This is the 20th chapter (bloody 20!!!) in a series of mixes called 'trust me i was there' where I'm mixing records that were big on the radio stations I listened to and played on, and the clubs/raves I went to and played at.

This mix is pt 8 from 1992 - a massively important year for uk music development in the early jungle scene - in this mix there's music from Foul Play, Ruffige Kru, Tom n Jerry, Tango, DJ SS and a few others - including the anthem that still gets played today - Bukem's mix of Atlantis. 

When I was doing this mix i remembered where i heard Darkman 'dark as it gets' first - it was Randall at Orange, Holloway road. Vibes.

Big up all the folks that message me and say they play these mixes at house parties, makes my day!!

If you wanna book me to come and play some of these records at a club night (and trust me, i effing love playing these tunes on a decent system)give charlotte at echo a shout :D
