Huge remix of Johnny Jungle’s Killa Sound by Krome and Time, released on Suburban Base Records in 1995. I don’t know what any of the samples in the track are; if you do, let me know.

Arsonist, by Urban Shakedown, came out on part 3 of Labello Blanco Recordings‘ Jungle Massive vs The Hardsteppers series in 1995. It features the vocals of DBO General.

I remember hearing Zinc and Friction drop it at Exit Festival in 2007 and it sounded bigger and better than any of the other modern jump-up Drum and Bass they played that night (maybe with the exception of Konflict’s Messiah): mighty Jungle music.

P-Funk is Pascal of True Playaz fame. This tune, P-Funk Era, was released in 1995 on Pascal’s label, Frontline Records. It samples Be With You by Mary J Blige. Quite simply a classic. If you don’t know this track then you are in for a treat.

Gunshot’s Wheel and Deal was released in 1994 on No U-Turn Records. The Ragga sample at the beginning is from Request the Style by Top Cat and the vocals before the drop are from Sweet Thing by Mary J Blige. Enjoy.

My mate (Nicholas Frederick Frank Franklin [no joke: that is his name; big shout to his parents for that one]) played me this mix of Renegade Snares, which is on the 1995 album Music for the Next Generation, during a recent trip to Copenhagen. I’ve had it on repeat ever since. It quite simply does not get much better than this; proper 4am music.

I went to Metalheadz Christmas party at Cable which was absolutely amazing; check out J Majik’s set: great tunes with the quintessentially crap, really loud MC.

I spent the next day digging through all my old Metalheadz vinyl and found the track below. I seem to post alot of Lemon D tunes but only because the man is just so good. This is LA is no exception; love its soaring, high pitched west-coast synth line: pure G-funk Junglist badness.

It’s not often that one can call Jungle a progressive form of dance music; but Lemon D’s I Can’t Stop, released in 1996 on Bryan G and Jumping Jack Frost’s V Recordings,  is an exception.

The track is a demonstration of how to layer breaks to create Jungle drums, as Lemon D takes his time to add new sounds every 8 or 16 bars. The track doesn’t drop until 3, 03. The drawn out nature of the music makes it a great for long mixes and it’s worth the wait as the bass sound at the drop is nothing short of mighty.

It is a frequently asked question amongst Junglists: who does run t’ings? I would proffer that, based on this track from his 1995 album Just An Example, it is in fact Shy FX who runs things. The vocal sample in this tune was later re-used by Shy FX in the Drum and Bass track Murderation.

Simple ‘Tings, by Shy FX, was released in 1995 on S.O.U.R. and contains a sample of Sitting and Watching by Dennis Brown. There are two mixes of this tune which are very similar and I can’t decide which I prefer so I’ve put up both.

The first 15 posts in the FTLOJ series have focused on individual releases. A mix is definitely overdue. Here is one complied by DJ Marky back in May of this year. It starts of with old Hardcore and progresses into Jungle and contains loads of great tracks such as Tom and Jerry’s Air Freshener and Undercover Agent’s Oh Gosh. As with all DJ Marky sets the mixing is impeccable. This compilation is a real jem and I strongly recommend putting it on your I-pod right this very minute.

More Dillinja but this time under his Capone alias. Massive is the b-side to Soldier which was the first realease on the Hard Leaders label in 1995. Based on peoples comments about drums re: FTLOJ #14, I think that Massive opens with the Think-break.

Sky is the b-side to Mutha*ucka which was posted up as FTLOJ#13.  The track makes extensive use of cool sporadic snare rolls which come in all over the place. I don’t know what any of the breaks used in the drums are. If you know, please do enlighten me.

Mutha*fucka is another release on Philly Blunt Records. This track, from 1995, incorporates Dillinja’s trademark square wave sound which he layers on top of the sub. The b-side to this release is another great track which I’ll post up next week.

This is the a-side to the second release on Roni Size and Krust’s Full Cycle label, Daylight. The song opens with a sample from Daylight by Ramp which was also used by A Tribe Called Quest in their track Bonita Applebum.
