forgot about this little gem, way ahead of its time!
so much of this stuff make things coming out today sound incredibly boring in comparison.

Labello blanco recordings. The dreamer is one everyone should know.
Spiritual aura by dj rap
Dreams of heaven by inta warriors aka grooverider
Ascend and ultravibe.
Most of all The license by dj krome and mr time. Probably the best ever drop on any tune!
I'll have to dig through and see what I can find cause I've only got a few from round that period. It was when jungle was just getting identified rather than hardcore. Sensimilla crisis by Smoking Joe, Chronic Breaks and Watch Out by D'Cruze, Babylon Timewarp by Durban Poison (maybe more hardcore tbh), Bludclot Artattack by Ed Rush, Renegade Snares by Omni Trio more the 93/94 end if you want to do some digging, but pretty certain most of this was under 150bpm.Slim wrote:Shonky, i've seen you mentioning close-to-140 bpm early jungle a few times but missed the opportunity to ask, any reccomendations? Any mixes by your good self (the forum broke and stole the only one i have seen you post) or others?
Am a jungle imbecile, but i love what i have heard. (Not just orignial nuttah and incredible, don't worry)
i agree - i like the roughness of production sometimes, particularly in soul, funk, reggae etc. a lot of modern music is overproduced and removes the life out of the music.Shonky wrote: I'll have to dig through and see what I can find cause I've only got a few from round that period.

Although the production's a bit iffy on some of these (well I like it, but I'm not that fussed about pristine productions), I think the music at the beginning of a scene is generally at it's most interesting as it hasn't yet established it's boundaries or had an influx of musos so there's always this blissful ignorance of what's "right". Especially when the technology had not been around for that long, plenty of scope for experimentation.

the time when you mention brought some amzing tunes like acen - trip II the moon. I used to have some good tapes i got off a mate from uni, but i lost them (duuh)
yeah, also really like a lot of it, but there's something thats a part of what i think of as the bristol sound that i dunno, slightly irritates me as well. its something with the drums. they're often kind of stiff and rigid compared to what i think of as 'true' jungle.ThinKing wrote:nothing touches me deeper than Bristol jungle.
