The only Moving Shadow stuff that got played would be ‘Terrorist’ by Renegade aka Ray Keith (#1 Amen tune ever) or ‘Dred Bass’ by Dead Dred, and they weren’t exactly archetypal Shadow. , Pure’s “Anything Test” as included in the Woebot Mix, stuff by Bizzi B & Pugwash, Rude Bwoy Monty, Zinc, Phantasy, and Ganja Max's fabulous "Rinse Out."įunny thing, at the time-1994-the ragga-jungle vibe was a tiny bit oppressive just because that was pretty much all you could hear at raves. Deemed at some point ‘second division’ and packed away- what was I thinking? Jungle Hits Volume 2 with lots of Tom & Jerry, junglized versions of dancehall tunes by Capleton, Half Pint, Frankie Paul, Ninjaman), Jungle Hits Volume 3 (with Splash’s incredible “Babylon”-“alla da youth shall witness tha day that Babylon shall FAAAAAAAAALL!”, even more dancehall remakes) Drum & Bass Selection 5 on Breakdown, edging into that spare militant/minimal 95 hardstep/rollers/jump-up sound, still quite a bit of ragga vibe in there though-SS remixing Cutty Ranks ‘Limb by Limb’-H.M.P. In the basement, where the storage lockers are, I was looking for the tree decorations, saw a cardboard box fulla cds, ‘oh go on then’. Woebot sets the tone for 2004 with a splendid ragga-jungle 94 bizniz mix… well I haven’t actually downloaded it yet, it would take about 5 hrs on my set-up, but just the tracklist alone gave me a mighty memory-rush What technicolor got in its Xmas stocking Heronbone with the AvantYob take, + prognosis for Grime in the04 Worlds of Possibility with tthe Beatnik’s eye view of the year STRANGE LIMBO BETWEEN XMAS AND NEW YEAR’S EVE READING BONANZAĪnd a belated merry Boxing Day to our Great Britain and Commonwealth readers!
