Not just obscure white label stuff either, but tracks on relatively big labels, or by well known artist.  Not sure where this track has been all my life, but I&#8217;m glad to know about it now! &#8220;Something Out there&#8221; is an excellent 93 dark jungle\/hardcore track with grimey sinister synths,  pitch shifted breaks, reversed samples, THE WORKS.   This track&#8217;s author (Dexxtrous) is not to be confused with <A href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/artist\/Dextrous?anv=DJ+Dextrous\">DJ Dextrous<\/a>. In fact this EP is actually by J Majik, who did some blindingly essential bits on Metalheadz and whose <A href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/J-Majik-Slow-Motion\/release\/31515\">Slow Motion<\/a> album is one of my favorite dnb albums of all time.  The label behind this release   (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/label\/Planet+Earth+Records\">Planet Earth<\/a>) is more well known for their Lemon D EPs, which I&#8217;ll probably get around to posting at some point.. <\/p>\n<p>Props to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/imaginaryforces\">Imaginary Forces<\/a> for ID&#8217;ing this one for me a while back..
