Jungle

Cheers for linking Ach, that's great.
UK Apachi come across as a really good guy in this. Interesting seeing big figures like Shy when they were still young and upcoming.

Like a breath of fresh air, that.

1994 was so weird, I remember coming back down south from uni at xmas and jungle was about a bit but that summer, jesus christ, it was fucking everywhere like smoke - coming out of every car stereo, every open window...

Luka you're gonna love this! Never saw this one at the time, just the doc that was on Channel 4.

Thanks for this, this doc changed my life when ii originally aired.
Good memories

I actually remember watching that on the telly! The room I was in and everything. It is vivid pictorial memory.

For the better?

 

[Corpsey]

It just makes me wish I was raving in 1994

 

[wise]

For the better?

Of course!

That Jungle doc was amazing, but I think this might be even better...

A rare video of the Jungle Soundclash final held at the Roller Express. Kenny Ken and DJ Rap qualified from the 14.05.1994 heat and Mickey Finn and Devious D from the 18.06.1994 heat. Thanks to Ron45 for ripping the video.

She used to be a glamour model, that DJ Rap.

Phwoar!

She's all over Kenny Ken at the end of that soundclash video too, lucky bugger. He then goes on to give the shittest victory speech ever

it's still a million times less embarrassing than what DJ Crystl's up to these days *WARNING* do not click through if you want your wonderful memories of "Warpdrive" & "The Dark Crystl" & so on permanently sullied*. (and I say that as a huge fitness nut/gym dude - the whole "celebrity trainer"/corporate synergy vibe is just awful. I always wonder if he produced that hideous cheesy house tune himself...)

 

[Benny Bunter]

Seriously though, you need to see that video if you haven't already, there's some great footage in it. Big tunes all the way.

Underrated producer, though, wasn't she?

Not just a porn star, but an ambient jungle pioneer! It's like a Dissensus dream!

Bit off topic but I LOVE this tune

Yeah absolutely, it's fantastic, thanks for the link. Great tunes, great crowd, great atmosphere.
You're right that KK would have been better off not bothering with his victory 'speech' though, haha.

Edit: Plus seeing the whole thing def reinforced for me what Corpsey was saying about wanting to go back and rave in 94. Someone hurry up and finish that time-machine!

Dunno how many people here already know about this site, could equally get posted here or the harcore classics thread:

Tonnes of old club and rave sets, mostly from 92-93-94. Few radio sets on there too. Enough material to keep me going for several months at least I reckon.

and another resource, I would think it's been posted before here though, but I'm too lazy too look around & just in case it has not. I found some of my first, and now long lost, jungle tapes on there again:
