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…
Jay Cunning – Old Skool Vol 3 (Jungle Influenced Hardcore 92-93)
I don’t post many oldskool mixes on here because there’s numerous other blogs that already do a far better job of that than I ever could: hardscore, deep inside the oldskool, tape pack sickness, etc. Also, even though I’ve got my favorite old mixes like everyone else, these days I don’t have much time to…
Addiction – Wildstyle EP
Here’s a wicked EP that seems to be going for cheaper and cheaper (as are a lot of the Vicious Pumpin’ Plastic releases). The A side is probably much better known, as it appeared on the first Illegal Pirate Radio comp as “Jump”. However, I hadn’t heard this B side track before picking up the…
Origination – R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Remix
Here’s an easy to find one by Origination, AKA Photek and Lexis. The first Origination single “Breakdown” is pretty in demand, but I see this slightly later single all the time and for cheap – not sure why, as it’s still a great single. The “R.E.S.P.E.C.T.” remix here is wicked, pretty similar to the original…
Atom B – Dance the Night Away
I haven’t posted any obscure US stuff in a while, so here’s a track off an early rave comp. It’s by Atom B aka DJ Eddie Edul, a California DJ who is still active (presumably playing current club stuff now). Eddie Edul also did a full EP on the same label which I’ve never heard,…
DJ Panik – Panik’s Revenge
Here’s another good 94 EP, one that’s easier to find than the Junglist EP I posted yesterday. Hyper Records put out some nice early EPs like The X Men “My Sound Rule” EP I posted last year. This is one of my favorites on the label, a 4 tracker with decent variety between the tracks.…

The Junglist – Aliens Pt. 1
Here’s a jungle tune from 94 which sounds more like something from 1992… super low fi choppy breaks + heavy heavy bass. I’m not sure if this is by the same “The Junglist” as on F Project, as the production doesn’t really sound that similar. The Junglist – JSI001 B2
Atomik – Battle of the Satelittes
Here’s another big catchy 92 style tune, but from 93. Atomik did a number of great singles, including a six track EP I’ve been getting a fair bit of play from recently and an earlier 3 track EP which is also pretty nice. The label which released this (Strong Island) is also pretty underrated, having…
