These days, it feels like it’s getting rarer and rarer to find an early 90’s jungle or hardcore related record without any audio online or without a bunch of the “usual suspects” liking and posting about it. Here’s one EP which is a notable exception, made even more surprising by the fact that it was…

Mad Bats – Wake the Town
OK, one more another mega obscurity. I promise I’ll get back to the slightly more well known stuff soon! Here’s something I found a few years ago while digging through non-UK oldskool jungle related listings on discogs (in this case, stuff from the US). I got it for a buck, had it in my sell…
Redskins & Dan Man – Don’t Worry
I’ll be the first to admit that, when it comes to what I post on this site, things aren’t exactly weighted with regard to actual jungle history. Though basically all this music is from that era, and there’s lots of cool and interesting stuff here (I wouldn’t bother posting it otherwise!), these tracks are all…
Pathfinder – Chartist EP
Here’s an interesting single I picked up at Notting Hill Gate MVE on my recent UK trip. I couldn’t find any audio online, so rather than just ripping one tune I ripped and posted all 3 tracks on YouTube (embedded below), might post one of the tunes here later when I decide which one. I…
L.S. Diezel & Launch Dat – Rougher Than A Lion
In case hardcore hip hop isn’t your bag (per yesterday’s post), here’s a favorite hardcore tune I found thanks to an ID which Nebkins got for an Easygroove mix… Yet again, Dennis Easygroove coming through with the absolutely wicked obscure selection. Lots of DJs were digging back then but it’s especially amazing what sort of…
The Feedback Principle – Tear Down The Place
Here’s a nice unknown-but-not-hard-to-find 92 tune I can’t recall seeing in many/any large mixes… mixmeisters, feel free to correct me on that. I discovered it recently while rooting around in my collection for overlooked 92-93 tracks to play on last Sunday’s show. The label it was released on, Rumour Records, is better known for compilations…
Detromental – X Amount of Respect
Since Tim’s going to have the 95/96 stuff covered nicely for a bit, here’s another 92 white label ripper… this time more of an in-demand one which has always been a bit pricey/hard to nab, though I was finally able to score it earlier this year on-the-reasonable. Detromental did a number of other whitelabels which…
PHP – Iree
Here’s a pretty obscure fun ragga hardcore EP I nabbed a while ago… I’d never heard it in mixes but found it while grabbing a couple other records from someone online. Honestly I could see how it might not be for everyone as it’s not a super polished hardcore tune or full of crazy samples……
Killersound – What Is A Ragga Twin
First tune back, this EP is a definite longtime obscurity / second-hand bargain. According to a friend, “Ravin 2 Heaven” used to get played a lot, but my favorite here is the first track “What is a Ragga Twin”. Featuring a few super catchy ragga vocal bits (I assume at least one of which is…
Macka Brown – Peoples Station
Seriously nice ragga hardcore here… if you haven’t read about him on this site before, Macka Brown is half of Bug Khan and the Plastic Jam, and aside from his Bug Khan tracks is probably best known for the 92 feel good anthem “Go Down Baby”. Aside from that though, he did a number of…
