Just so you know, I have had a listen. Nice mixing but for me the tunes are quite dark/bit too DnB. I'm sure it would go off in a club but I'm an armchair raver now
I'm originally from Houston and a lot of the DNB/Jungle and Techno was dark and hard there. The music is real representative of the city (dark and hard). I used to have a lot of angst I guess and let it all out in those mixes I made.
I was going through some end of the year lists and catching up, and uk vinyl label Swamp 81 had a guy from Horsepower Productions named Benny Ill release a twelve inch titled Swamp91 but there is no youtube video or soundcloud embed.

i had a love/hate relationship with metalheadz in later years, but they're so necessary.
pls post your metalheadz favs... all'uv the massive!
I think I bought my last Metalheadz (and last DnB) around 97-98 but up to then they, Moving Shadow, V Records and a few others were churning out great tracks.
Should really ship all the DnB/Jungle over or let it go....
They used to advertise Section 5 record store on Kiss over this track bitd....

This reminded me that it's no joke to say that the Jungle that came from my home town, Oxford, was representative of the city... "intelligent" (never really sure if I liked this labelling, but all of the Oxford artists I know of specialised in the atmospheric so-called intelligent side of Jungle; Q-Project, Invisible Man, Mouley etc).
"Dirtybird players (and real life bros), Justin and Christian Martin did up a drum & bass mix during a sunrise set from the most recent Dirtybird Campout. Now as a holiday treat you can watch video of the two of them listening to the mix while sitting in front of a TV fire, giving one another gifts, and drinking 40’s."
The new album Levitate by Lone has more than one track with a vintage old jungle breakbeat somewhere in the track, ltj bukem imspired tracks with some synth work and juke elements tossed in:
This whole ep has some nice sounds, including some junglism
yeah, Scott is a fellow Kiwi and has been knocking about the D&B / Dubstep scene for a good decade. that whole ep is enjoyable, but his application of the jungle in to the 160 / FW style is very cool, not over the top like a lot of 'jungle footwork'.
I was very skeptical when I heard of the latest dj goes on vacation album of global fusion dance music that always seems to get dated fast but the one track on the Mala in Peru album with a breakbeat and the Andean flutes sounded catchy:

1993, Oxford label.
Most of his good stuff was on another Oxford label, Timeless. He should never have gone to Bukem - a great DJ but shit at running a label.

I remember an old mixtape (dj food maybe?) with an acapella of My Definition... by the Dream Warriors over top.
Amazingly funky intro.
...nice views of his home set-up.

A respectful remix of a certified classic with free WAV download. Not bad.
Full version of his jungle war dub.
