Proper ‘94 UKG from Grant Nelson & Si Firmin! It is what got me into the genre back when I was 14 and still holds a place in my heart. Always loved the bouncy double bass bassline! “Allnighter” on the flip is also highly recommended.

My most favorite Dillinja tune from ‘94! It’s not a very complex track but you know that sometimes less is more. What really matters is the soul and it seems that a lot of producers today forget that! We have a lot to learn from our predecessors in that regards. Anyway, love the combination of bouncy Dill breaks and melancholic EP chords. The vinyl was repressed on Deep Jungle in 2020 with unreleased VIP mix on the flip.

An excellent darkside tune from ‘94 produced by DJ Gunshot. Lots of amazing works( Bad Boy , Regulators , Wheel Up etc.) from the man but this one really shines. I remember being blown away by the advanced mentasm patterns during my first listen. It must have been quite an achievement in ‘94. The Bell Biv DeVoe sample is a nice touch as well! I think this tune is definitely a precursor to later hardstep No U-Turn sound along with Bludclot Artattack by Ed Rush .

  A brilliant downtempo track from ‘94. Even though Tranquility Bass had put out many excellent releases, this version of Cantamilla has to be the strongest and most seminal work from the duo in my opinion.  I particularly dig the (slightly out of tune)vintage synth string at the intro. The Asha Bhosle sample is a cherry on the top as well. A 5 out of 5 tune I must say, just listen!

  A ‘94 classic from the jungle don Ron. Ron never disappoints but this tune in my opinion is among his best works along with Mo Musik and Crackman . Although Dangerous isn’t as popular as the two aforementioned anthems, I believe it’s as good and is an underrated gold. Here are some dubs of the same tune that are also worth a listen.  Deep Inside The Oldskool · DJ Ron - Dangerous (Original Mix) [Unreleased Clip] Deep Inside The Oldskool · DJ Ron - Dangerous (1995 Remix) [Unreleased Clip]
