I couldn&#8217;t find any audio online, so rather than just ripping one tune I ripped and posted all 3 tracks on YouTube (embedded below), might post one of the tunes here later when I decide which one. I believe this EP is from Switzerland, or at least the vocalist Riddimflirt is (the only other single I see by him on Discogs is a swiss dancehall single). I&#8217;m not going to lie and pretend this is a long lost ragga jungle masterpiece, but it IS definitely a fun grab and pretty cool overall!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"450\" height=\"253\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?list=PLtRHIuFRevotjcKgIDkGMcM5MbfCet9a1\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The A side, &#8220;Chartist&#8221;, has simple loopy beats, growly bass and a nice bleedy melody\/pad combo (probably the best part). On the flip, &#8220;Get the Willies&#8221; follows a somewhat similar formula, brief ragga vocals repeated intensely but with some nicer breaks and programmed beats on top which almost resemble the &#8220;Shack up&#8221; breakbeat (but they aren&#8217;t). &#8220;Fast Credit&#8221; starts off sounding the most like a normal classic uk ragga jungle track, sounding quite convincing until partway through where a distorted acid line breaks in which gives it more of a euro feel.   I dunno, in this day and age where most everything seems to be posted online and well known, it was cool to find a record like this which I had no clue about, hope some of you like it. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/Pathfinder-Chartist\/release\/6829672\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogtotheoldskool.com\/blog\/images\/pathfinder.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\"><br \/>Pathfinder &#8211; Chartist [Discogs]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s an interesting single I picked up at Notting Hill Gate MVE on my recent UK trip.
