Delving once again into the Meltdown series, this breakbeat gem adventures heavily into the dub and reggae influenced tracks which eventually evolved into ‘jungle’.  This was when you could clearly hear the differentiation from the house/techno inspired breakbeats.  Ah, the memories…back when raves were fun.  Enjoy this little time capsule of UK rydims.

This is the mix that started it all.  1991/92 in all it’s glory.  The rave scene was just emerging in Chicago, the music was fresh off the boat, and the sense of Midwest community was strong.  It has everything from Jam ‘n’ Spoon to Moby to Richie Hawtin to Underground Resistance.  Only 200 cassettes were produced (with original artwork here!), but it reached many a raver near and far.  Take a trip back to the early days of the tribal/trance sound at your downloading convenience!
