Here’s a classy 92 tune which, if not known by name, many would definitely recognize from mixes – Seduction, Top Buzz and plenty of others top DJs played this back in 92. “Unite” is yet more wickedness from the 786/Deja Vu Recordings camp, who did “Started Again” as well as numerous other classics. No idea…

Funky T – The Guvnor
Here’s a fun 92 whitelabel I don’t hear much mention of, though Mickey Finn and Kenny Ken both used to play it. The artist behind this (DJ Funky T) went on to do a solid EP on No U Turn, but this one is a bit rougher / definitely 92 white label style. “The Guvnor”…
2 Hi – Jump A Little Hi-er
Here’s a tune 100% removed from that last DJ Rap tune Tim posted… a fun cheesy banging 92 Dutch rave track. This probably won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but I’ve had it stuck in my head from some early US mix so up it goes. As the title indicates, this tune swipes the “jump,…
Eat Life – Digital Fish
Here’s a fun track I put in my mix for beantownboogiedown last year… despite the fast tempo and presence of breaks, “Digital Fish” is sort of a techno/hardcore/jungle hybrid, “jungle techno” without sounding that similar to Ron Wells/Basement Records stuff (though that’s what I’m most tempted to mix it with). Produced by Nick Power (who…
Sub Love – Maniac Music
Wow, I can’t believe I’ve gone 5 years writing this blog without posting about Sub Love… I think I’ve been subconsciously holding off just so I’d have something special to post on a rainy day. Well today looks pretty miserable out, so I guess now is as good a time as any! Sub Love was…
Donovan Badboy Smith – Obsession (Yolk Remix)
OK, back to tunes which I want to post because they’re actually good 🙂 This tune involves two of my favorite oldskool DJs of that era: Donovan Badboy Smith and Yolk (DJ Milf). Smith was a resident at a lot of the big raves of that era (including Obsession, which this tune might be named…
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…
Detromental – X Amount of Respect
Since Tim’s going to have the 95/96 stuff covered nicely for a bit, here’s another 92 white label ripper… this time more of an in-demand one which has always been a bit pricey/hard to nab, though I was finally able to score it earlier this year on-the-reasonable. Detromental did a number of other whitelabels which…
PHP – Iree
Here’s a pretty obscure fun ragga hardcore EP I nabbed a while ago… I’d never heard it in mixes but found it while grabbing a couple other records from someone online. Honestly I could see how it might not be for everyone as it’s not a super polished hardcore tune or full of crazy samples……
Strange Loop – Random Access
Here’s an obscure 92 whitelabel I bought at some point because I mistook it for another whitelabel…oops. Still, this A-side tune is a lot of fun, perhaps too much so! “Random Access” is a total sample-fest primarily centered on the melody from Xpansions – Move Your Body, though there’s all sorts of vocal snippets chucked…
