What Jamie doesn’t know about mid 90s jump up Drum and Bass  can’t be worth knowing.
And as well as writing here at Drumtrip, he is also a regular at Drum and Bass Arena*, our mates Every Day Junglist and UK Bass Music.

* Check out his interview with one of Jungle’s unsung heros; DJ Teebone.

For his Sessions #03  mix he takes us through some of his favourite rough and ready jungle cuts with a few anthems, and a couple I’ve not heard of.

Here’s a few words on the mix from the man himself…

Some of these tracks go way back to my school days, especially the likes of Ray Keith’s ‘Ridge Racer’ and Bad Behaviors ‘Bust It Like This’. This was the era of Made 2 Fade mixers, Pro 150’s and cheap Soundlab strobes, it was also a fantastic time to be playing House, Jungle, Hardcore – anything that was still underground. For anyone involved in this fantastic era of UK music this is a chance to relive some of my favourite memories, exclusively put together for Drumtrip.

Shout’s to Lee Inject, Guy Phobic, Simon, Matt KD, Kieran, Danny Frost.

A much remixed tune, the DJ Hype version was always popular too, with his trademark octave-bouncing basslines and pitched down drums that he pulled off to awesome effect at the time.

Although I’m assuming that most people know this the reggae sample is from what must be one of the most sampled tunes in jungle history, Cutty Ranks – Limb by Limb. As a side note, the SS mix of this tune released on Suburban Base was actually a remix of the Marvellous Cain track but had to be released with Cutty Ranks’ name on it for sample purposes after Greensleeves (or whoever owned the tune) got in touch.

“G-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-get mash up!”
