Jungle

Got those unreleased dubs, heavy as fuck!
There is a new Suburban Base 30 year box set that has 2 Remarc tunes on, unreleased promo and an unreleased dub
Bit pricey tho

drama!


to quote slick rick, this kind of shit it happens every day <happens a lot and with the biggest labels (metalheadz, good looking etc)
 
30 years since jungle crossed over mainstream and hit the charts with M Beat and General Levy (reaching no. 8 in September 1994) (anyone feeling bloody old?! :D)



Admittedly, it wasn't a tune that did much for me at the time, there was just so much great stuff being put out that spring/summer, and by the time it went commercial it was already an old tune. And then there was the 'Jungle Committee' controversy :D But I've certainly re-evaluated it over the years for the important tune it is :cool:

Great little interview with Levy about it from DJ Mag....

 
24 Karat https://www.discogs.com/label/3832-24-Karat is a lesser known label but put out some of the earliest tracks by Kenny Ken, Facs, and Halfbreed aka Danny Styles - great interview here where Styles talks about his beginnings in Brixton, setting up the label with Lloyd Galloway (promoter of Innovation raves), releasing on the label, battling with drugs, and eventually ending up in Hull!



30 years on the label has been celebrated up here with some artworks :cool:
