Andrew Wright aka The Moog recently posted an album of his tunes for free download…. I believe it’s been for sale on CD since 2006, but now anyone can grab it. The album is a mixture of styles, and includes two classics “Jungle Muffin” and “Rush Hour (Obviously High Remix)” remastered and sounding great, plus…

E.K.U.D.C.M. – Dub Plate Business 2
I did a pretty lengthy post a while back on MC Duke, who did some great early hiphop on Music Of Life plus some excellent jungle tracks. Here’s one of the EPs I didn’t post, Dubplate Business Part 2. The other tracks on this EP don’t stand out that much, but this first track has…
Smooth But Hazzardous – Push up the Levels
Here’s an ace Ron Wells track currently too rich for my wallet on original press, thankfully it was repressed on both the remix EP plus this excellent comp, both of which I have on vinyl. The tune has all the trademark elements of a Ron Wells / Jack Smooth production (aka “that early Basement sound”),…
DJ Spice – Brand New (Stressed Out Mix)
Another day, another “why the hell is this amazing single selling for 3 POUNDS?!!!” EP, this time by DJ Spice. Soapbar put out some amazing EPs (as the DJ Aka I posted a while back shows), and this one is no exception. Total 93 ragga jungle/hardcore business with plenty of choice vocal samples and solid…
Bay B Kane – Hyd & Seek
Everyone who reads this site should know about Bay B Kane: either by virtue of him being one of the top hardcore/jungle producers ever, or at the very least (for less informed people checking this), from reading the 3 part interview I posted on here a while back. This track is not as well known…
The X Men – My Sound Rule EP
Here’s a great ragga jungle track from 1994. Hyper Records put out a few nice early records, including a couple by DJ Panik and the Freaky (together and separately) which I like a lot. Unlike a lot of labels which fizzled out earlier, Hyper Records kept going from 91 all the way up through 2000.…
DJ Massive – Enter The Badboy EP Vol 1
I’ve never understood why this EP isn’t more in-demand… while there’s no complete “lose your mind it’s so good, best of 93” tunes on it, it is a 5 tracker of which ALL the tracks are solid and playable, and a few are really nice. Despite that, it seems to go for very little and…
Anti-Chaos – Crazy Jungle
Here’s a super catchy and fun 93 track, I remember buying it for the B side which I’ve heard in a couple mixes, but the A side (this track) is a great tune too and probably a better “listening” track. I don’t think Anti-Chaos did anything else, which makes this single all that more impressive.…
The Eliminators – Soothe My Soul
This track is one of my all-time favorite early Happy Hardcore jams. It combines the breaks from Jonny L “Hurt U So”with a vocal most well known from (but not originally from) Justice + Mercy “Soothe My Soul”, as featured in this great carl cox video: There’s a few other classic samples in it. The…
Bizzy B – Infactuation
Here’s a wicked track by Bizzy B, one of the absolute best jungle producers and one of the primary creators and innovators of the entire “mashed up jungle” sound. He’s also one of the nicest producers I’ve met. I remember years ago buying records direct from him in his studio, getting so wrapped up in…
