Here’s something I ripped ages ago but then forgot about… I’ve had it stuck in my head the past few days though, so give it a listen! Classic track by a beyond-classic artist on an underrated label (Limited E Edition, the sub-label to Ibiza), this has a lot of the classic Ibiza elements down –…

Theory – Funkin Since 11
Damn, back to slacking with the tune posts…. here’s an odd obscure-for-the-sake-of tune to make up for it. No idea about this one, other than I’d never seen it before so took a chance on it. It’s supposedly a US record (according to Discogs), though I don’t remember whether there was any indication about that…
Original DJ Vibes – Skin Up
It’s been quite a while since I’ve been motivated to post a tune on here. Last night I was rooting around a bit and found this tune, and couldn’t wait to play it in a DJ set. Original DJ Vibes is a really underrated producer in my opinion, from earlier hardcore days through to jungle…
The First Instalment – Enity A1
Here’s an interesting mega-obscurity supposedly on Entity Records. I’ve only ever seen two copies before. Gotta say, it’s one of these ones where you can kind of understand why it didn’t get a full release, but still it’s a fun tune with some nice moments and an absurd amount of samples chucked in the fray.…
X Amount Crew – “can’t do it alone” [unreleased, 1993]
A little story of an unreleased tune, MC Navigator, and sound clash culture of the 1980s…
DJ Kev – Happy Trax Vol 2
In preparation for Tim and I doing another darkside-meets-happy set (this time w/ me doing the happy stuff), here’s a happy favorite from quite early in the genre (93). I wish I could take credit for dredging this up myself, but I’m pretty sure it was in some Easygroove set or another, no doubt mixed…
Redskins & Dan Man – Don’t Worry
I’ll be the first to admit that, when it comes to what I post on this site, things aren’t exactly weighted with regard to actual jungle history. Though basically all this music is from that era, and there’s lots of cool and interesting stuff here (I wouldn’t bother posting it otherwise!), these tracks are all…
Swift & Zinc – Other Side of the Moon
Here’s a personal favorite I’ve had for ages and ages, to the point I can’t even remember when and where I got it! I do remember it was in my first ever oldskool mix I recorded (alongside hyper-on, that cymbols of raveology tune and plenty of other stuff I’ve written about on this site) many…
Persons Unknown – Release Yourself
Here’s a favorite of mine (aren’t they all?), on the Parliament Label which was Rob Haigh from Omni Trio’s label, and a sublabel of his in-house label, Parliament Music. According to Discogs, this release is by the crew who did the Skyo and Mak and DBL Productions tunes on the label. On Discogs and RDB,…
Elis Dee feat Tera – Can’t Believe It’s Real
Here’s a personal favorite from 1993. Ellis Dee really killed it from 92-95: the Ellis Dee Project, Rhythm Section stuff, those Whitehouse + related jungle eps. This is one of my favorites, done in conjunction with Tera aka Tobie of Serial Killaz. It was quite hard to pick a side to post – the flip…
