Mixtape Alert: 95 Jungle Sound Murderah
Back once again for another old school collection. This time we’re going to the back of the crate for some heavyweight classics that will absolutely melt your face. Spanning the crucial ’92 – ’95 era, we let drum and bass legends Roni Size, Goldie, Bay B Kane, Andy C, and Aphrodite take us on the ultimate jungle safari back to where it all began.
Welcome to Hardcore Math User’s ’95 Jungle Sound Murderah mixtape!
These are some of the songs that got me seriously hooked on the jungle / drum & bass scene when I first got my start as a producer in the early ’90s.

Pulling audio from sci-fi thrillers, spaced-out ambient, and pitched-down techno from back in the day, Robot Dub Killer drops beats so heavy your squinty bloodshot eyes will roll right out of your head.
Mixtape Alert: Class of ’93 – Techno Acid Meltdown
Here comes the 2nd installment of my Class of ’93 mixtape series!
It wasn’t enough to comb the back of the crate for the best breakbeat rave hysteria. I had to kick it up another notch and pull out all the hardcore, psychedelic techno I could find, stick it in the blender, and fuck the shit up.
Made with tracks exclusively from 1993 and back, this 80 minute long journey through acid will be a great introduction to the roots if you’re young, and a flashback-inducer if you’re not.
