Damn, back to slacking with the tune posts…. here’s an odd obscure-for-the-sake-of tune to make up for it. No idea about this one, other than I’d never seen it before so took a chance on it. It’s supposedly a US record (according to Discogs), though I don’t remember whether there was any indication about that…

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…
International (Non-UK) Hardcore/Jungle mix
Here’s a set I tried to play on jungletrain 2 weeks ago, but I wasn’t happy with it because it had a lot of clipping and not all the tunes I wanted. So I went back and rerecorded it in one go, then edited that recording, taking out a few sections to make it extra…
Unknown Artist – Atlas
Time for another obscurer-than-obscure jam, here’s a tune I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone else play? This one’s a bit interesting since it’s supposedly a US plate from 93, though it sounds more like something from the UK circa 91. There’s certainly no info on the release itself so I’m not sure where the…
Aka Bu – Jungle Vibes
Here’s another obscurity I dug up a while back, one for the jungle nerds (like me) looking to hear those last few records no one really knows. Since there wasn’t any audio of it on the net, I ripped the whole thing and posted it on youtube rather than just ripping one track for the…
27th Parallel – Listen to Mommy and Daddy
One of these days I’ll follow through with my threat to do an entirely non-UK 91-95 oldskool mix. Until then, here’s another nifty not-made-in-England hardcore tune I’ve dug up over the years. Unfortunately I don’t have any info about the artist, but the label address says Miami,a nd “27th Parallel” is a latitude line intersecting…
The Reel Master – Child’s Play
Here’s another track I probably should have posted around Halloween, but forgot. I don’t really feel like waiting a full year until next Halloween to post it, so, here goes. As the name indicates, “Child’s Play” is a classic 91 horror-themed breakbeat tune along the lines of tracks by The Psychopaths on Elicit or maybe…
Oscar Da Grouch – Some Where
Here’s an interesting US jungle track from 1996, by N2O-affiliated LA jungle producer Oscar DA Grouch. Despite being from 96, this tune sounds much more like a 92-93 tune to me, with extra raw sound and the most bare bones of samples. The other tracks on this EP are more in-line with jungle circa its…
Nature Boyeeeee – Nuts N Noise (Arthur Baker And The Backbeat Disciples – “Silly Games (Bonesbreak Dub Mix)
Here’s an interesting US record I found over the weekend….despite having stickered artwork on the sleeve, there wasn’t any artist info attached. One side sounded like early house/breaks/proto-hardcore (especially when pitched up as here) with the classic Liz Torres “No more Mindgames” sample. The other side is the “Used to Salsa” mash-up, a version of…
Black Widow – The Stalk
Here’s a weird EP I don’t see mentioned much… it’s on the New York label “Death Records” which otherwise focused on 4/4 hardcore and techno stuff (ala Industrial Strength). In fact, this EP is probably more “breakbeat techno” than it is breakbeat hardcore style – there’s breakbeats in it but the structure is much more…
