For those who may not know this about me, I am a massive Digital fan. I’d probably put him in my top 5 of producers, he’s managed to retain a style & quality in his tracks since he began up until now, whilst keeping up with the changing times. He’s also got a staggering workrate,…

Ramos + Supreme – The Journey, Pt 1
Gotta love these singles you know for one track but where another one ends up being your favorite… you might buy it for one reason and then later find out somewhere else on the EP is a tune you’ve heard in mixes but never quite knew before. That’s definitely the case with this Ramos +…
Uncle 22 – Free
Strictly Hardcore compilations are a goldmine for excellent hardcore/jungle tunes. These comps save you having to dig through the entire back catalogue of Strictly Underground to find the killers – not like that an unpleasant chore, as it’s a solid label, but there is a lot of music to go through. These comps also offer…
DJ Rap – Digable Bass (Heaven Remix)
Here’s a remix by DJ Rap and Voyager (plus supposedly an uncredited contribution by Lennie De Ice) of a tune originally written by Rap and Aston for her Proper Talent label. While the original of “Digable Bass” is already great, this remix really builds it up to new heights. A lush half-tempo intro leads into…
Darkman – I’m Gonna Get You
I went to post this and noticed I’ve already posted two other Darkman tracks before – his earlier record on Rinse Out right before this, and a tune by an unrelated artist on Sapho (great sparse 92 weirdness). This one is a 95 monster though, though it was released in 96 according to discogs. Most…
Mad Dog – Secret Garden
So about this track: it’s a 1993 dark/mellow amen one, produced by Mad Dog a.k.a Shaun O’ Hara and Dave Wallace, who went on to become a member of famous trio Aquasky. But before that, him and Shaun were putting out tunes like My God, Fugitive (under the Fugitive alias), Rumbled, Control International and many…
DJ Infinity & Back to Basics – People of Paradise
I got caught up watching a Robocop marathon Saturday, which made me start searching for a particular tune I remembered that sampled it… turned out to be this one. In my mind, there’s three basic “cheat codes” to winning classic hardcore/jungle: 1. Sample Predator 2. Sample Aliens or 3. Sample Robocop. This track uses the…
Anthony X-Cursa – Mind Control
Here’s a great 95 tune which is reasonably easy/cheap to find. Choppy but sparse intro beats roll along with C+C Music Factory Vocals on top (the same acapella as “through the vibe”, though diced a lot more here). Finally massive amens bash their way in alongside subby bass, crash accents and a number of spacey…
E.O.V. – Give It Up
Amen fans, today is your day… some serious 1995 choppy jungle here! No idea who wrote this EP, however I played the b side of this on one of my last jungletrain radio shows. that side is a great track for mixing, with a drop full of absurd pitched amen snare rolls that sound absolutey…
BV – Vision
This is one of those personal favorites I’m a little reticent to post since it’s not an easy/cheap tune to find and isn’t so widely known. Luckily for you guys, I ripped this a while back and am too sick/busy/lazy today to rip something else, so up it goes. “Vision” is a deep 95 amen…
