Here’s the blog to the oldskool set from last Sunday on jungletrain. I know I seem to post more of these sets than tunes these days, but this is my favorite one I’ve recorded in a while. Chock full of personal fav tunes, including some well known tracks (the opening Peshay, Liftin Spirits etc) as…

Renegade – Jump
It’s funny how, being in the States, there’s a lot of cool and ridiculously cheap tracks I end up missing out on because 1. I can’t find them here 2. I don’t make it to the UK much and 3. the cost to ship them over from the UK massively dwarfs the record cost itself.…
Original DJ Vibes – Grown In the Jungle
Here’s a great 94 jungle track by Original DJ Vibes, certainly one of the more underrated and prolific oldskool producers out there. Producing from the early 92 hardcore days (those first few EPs are quite crucial in my view), up through the 96 era, Original DJ Vibes (maybe named such due to the more happy…
Kristine W – Feel What You Want (Jungle Remix)
Here’s a tune I’ve had stuck in my head for some time now, and consider a pretty fun remix. It keeps things pretty stripped down and tasteful beat-wise, leaving the original tune’s vocals and synths to take prominence in the track (as they should). That being said, the tune being remixed here is essentially euro-house,…
Mystical – Try So Hard
It’s kind of dreary day today here, so here’s a tune to match…. as played in Sunday’s 94-95 radio show, it’s a 94 deep and dreary track by Mystical. I’ve got no idea who Mystical was. but I’ve got a bunch of records by him on Stooge Productions, so I assume he was an associate…
Ride C – Jungle Pressure
Here’s an exceptional underrated 94 banger from a small label called Quality Control. This EP is the first of just a couple releases on that label, and it’s definitely a strong start. On the A side (featured here) we get a deep-n-dark think & cold sweat breakbeat flex-out, drenched in delay with ominous synths and…
Aka Bu – Jungle Vibes
Here’s another obscurity I dug up a while back, one for the jungle nerds (like me) looking to hear those last few records no one really knows. Since there wasn’t any audio of it on the net, I ripped the whole thing and posted it on youtube rather than just ripping one track for the…
DJ Gunshot – Wheel and Deal
I was about to post a less known DJ Gunshot tune, but I might as well post his big anthem. If you’ve listened to any decent amount of 94-95 jungle, there’s no way you’ve escaped hearing some mix of this tune. It kind of epitomizes the most crowd pleasing aspects of 94-95 jungle: r+b vocals,…
T.H.C. – Sunshine (Jo Remix)
Having realised that it has been a while since I contributed to this place, I looked through my recent CD purchases to see what good tunes (that wouldn’t get the blog removed) I could post. This one was a good shout because it takes the original hardcore Roy Ayers sampling track by T.H.C. (Slipmatt &…
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,…
