It has been 21 years since my introduction to Jungle Drum n Bass...how the time flies. I remember having this appetite for new sounds at an early age. I had been introduced to techno and house via Chris Sheppard through compilations I purchased (well, my parents bought them for me ;) and his live broadcasts on the radio, but was still not satisfied. It wasn't until I purchase a tape from HMV that was called "The History Of Our World part 1" that completely open my ears and fell in love with what was then Breakbeat/rave music...little more research and I hit the jackpot! I discovered the hardcore sound of drum n bass through compilations and radio shows broadcasted through college radio. Finally, my appetite was satisfied. From then on, I was on a roller coaster ride with drum and bass that lasted a few years (till '98 to be exact). I started DJing and collecting vinyl with my good friend and DJ partner at the time, Morro Mendez. We started to have our own mixtapes, playing out at small parties and listen to amazing radio broadcasts that showcased the sound of our teenage years. We were always absorbing as much info as possible from these broadcasts, since we were too young to go and wild out at raves. Shouts to Marcus and the Prophecy crew. Always dropping the track IDs on their Sunday shows so people can buy them every Thursday at Play Dee. Also shouts to Flipside and his Tripping On Energy show on Energy 108. Shouts to Sniper and Mystical, the Real O.Gs of our Jungle scene in Toronto....those were awesome and exciting times... and so we come to the second mix. 

As promised, I give you T H E  R O L L  O U T. Two hours of some of the best jump-up jungle tunes of yesteryear. This particular selection runs from 1995 through 1997. Playing straight fire from all the hot producers and labels of that era. Drum n bass in your face!!! 

Lightah!!!
