JungleMix

Mixes By Era

A few of my own favourite/most-played mixes.

Personals!

Compilation mixes of my favourite tracks, old and new, from the world of hardcore, jungle and drum & bass. Mostly my own vinyl and CD rips alongside more recently acquired digital, initally put together with DJay 2 following the demise of my turntables; however most stuff I do nowadays is sequenced for maximum rollout potential, cheeky edits and ting - audacity/ableton live.

Astro Jungle (Part 4)

Astro Jungle (Part 4) [1M Plays Bonus]

(Before I start on the main event, it's exactly six years to the day that I got up at 5am to assemble the first Eclectic (Jungle) Samples mix on my phone. Oddly, I was reminded of this while blearily looking at my phone after the neighbours' screaming effing kids woke me up at 5am. Anyway, 25/11/2016 was a Friday too so this feels like a special occasion to me, and I want to send a great big shout to my pal Olly for listening through the mix with me all those years ago. If you've not heard it then I'm going to be bold and suggest that you might like to, and if you have then why not revisit? 
Do it for me ;)

----------------------------------------------------
It's a Champion Ting. This is the first in a quadrilogy of mixes that follow on chronologically from the Summer of '94 series. There's been a heavy emphasis on summertime jungle with both those, the Summer of '95, and Back to Brighton St. mixes - a tribute to the Xmas '94 period is way overdue, and here it begins. 
Ruffneck Ting's 'Champion Ting' event* at Bristol Trinity Centre, 10/12/1994, was the first real jungle night I went to; that, and their subsequent 'Tequila Ting' event* at Lakota in Jan '95 really left their mark on me. I mean, "Selektor Bwoy". Man, it's impossible to put into words what the vibe was like then - jungle was just, SO jungle hehe - so I've assembled four mixes to do the talking. Every tune here sparks memories like it was yesterday. Massive shout again to the @ruffneck-ting crew and to everyone that made these nights so awesome. Big love <3

It's A Champion Ting (Part One)

On with the Champion Ting series and here's the almost impossibly ruffer Part Two. So many personals crammed in here it's not even funny, and accordingly I had little choice but to finish up with the double-bill of Fantasy and Back 2 Life. I could bang on about every track, but I'm supposed to be working, so see you in the comments! BIG UP.

It's A Champion Ting (Part Three)

Penultimate upload of the year (maybe). Doesn't seem hugely appropriate to post this on such a freezing bastard of a day, but it's next in the queue. I've had an enforced hiatus from mixing of late, for which I can only blame my employers, but hopefully this will make up for it. 

So then. 21 golden era jungle bangers to get things warming: all of them gems, no need to highlight anything, apart from Selassie Sound on its second Summer of '95 outing (the rules don't apply to that one) and that different mix of Living For The Night, does anyone know where it came from? Apart from iTunes/Spotify it doesn't seem to exist, not heard it on any mixes from back in the day. Weird.

Summer Of '95 (Part Four)

A little pre-Xmas treat: rewinding 29 years to the winter of 1994 for what will likely be the final Champion Ting mix. 

Been sat on this for a couple of months and must confess that I like it a lot; a mix of old faves and obscure stuff dug up from hazy memories, old tapes and full cycle shows. Minutiae of the construction include the ages spent fruitlessly searching for my Sweet Love and Stamina CD singles, before realising I had ripped them to mp3 years ago, presumably before binning them (idiot). Actually listening to the Red Light record for the first time in years instead of just using the intro (the same one DJ Hype rinsed) and just loving that Tracy Chapman sample. Realising I had somehow never heard Marv Cain's mindbogglingly catchy 'Believe It', sorely (albeit understandably) overlooked in favour of The Hitman. Yeah man, there's some great stuff on here, and it finishes up the best way I could muster with Peshay's masterpiece, The Piano Tune. 

As ever, enjoy the ride; you never know, I might find one more mix in my archives to round off the year. Big ups.

It's A Champion Ting (Part Four)

A rare Sunday upload from me: the final part of the aquatic jungle series. Been sat on this one far too long, it was put together back in early 2023, but the weather's too good not to share it. Ambient/atmospheric jungle is the perfect summer soundtrack for me, and these watery bastards are about as close to a Bukem-style mix as I've got so far.  There's a nice variety of styles on this one ... hope you enjoy it.

Aquatic Jungle (Part Five)

Due to popular demand, we've pulled this one out of the archives... 

Back in 2010, Gilles Peterson recorded a special Brownswood Basement show focusing on the evolution of drum & bass through the 90s and into the 00s. It was by no means a comprehensive history of the genre, but it did represent an excellent snapshot of the tunes that struck a chord with Gilles back then. 100% vinyl (and acetates), Gilles spent the best part of a day rummaging through hundreds of records and picked out around 40 of his favourite tracks from the likes of Alex Reece, Peshay, Goldie, Drumagick, Roni Size and Photek… then @alex-patchwork got deep in the mix. Here then, is the first hour-long mix that made up that show - no links, jingles or drops - just the music. We hope you enjoy it.

Blue Note Set Featuring the infamous Doc Scott with Justyce

Doc Scott & MC Justyce at Blue Note 1998

First of the eclectic hardcore/jungle sample-spotter mix series.
It's a selection spanning multiple genres from the 60's to the 90's, the common thread being - as ever - that each track was sampled by the hardcore/rave/jungle/DnB scenes - some have just one signature sample, others have been rinsed. Some of these records are incredibly obscure, dug up with help from the RolldaBeats and WhoSampled camps - others are long-standing personal favourites of mine.
This time I've included a few cheeky set-pieces based around reconstructions of hardcore/jungle tracks, or at least paying tribute to them, so keep an eye out for D'Cruze's Bass Go Boom, 4 Hero's darkside classics Journey From The Light and The Element; a trio of Foul Play samples, a cut-up reconstruction of Leviticus' The Burial, a 115bpm tribute to DJ Hype's Tiger Style, and plenty more besides. I can assure you that no jungle records were harmed in the making of this mix, original sources only. And they are so good. As ever - hope you enjoy.

Looking forward for a better future with humility and sobriety.

Moresounds 14/18 Raw Beats Mix

Been idly planning this one for a while. All credit to Greg @kolanut for the inspiration - after listening to his excellent space/illness themed mixes a while ago, I knew I was going to have to do an aquatic concept mix at some point. 

Why water? Like many other Pisceans, I don’t buy into the astrology bullshit whatsoever. However, there's something special about the overlap between music and water in nature that I love in both a literal sense - tracks that feature the sound of raindrops, waves crashing etc. - and as an abstract. Evidently I’m not the only one - the ‘floaty’ aesthetic of some of the more ambient side of D&B lends itself nicely to an aquatic theme. Granted, I’ve no idea whether tracks titled ‘River Of Dreams’ or ‘Mysteries Of The Deep’ would conjure up the same vibe under a different name, but it really doesn’t matter. Most of these tunes I’ve known for a long, long time – for me the titles are inextricably linked to the music and so form part of the narrative here.

Thinking about it, I’m not even sure why it took so long to get around to this mix, as planning and executing it was possibly more enjoyable than any other I’ve done. Working with a specific theme provides a nice excuse to bring together styles and producers that on the face of it might not seem an obvious match, the main task being to figure out some kind of continuity. It was also a great opportunity to trawl the internet for watery track titles and discover a handful of hitherto unknown pearls. Rest assured I’ve got plenty more set aside :)

Aquatic Jungle (Part One)

40 min Drum&Bass Mix

Onwards with the aquatic jungle and I've gotta tell you, this one is pretty special to me, so I've been sitting on it for a few weeks. I've had some incredible post-millennium tunes such as Aquatica and Dark Water in my shortlist since the inception of this series, so this marks my first foray out of the 90s: selecting D&B and some halftime bits from across the last two decades with a handful of 90s tunes spliced in. Bit of an epiphany really as most of this selection comes from an era that I have long overlooked in favour of the 92-97 sound. Yes, you may question the 'jungle' of the title but once you coin a name and a template you're stuck with it - besides that, it's all jungle to me mate :)

Sending this out to Josh @the-roadblock, Olly & Ell @wiseguisedjs, Ciaran @rough-culture, Greg @kolanut & Paul @distantworldtransmissions. Big thanks to Dave @twohungryghosts for the G-Force download and to the DOA forummers for a bunch of excellent water-themed suggestions in an old thread I discovered, accordingly a few tracks in here are new to me, keeping it nicely fresh for my ears. Big ups everyone, enjoy the mix ... don't forget your shark repellant

Selectabwoy X Merking 9 To 5: Merktape 3

Selectabwoy X Merking 9 To 5: Merktape 3 [Free Download]

Inspired by recent weeks of binge-watching Black Mirror b2b F5ing the Guardian news feed and struggling to decide which was more outright fucking bleak, here's the Dystopia Mix.  

Also heavily influenced by the seminal Ed Rush & Trace 'No U-Turn Experience' One In The Jungle set from way back when, I guess this is my 2020 take on that post-apocalyptic vibe ... updated with a selection spanning vintage D&B, techstep, dark Y2K choppage and modern jungle/half-time.

Let this assault your ears as you stockpile the bunker for doomsday. BIG UP my reposters, there's a place for you in my stronghold:

Dystopia

The Dystopia Mix

Following on from the bleak desolation of the Dystopia mix, here's one that evokes happier times. 

Journey with me back to 1996 - a time when a young DJ Smart and his best pal MC/DJ Cruise (now a middle-aged Selectabwoy and Olly WiseGuise respectively) fearlessly ventured from the south-west to Northumbria uni, bringing the rolling vibes of our hometown to the north-east, armed with little more than a crate of wax and a big bag of skunk each - well, that's how I like to remember it.

It was a fantastic time of sheer abandon and wilfully outrageous hedonism - and as you might imagine, many of the memories are blurred in the fog of time and substance abuse. Without the ubiquitous tyranny of cameraphones and social media to preserve our nefarious activities, all I can really tell you is that we went for it, hard... but I can at least recall a few of the DJ sets at house parties and club nights (including our own Wax On Wax Off venture); spinning old skool hardcore that I was picking up for 50p a pop in 10-15 Music Exchange (that no other fucker seemed to know about); Olly on mic duties for luminaries such as Randall & A Guy Called Gerald (I have no recollection of the latter but am reliably assured it did happen); the two of us playing b2b supporting the likes of Ed Rush, Kemi & Storm; the mitsi-fuelled pride of seeing Roni Size's Reprazent tearing it up on stage in Middlesborough during their first UK tour. Not to mention all the townie nights out. It was the best of times. 

My cue for the selection here comes primarily from mine & Olly's record bags of the era, inspired in turn from an obscure Venn diagram intersection between the legendary Bristol Ruffneck Ting nights, the all-important One In The Jungle shows, and, 300 miles further north, my first impression of the northern D&B scene: L Double's trademark dreads bouncing up and down as he played to the half-empty upstairs room of some seedy topless bar in South Shields. He still rinsed it out proper though - Lee's selections back then really encapsulated everything I find great about this era: a weighty, crowd-pleasing mix of jump-up, rollers and techstep, blended to perfection. Forward a year or so and D&B was all over Newcastle as it was everywhere else, but it's those first memories that really stick in my mind. 

Big shout to Olly first and foremost, and our long-lost crew - Pottsy, Bailey, Jon Waco, Chris Weir, Mark Dowie... Scotty (howay play the game lads) - I hope this mix finds you again someday. Honorable shouts to a few of the Newcastle characters... Reewynd, MC Bly, Garner Harris (I chucked in a jazzy number or two to appease you... FFS lol), Justin & Elements of Noise, Hidden Agenda. Thanks for having us <3

Selectabwoy X Merking 9 To 5: Merktape 4

Selectabwoy X Merking 9 To 5: Merktape 4 [Free Download]

* Message me if you have any copyright issues *

Home of my own mixes - predominantly jungle/hardcore with the odd bit of D&B, plus eclectic sample-digging, breaks and hip-hop, techno & electronica. 

Pre-2001, all mixes vinyl; Post-2016, all mixes digital (DJay 2); Post-2018, Ableton Live. Why? Why not?
I've got an old skool DJ's mentality, early influences ranging from Sublove, Ratty, Randall & Hype to Coldcut, DJ Juice, MK & Primo.  In the early 00s I turned my back on D&B, retired my turntables in favour of family/work commitments, and got into funk, soul, reggae and so on... a lot of this driven by curiosity around the sample roots of hardcore and jungle.  Forward another decade and an early mid-life crisis saw me messing around with virtual decks on my phone, and later acquiring a vinyl ripper, with one vision in mind: making mixes.
Although I'm partial to the odd DJay or vinyl mix when I get the chance, the progression into Ableton Live was a simple means to an end.  My ideas stretch further than the limitations of my physical collection and real-time mixing, and by sequencing I can pick, choose, chip away and structure mixes at my leisure. Which I do... a lot :)

Wait, there's more ... an absolute stack of classic golden era/old skool hip-hop/turntablism, jungle and d&b, hardcore, techno and house mixes retrieved from my dusty tape & CD archives.  This includes (by my reckoning) the most exhaustive collections of classic Full Cycle and Sublove Galaxy Radio shows, live Ruffneck Ting jungle tapes, loads of studio & compilation mixes, all manner of rave tapes, and so on. 
Use the playlist shortcuts (top of spotlight) to find your way around. 

Have fun, spread the love :)
