The Facebook group recently grew to over 700 like minded members, so to celebrate Maph has put together “Beautifully Crafted Jungle Volume 1”. The first of what will hopefully be a regular mix series from Beautiful Crated Jungle’s affiliates and members.

As the group’s jungle tastes are so similar to ours, we are pleased to say Drumtrip is now affiliated with Beautifully Crafted Jungle and hope to come up with some collaborations on mixes and write-ups over the coming months!

To the mix; Maph opens with the utterly majestic Sweet Dreamz by DJ Crystl before digging deep with tracks from Peshay, Atlas, Aquasky and a personal favourite of mine by DJ Krust. Check it out. And remember to join the group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/195082833944478/

On a rainy afternoon there is not much else to do but dig through the tracks, get a bit dusty and drink copious amounts of tea; and this mix is the end result.

The mix covers a nice spectrum of deep, atmospheric and ‘intelligent’ beats from 1994 to 1996, peppered, as you would expect, with Good Looking and Moving Shadow releases.
Within a few tracks such as the uplifting ‘Travelling Pt 2‘ and Gwange’s ‘Motionless‘ you can still very much hear the 1993 hardcore influences trying to get escape, in contrast to the more laid back and perhaps refined drum and bass sounds of later releases like ‘Dusted‘ by Axis or PFM’s take of David Holmes – Gone.

Enough talk now, allow 70 or so minutes to drift away…..
