Here’s the session from last Sunday, rerecorded because I forgot to press “record” when it was live on the air… did this in one take before heading out to a party last night, no volume correction but I cut a couple of offending measures out of the mix before mp3-izing. Overall I’d say it’s a…

Facs – Journey Into Sound
Since I’ve been slack about rerecording the 96-98 set from Sunday, here’s one of my favorite tracks I played during it: a lesser known tune by Facs. This tune pretty much defines hardstep for me – a heavy steppy beat (based on that processed “Life Could” break which is all over 96-98 tracks), classic b-boy…
Flynn & Flora – New World
Bit of background info behind this one, Flynn & Flora are the duo of J. Thompson (brother of DJ Krust IIRC) & F. Fiakkas. They debuted on well known Bristol label Full Cycle & had a few releases on there, before setting up their own outlet for their tunes, called Independent Dealers, where they put…
Oscar Da Grouch – Some Where
Here’s an interesting US jungle track from 1996, by N2O-affiliated LA jungle producer Oscar DA Grouch. Despite being from 96, this tune sounds much more like a 92-93 tune to me, with extra raw sound and the most bare bones of samples. The other tracks on this EP are more in-line with jungle circa its…
Gang Related And Mask – Tear It Up
Normally this tune might have missed this website’s age cutoff by one year, but thanks to spinning Dara’s top notch 96 mix a bunch the past few days, I’m going to give it a pass. Here you have a wicked track by Gang Related and Mask, aka Roni Size and Krust of V Recordings fame.…
Marvellous Cain & Bizzy B – Everyday
Just got back from a great Cali trip, thanks to everyone in LA & San Francisco for the good time + great shows! Also good to finally meet my net-buddy Dave in person.. be sure to check his blog It’s After The End Of the World for all sorts of interesting tracks. While I was…
Vibrations (1996) now on Network Awesome
I posted last year about one of my favorite so-bad-it’s-good movies, Vibrations… well, Network Awesome has the whole thing up now. Enjoy!

DA + JMV – Koolectro
Here’s a strange record I took a chance on because I was already buying other tunes from someone selling it…. It’s not technically a 90-95 uk track, but sounds like it and was released around 96 in Canada. The EP features two tracks by the Centurions (which I can’t remember at all), and two tracks…
Mixrace & Proton Iso-Space – Kings
Here’s an underrated EP written some of my all-time favorite jungle producers: Mixrace (Dev Paradox & DJ Trax) and Hyper-on Experience . With that kind of talent you can guess the quality of the beats, and this single doesn’t dissapoint. This track is a bit more recent (96), so the music is a bit more…
