Here’s a quite obscure jungle tune I nabbed a while back which I’ve never heard absolutely anything about – in fact, the only version listed on discogs is the test-press, though my copy is a full label press. This tells me that maybe there’s a bunch of these stashed away somewhere unsold? But for whatever reason I can’t find any references to it online. Maybe once it gets added in full label form, a bunch of people will come out of the woodwork to list it for sale, but the last copy I saw for sale was circa 2004, so… in my mind it’s pretty rare and, hence, a nice treat to share \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Overall the EP sounds like it was made somewhere in the 95-96 time period, though for all I know it could have been as late as 97. It’s engineered by Helen T of IDM Records\/ Strictly Jungle. In this track (probably the best), pitched amen snares punch in and out and roll up and down on top of more solid beats and some really cool strange sounding pads \/ noises.<\/p>\n

While I don’t know anything about the artists themselves,the full label version I have contains quite extensive shout-outs etc on it, so hopefully someone recognizes the artists or people mentioned here and can provide some more info about the release:<\/p>\n

Programmed by D. Leyton \/ E Shrager \/ D. McBride.
\nEngineered by Helen T (courtesy of Strictly Jungle) & Tony Bywaters.
\nProduced by E.Shrager \/ D. Leyton \/ B. Taylor (Strictly Jungle).
\nShouts to: Fizz, Will, Jim Badman \u201cThe High Roller\u201d Joolz, Abi, Jo & the Rusholme Renegades: Champagne John, Oot, Jeremy & all Scottish Badman; Respect to Alex & all Berlin Bunker Kru.
\nBig up all 86-91 O.E. Squad, Maximum Boost & buff respect to Barrie & Helen T. for akin\u2019 it so easy!!
\nBig shout to Katie (shame about the cats), Zara & the Euston Mafia.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hopefully that rings a bell for someone. Until then, enjoy the track and have a happy xmas!<\/p>\n
