The 2014 D&BA Forum Essential Jungle Mix 93-94

If you told me when I signed up to the forums at Drum & Bass Arena in 2002 that I would be still visiting the place on an almost daily basis in 2014; I would probably have seriously re-evaluated my future.

But here we are, 2014 and me and a whole bunch of others are still talking jungle, football and engaging in childish beefs over 10 years later. But it’s not all bad, there is a load of top quality DJ’s on the board with a great taste in jungle.

Back in 2006 I came  up with an idea I hadn’t seen anywhere else before. We created a jungle mix featuring five DJ’s from a cross the country (one across the pond) by each DJ mixing 5 tunes, and passing the mix on to the next. After which point I pasted the parts together to create a continuous set. You can see the original Essential Jungle Mix here.

The series returns for 2014 in two parts – First up is the 1993 to 1994 selection from myself, DJ eXtreme (Hardscore), Dave M AKA Brian Badonde, Tommy The Coat and DJ Vapour (36 Hertz).

All DJ’s went in deep, with a few elusive tunes such as the fabled unreleased Bukem track ‘Atmospherical Jubilancy’ courtesy of DJ eXtreme, and some VIP dubs from Vapour.

Enjoy, and hold tight for part two (1995 – 1996) coming very soon.
