As mentioned in yesterday’s tracklist, here’s an “unknown” tune from the last Blog to the Oldskool set. It contrasts nicely with that first tune (Dom + Roland “bells”), which is just an amazing, well produced classic jungle tune that is well known and somewhat in demand these days for very good reason (you don’t see…

Pathfinder – Chartist EP
Here’s an interesting single I picked up at Notting Hill Gate MVE on my recent UK trip. I couldn’t find any audio online, so rather than just ripping one tune I ripped and posted all 3 tracks on YouTube (embedded below), might post one of the tunes here later when I decide which one. I…
Scratch C & Shaka Black – Dread Ah Star
I’m actually in the UK right now, checking Bangface Weekender this weekend. This trip, I decided to chuck a tiny portable record player in my bag, so I could play and even rip records during any down time. Well, it’s Sunday night and despite being in London it seems there’s not much going on, so…
Logic of Smithy – “Barry” “Terry”
It’s been a long time since I posted a tune, so here’s a seriously rare obscurity… some might say obscure-for-the-sake-of-obscure 🙂 It’s a bit of a novelty single, using samples from the Harry Enfield show in a manner similar to classic first-name-shouted tracks like Johnny Jungle “Johnny”, Subnation “Scotty”, and Remarc “Ricky”. Despite that, the…
Fallout – Lullaby
Here’s a fun tune that pops up for cheap fairly often, which I finally nabbed recently. It’s produced by DJ Fallout, of “Storm Warning” and many excellent collab tunes with Tango fame. In fact, this track features the same ominous pads used in Tango & Fallout – Positive Chaos, a quite well known and in…
Bad Bone & Tyrel – I Wanna Sex U Up
I haven’t posted a tune in ages, so yesterday I walked over to my crates and pulled a record entirely at random. I didn’t really like that first record though, so I grabbed the record next to it, which was this one. Here’s one of the countless fast and naughty jungle re-licks cranked out on…
Blog to the Oldskool Radio – September 7th 2014
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…
Trek РUltime Fronti̬re
Here’s a hidden gem from 1995, a vibey jungle track which only featured on two different jungle comps (one on vinyl, one CD). No idea where the original artist was from, but it was mixed + engineered by Matt aka Optical of Ed Rush + optical fame. Definitely worth picking up as the comp it’s…
Destruction – Rollin Stock
Any time I flake on posting on this site for an extended period of time (more than 5 days or so), I try to post a personal fav or something a bit special when I pick it up again. Hopefully this tune counts; in my opinion, it’s one of the better hidden gems as far…
Bass Thieves – The Time is Now
This tune is a bit more straightahead and steppy than I usually go for in 95 tracks, but it’s well done and worth checking for sure. “Time is Now” uses the classic Lafayette Afro Rock Band – Darkest Light Horn snippet, as used previously in Dance Conspiracy – Dub War, and before that, by Public…
