CAMO UFOs

A Jungle revivial is brewing and (thee) Mike B and Nate Day have got a lot to say about it. Their recent 90’s style jungle remixes as Camo UFOs for The Count and Sinden's “Mega”, and Major Lazer's “Pon De Floor” have been blowing up parties worldwide and received radio play on the world renowned BBC Radio 1 platform by Annie Mac and Toddla T. They have received the stamp of approval from Fool's Gold and Mad Decent, two of the most respected and innovative independent record labels and have official remixes in the bag for Mike Posner , The Hardy Boys, Nouveau Yorican, Them Jeans and South Rakkas Crew.People are ready, and these two seasoned dj/producers and their deep crates of vinyl display their love for old school UK jungle and hardcore and take it back to a time when amen breaks, techno stabs, and fat basslines ruled the dancefloor while adding their own modern twist to it.They are currently working on an EP with Sinden for his Grizzly imprint and turning out tons more original material and remix work.

*THANKS TO IMRI FOR THE AMAZING FLYER DESIGN!!!**

Here is just a little thing I threw together for some friends, more or less a recreation of an old anonymous mixtape that made the rounds of our circle during the mid 90's Philly rave scene. For whatever reason it became know as the "Frankie Bones Jungle Tape", most likely because it was some unknown (awesome) jungle DJ's mix taped over a Frankie Bones tape, as the techno-centric Bones was notorious for rarely playing jungle sets, let alone recording them (the shear amount of Frankie Bones in circulation at that time completely supports my theory!).

Whether it's Bones or not, the mix is a fucking wicked one, but as the proud owner of one of the only copies in existence of the O.G. cassette, I could not in good conscience upload the actual mix, simply due to its expected disintegration making it almost virtually impossible to listen to at this point.

The beauty of the mix is absolutely the track selection , a stinky, stuttering ragga funk that gives way to roughneck future business. Cause of its plain and simple awesomeness I recreated it, using my vinyls and some recently obtained mp3's, attempting to recreate as much of the vibe and punch of the original mix. Hope you enjoy.
