Here’s a record I don’t own OR know anything about, but I’m hoping someone will see this and help in one or both of those regards… pretty please?? I first heard about this EP roughly half a year ago, when Handsome Jak from the Beautifully Crafted Jungle crew started asking about it on a tune…

Colin B – Price of War
Wow, it’s been a year since I posted any individual tunes on blog to the oldskool. In fact, it’s been so long that when I went back to do a post, I was faced with this annoying new blog editing UI and ended up losing this post not once but twice. Hopefully 3rd time is…
Unknown Artist – Untitled white label (AM22505/AM22506)
UPDATE:, it’s been tentatively ID’d as Clarkee & Kriss-E Boy- Hardcore Revival EP. According to Andrew Abernathy on facebook: [it] came out early 00’s. I bought a copy myself in the local drum & bass/ garage shop. I asked esp clarke-e but he said it wasn’t by him. Since I’ve been terrible about posting tunes…
The First Instalment – Enity A1
Here’s an interesting mega-obscurity supposedly on Entity Records. I’ve only ever seen two copies before. Gotta say, it’s one of these ones where you can kind of understand why it didn’t get a full release, but still it’s a fun tune with some nice moments and an absurd amount of samples chucked in the fray.…
Unknown Artist – 36 Chambers
Here’s a big anonymous jungle whitelabel I’m sure some people will want to track down. I grabbed it on the cheap when buying a bunch of tunes in bulk. Not sure when it’s from: 95? 96? 97? Though the sequencing sounds 95-style to me, it could definitely be a bit later. If anyone remembers when…
Templa – In N Out Your Mind
Here’s a nice white label obscurity. Though supposedly from 1992, this track didn’t come out until the mid-noughts on the flip of a reissue of D’Livin “Why”. It’s actually worth tracking both the original of that EP down and the reissue, as the other tracks on the original are nice (not featured on the reissue),…
Unknown Artist – Jah’s Calling
Been a while since I’ve posted a mega grimey obscure 92 white label, hopefully this one fits the bill. One for the anoraks and not-on-label crew, this EP is by god-only-knows-who (anyone want to fess up?) and ranges in tempo from almost housier speed on one track to full 92 hardcore. There’s a fair bit…
Funky T – The Guvnor
Here’s a fun 92 whitelabel I don’t hear much mention of, though Mickey Finn and Kenny Ken both used to play it. The artist behind this (DJ Funky T) went on to do a solid EP on No U Turn, but this one is a bit rougher / definitely 92 white label style. “The Guvnor”…
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…
Strange Loop – Random Access
Here’s an obscure 92 whitelabel I bought at some point because I mistook it for another whitelabel…oops. Still, this A-side tune is a lot of fun, perhaps too much so! “Random Access” is a total sample-fest primarily centered on the melody from Xpansions – Move Your Body, though there’s all sorts of vocal snippets chucked…
