Soul Jazz Records Presents - Black Riot: Early Jungle, Rave and Hardcore (LP)

Soul Jazz Records digs deep into the archives with Black Riot: Early Jungle, Rave and Hardcore, a carefully curated compilation that captures the raw, explosive energy of early 1990s UK jungle and hardcore. Featuring both seminal tracks and rare, hard-to-find gems, this collection showcases the genre's defining characteristics: punishing basslines, twisted Amen drum breaks, and heavy ragga vocal influences rooted in the original jungle ethos of "roots and culture."

The 12-track selection spans the full spectrum of the era, from the foundational hardcore pressure of Babylon Timewarp's hypnotic "Durban Poison" and Leviticus' all-time classic "Burial (Lovers Rock Mix)" to darkcore obscurities like Trip's "The Snowball" and overlooked ragga-bleep rave cuts from Nu Jacks. Soul Jazz Records has assembled a compelling document of a pivotal moment in electronic music history, bringing together both well-known names like DJ Krome & Mr. Time and lesser-known artists whose contributions helped shape the sound of jungle and drum and bass.
