Here’s some early ragga jungle stuff that’s probably not too well known. In my opinion this isn’t one of the strongest Kemet EPs (or the best by Redskins), but the nonstop frantic toasting throughout and the gunshot samples definitely make it well worth checking. Redskins – Gun

Capone (Dillinja) – Black Wax EP
Just got this recently, a great early Dillinja single from 93 under his Capone alias. Quite a lot of Dillinja’s early productions were amen smashers, and while there’s some good amen tracks on this EP, this is a darker tune with breaks similar to the intro of Edge of Darkness “Hellraiser”. As with the label…
JDS – Classified
Oh well, so much for that experiment.. no point in posting every day if there’s so few comments/replies to any of my posts… back to haphazard schedule. Here’s a track that’s worth the wait though! I previously posted a youtube of this track here, in a piece about Zero B Lock-Up (which this track as…
Chemical Vacation – Real Style
Looks like I’m up to post 499 on here… not sure what I can post up for that 500th one to make it special?? If any current or former hardcore/jungle/dnb producers have an unreleased tune from the 1991-95 era kicking around which they wouldn’t mind seeing made an exclusive, feel free to drop me a…
Medeema – Kumagen
Even though I stay away from posting big label stuff, it’s still been a while since i posted some massively obscure gem. Hopefully this track fits the bill – a total one off release, with an, erm, non-optimally produced vocal track on the B1 but otherwise two bangin hardcore/jungle jams contained within. The track posted…
Mystery Men – Inspiration
Here’s a nice white label I got off of a reader of this site who was getting rid of some less popular oldskool stuff. Most of the stuff on Flyte is pretty underrated with the exception of the Flyte EP – and while this EP might not be as manic as Distroi + Boykz’s “Jungle…
In Depth Perception – Rhizome
If you ask an oldskool fan about their favorite Lucky Spin records, they’d probably rattle off some combo of releases by artists like DJ Crystl, Orca, Trace or any of the other big acts which released on there. Much less likely to be mentioned: this one-off 93 EP by In Depth Perception… for about as…
Bass Selective – Jessica’s Jaw
From the mega-cheap-why-don’t-you-buy-this-record, to a pricier and harder to find bit from Bass Selective. Bass Selective is best known as being a project involving Mark Royal aka T Power aka best jungle album of all time (“self evident truth of an intuitive mind”) maker – that was a bit later in his career though (95)…
Nico – Mind Flux
Here’s a track I featured towards the end of my recent mix (posted below somewhere, err too lazy to link it), a cool techno track off the underappreciated techno/rave label ESP by Nico. Nico put out a number of good releases on this label, but sadly died many years ago. This tune is pretty atypical…
The Man From Formation – Darken You With My Presence EP
Here’s an absolute gem of 93 darkside … as far as Formation stuff goes, this is one of my favorites, and the fact that it’s not super rare and all 4 tracks are strong makes it pretty much a buy-on-sight record. Gachet even had a mix where he played 3 of the 4 tracks within…
