I was just checkin’ out this site called Golden Era Jungle and realized that this year marks the 15th birthday of Jungle. There are a whole bunch of 1993 mixes by DJs like Krome & Time, Remarc, and the one below by Dr. S Gachet.
In Gashet’s 1993 mix you can still hear a lot of early hardcore rave music influence but much of the jungle sound is already there. I’ve also linked to a 1995 mix by Gachet. That was my favorite year for jungle. A mere 2 years after its inception it had developed into a mature and utterly slammin’ sound that I’m still in love with.

Hi all–here’s ANOTHER mixtape (and this time it’s an actual tape, as in two sides, totalling 90 minutes) that I made for a Dutch mixtape blog called ‘t Nieuwe Werck…it’s a bunch of Hardcore Rave choons from ‘90 - ‘92. It’s primarily Belgian tunes, but on second listen there’s a fair amount of US & UK material, and even some Italian stuff on there too. Tracklist is formatted as follows:
Artist; Title (Record Label / Country / Year).
Fancy!
Now here’s the mix:

The fine folks at 88 Music Blog (a party-throwing collective out of DC) have just posted a mix of mine–figured I’d link to it here!

I’m really really really feeling this label lately. They’re a dubstep label run out of the Anthem Records shop in Portland, and their stuff is just SICK (not to mention their sleeve design–BEAUTIFUL!)
Seriously–they’re effing GORGEOUS sleeves–hand-printed label logo on a jacket cut from the kind of brown kraft paper that we all know and love from the bags they give you at the record shop (or the comic book shop, liquor store, porn palace…but I know them from the record store).
Anyway, LoDubs has released tunes from perennial Mashit favorite Starkey, South3rn, 6Blocc (aka L.A. jungle producer R.A.W.), and Bombaman (including a super-hot Bombaman remix of Solvent), and have an INTENSE list of slated releases for the near future: Mashit fave Pacheko, DZ (including a DZ Morcheeba remix), South3rn’s absolutely MASSIVE and super-sought-after “Fully Loaded” b/w “Muslim Dub”, a Nadja remix by Vex’d, and a 2CD mix by 6Blocc. Check out their site (just a myspace page at the moment, http://www.myspace.com/lodubsrecords), and have a free mixset of LoDubs tunes (old stuff and super-duper-tippy-top-secret unreleased dub plate business) courtesy of Jon @ Anthem:

Ghislain just dropped a blazin’ mix for Pitchfork’s Forkcast series. In honor of the debut of album No Ground Under on Ninja Tune in the States this month, Poirier compiled a DJ mix consisting entirely of material created by himself (along with remixes). There’s a lot of stuff from his new album along-side other nuggets:

Peter Hollo from Sydney, Australia’s Utility Fog radio show recently emailed asking if we could “bring Kid Kameleon out of hiding” for a 
Mashit DJ Mix. Soon thereafter Kid K popped his head out and offered up not just one, but a 2-part mix, to be released jointly by Mashit and the awesome London-based culture portal, Spannered.
Here at Mashit we’re serving up the Aim High mix which is ironically full of super-LOW dubstep basslines. Meanwhile over at Spannered they’re presenting the Aim Low mix which we haven’t heard yet but can only assume has a lot of high-end frequencies going on(?).
In addition, Kid K commissioned Caracas, Venezuela’s graphic designer extraordinaire, Inkcore to design art for the 2 mixes. You can check out more of his work here and here.
Without further adu, allow us to give you:

The very first Mashup of the Week that I posted on this blog was a mix of 50-Cent’s I Get Money with Lexie Lee’s Woman Run It Vocal. It was a weird one. I had to pitch up Lexie’s vocals to get them to work harmonically with the beat. 
You can hear it tactfully mixed in to DJ Kowalski’s Tetrachave mix, and you can also still download it, and the a-capella if you feel like doing your own mix.
More recently, while working on my mix for Samurai.FM, I produced another mashup using Woman Run It, this time on the Fugee-La beat, and I’m much happier with it. Not only is Fugee-La one of my all-time favorite beats, but I didn’t have to tweak Lexie’s vocals all to hell, and you can hear her wicked lyrics much more clearly:
Download: DJ C (Ft. Lexie Lee, Fugees); Lexie La
Watch: The Fugees; Fugee-La
As I sit here there’s a Hanukkah-van (?) driving by my window with a manora on top 
blasting out music with a voice saying “It’s the second night of Hnukkah. bla bla bla…” I’m sure they’re having a good time in the van, but I doubt it can compete with the dance party going on inside my sound-system right now. I’m listening to the Tetrachave mix by Belo Horizonte, Brazil’s DJ Kowalsky, and my speakers are having a blast. I’m sure your’s will too.
Download: DJ Kowalsky; Tetrachave
