I recently did a 1 hour block of some of my favorite rave music videos for Network Awesome, a new “online tv station” / video curating site. My collection is lots of anthems combined with a few obscurities to keep it interesting. Please check it out and pass on the link if you like it!…

Intelligent Minds – Voyage
Here’s a tune which I’ve got no info on, aside from knowing it’s some nice atmospheric jungle which was likely made between 1994-96… Nice crunchy choirs and pianos, some subtle beatwork including layering of the same beat which gives a bit of a phase effect in parts, etc. The a-side of this is wicked as…
CMC – Techno Drome
Here’s a totally mental favorite from 92, on the Ibiza sublabel Limited E Edition. It just popped to mind because someone from Well Rounded Records posted a youtube video that happened to be the the main sample source for the track: I always thought the end of the sample sounded like it was saying “mother…
DJ Splix – Nasty Rhythm
“You are now about to witness the strength of… Ecstasy!!” Yup, it doesn’t get much more classic than that. Lately there’s been so much gloriously grimey obscure stuff posted on here, I’ve neglected the bigger friendlier tracks like this tune. Tunes which, while a lot better known then your average limited-to-300 white label, are still…
Panacea – Big Bad Head Mix (Remaster)
I just noticed Panacea posted up a remastered version of his great 2002 “Big Bad Head” mix, including download links. Not sure how long the dl link will stick around, so get to downloading! Big Bad Head Mix(REMASTER) by positionchrome I don’t post many mixes on this site, and when I do they come heavily…
RIP Loleatta Holloway
Thanks to Graham the Invisible Man for passing on this unfortunate news. American soul singer Loleatta Holloway has died aged 64 following a short period of ill health. Her manager Ron Richardson broke the news last night. Holloway was an incredible singer who might be one of the most sampled singers ever in jungle/hardcore… Listen…
Vicious Crew – No Politics Vol. 2
Tonight’s tune is some seriously chopped hardcore/jungle from a crew of 3 producers, including someone related to the Ibiza/Noise Factory records camp: Big Vern aka Colin Biggerstaff. Colin also did EPs on Boogie Beat, Camden Tunes, World Bass, etc. I can’t say I’m the biggest fan of the first Vicious Crew EP, it’s good but…
BUBBLE-B feat. Enjo-G – バリバリスナック

DEA – Sphere of Destiny
Thanks to Dara for selling me this one recently, a favorite of mine which might be an acquired taste due to its mega-rough production. The break layers are kind of hectic and don’t fully match up, the samples range from low-fi to lower-fi, there’s lots of variation in the levels, and the beats don’t seem…
