DJ Extreme – All Tom & Jerry Mix
You won’t come across a more dedicated follower and collector of jungle than DJ Extreme.
Over the years Extreme and his site Hardscore have provided countless people with countless mixes, both his own and ripped tapes from his personal collection.
This mix here features all the early work from 4Hero alias Tom & Jerry, the selection takes you right up to the end up 1993 before T&J’s real ragga jungle influences kicked in, with tracks like Air Freshner and Maximum Style obvious omissions.
So basically you get the best of that hardcore / jungle crossover sound on tracks like the huge ‘We Can Be Free‘.
Sadly, thanks to an old skool producer (will remain unnamed) who is no longer active or selling any mp3′s online, has took offence to Extreme’s Hardscore site and subsequently managed to get ALL of the mixes on the site removed.
So for now, Hardscore is essentially dead, with no plans to resurrect it at any time soon.
So in homage to 4hero, Extreme and Hardscore, peep this one…

About Law
Main author and creator of Drumtrip. I have been listening to and mixing drum and bass in its various forms since 1998. Drumtrip was designed to celebrate what I consider the genre's peak years of 1992 to 1996.
The early tom & jerry stuff was like a distillation of all the best things about the R in this period. Jungle soul dreaminess. thanks for this
Fantastic!!!!
Really sad to hear about Hardscore
as a jungle lover, getting together with my girlfriend with slightly different tastes when it comes to electronic music, we’ve come from not always understanding each others’ music to appreciating and ultimately loving it.
I know Tom & Jerry and a lot of early Reinforced stuff were amongst the first productions to have her understanding my love for the music, to the point where she’s better informed on track titles and on how most tunes actually sound.
in the years of buying records, I only managed to put my hands on three shell plates, all of the later releases, so this mix is VERY welcome right about now
