Back to the more serious hardcore… this tune is an absolute VIBEZ. No Noise was a label run by L Double that did a lot of underrated tunes, and as a whole the EP is kind of housey and the other tracks on it aren’t as successful in my opinion… but this track is a…

Free Spirit – Optical Illusion
I’ve been kind of slow to upload lately since my main PC died, I can rip vinyl from my laptop but the software I wrote which auto-tags / labels /adds artwork to mp3s the way I like isn’t on this machine. So the ID3 tags are gonna be a bit weird for a while. Anyway,…
Teknarchi (aka Optical)
Long before he started putting out techstep jams, Optical (of Ed Rush & Optical fame) put out some tight tunes under several other aliases – Little Matt, Teknarchi, HEAD F.U.K.,even some suprisingly quality oldschool happy hardcore tunes as Just Another Artist. Here’s a couple of nice dark jungle tracks he put out: Teknarchi- Flashback Teknarchi…
BTTO Radio Shows 1-22-2017
Here’s the archives for the Jungletrain shows from two Sundays ago – thanks to everyone who locked. Tim hit it out of the park with his atmospherical set. Mine was a bit more of a mixed bag of styles, from 93 darkness and jungle techno up through ripping techno, but I’m really happy with the…
BTTO Radio Sets August 7th 2016
BTTO Radio is back tomorrow, August 21st at 5pm EST / 10pm UK on jungletrain.net. Both Tim and I are playing stuff more on the darkside of things. In the meantime, here’s the sets from the last show. I really dug Tim’s set and it’s got a fair bit of play (from me and others).…
Trek – Ultime Frontière
Here’s a hidden gem from 1995, a vibey jungle track which only featured on two different jungle comps (one on vinyl, one CD). No idea where the original artist was from, but it was mixed + engineered by Matt aka Optical of Ed Rush + optical fame. Definitely worth picking up as the comp it’s…
Area 39 – Clint
Unfortunately I couldn’t scrounge any site content together for Halloween this year – I was planning on doing another dark hardcore set (this time 91/92 stuff), but was busy with real life stuff and it looks like Jerome Hill beat me to it on his Kool FM radio show. As a last minute consolation prize,…
Blog to the Oldskool Radio Sept 30th 2013 (96-98 dnb special)
Here’s the session from last Sunday, rerecorded because I forgot to press “record” when it was live on the air… did this in one take before heading out to a party last night, no volume correction but I cut a couple of offending measures out of the mix before mp3-izing. Overall I’d say it’s a…
Blog to the Oldskool Radio – August 25th, 2013 (1992-1993)
Here’s the jungletrain radio show from two weeks ago… I forgot to press record when it was on the air, so I’ve kept the records around in a crate meaning to rerecord it in some form. It’s almost time for the next radio show so I finally gave it a quick try last night, leaving…
Area 39 – Attitude
Here’s an underrated 94 tune which I played on Sunday’s Radio show. Unlike the first couple EPs, some of the 94-95 Bear Necessities tunes are really excellent, especially ones Matt Quinn (aka Optical) was involved with: NUT-E 1 & Technarchy – Tuneful / You Cannot EP, Matt’s Head F.U.K. EP, Phat + Futuristic EP, and…
