This month the EP posts have been pretty sparse on this site, so I’m enforcing the long-standing “slack on posting tunes for a while => make up for it by posting some rare slammers” rule. Hence, this track: “Hunt and Seek” by by R.A.W. (the uk one not the LA jungle DJ) on the Awesome…

Ellis Dee – Synthetic Disco (Unreleased)
Present #2 for x-mas… Here’s an unreleased Ellis Dee tune straight from the man’s dubplates. Big thanks to DJ Quick Lung for providing it! This tune is from December 95 and sounds pretty hardstep to me. a steppy break (life could?) / amen combo, massive hiphop vocals and punchy bass. The vocals are taken from…
Anthony X-Cursa – Mind Control
Here’s a great 95 tune which is reasonably easy/cheap to find. Choppy but sparse intro beats roll along with C+C Music Factory Vocals on top (the same acapella as “through the vibe”, though diced a lot more here). Finally massive amens bash their way in alongside subby bass, crash accents and a number of spacey…
Sky Joose – Tales of Darkness
Here’s a crazy dark jungle track I meant to post yesterday… apparently quite pricey these days too (copy for 100 pounds on discogs right now). Sky Joose did some great records on ibiza related labels, Slam! and well as Jet Star… this is one of the two Jet Star EPs he did. Not too much…
Blog to the Oldskool Radio – November 7th
Here’s the set for jungletrain this last Wednesday, November 7th. I think it turned out to be a pretty well rounded selection of stuff from the blog ( click through on the tracklisting to get to the tunes), augmented with vinyl and a few curveballs tracks (someone mentioned a grime track in chat so I…
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…
BV – Vision
This is one of those personal favorites I’m a little reticent to post since it’s not an easy/cheap tune to find and isn’t so widely known. Luckily for you guys, I ripped this a while back and am too sick/busy/lazy today to rip something else, so up it goes. “Vision” is a deep 95 amen…
Frankie Paul – Round and Round
It’s been a while since I posted some ragga jungle, here’s a pretty cool and obscure track from a ragga jungle comp by a label in Jamaica… I think it fits nicely with the comment a few days ago regarding those Mazaruni / King Tubby related Jungle records, where someone was mentioning real jungle artists…
Prisoner – Mr Fix It
Been a while since I’ve posted an amen smasher, so here’s one I secretly posted as part of last Wedensday’s radio show. I grabbed this tune a couple of years ago as a tatty whitelabel that just said “london something” on it (made me think maybe it was the Code071 record), but it turned out…
Nomad – Devotion (Hard Step Mix)
Sorry about the delay in posting… laptop dying so I’ve been working on fixing it + busy w/ other misc stuff. Here’s a track to make up for it – a 95 jungle bootleg remix of a cheese-house chart-topper from 1990. Despite Nomad being pretty far from jungle/hardcore, this record isn’t the only connection Nomad…
