Here’s a nice EP I nabbed on my recent UK trip in a 20p bargain bin. As with the other Funky Technicians (aka Total Science) EPs of the time, it’s very much in the intelligent / good looking / smooth and vibey jungle style, though still a little bit rougher around the edges than their…

Fuze – Fluctuations
Here’s a 95 jungle tune for fans of GLR / atmospheric / intelligent stuff. Nothing crazy or extreme going on here, just pleasant melodic pads, rolling breaks and female vocals. The label this is on (On-Line Recordings) put out a handful of other similar style tracks 95-97, all quite cheap and easy to find these…
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…
Utomica – Rok A Bye
Here’s a definite classic which was on my wantlist for years. I finally just picked it up on vinyl as part of a big order I got in December (x-mas present to myself). I think hearing this over and over in a Doc Scott mix from 92 was what pushed me over the edge to…
Escape – Escape (The Optical Mix)
Back to the more serious hardcore… this tune is an absolute VIBEZ. No Noise was a label run by L Double that did a lot of underrated tunes, and as a whole the EP is kind of housey and the other tracks on it aren’t as successful in my opinion… but this track is a…
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…
Mysteron (The Invisible Man) – You Don’t Know
Here’s a great deep number by Graham Mew aka The Invisible Man aka Mysteron. Aside from producing some of the most memorable jungle tunes ever (“The Bell tune”, “The Beginning”, “The End”, etc), he also engineered tracks for Legend Records for quite a while, including a track called “Champion Sound” that some of you have…
MK 13 Feeling Magic
Here’s another early proto-intelligent track. I like a lot of these Rhythm Section related singles, but there’s so many of them (including some mediocre ones) that they bleed together a bit for me now. So I was pleasantly surprised when I accidentally pulled this record from my wall yesterday, intending to grab Drumatix – Crank…
