I guess I could do these posts for years, especially seeing as we have thousands of them posted over at the rolldabeats sample forum but I might try to do a few more non-dnb/jungle/hardcore ones here when I come across them
Massive one here, anyway.
Everyone who has ever heard a jungle tune (or watched Father Ted ;] ) should know this one

This popped up randomly in my life the other day…what a blast from the past!
Back to 1987 with this one, can’t believe I was 9 at the time and still remember it well. Perhaps it’s another of those tunes that appears on Heart or Magic FM on the drunken cab journeys home.

I stumbled oncorazonazultw’s awesome Quiet Storm mix on YouTube a while back and have had it on the iPod for ages now. I just checked the rest of his videos the other day and they’re killing me, some great mixes with videos all added on top of some really top 80s tunes, loads that I haven’t heard for years and had totally forgotten about.
Great to see more people not playing the same old crap and making a proper go of mixing it up.

Come and join me for this awesome night. Been down there many, many times and it’s always totally wicked
==============================================
Insession kicks off its summer programme on Saturday the 16th May by inviting three of our favourite patrons to get behind the decks for another alternative throwdown.
1xtra’s premier dnb host Bailey will be joining us as he’s a long overdue guest and knows exactly what we expect down at the sessions.
He’s a multi award winning radio presenter as well as long standing resident DJ for Goldie’s Metalheadz outfit and Fabio’s night Swerve.
Bailey’s true passion lies with being the best selector possible and we’ve no doubt that’ll apply to his styles outside dnb.
Another session regular, Zero T, has agreed to come back and refresh our minds with his varied influences. Zero T is arguably the brightest rising star out of Dublin’s dnb scene and his influences range from the early 90s conscious hip-hop sounds of Pete Rock, Premier and ATCQ to UK trip hop artists and labels such as Mowax, Ninja Tune and Massive Attack. Add to that a great knowledge of 70s soul, funk and blue note jazz and you can imagine why we’re looking forward to his return.
Finally Mr Haste will be getting involved, bringing evidence to the table of his serious vinyl addiction and unhealthy knowledge of archiving records. We’re not sure exactly what to expect from Tom but do know he’s collected most styles known to man and is never afraid to play them!
Also don’t forget to catch Valve recordings Craggz who will be road testing his new house productions and Bensamba who will be dropping more trademark brasilian broken beats for the early starters..

Finally being subscribed to a million and one eBay searches paid off
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=170324762716
Usually the emails I get (14 or so every day) just have loads of stuff (that I want) but is too expensive. Bastards.
Now I get the last laugh – two 12s for a bargain £7. The Tango one alone sells for £10-15
Nice
(I’ll quit while I’m ahead in this one and neglect to tell you that I own one of these twice now)
