Here’s a moderately well known darkside EP, prob best known for one tune being included in a number of Kickin related jungle comps. The tune that usually shows up everywhere is “Hideaway”, which is a quite good darkside jam (with someber synths, matching female vox and cut up kickback breakbeat). I thought about posting that…

Dillinja – From Beyond
It’s kind of crazy how many tunes Karl Francis aka Dillinja put out between 1993 and 1994… between his labels Cybotron, Deadly Vinyl, Logic Productions and Lionheart, Dillinja must have either been living in a studio or super quick and efficient and cranking these tracks out. You can kind of hear the latter in this…
Thunderhead – Untitled (Lost In Time EP)
Serious nasty darkside here, with co-production by Skanna. This “Lost In Time” EP highlights the darker 93 sound which is all the rage these days, in addition to being one of the tougher to find plates of that era (though far from the rarest). For some reason, I think I remember hearing that Thunderhead was…
Utomica – Rok A Bye
Here’s a definite classic which was on my wantlist for years. I finally just picked it up on vinyl as part of a big order I got in December (x-mas present to myself). I think hearing this over and over in a Doc Scott mix from 92 was what pushed me over the edge to…
Total Vision EP
Apologies for the crackly rip of this one, my copy of this EP has seen better days… I’m posting it anyway though since it’s a Total TOON! Also it’s not exactly cheap / easy to find. No artist behind this EP that I know of, I think it was a favorite with Ratty, at least…
Silver Fox – Dread By Dawn EP
I think someone mentioned this EP in the comments of this site a few years back – it’s a really solid 4-tracker of darkside stuff, on a relatively small label (Three Scars only did one other EP, with DJ Pilgrim). While there’s nothing incredibly different going on here, all tracks have that nice combo of…
DJ Deckjammer – Prince of Darkness
Everything is getting dark… here’s a real darkside gem that seems to be going for quite cheap these days? Pretty sure I played this (or perhaps the VIP) on my halloween darkside special back around Halloween. No idea who Deckjammer was, there’s 3 releases on this label though all of which are pretty good (though…
Blog to the Oldskool Radio – November 7th
Here’s the set for jungletrain this last Wednesday, November 7th. I think it turned out to be a pretty well rounded selection of stuff from the blog ( click through on the tracklisting to get to the tunes), augmented with vinyl and a few curveballs tracks (someone mentioned a grime track in chat so I…
Psychic Parasite – Re-Animator EP
I’m a big fan of Biochip C’s breakbeat stuff, as evidenced by the number of great tunes I’ve already posted by him in various guises. This is one of my favorite EPs by him, a strong 5 tracker where EVERY track is a killer. Not sure how it would fit into uk stuff at the…
Da Dread – Subconscious Fears
Well, that was a nice vacation from posting… time to start chucking tunes up again though! Be sure to check the site next few days, I’m going to try to post a fair bit of stuff. First up, a nice 93 track all about the drum programming/processing. Amens get pitched up and down, doubled up,…
