EZ Rollers – Retro
It’s sad… In the 20th century, in the 1990s we have to still go the same bullshit route that other artists have to go to get acceptance. If it wasn’t for the independents, if it wasn’t for the small little cities, and the few little ghetto guys trying to make music it would have never happened. Some of these

Marvellous Cain – Hitman (Ascend & Dead Dread Remix)
Forget Marvellous Cain’s original, this is the one. Using a similar intro to the original, the Back 2 Basics boys rip a new hole in it and take the original sound system sample and pitch it down to cool effect then drop in the inevitable amen tearout. A much remixed tune, the DJ Hype version

(extra props for dreaming up the phrase ‘michelin starred musical cake’) In 1994 jungle music was alive with ideas. Before the split the happy hardcore was totally complete there was still cross pollination between

TOTD: Dopestyle – Fade Away
Today’s tune is possibly my favourite track on Hype’s Ganja Records alongside the Wu-Tang sampling ‘Tiger Style‘. Very simple and quite minimal in comparison to some of Hype’s work around this time, the track’s focal point comes from a sampled vocal taken from the Junior Byles‘ roots reggae track of the same name. Add into the mix an
