Summer Of '94 Jungle Selection Part 2

Summer Of '94 Jungle Selection (Part 2)

Once again, here I am reminiscing of summers gone by. Quite fond of this particular selection: some beautifully melodic rollers from Van Kleef, Dillinja & Jeep Head; deep & dark jungle cuts from DJ Hype & Shimon; a few obscurities that I either didn't put a name to, or simply passed me by; and of course a few summertime amen slammers just so you know I'm not fucking around. Hello Lover, Tear Into It, Radical Sound's What Is Love & those two Dextrous KOTJ joints, always guaranteed to put a smile on my chops. 

Enjoy, and as ever, bump & leave a comment if you're feeling it. Rest of the series playlisted below; Part 7 to follow next week.

Summer Of '94 Jungle Selection (Part 6)

Final mix of the year is my take on the mighty Jungle Massive 4: Jungle Versus The Hardsteppers, the last instalment of the legendary series from Labello Blanco/PWL International ... big ups to scene legend Jimmy Low (aka Macka Brown/MC Kann) and the artical OJ himself, Pete Waterman...

Four years ago I did my own festive mix of Jungle Massive Volume 2 (https://on.soundcloud.com/kadto). Just four days after that I had the files set up to have a crack at Volume 4, but it's taken all this time to get my shit together sufficiently to tackle the 32 tracks on offer. I've had the official Gachet & Micky Finn mixtapes up for a while, so why bother? Well - for one, the mixes themselves aren't without their flaws ... but beyond that, I wanted to mash all the tunes up together in a continuous mix, rather than observing the original hardstep/jungle split. I'm not sure it ever made sense to me really - I guess you can retrospectively substitute 'drum & bass' for 'hardstep' in the sense that there's more ragga/soundclash flavour in the junglist half, but nowadays this is splitting hairs. It's a jungle compilation pure and simple, and easily one of the best going. 

Man, there's some brilliant tunes on it. Plenty of specials: 'Slow Down', 'Back To My Roots', '9mm' and 'Theme From Daddy Armshouse' stand out, all absolutely wicked and genuinely exclusive to the LP. (It just occurred to me that - unless you know otherwise - Nookie's effort is the earliest example of swingbeat/clownstep, a slice of pure class built around the b-line from Aaron Neville's 'Hercules'). Add to that a shit-ton of excellent VIPs including the superb Sky (DJ Kane VIP) from Just Jungle, Monk's Nu Jack City, Marv Cain's Gunman, Aphrodite's Bomber and MTS's Baad Boy Sound. Beyond that, the 'regular' tunes in there hold several of my all-time faves among their number - Steppaz Anthem! Vintage Wash! Roll On, Crisis, Legalise, The Dreamer ...and then Final Chapta and Babylon Trace Part 2... Labello weren't messing around, this is a filler-free zone. The selection also forced me into doing the Arsonist/Fire mash-up I've been daydreaming about for years, keep an ear out for that one :)  

Enough chat, enjoy your Xmases and I'll catch you in the new year <3

Distant Planet Show on Infrared.fm July 16th - Hosted by Louise Plus One & Hughesee

Wicked mix from the undisputed king of the breakdown Big Bud... This one was from around 2005 when he was diversifying from his deep atmospheric signature sounds (Infinity +Infinity and the incredible Late Night Blues) and produced a series of tunes with heavy dub and reggae influences (Fear of Flying, Connections and Kool Beans etc). Love this mix 👌

* 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. 

Have fun, spread the love :)
