This week on The History of Jungle Show, we're back with another guest mix, this week welcoming Earl Grey onto the Dejavufm.com airwaves!

Manchester producer Earl Grey began early experiments with breakcore before settling on jungle, drumfunk and atmospheric choppage. With music released on Inperspective Records, Western Lore, Eastern Promise, Subtle Audio Recordings, Hypercharger and more, Earl Grey has carved out a distinctively ethereal and percussive brand of left-field and off-key breakbeat music.

0860.fm MIX #4 TONIC, BABY FACE, PHASE 3 on KOOL FM JULY 94

Dead Man's Chest came down to the first SubCulture night last year and killed it.

He's been kind enough to let us release the audio, so whether you missed the night and are listening for the first time or lucky enough to catch it live and reliving it- enjoy!

Subculture Mix Series.002 - Dead Man's Chest

Four Seasons of Winter Mix

From 1994-1997 Fabio hosted a seminal radio show on Kiss FM. He would alternate each show with Grooverider and it was the first time jungle was played on legal radio. It was essential listening for music that wouldn't normally get played out, or even heard again! These shows were a window into another world and fresh 90-minute TDKs on hot standby was standard procedure. 

For the second hour of the show, Fabio would announce "The Jazzstep coming up next...", and after a few months it became "The Legendary Jazzstep..." - this was big!

The music was jazz-influenced and driven by funk breaks, which tended to be quite loose with the patterns. It was a golden era before things got stripped back to more surgical timings seen with liquid, it also made the sound feel more organic and musical.

This mix attempts to recreate the feeling of these shows with dreamy sax, epic keyboard solos, cool double bass and the funkiest of breakbeat grooves. Featuring music from Carlito, Subject 13, Hidden Agenda, Primary Motive and early Creative Source - some of the finest drum and bass ever made.

It was recorded from a mixture of both vinyl and digital, and it wouldn't be right for the Jazzstep show if there wasn't a couple of dubplates in there as well: a very jazzy something forthcoming on Make or Break from Deeptropix, and an unreleased collab track from Sekl @sekldnb and Rough Territory @Rough-Territory

Even during the peak era of the jungle, this music was considered quite a niche sound, but Fabio was a pioneer with a true passion and love for the music. Big respects to Fabio for doing his own thing and giving the music a platform for all to appreciate.

Inspired by the dusty, crunchy sound of old rave tapes, Western Lore is twisting up modern jungle with a wavy, freeform sound and equally psychedelic visuals. Committed to physical formats and with intricate hand-drawn artwork, it’s one of the UK’s most exciting labels both sonically and visually. Ben Hindle catches up with label boss Dead Man’s Chest, who delivers a whirlwind mix of cuts from label’s catalogue.
