If you&#8217;ve listened to any decent amount of 94-95 jungle, there&#8217;s no way you&#8217;ve escaped hearing some mix of this tune. It kind of epitomizes the most crowd pleasing aspects of 94-95 jungle: r+b vocals, ragga vocals and frantically mashed think breaks\/amens. Here we get the vocals from Mary J Blige&#8217;s &#8220;Sweet Thing&#8221;, a Top Cat ragga intro, aforementioned mashed amens + thinks, a dub siren, and little else. Definitely a super minimal and stripped down track, there&#8217;s no excess baggage here! Though not indicated in the track name, &#8220;Wheel and Deal&#8221; is actually a remix of DJ Gunshot&#8217;s previous tune <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/DJ-Gunshot-Wheel-Up-Black-Magic\/release\/70188\">&#8220;Wheel Up&#8221;<\/a>. I prefer this mix though, it&#8217;s just a bit crazier plus the 10&#8243; format makes it easy to find in a record crate. DJ Gunshot did a number of other EPs in the 93-95 era, all very straightahead crowd pleasing jungle. If you like this tune (who wouldn&#8217;t?), then it&#8217;s definitely worth digging through his other EPs since there&#8217;s some similar rude tunes to be found.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/DJ-Gunshot-Wheel-n-Deal-Marble-Mix\/master\/18985\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogtotheoldskool.com\/blog\/images\/dj_gunshot.jpg\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nDJ Gunshot &#8211; Wheel and Deal<\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-6083-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"\/blog\/audio\/DJ%20Gunshot%20-%20Wheel%20and%20Deal.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"\/blog\/audio\/DJ%20Gunshot%20-%20Wheel%20and%20Deal.mp3\">\/blog\/audio\/DJ%20Gunshot%20-%20Wheel%20and%20Deal.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was about to post a less known DJ Gunshot tune, but I might as well post his big anthem.
