Sorry for the grimey rip here, my copy of this is pretty beat up… the two A-side tracks on this EP are basically sped up versions of Erik B + Rakim “Let the Rhythm Hit em” instrumental. True, other hardcore tracks use the same break as sampled in that tune (Assembly Line), or the specific…
J&J – “Sweetest Taboo” & “Boom Boom”
Here’s a 95 jungle Sade remix by Dutch producers released on a French label. This means that the producer duo who did this is NOT the same J&J as from Stricty Underground, instead these two were Eurodance/Happy Hardcore producers most likely jumping the jungle bandwagon when tracks like “Incredible” blew up. You can kind of…
Doncaster Warehouse 2 hour video
I posted that now infamous Doncaster warehouse clip about a year ago here… just saw it reposted, followed a few links and ended up on this extended version with over 2 hours of footage! Def worth taking a look
Smith Inc – Palamino
Here’s a tune I can’t imagine anyone taking issue with… maybe not known all that well by name, it was battered in seemingly ALL the mixtapes circa 93 by a decent cross-section of big DJs. Written by Simon Bassline Smith, the popularity of “Palamino” was probably down to how it stood out as a harbinger…
QBass – Deepa (Digital Remix by Chris Cox & Michael Eng)
It’s been quite a while since I posted a us digital remix of a known oldskool track from one of those early 90’s compilations.. in the past, I’ve posted some of these promo-only remixes for tracks like Sonz of a Loop Da Loop – Far Out, Acen – Close Your Eyes, X-Static – Ready 2…
3 Way Split with Easygroove – Wicked Ones
Here’s a nice 92track by Easygroove and (according to Discogs, confirmation please???) Roni Size. It’s not nearly as crazy as you’d expect a track from THE TECHNO DREAD to be, but it would make sense for an early Roni Size tune… kind of slowjammy 94 melody sample with streamlined breaks, plus some more 92-ish synth…
Gunstar Hero’s – Did You Love Me?
Thanks to my buddy Alfredo aka MC Assassin in Rotterdam for reminding me of this tune on facebook… I picked this up a few years ago and never saw fit to post it, but it’s a cool EP worth checking out regardless of which 94 styles you’re into. By an unknown artist on a one-off…
New Bay B Kane curated jungle comp “Junglist Manifesto” out now
Mel Bay B Kane dropped me a line recently, regarding a compilation which he curated containing tunes based on his “have a break” sample CD on Whitehouse If you haven’t read the interview I did with him a few years ago, definitely check it out here: Bay B Kane Interview: Part 1 2 3 I…
Rise Productions – Hardcore Frontier
So I’ve had this song stuck in my head for a while (mainly due to that great Yolk Mix and a 92 Fabio studio mix, though I know Easygroove played it as well), and don’t think it’ll leave until I post it. A great early single by the guys behind Juice Records, as well as…
Ned Ryder – Lift Off
Here’s a track I played during Wednesday’s jungletrain.net stream on vinyl. Someone also asked about it in the comments, so here it is! Yet another obscenely cheap great 94 tune, which I think goes for so little since it’s on a relatively large press label (Back 2 Basics) coupled with not being in many huge…
