In 2008 Chicagoans mourned the loss of Brian Blackeye, the city's first and primary hardcore-jungle MC. To initiate the preservation of his memory in 2009 and beyond, we present the final recording of the full C.H.A. lineup: JJ Jellybean, DJ Snuggles, and MC Blackeye. These previously unreleased tapes were submitted by Dubshack and are exclusive to GoldenEraJungle.com

| | Revenge of the oldskool anthems! | |
| | | |
| | Tango & Ratty are two names known for their | |
| | long standing productions in the drum and | |
| | bass scene. While they both recorded | |
| | individually for such labels as Formation and | |
| | Creative Wax earlier, their first pairing was | |
| | in early 1993 with this two-tracker. "Tales | |
| | From The Darkside" is a fairly straight | |
| | forward track, basic and with no major | |
| | surprises, but the intensity and the energy | |
| | that it exudes never fails to cause a peak | |
| | moment in a DJ's set. The "kick a hole in | |
| | the speaker" vocal snippet is sampled from | |
| | Eric B and Rakim's hip-hop classic | |
| | "Microphone Fiend" off of their Follow The | |
| | Leader album. "Final Conflict" on the | |
| | flipside is another jungle tekno banger, with | |
| | its sinister sounding ringing bells and deep | |
| | warbling bassline. | |
| | | |
| | Both tracks on this EP were licensed to the | |
| | Kickin label later and appeared on their | |
| | "Kickin Hardcore Leaders" compilation | |
| | available exclusively in the US. It also | |
| | spawned a remix EP, featuring a slightly | |
| | inferior "Tales From The Darkside" remix by | |
| | Mickey Finn & Bay-B Kane as well as a much | |
| | superior "Final Conflict" remix by T&R | |
| | themselves, as well as a brand new bonus | |
| | track "The Killer". More recently, drum & | |
| | bass guru Digital gave "Tales From The | |
| | Darkside" a complete reworking for the | |
| | Timeless label, and after being out of print | |
| | for nine years, the original two-tracker has | |
| | been repressed and is now available from all | |
| | decent record shops and distributors, putting | |
| | a severe dent in the average $100 asking | |
| | price on eBay for an original pressing. | |
| | | |
| | Respect to all the hardcore massive. | |

| |
| SOUR has been releasing good quality drum'n'bass, jungle & oldskool rips to |
| the internet drum'n'bass public since summer 1999. Originally a small |
| operation, we have now reached levels of international acclaim. |
| |
| SOUR is dedicated to both the availability and promotion of music to the |
| public, and our rips are intended to reflect these ideals. Specifically: |
| |
| . SOUR is dedicated to the promotion of new music that is currently |
| available to buy. If you like something you hear, you are obliged to |
| attempt to purchase an original copy. |
| |
| . SOUR is dedicated to the promotion of old music that may no longer be |
| available to buy. |
| |
| . SOUR is dedicated to the expansion and infiltration of drum'n'bass |
| worldwide! We provide a service where none is available, specifically in |
| many remote countries where traditional distributors can not afford to |
| target. Also, the availability of drum'n'bass in an easily accessible |
| form expands the potential for real world sales to people who may not |
| otherwise have considered buying drum'n'bass. |
| |
| . SOUR is dedicated to the expansion of the online and offline real world |
| scenes. With more listeners enjoying what they hear, clubs and venues can |
| only expect MORE people to attend events; DJ's can only expect MORE |
| people to pay to see THEM. |
| |
| By accident of today's current real world distribution arrangements, many |
| artists will find that SOUR releases IMPROVE their real world sales; |
| especially for items only on vinyl. This is the basis upon which SOUR |
| operates. |
