now if it hasn’t already) , and…
Jack Horner EP
Jack Horner is one of those great forgotten artists from the 92-95 period with only a handful of releases, but where every release is great. Aside from doing an EP with Bad Influence which is good and very in demand, he did the great Summer in the south EP which is For sale on Digital…
Ecology – In The House
Here’s a wicked track on Vicious Pumpin’ Plastic which I remember putting in my first ever recorded mix… not sure how to describe this tune really. It’s not particularly anthem-y, happy or dark, sample filled or stripped down… in most descriptive axes I can think of, this track sort of falls right in the middle.…
3 Sample – Streets of Rage
Someone asked me to post this recently when I posted another 3 sample track. I think I actually prefer “High On Life” to “Streets of Rage”, despite “Streets” being the better known and more in-demand track. Still, it’s a good tune which warrants posting. The other thing which made me want to post this was…
Hope & Dave – Rushing (aka Masquerade “Rushin”)
Here’s a tune that’s pretty much the opposite of what I posted on Wednesday, and not my typical favorite type of tune. However, this track has wormed itself into my head and just won’t leave! It’s a straightforward housey hardcore track from late 91/early 92, male vocals and all.. nothing crazy going on but solid…
