jungle remixes of non-jungle artists

This was everywhere on white in 96. Not a million miles away from their effort on Shadow 100.

Posted this one before, lovely understated reggae rollidge.

There was a whole EP of these mixes, including Omni trio, Rupert, and Dave Wallace

Another in a long line of mediocre photek chart mixes

Hype rinsing a dull formula on this one, Photek on the flip.

Springheel Jack had a ton of industry remixes, presumably cos they were closer to the biz

This one's pretty great, if a bit of a vibe killer

There's a shit ton more of this stuff. The first wave 93/94 is the best, 95 on its mostly cash in car ad business, but there's a seam of obscure quality that has mostly been unmined and is all cheap as chips on discogs.

This got a major reissue last year, went from £80 to a fiver:

With the risk of sounding like a dick, the cutty ranks remix I posted is by far the best tune in this thread so far, for fairly obvious reasons I think

Droid droppin science!

Selectabwoy should do a mix of the creme, organized chronologically if possible

I'm bunging them all in a YouTube Playlist

Looks like there were also Foul Play and Sounds of Life remixes of The Shamen in 1985?

There were! I distinctly remember not picking this one up at the time as it seemed like a lazy reworking of Ignorance from the FP album. Its pretty nice actually.

Not bad this. There aren't a lot of obscure Source Direct + Photek tunes going for peanuts on discogs. There's a decoder remix 12" as well, but no trace of it on YT.

not forgetting this whole slightly odd excursion

None of these tunes are all that good really. A garage version of this thread would probably be more fruitful, but I can't remember the names of the tunes any more, my memory's shot.

 

[Benny B]

Are you sad/laughing because I don't think the tunes are all that good or because of my memory loss?

This is why we need more reaction emoji options

None of these tunes are all that good really.

Two of my favourite Dillinja tracks:

Another in a long line of mediocre photek chart mixes

I like this!
One problem jungle faced remixing non jungle tunes was the tempo would never match so all you could do is sample a bit of it, like here. So more often than not they’re entirely new tunes with a bit of the original stuck on and so the quality of the track depends on how good a tune the producer wants to give away.

The best of the remixes of this was by Shy FX.
