Here’s a track I played during Wednesday’s jungletrain.net stream on vinyl. Someone also asked about it in the comments, so here it is! Yet another obscenely cheap great 94 tune, which I think goes for so little since it’s on a relatively large press label (Back 2 Basics) coupled with not being in many huge…

Half Pint – Greetings Jungle
Here’s an ace dollar bin find from my last UK trip… a nice summery ragga jungle tune, the regular press just had the vocal version but there’s also an instrumental on the version I got (greetings jungle). Maybe I should have posted the instrumental instead (to flex that this is the rarer copy of the…
The Dok – Strings of Life 94
OK, I feel like I’ve been wimping out a bit the past few weeks on posts, so here’s a nice crowd pleaser of a track… Grant Nelson aka Wishdokta’s cheeky 94 jungle remix of the classic Derrick May tune “Strings of Life”. I could say more, but I’m hoping you already clicked “play” or “download”…
Mega City 2 – Spice (Unreleased 1994 Jungle)
Here’s a special treat for you guys… an unreleased 1994 dubplate by Mega City 2, who I’ve previously posted a few tunes by. This is a one-off dubplate that got made in 1994, according to the guy who posted a link up: It was amongst a batch of 100 Acetates that were stored in a…
Intense – Time Space Continuum
Sorry for the lack of posts, I’ve been stuck with more audio ripping issues… digital clicks all over the place, both through a USB->audio preamp device (clicks whenever a reasonably loud signal goes through), and through a standard USB recording device (random digital clips). I *think* I’ve got it kicked now, using an old laptop…
DJ Dub Rush – Da Gathering
Here’s a quality 94 darkside jam I’ve been hoarding. Evil Dead 2 samples, some nicely panned think-work and eerie synths, everything you could want in a seriously dark jungle track – up there with the darkest creepiest stuff by Mega City 2, Love Dove Jay, etc. Dub Rush did a bunch of great singles on…
DJ Syko – Ruffage 2 The System
Here’s a frantic 94 track by DJ Syko of Syko & Mak / Parliament Records fame, on the Parliament sublabel Candidate Records. Nowhere near as sampleadelic as his earlier singles, this tune combines choppy amens + funky mule break (a great combo) with some shrill siren noises and standard 94 pads, plus that “ow!” hit…
DJ Demo – Extreme EP
I’ve probably mentioned this before, but some of the best “hidden gem” hardcore/jungle tunes seem to be tracks which might get overlooked due to being labelled as happy hardcore – there simply aren’t nearly as many rare and in demand 94-95 happy hardcore tunes as there are jungle tracks. Here’s a perfect example of one…
DJ Infinity – Eternal
First post of the singles I nabbed on my UK trip, here’s a great little 94 EP from DJ Infinity aka Bill Vega, who more recently has done breaks tunes with Paul Smailes aka New Decade (pretty sure I posted a mix by them) and was otherwise involved with tracks on the out of romford…
Dimension 5 – Deep Bass Nine
Here’s a track I’ve been partial to for a while (you can tell since my copy sounds kind of tatty in the rip), and put in at least one mix a couple of years back. I was just reminded of it when I bought a record off Boykz, the original producer. Bokyz is also known…
