With the crazy prices most 94-95 jungle is going for, it’s probably worth posting some nice cheaper unknown things – though almost all jungle has risen quite a bit the past few years, there’s still some obscurities going for next to nothing. In this case, at the time of posting this, this EP has 8…

Poetiq Mindz – Good Loving
Here’s a nice one-off jungle EP that’s reasonably cheap and slept on. All four tracks are extra vibey uplifting stuff, no crazy amens in sight (which is probably why it hasn’t jumped up in price a lot), just lots of laid back think break, pianos and pads. No info at all on the artists unfortunately…if…

Interception – Let Me Know
I’ve had this tune stuck in my head for a week now…. haunting 94 jungle which uses that “let me know” acapella, adding a somber melody which fits the vocal perfectly – an excellent combo which more than compensates for the less than exciting (but still decent) break programming. What makes this so special is…
Mad Dog – Monged Out
Here’s a wicked release by Mad Dog, known best for their tune “My God”. Both producers behind “Mad Dog” have quite a few good releases to their names – Dave Wallace did tunes as The Rave Doctor, Fugitive (“Mind Games”), Regel Alliance (“Sometimes”), under his own name on Moving Shadow, plus continues to do releases…
X Rated – Limited Time
I could have sworn I already posted this…. “Limited Time” is a wicked 94 amen track that distinguishes itself with some scratching integrated with the beats and some choice sampling. Specifically, we get the Paris sample “I understand that time is running out…”, plus that eerie synth/vocal part whose source I can’t remember right now,…
DJ Chemistry – Experiment 2
I dug this out today and had a good listen its a great 12″ from 1993. Its a strange label as its labeled as Experiment 2 but on the flip its Chemisrty Records. A1 features a sample’s from snap – rhythm is a dancer (yeh you know the one) & Arrested Development’s – Man’s Final…
Europe Trip finds, vol 1 – London Bargain bins
Since I just got back from a 3 week vacation across Europe, I’ll probably be posting a lot about my various record finds from there over the next few weeks. First up is the UK.. Anybody into jungle who has been to UK record shops over the past few years knows that hardcore has gotten…
DJ Fokus
DJ Fokus is without a doubt one of my favorite of the lesser known 93-95 artists. Originally releasing on the label Blueprint Records, his first release “The Theme” bw “Disengaged” is an in-demand amen smasher, fetching high prices these days. He followed this EP up with a solo outing on the same label, before releasing…
Mind Therapy, Part 2
I already did an entry on Mind Therapy, but only scratched the surface w/ the one EP mentioned there (admittedly a great record). Here’s several more bits of their stuff. Their first EP was on the Jack In The Box label. This label was more of a distributor (I’ve definitely seen a sticker from them…
