Here’s a random unlabeled release by Orca on Force Ten. It’s got a bit of the trademark lucky spin sound of the time atmospheric-wise, but with maybe a bit steppier breaks than usual plus the added bonus of some tough ragga vocals dropping in throughout the track. Definitely one of the less known tracks by…
Psychic Parasite – Re-Animator EP
I’m a big fan of Biochip C’s breakbeat stuff, as evidenced by the number of great tunes I’ve already posted by him in various guises. This is one of my favorite EPs by him, a strong 5 tracker where EVERY track is a killer. Not sure how it would fit into uk stuff at the…
Da Dread – Subconscious Fears
Well, that was a nice vacation from posting… time to start chucking tunes up again though! Be sure to check the site next few days, I’m going to try to post a fair bit of stuff. First up, a nice 93 track all about the drum programming/processing. Amens get pitched up and down, doubled up,…
Blog to the Oldskool Radio October 24th: Halloween Darkside Special
In honor of halloween, here’s the darkside set I did on my radio show last Wednesday. I was hoping to get a chance to rerecord this and get it really nice sounding for today, but I’ve been crazy busy as of late. Also, listening back it’s not that bad aside from overall level inconsistency and…
DSC – Kara Vajda (In Da Jungle)
Here’s an interesting weird record I ripped for a friend yesterday. It’s not listed on discogs though there’s a CD comp it’s featured on. This EP was an attempt at fusing bhangra with jungle… kind of interesting if only for the genre combo and what sounds like a sample of this track: DSC – Kara…
E.O.V. – Give It Up
Amen fans, today is your day… some serious 1995 choppy jungle here! No idea who wrote this EP, however I played the b side of this on one of my last jungletrain radio shows. that side is a great track for mixing, with a drop full of absurd pitched amen snare rolls that sound absolutey…
Subway – Launch Pad
Seeerious 92 banger for you all today… here’s a track I bought years and years ago and totally forgot the name of, even though I’ve probably had that ragga vocal breakdown running through my head ever since I first heard it. I’m guessing I missed it on my shelves since I tend to think of…
Stevie Hyper-D documentary on Rinse FM (the Uncle Dugs show) this Friday
Not sure how much I’ve mentioned it before on here, but it’s no secret I’m a big fan of the Uncle Dugs show. Formerly station manager of Rinse FM, Dugs now runs a oldskool radio show every Friday morning on Rinse that’s been doing a lot to both bring back and create new interest in…
Jamma – Candyman
This is a track that ImaginaryForces has requested a few times on the blogtotheoldskool jungletrain radio show whenever I’d play Phrenetic “Candyman”. I still probably prefer the Phrenetic track (darker pads, etc) but I’ve warmed to this one quite a bit and it seems a bit rarer/more obscure. Plus, now I don’t have to hear…
Trix – The Way Back
Here’s a tune I’ve been playing on my net radio streams since I started a couple years ago, not sure if I’ve ever ID’d it though. At 7 minutes it might be more of a mixing track than something you want to listen to start-to-finish… however, I think it’s pretty fun and don’t think I’ve…
