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…

Harlequin – Fuck You And Your Family
It’s Christmas Eve, rather than posting an X-mas track like Santa Hardcore and the 7 Midgets, here’s a totally crazy 95 amen smasher for people who don’t see their family much and are currently being reminded why. Some aggressive choppy intro beats lead to a vocal snippet of Robert Deniro from “the Untouchables”, crashing into…
Baraka – I’ll Be There
Out of all the tunes I bought on this recent UK trip, this might just be my favorite… absolutely lurvely deep 95 intelligent jungle which was rumored to be by Jonny L (who did a remix for Boogie Beat around that time), but according to a friend of the producer was actually by Kid Andy…
The Dub Technicians – Analogue Pressure
One for the deep choppy break crew…. 94 jungle track by the killer combo of A-Sides and E-Type. Released on Strictly Underground sublabel Rollin Records, “Analogue Pressure” combines heavily edited layered breaks with orchestra stabs, deep pads, and, as the title indicates, sick analog squelches. This sort of deep atmospheric 94-95 stuff doesn’t seem to…
Unknown Artist (Cult – MZN 3547 / MZN 3548 )
I wasn’t lying about that 1+ post a day thing… starting things off with a crazy good not-so-well-known single from Germany. This Cult EP tends towards the more hard,experimental side of things – the other side has more chunky less breaky tunes, but these two tracks do it for me – total choppy break madness,…
JMJ & Richie – Trouble in China
Here’s a great oft-overlooked tune from Moving Shadow. I typically don’t post their stuff for legal reasons (it’s all for sale already on beatport etc), but I’m going to start featuring youtube clips of some Shadow and Suburban Base favs occasionally, along with links to the mp3 stores that sell them… definitely worth buying these…
Heavyweight – Vol 2
I’m pretty sure this track will be up a lot of people’s alley… absolutely massive amen smasher with choppy breaks, huge subby bass, good atmosphere sounds and a vocal sample which I think was also used in a classic Legend recs tune (the name of it is escaping my mind, I know at least it…
Potential Bad Boy feat MC Det – Rollin’
If you read this blog, chances are you’re at least somewhat amenable to 94/95 choppy ragga jungle tracks… in which case, you’ll probably be happy with today’s post. It’s a one-off release by Potential Badboy on his own label Jekyll & Hyde , which he relaunched more recently as a Ganja Records sublabel. Vocals in…
Eddie – Intelligent Drummer (Steve Gurley Remix)
I suppose I could try to write up something about how important Steve Gurley was as a member of Foul Play and for his later music which was massively influential. Instead, I’ll give you a detailed look into the deep critical process and internal dialogue which went into picking and posting this track today: “Hmmm,…
Vicious Crew – No Politics Vol. 2
Tonight’s tune is some seriously chopped hardcore/jungle from a crew of 3 producers, including someone related to the Ibiza/Noise Factory records camp: Big Vern aka Colin Biggerstaff. Colin also did EPs on Boogie Beat, Camden Tunes, World Bass, etc. I can’t say I’m the biggest fan of the first Vicious Crew EP, it’s good but…
