BAD WAX AUDIO PROMO MIX

Designed to blow your mind - an absolute classic oldskool jungle techno / dnb set from Top Buzz (the MC is also bang on it, not sure who it is?), flashbacks anyone... 

Good sound quality considering how old the tape is. This is from the 'Que Beat Vol.1 Live at Freedom' 3 tape set from 1993.

BRYAN GEE  QUEST MEETS AMAZON  OLD SKOOL JUNGLE MIX .MP3

The legendary club Quest in Wolverhampton was rated as the best club for hardcore old skool rave from late 91-93 with a who's who of guest DJs including Carl Cox, Phantasy, Ratty, Sy, Stu Allan, Loftgroover, Dave Angel, Slipmatt, Fabio, Tango, Pilgrim, Ned Ryder and loads more. After hammering the tapes from 92/93 during lockdown I thought it was only right to put up a tribute to late 92 / early 93 tunes played at Quest during 93 where the darkness was seeping through the jungle...
