Just wondered if anyone who frequents this forum is into spinning Oldskool UK Hardcore Breaks / Jungle Techno ?
I am always interested in getting to know others who share the same taste in tunage as myself. I'm not talking 1994+ happy hardcore but anything from 1988 acid house to 1993 jungle.
My favourite era of underground dance music has to be late 1991 to early 1992, to me it was an amazing time where new sounds & ideas were created on a weekly basis, the whole scene was in full swing with the best events happening, not to mention the quality and availability of the little 'things' lol !

Now Im settled with kids and that 'life' seems a million miles away, yet I still love to play and mix the music from that era, nothing else seems as good. I did start buying modern electro vinyls about 4 years ago but stopped last year when all the new releases seemed to sound the same, and it all kinda went commercial-sounding. I liked dubstep for a few weeks but quickly became bored of that too. Theres just so much variety in oldskool hardcore that I never seem to get bored ...
I would love to hear if anyone else who reads/posts feels the same way..............

Could you give some examples of artists your talking about? It sounds good. I like old techno and old jungle, havn't heard of hardcore jungle techno before though.

Hi deadcityradio,
To be honest, I dont like getting caught up in all the different styles/genre's/bollox lol but back in the day when I was out at all-nighters constantly the term 'hardcore jungle-techno' was used by a few of the more well-known MC's in the 1991-1992 era.
I play and collect what I would describe as oldskool hardcore, which includes piano/vocal, jungle, techno, and other types of music released from the late 1980's up to about 1993 maybe early 1994. After mid 1994 the scene seemed to split (in the UK anyways) and you either listened to Jungle (which by then was almost DnB), or happy hardcore (bit cheesey lol).
I love the 1992-1993 Jungle but never really got into DnB, instead in 94 Ikinda went back to my 'roots' and started listening to housemusic again.
The 'era' I love to play/mix/listen to the most is 1990-1992.

A few examples:
Love Decade, Quadrophonia, LFO, 2 Bad Mice, Nightmares On Wax, Bass Construction, M.D.Emm ?
Record Labels which I love; Production House, Basement Records, Impact Records, Strictly Underground, Formation, F Project, Moving Shadow, and many more....

Does this sound like the sort of thing you are into ?
