Jungle Brother

"I got so much funky shit inside my brain
I couldn't explain, I couldn't explain
You wouldn't understand, I couldn't explain"

Posting this today for Dev and the crew over at BlogFreshRadio. I was speaking to Dev today, contributing to their end of year show, and he mentioned that he was into drum 'n' bass so I thought of this sweet little number that I had tucked away.
I cannot believe that this album is 10 years old! I remember well getting this album as I was managing a clothes store, called Hobo in Dublin which is no longer around. The CD was a promo with a bonus disc with remixes of some of the tunes. Even then, like now, I was more interested in the remixes.
We played this album (as well as Roni Size/ Reprazent's New Forms) at full volume during our Saturday rushes. These tunes certainly got the customers into the mood and kept the staff going with its high energy and stimulating sounds.

So, to Dev and team I wanted to say thanks. These guys (and gals) have stepped into an open spot to produce a great weekly online radio show that covers just some of whats going on with music blogs around the world. I for one have been exposed to many great artists and blogs through the show and I wish them every success as they go full steam ahead into 2008.

This is the Jungle Brothers tune Brain remixed by Natural Born Chillers.

Ah f**k it-two tunes from the JB's while we're here. This is one of, if not THE, first hip-house tune that blew away the clubs. Superb tune!
From Epitonic: "The group went into the studio with NYC underground club and house DJ/producer Todd Terry, and hip house was born. "I'll House You" became a bona fide international hit, making Terry one of the most in-demand remixers to this day."
