Old School Rave and Jungle

[Grobbelboy]

Best happy hardcore track ever:

[hub2]

Two faves, especially the second...

[Don Rosco]

Wow, thats a blast from the past! I worked on that sleeve

Wow. It was React or someone that put it together, wasn't it? I can't tell you how big an impact that album had on us. I love all kinds of jungle but that bittersweet 94 gear was the pinnacle for me.

Totally amazing. I just listened to them both end to end even though it's ten to six and I have to be up in four hours. It KILLS me that I don't have any of their EPs on vinyl.

This is amazing! Tonight sorted!

[Aloha Snackbar]

Clean recording of this gem.

[Dimahoo]

...meh...don't mind me.

[Aloha Snackbar]

All sorts of amaze.

Taking it all the way back there, Miscreant! Slow rollers. I like that Ragga Clash one.

This is an absolute belter that I remember being in loads of DJ sets!

I dug out all my old jungle/dnb vinyl this weekend. I don't have a lot but there's some real gems in there (on the lighter side of things mostly). Highlights:

DJ Krust - Jazz Note / Burning - the difference in style between the two sides of this is remarkable!

Ils & Solo - Sweet Sunshine

LTJ Bukem - Horizons

Ken Ishii - Stretch (Shogun Remix)

JMJ & Flytronix - In Too Deep

Courtney Pine - I've Known Rivers (4Hero Remix) - love the break on this one.

Sorry for all that smoothness! I'll post up some proper rave next time

Kickin' Records were always bang on it at the time.

Scientist was top boy though.

[Mr Do 71]

This is the best mix of What Time is Love?

I did post this earlier in the thread, but the youtube vid is dead. It deserves to be posted again, just because it's so fucking good. (FSOL under a different name).

[acidbearboy]

Never heard the original mix of Insomniak before. This remix is a monster though. Hoover time!!

[Vimster]

Someone mentioned Bizzy B earlier...

I posted this in some hardcore/oldskool thread before we got the nice embedded vids:

Altern8 - Everybody (2 Bad Mice remix)

It pisses all over the original, really solid remix.

THC - Sunshine

Slipmatt doing it right on this one. The break is amazing on this. The Roy Ayers track is samples is worth a listen too.

[Vimster]

Actually could someone identify this track? I took this off some old Stu Allen mixtape. It'll probably be immediately obvious to you but I've never known who did it.

I can't help, but I had that tune on an old mix tape as well. All I know is that it was out no later than 1992.

[acidbearboy]

I don't recognise it, sorry Vim.

Sy-Kick - Upside

Sy-Kick - Nasty

Ramos & Supreme - Sunshine

Ramos & Supreme - Crowd Control

Oaysis - Incredible Bass (Slipmatt 93 Remix)

D-Force - Original Bad Boy

Force Mass Motion - Panic (Remix)

Vinylgroover - Groove Control

Sense of Summer - On Top

I've just found an excellent Youtube uploader:

XxTotalKaozxX

Loads of live sets from back in the day, the majority with full tracklistings and download links. He seems to be constantly uploading new ones too, I've just lost an hour looking through it. Amazing.

Just re-discovered these two from clicking around on the sets:

DJ Seduction - You and Me

Border Line - Screwface

[acidbearboy]

I see that DJ Seduction track is the b-side to the classic "Hardcore Heaven", seen here with generic early 90s dance video on MTV.

[acidbearboy]

Man, I love youtube and discogs. I keep finding more gems. Some I know.

Bizarre Inc - Plutonic

DJ Icee/Icey - Tricks Theme

DJ Vibes - Obsession

Some I don't - like this N.R.G. stuff which is awesome.

It's Ruff

Trip Switch

The Music Makers

Feel The Fury - not sure which mix I prefer.

[Aloha Snackbar]

[Don Rosco]

Deep Blue - Helicopter Tune (Rufige Kru rmx):

Dropping Science vol 1:

Sonz of a loop de loop era - Session One:

Hype - Shot in the dark:

:screwface:

[Ben]

[decider]

Vinylgroover - Groove Control

Can't post that without posting this:

Feel The Fury - not sure which mix I prefer.

It's got to be the Piano Mix for me, best record Will Smith has ever appeared on.

NRG also used the alias Liquid Crystal, and I don't think he put out a bad track under either of them. 'You Got Me' is probably his most well known track, but I'm not posting that.

Something about the massive, blatant samples always puts a smile on my face.

[acidbearboy]

Yeah, you're right about the Piano mix - which bit is Will Smith?

Really like that Power Within track too. Nice (recent by the looks of it) remix of You Got Me on Youtube.

This was in the related vids - another I always loved.

Jimmy J & Cru-L-T - Take Me Away (Slipmatt Remix)

[decider]

Yeah, you're right about the Piano mix - which bit is Will Smith?

The 'feel the fury' sample is from this (about 3:25 in):

Not keen on the You Got Me remix myself, just sounds like the original with some trancy elements and tons of reverb. The replayed piano parts sound really weedy too.

I didn't mind the original version of Take Me Away, but the Slipmatt mix is leagues ahead of it.

I remember this, but I can't recall who did it - it's sampling the hilarious Rob Acid 'Prodeux' - I do remember that it sounded better at 33

[Campfire_Burning]

Remember watching Top of the Pops in the early 90s for the bit where they'd play a few seconds of all the new tracks that had been released/charted that week? Maybe it was just me. Anyway, one week, based on such a preview, I ended up buying this:

On the B-side of which was this:

Classic.

I was watching Predator 2 last night and I was reminded of the awesome "Time Stretch" by Hyper on Experience (not sure what the video's about though)

Good to see some Moving Shadow tunes returning to Youtube after being removed. It seems a bit rich to cry copyright infringement when you're talking about tunes built from pilfered samples but whatever.

I'm sure I read somewhere that 6six6 was Luna-C's attempt at making a HoE style tune, I think it turned out pretty well and It's one of my favourites from the era. Not often you get samples from Drop Dead Fred and Airplane! in one track. Though the less said about the Justin Time remix, the better.

For those interested, you can download every release from the Kniteforce stable (inc. Remix Records for the aforementioned Slipmatt remix of Take Me Away) for free from the Kniteforce website.
