I&#8217;m always on the lookout for the fastest, craziest, most mashed up early hardcore\/jungle tracks I can find. While this tune is far from the craziest, it&#8217;s definitely a step in the right direction!  Frantically layered breakbeats, ragga vocals + gunshots (as Nebbers pointed out in the comments, from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/Ackie--Chesse-Roots-Call-Me-Rambo\/release\/1067583\">Ackie &#8211; Call me Rambo<\/a>), plus extra bleep sounds all fire away at a steady pace, followed by a sinister melody added in the second half of the tune and some nice phasing on the breaks (possibly done by doubling the break sample up with a slightly shorter duration version as was the trick back then).   Though I&#8217;d be happy if it was even crazier and had more breakbeat changeups, this is a really nice lesser known slice of manic hardcore junglism. The track&#8217;s production is also surprisingly sharp, as most <a href=\"http:\/\/blogtotheoldskool.com\/?p=17\">Deja Vu \/ 786<\/a> stuff has a certain degree of &#8220;grimeyness&#8221; to it. Honestly you could probably add a think break underneath this and treat it as a slightly more fi 94 ragga jungle tune!<br \/>\n<A href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/Trans-Vexed-Violent-Life-EP\/release\/323570\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogtotheoldskool.com\/blog\/images\/transvexed.jpg\"><\/a><br \/>\n<A href=\"\/blog\/audio\/Trans Vexed - Rambo.mp3\">Trans Vexed &#8211; Rambo.mp3<\/a><br \/><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-3949-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"\/blog\/audio\/Trans%20Vexed%20-%20Rambo.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"\/blog\/audio\/Trans%20Vexed%20-%20Rambo.mp3\">\/blog\/audio\/Trans%20Vexed%20-%20Rambo.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another unknown gem \/ personal fav I feel a bit reluctant to publicly share.. gotta put this one up though since I think it&#8217;ll appeal in particular to some friends and regular supporters of this blog.
