My buddy Geoff / G-White just posted the first part in a series on the Jungle/Drum & Bass scene here in Boston. Really nice stuff so far, short and to the point with excellent flyers and photos from parties. Of particular interest to me since I’m from here, but some of you might also be…

DJ Cherokee – Headstrong
Here’s a nice never-before-released tune from 92 which I saw posted a few places (b2vos, discogs)… definitely worth nabbing while it’s available. Originally the artist wanted to do a limited vinyl press, unfortunately I don’t think the demand was what he wanted. As mentioned in the last post, 92 stuff doesn’t seem to be as…

8205-002 Update: E+HP “Dreadkiller” EPs in stock/shipping
Good news: 8205-002, the Exodus + Head Pressure “Dreadkiller” EPs have arrived! According to Simon at Seventh Storey, they’re sounding just like the test press, no colored vinyl funkiness (phew).

Supertouch “Dreams” (KVA002) Back for Sale & Giveaway
Back in July, I posted about the new Supertouch “Dreams” EP which was released on KVA002. This was an entirely pre-release funded record, where all copies were bought up before the pressing even happened. That record has since been released, and, as expected, looks and sounds great. However, as often happens during the pressing process,…

Big News: 8205 Recordings / Mixrace – Unreleased 1993/1994 Tracks
After six years of running this site, I’m breaking out of the strictly digital realm and starting a label called 8205 Recordings. The goal of 8205 is to unearth select hardcore/jungle tunes from 1991-1995 that never made it off dubplate or DAT, and press them to vinyl. Each release will be limited to between 100…

Sad news from Nebkins.. I was notified on my Facebook yesterday of the extremely sad news that Chris Savage passed away suddenly on Saturday 25th January. He was 34. For those that didn’t know of him, Chris ran the hugely influential “Sav’s Jungle Tekno Zone” website back in the late 90’s and early 2000’s which…
