This track is probably a lot more well known than most stuff I post, but I’ve had it at the front of my crates for a while and it’s still a relatively small label release so up it goes. Before Dillinja helped spearhead the whole crazy tearout banger style of DNB, he did quite a…

Chuck E – Smokin’ A Blunt
I just took the week off due to being burned out from that NY NASA party as well as the Mark Archer show I did in Boston… back with a vengeance this week though, starting with this absolutely killer pretty in-demand jungle track. Pretty much all the components of this track are nice/well chosen and…
Jack Horner – After Midnight
Longtime personal favorite here, and a cheap one at that! as I’ve written about before, Jack Horner has a high “hit/miss” ratio in terms of releases – just a few under his own name (this self titled on face I posted years ago, plus two including this one on his label Spectrum), but they’re all…
Tuff to the Bone – Dancehall Junglist
Here’s the first record on the ragga jungle label Slam! records. It’s no secret that as pricey as some oldskool jungle is, if you chuck some some toasting samples on top and make sure the track has amens in it, a bunch of north american kidds in camo pants will materialize out of nowhere and…
Skeeta Ranks – I Like it (Jungle Mix)
After jungle first started blowing up in 94/95, lots of jungle remixes began popping up on more mainstream hiphop and rnb releases. Already featured heavily on UK pressed dancehall releases by labels like Jet Star and Fashion, these new remixes were a bit more dodgey since they were a mixture of original/legit heads and opportunistic…
Alex Reece & Wax Doctor – Frequency
Here’s a bit of a slow burner on the underappreciated Radioactive Kids label (which is actually a sublabel of Creative Wax…click that link and buy some excellent oldskool mp3s legit!). Neither Alex Reece nor Wax Doctor need much in the way of introduction, two artists who did great early tunes on labels like Basement/Sound Entity,Liquid…
DJ Dextrous & Rude Boy Keith – Lovable
This tune isn’t exactly obscure, in fact it’s quite well known and recognizable as far as jungle tracks go. Released on the ace “King of the Jungle” label, it was also pressed on the “Drum & Bass Selection 1” comp on Breakdown Records, a label Dan Donnelly of Suburban Base ran to release chart-busting compilations…
Cool Hand Flex – Yeh Yeh
Got a feeling this one will be up some people’s alley… scored it recently for a pound 20, not the best condition (hence the rice crispies in the rip) but definitely still playable and a NICE tune for sure. Cool Hand Flex is an absolutely ace producer whose tunes stretch from 91 till current day.…
DJ Peekay – Deep Physics
Really nice underrated release here in my opinion… deep well chopped 94 jungle which, as the comment on discogs says, wouldn’t sound too out of place on Dee Jay, Lucky Spin or Force 10. Peekay also did a 92 single on Boogie Times which is great, in fact not only was it a toss up…
Gunstar Hero’s – Did You Love Me?
Thanks to my buddy Alfredo aka MC Assassin in Rotterdam for reminding me of this tune on facebook… I picked this up a few years ago and never saw fit to post it, but it’s a cool EP worth checking out regardless of which 94 styles you’re into. By an unknown artist on a one-off…
