Here’s a nasty 94 amen smasher I nabbed recently… big synths lead off the track along with the vibettes humpty dump break (as used by Photek), before the “ease yourself into consciousness” vocal drops and massive chopped amens come crashing down. Great stuff, also a cheap and easy to find single. N-Zo & DJ Invincible…

DJ Rap – Your Mind (Gimp & Steve C Mix)
My turntable needles are still gone, so here’s an rip I did for my own listening purposes ages ago… it actually fits in very well with what I’ve been posting a lot of lately: singles which, by virtue of not being particularly rare or well known, are super cheap and in heavy supply despite being…
Mole The Dipper – Eye of the Dinosaur + Remix
Here’s two of my personal favorites… when it comes to fast, crazy, choppy 92-94 hardcore/jungle, Mole The Dipper is one of the best. If I had to compare his tracks to anyone else, the closest I could get would be Bizzy B… however they definitely have their own sound. “Eye of the Dinosaur” is a…
Persian Prince – The Gorgon Wise EP
I had no idea about this record, checked it out since I didn’t recognize the title and was not disappointed – weird and cool ragga jungle engineered by Bizzy B. The timestretched vocal bit reminds me of Formula 7 “Timestretch the Bass”, and while I probably like that tune a bit more overall, this track…
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…
Capone – Massive
Here’s an alltime jungle anthem by some dude named DILLINJA… maybe you’ve heard of him??? I lost this record sometime while I was in college but managed to rebuy it a few years later. It’s the first release for Hardleaders and I can’t imagine a stronger start for a label. All the sample elements are…
Bizzy B – Infactuation
Here’s a wicked track by Bizzy B, one of the absolute best jungle producers and one of the primary creators and innovators of the entire “mashed up jungle” sound. He’s also one of the nicest producers I’ve met. I remember years ago buying records direct from him in his studio, getting so wrapped up in…
DJ AKA – Farside
Here’s one of my favorite 93 tracks… moody hardcore/jungle with tasteful orchestra stabs, brooding soundtrack ambience and fantastic sharp choppy drums layered perfectly by Pete Parsons. There’s a breakdown halfway through where you can practically hear the more euphoric 92 sounds of hardcore melting away into 94 darkside, as the classic “rush!” and “do it…
Formula 7 – Throwback
Here’s a nice Bizzy B engineered number I rescued from a bargain bin 2 weeks ago… Formula 7 put out some quality singles like “Time Stretch The Bass” and “Not Just Ragga”. This one has the standard Bizzy-engineered break craziness. Formula 7 – Throwback
DJ Devine & Essence – Ease Up
This is one of my favorite tracks on Production House, super choppy cut up breakbeat goodness. The 94 Production House stuff doesn’t seem to be nearly as in demand as the earlier releases, which is a shame because they put out some wicked tracks like this one. Starting with some dicey amen snares, the breaks…
