Here’s a really obscure 95 jungle EP.. Despite the record name it’s basically a Ragga jungle Record, though the music tends more towards dark stuff. Beat production isn’t amazing but definitely good enough, an interesting one to check for sure. Watika – Dark Mix 2

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…
Sky Joose – X-Redskin
Here’s some tasty 95 ragga jungle from Sky Joose. Not much info available on this release, if you check the audio though you can hear that the beats in the other b-side tune sound quite similar to “Tales of Darkness”, so it’s most likely him. The elements here are pretty standard jungle – pads, dancehall…
2G’s (PX1) – Hunt and Seek
This month the EP posts have been pretty sparse on this site, so I’m enforcing the long-standing “slack on posting tunes for a while => make up for it by posting some rare slammers” rule. Hence, this track: “Hunt and Seek” by by R.A.W. (the uk one not the LA jungle DJ) on the Awesome…
Concrete Junglist – Indian Posie Pan De Map
Here’s what will probably be a favorite of the x-mas/boxing day posts. This tune is taken from the B side of a rare and pricey ragga jungle EP, “Lick Him Inna Him Head”, which I found in a bargain bin for a buck or two some time ago. The A side is more of a…
Sky Joose – Tales of Darkness
Here’s a crazy dark jungle track I meant to post yesterday… apparently quite pricey these days too (copy for 100 pounds on discogs right now). Sky Joose did some great records on ibiza related labels, Slam! and well as Jet Star… this is one of the two Jet Star EPs he did. Not too much…
Nick Power – Born to Jam
For people deep in the UK rave scene as it was going down, Nick Power was probably best known as the guy who ran Music Power record shop. Aside from that though, he did quite a few EPs under various guises, a number of which are in demand / classic tracks. Less die-hard collectors might…
Orca – Untitled (Force Ten 006)
Here’s a random unlabeled release by Orca on Force Ten. It’s got a bit of the trademark lucky spin sound of the time atmospheric-wise, but with maybe a bit steppier breaks than usual plus the added bonus of some tough ragga vocals dropping in throughout the track. Definitely one of the less known tracks by…
Frankie Paul – Round and Round
It’s been a while since I posted some ragga jungle, here’s a pretty cool and obscure track from a ragga jungle comp by a label in Jamaica… I think it fits nicely with the comment a few days ago regarding those Mazaruni / King Tubby related Jungle records, where someone was mentioning real jungle artists…
Chuck E – Smokin’ A Blunt
I just took the week off due to being burned out from that NY NASA party as well as the Mark Archer show I did in Boston… back with a vengeance this week though, starting with this absolutely killer pretty in-demand jungle track. Pretty much all the components of this track are nice/well chosen and…
