Selectabwoy: 1994 Jungle Mix (250K Special)

250K Special (Red Mix)

This one's personal. 
Humour me for an hour or so and take a journey back to the early 90s, where my future love of jungle/D&B began. Before I had the courage and financial means to venture into indie record shops, I was seeking out breakbeat rave gems nestling on commercial dance compilations like Deep Heat and Thin Ice, watching toytown rave (doubtless resentfully) aired on TOTP, loving hoover noises on Dance Energy, picking up bargain 7” and cassette singles in Woolworths, HMV and Rival, and taping early Kickin, XL and Rising High records off my schoolmates. Although I’ve brushed some of the cheesier stuff under the carpet, this is an authentic selection of some all-time favourite tunes from back then, and it was an absolute joy to put together. Last track honours go to Acen's 'Close Your Eyes', the first track that had me shelling out the full £3.99 for the 12", included in its entirety for the wonderful final breakdown. 

Importantly, this mix reminded me of the time I had a compilation tape made for me by Lez, my Dad’s band manager, who understood precisely the kind of noisy futuristic music I was bang into. I must have been around 15. Opening with Baby Ford’s ‘Fetish’, it was the first place I heard Beltram’s ‘Energy Flash’, Spectrum’s ‘Brazil’, Techno Grooves ‘Christ!!!’ plus a load of other great Euro Techno. Damn, that mixtape has a lot to answer for, it was pure gold. RIP Lez, and Dad - this mix is for you.
