A quickly and roughly 'enhanced' version of the Ed Rush & Trace (No U Turn) One In The Jungle mix, from 1997.

The original file was downloaded from Trace's Soundcloud page.  From the dips/spikes in EQ and panning it sounded like it was a recording taken from a pretty old and worn out cassette, so I've just brightened the top end, tamed some lower mid and tried to centre things a bit when it drifted off to the left or right speaker. I'm not really good at EQ to be honest, but you can hear the cymbals/hats/top end detail a bit more clearly and generally the mix stays in the middle a bit more.

NUT or STFU :-)

One In The Jungle - Ed Rush & Trace - No U Turn Experience - 07.02.1997 - EQ'd Balanced Version

I have always enjoyed listening to Atmospheric Jungle, but I have only been collecting more and playing Atmospheric sets and mixes in recent years.  Photek is one of my favourite producers of all time, I love his Atmospheric tunes, so when I had the idea for this mix, I had to do it.  I love listening to these tunes at the end of a big night out at a sick rave, maybe you might too.  Enjoy!

Photek Atmospheric Jungle Mix

The festive season is here and I just hit 2 million plays, so it's a double celebration. Now if, like me, you think that nothing says Christmas like a bit of soul-crushingly dark techstep then I'm sure this festive offering won't disappoint. Indeed, this idea is one I've been sat on for a while; my mixing habits have definitely slowed this year but I really wanted to grind a decent one out before 2025. 

The mix rationale then. Caught up somewhere between my 500th listening of Trace & Ed Rush's legendary '97 One In The Jungle set, and the preceding year's Tech Steppin compilation, I found myself asking a simple question. What if the legendary (and it really is fucking legendary) 'No U-Turn Experience' mix had been made a year earlier? Why don't you ponder that for a minute, grab a large Baileys, pop this on and kick back. Merry Christmas.

PS. I couldn't post this up without a big shout to Nico @messingaboutwithsounds. His interview with Bailey earlier in the year gave a fascinating insight into the formation of this scene. What a dude. If you missed it and this is your kinda thing, well, it's essential viewing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cdPwJ4d5Jw

Kemistry & Storm & LTJ Bukem - Groove Connection Party III at Madisons - 26th May 1995

Been wanting to do this mix for years. Drum and bass became a standalone genre around 1994, but there was a period before that, that lasted probably 8-10 months where the sound was no longer Belgian influenced hardcore with stabs from tracks like Spectrum (Joey Beltram) but where the music was being inspired by the Jamaican influences found in London. Artists like WAX doctor were discovering beats but DNB was not yet a genre. Tracks like Rocket by EZE-OZO, or “This is not about hate” by Clive “flash” Gordon are from 1991! It was going to be a full 3 years later that the first release of Metalheadz was going to come out. 3 YEARS! You want prototype jungle; you need to go back. You’ll find a guy called Gerald, that two years before is writing acid house with 808 states to writing breaks and sampling dancehall and mixing it all together. Sometimes this music sounds lost and without format (and try mixing it on vinyl!!), but remember that you are listening to music that was being created from a complete cauldron of sounds, in bedrooms and dropped onto vinyl. Chucked in the back of car and sold in shops in London (“yeah the records are warped because they were on the back seat of the car and took sun while I was driving around, sorry!”). 1991 was undoubtedly the greatest year ever in what is called dance music or EDM today. We did not have genres we simply had music that we young people listened to. 6 months after many of these tracks were released, another up-tempo shift happened where BPMs increased. That meant that many of the tracks in this mix were never heard again. Despite being slow on BPMS these are some of the hardest breaks that were ever written (Check Konspiracy at 35m, utter filth!). For the purists, yes, I did slip in a track by Roger Johnson near the end as it just rolls so perfectly into Jack n Phil. Mixed down on the Allen & Heath Xone32 with 1200 MK2s fitted with ortofons.

You’re going to here: Micky Finn, Eze ozo, a Guy Called Gerald, Top Buzz, 2 Bad Mice, Kev Bird & Wax Doctor, DJ Mayhem, Hedgehog Affair, Konspiracy, Roger Johnson, Jack n Phil, and some other white labels.

The photo on this mix is the Four Aces Club in Hackney. Now it's a set of apartments, but it was one of the clubs that drove the genre forward.
