"When I initiated this project, I thought I'd do two mixes & that would be it. The impetus wasn't exhausted at two though, and quickly grew to six...around the six mark it took on a momentum of its own & the goal became eight or ten. At 10 (in ten weeks), I'm done, dog-tired, ready to put my feet up & just listen to the fruits of my efforts for a while.
Overall, I envision this to be a rough equivalent of a ten chapter audio book on the development of my personal tastes in jungle after spending approximately $35,000 on vinyl & countless hours exploring as much of the music as I could get my dirty download finger on. The journey goes from ruff to ragga to skanking to diva to piano to atmospheric to hardstep to hipstep to experimental & back around the spectrum again for a second, third, fifth, tenth look...each one with a particular emphasis on the art & science of the amen break. Along the way we conducted an in depth investigation of three of my favorite artists, two of my favorite labels & five assortments of tunes I've come to love both long ago & in recent times.
The last chapter is a selection from the various vinyl rips I've posted up over the years, a "best of" so to speak, although I gather any person making such a selection would come up with something different.
One aim, which I hope I accomplished, was to help expose you to new artists, labels, tunes & styles you hadn't encountered before...and maybe even to help re-ignite your enthusiasm for jungle.
I'll still be making mixes in the future, but I plan on returning to some of my other loves, namely breakcore, 94-95 happy hardcore, 92-93 hardcore, glitchcore, trip-hop, illbient & mixed genre mixes.
I'll also be going through all the mixes & doing any minor adjustments to the levels I think necessary & re-uploading them at various bit rates, so stay tuned for that if you're interested.
For now though, as one of my favorite cartoons used to say at its close,
that's all folks,
I hope you enjoy the music as much as I do."
