Here’s some quality 94 amen choppage. Nothing too out there, just well engineered beats, sick dred bass and, erm.. sex sounds. The bass and beats remind me a bit of DJ SS “Rollidge” or “Lighter”. Jack Ruby (AKA DJ Zinc) did a number of good 94 jungle EPs which are all somewhat under-appreciated and go…
Hannibal Lecter – Volume 1 & MC Lenny – AJD
Here’s a reasonably well known known but often overlooked release, the Hannibal Lecter EP. Grimey samples plus solid beats. I’ve got to admit that a lot of this charm in this track for me comes from the video game melody, but regardless of that, it’s a fun tune to throw into a mix. This tune…
Mole The Dipper – Eye of the Dinosaur + Remix
Here’s two of my personal favorites… when it comes to fast, crazy, choppy 92-94 hardcore/jungle, Mole The Dipper is one of the best. If I had to compare his tracks to anyone else, the closest I could get would be Bizzy B… however they definitely have their own sound. “Eye of the Dinosaur” is a…
MC Lethal – The Rave Digger (DJ SS Badboy Foundation Mix)
MC Lethal put out several wicked EPs on Network Records (a label whose other main rave credits include the bulk of Altern8’s material and Rhythm Quest “Closer To All Your Dreams”). My favorite remix is probably the 2 Bad Mice one on the remix EP, but this DJ SS remix is excellent as well. Lethal…
DJ Junk – Do It Do It
Here’s a wicked DJ Junk track I actually had never noticed before, but heard on some discogs forum recently (thanks to spa5tik0lonz for posting it)… it turns out I already had it on an LP reissue of DJ Junk tracks, an LP which btw is cheap, easy to find and a solid buy. Not only…
DJ Nasty V & DJ Ezee D – Chill & Destroy
Here’s a great track from the label Big Giant… it actually seems more in-line with the releases on their sister label Little Giant to me, as the stuff on there was more straightahead breakbeat hardcore wheras Big Giant had more releases with a hardcore technoey edge. I’ve posted a number of great Little Giant releases…
Oh-Bonic – Wicked
Here’s another track by Omar Santana (aka Liquid Metal, Dark Side of the Shroom, etc). Like the previously posted Liquid Metal EP, it’s a techno stormer not unlike “Visual attack” or “The Tingler”. One of the other EPs released under this alias had a rapper on top and sounded more than a little like Quadrophphonia…
Sayoko – Sukiyaki
Here’s an interesting 95 jungle EP I found which isn’t listed discogs or rolldabeats. It’s on the US label Radikal Records, which put out some US pressings of a number of great rave records (as well as some no-so-great ones). The main track on this EP is a reggae tune featuring a Japanese singer named…
Bush Baby – Mathematics
According to Wikipedia: Galagos, also known as bushbabies, bush babies or nagapies (meaning “little night monkeys” in Afrikaans), are small, nocturnal primates native to continental Africa, and make up the family Galagidae (also sometimes called Galagonidae). They are sometimes included as a subfamily within the Lorisidae or Loridae. According to some accounts, the name bush…
Es-Pee-Dee & Dj Distroi – Alphawave EP
Here’s an all-time classic that may be “played out” for some more clued in collectors (as it’s an absolute must-have) but it is definitely overlooked by more casual fans. “Alphawave” (actually an untitled A1 track on the EP, but referred to as by that name due to the vocal sample in it) is simplicity itself…
