Awesome mix. Great to hear all these classic Jungle trax again like "Walk with your friends", "RIP" etc

De Underground was a hardcore and jungle record shop based in Forest Gate in the 1990s run by Mike De Underground, Cool Hand Flex, Uncle 22. and Randall. 

By pure chance, it opened on the very road that I lived on and I ended up being in an out of that shop most days until I moved to a different part of town in 1994, and looking back it was a very important part of my life in those days.

It was much more than just a record shop though. As well as essentially being an important hardcore/ junglist social centre with everyone who was anyone in the scene passing through at some point, it was also an umbrella for a multitude of in-house labels with vinyl being pressed up (on what seemed like a weekly basis) of tunes made in large part by Cool Hand Flex and Uncle 22 in a studio based at the back of the shop. Added to this were contributions and releases from Asides, Lennie D’Ice, Hype, MC Fats, Randall, Marlon and Navigator. Though not one of the shop’s labels as such, Reel 2 Reel Records was based just around the corner and was (literally) part of the family too, being run by John Reel 2 Reel, brother to Cool Hand Flex and Mike De Underground. For those that knew, (it’s legacy is often overlooked in the history of hardcore and jungle) the shop served as an exclusive outlet for labels such as i.e. Records, In Touch Records, Oddball, Pure Energy, Ruff Groove, U No Dat, Reel 2 Reel, and of course De Underground records itself.

This mix set me an a personal journey to go back through over 100 or so records from all the De Underground labels and also Reel 2 Reel. There’s the big ones that I've always gone back to, but then there’s also a wealth of undiscovered gems that with the help of Discogs I could actually work out and rediscover what some of these mysterious white labels were.

There’s definitely scope for a part 2 to this mix. There’s so many more tunes I could have played and you have to think that some of these EPs come loaded with 3 or 4 tracks, plus things very much continue after 1994. That’s an immense back catalogue.

As Asides recently said, the back catalogue is “a mystery waiting to be unravelled”. This mix starts that process, but if you have an evening spare and want to dig deeper, then check these 2 links.

Sheba Q - November 2023

Epic oldschool business if you got the stomach for it, as a 60 minute shows turns into a three plus hour pig out. Tons of old faves and obscuros in this ruff & ready Live recording, from that musky friday night transmission at Ljubljana's finest radio station.

Special thanks to Dino 'Marathon Man' Lalić for hosting and chapperonial services. Additional thanks to Tilen 'Show some motherfukkin respect' Ločniškar for adding to the sheer vibenezz of events by baptizing us in the Styxian river of bodily fluids gushing from the local techno-jock scene! Peace and good luck train spotting.

This is the home of Creme Organization, a RECORD LABEL based in The Hague, Netherlands. Here you will find updates about our latest releases, upcoming stuff, podcasts by various related artists and DJ's and goodies from back in the days.

DEMO FAQQQ::: Yes, we will listen to your demos but we do get a lot of stuff and cannot always give indepth comments about everything we listen to. And yes, there is a specific sound & feeling we're looking for but its impossible to describe. Checking the stuff we have uploaded might give you an idea though. Also it will take us some time to process your request. Asking us repeatedly if we had a chance to listen sadly cannot speed up this process! But if we like what we hear we'll surely let you know in no uncertain terms! Now that we laid out these simple parameters I think we'll get along just fine, so umm, thanks in advance and keep em coming!
