I’ll admit that I have been neglecting my role on here a bit, with the lack of posts & that, but I should be more active in contributing content on here from now on. So let’s start off with a bit of background on this tune: it features on a wicked little CD compilation release…
Fuze – Fluctuations
Here’s a 95 jungle tune for fans of GLR / atmospheric / intelligent stuff. Nothing crazy or extreme going on here, just pleasant melodic pads, rolling breaks and female vocals. The label this is on (On-Line Recordings) put out a handful of other similar style tracks 95-97, all quite cheap and easy to find these…
Hyper-On Experience Interview Series
The final clip from Tim Cant’s Hyper-On Experience interview series was posted today. All in all, it’s been one of the most interesting and engaging interviews I’ve seen related to oldskool in a long while. As Tim Reaper pointed out, this period happened so long ago and so quickly (a few short years 20 years…
Templa – In N Out Your Mind
Here’s a nice white label obscurity. Though supposedly from 1992, this track didn’t come out until the mid-noughts on the flip of a reissue of D’Livin “Why”. It’s actually worth tracking both the original of that EP down and the reissue, as the other tracks on the original are nice (not featured on the reissue),…
Tim Reaper – BTTO Radio March 23rd, 2014
Almost forgot to post this one… Tim, you should have reminded me!! Nice set from Tim from last Sunday, starting w/ some more hardcore stuff moving into some excellent jungle selections. Well worth the download!
Abyss of Time – Deep Flowin
Here’s a dark German jungle tune from 1995 I took a chance on recently. I’ll admit I hadn’t really heard much about this label before getting this – based on the producer’s site and info on discogs, it seems Outlaw Records were based near Mannheim, part of the Milk! Club scene and started around 94…
Blog to the Oldskool Radio – March 9th 2014
Sunday’s show was a nice one: 94-95 selection, less beardy than usual for me, which still means pretty nerdy, but N-Flow and Tim Reaper were in the chat recognizing tunes left and right. Managed to keep this pretty laid back and pleasant with some more up front stuff and a bit o ragga, enjoy!
Original RAW – Rollin’
Switching gears from 92, here’s a wicked 96 track which shows the upside of more jump-up style sounds, before “jump up” became a bit of a dirty word for some people (raises hand sheepishly + looks around the room). Here you get that thick bass sound so prevalent in jump-up, mixed with more subby stabs,…
Radio Frontline Set Feb 28th 2014 (Darkside/Dark Jungle)
Last Friday’s Radio Frontline set was a good time, aside from too much time spent trying to get a microphone to work through overly complicated means, which never did fully pan out. The set was itself dark 92 stuff through to darker 94 jungle. A handful of quite beardy obscurities but also hopefully some familiar…
Space Cube – Mental Terror
Here’s a personal favorite I meant to play in my set last Friday on Radio Frontline, but I didn’t quite get to it. It’s arguably a well known track (certainly not an obscure white label), getting play at the time in the hardcore scene from people like DR S Gachet, Kenny Ken and Druid amongst…
