SERIOUS 95 amen toonage here by the crew known as SHUT UP AND DANCE on their ragga jungle sublabel Red Light. The sublabel is probably best known for the classic track “bastards”, though there’s a number of other great tracks on the label. I can’t quite place the intro music to this one, swear it’s…

Dope Skillz – Six Million Ways to Die
I try to post a pretty wide variety of styles on this blog, at least within the spectrum of 91-95 hardcore/jungle sounds – dark stuff, happy stuff, anthems, super grungy white labels, etc. One style that doesn’t get nearly as much attention as others is jump up; I simply don’t own all that many jump…
Sy-uss & Reality – Tribal Instinct (Justice’s Remix)
Deep atmospheric 95 amens are on the plate for tonight’s entry – coupled with one of my favorite breaks (taken from Foul Play “Ricochet”) making this tune one to nab in my opinion Starting out doing some total hardcore anthems with Andrew Wright aka The Moog under the name “Justice + Mercy”, Justice did quite…
DJ Rush Puppy – Bad Man Lighter
Here’s one for all the ragga jungle / choppage kids – probably one of the more in demand 95 jungle tracks. Typical think/amen combo, loads of ragga vocal bits, standard sounds, nothing too out of the ordinary or crazy in my opinion, but definitely a well put together track that does does what it says…

Ramski – Dream of Horns
Here’s a bit of a strange track. It was released in 95 on the Boom Tunes label, which put out some decent choppy jungle releases. The other side of this EP is pretty good 95-style jungle, with a fair number of changeups and timestretched vocals and breaks.. but nothing which particularly stands out to me.…
Shaka – 6 in the Morning
Sorry for the lack of updates, I was busy preparing for a DJ Set at an anime convention on Friday. Anyway, I’ve posted a couple of 92-93 tracks from Awesome so far, so here’s a later tune which is much more obscure but is a solid jam – jump up style hip hop samples with…
Dreadi Knight & Dj Legacy – Yard RAVE
Here’s a nice B-side I found on some nondescript 95 record. Choppy 94-style jungle beats and the Cocoa T & Cutty ranks “The Going Is Rough” acapella (as used in Sonz of a Loop Da Loop “Bust That Groove”). Not much more to say for this one, check it and enjoy! Dreadi-Knight & DJ Legacy…
Biobreaks – Tenebre
I’ve posted a lot of Biochip C/Martin Damm-related material on this site since I started. No reason to break from that trend now, so here’s one of my favorite EPs from him. “Tenebre” reminds me most closely of his other Riot Beats EP as Psychic Parasite. “Move” uses the classic “nobody move, nobody get hurt”…
DJ SS – Rollidge
Here’s a classic from DJ SS. This is a must-hear for anyone into “Lighter”, especially mix #1 of that tune which reminds me quite a bit of this. Surprisingly this was only a “bonus” track on the Roller’s Convention part 3 single, though it’s well known and has since been repressed as an A-side. There’s…
