Pascal & Sponge – Raw Basics / Red Face

If there’s one tune that takes me back…. Never fails.

More mid-90’s ruffneck jungle reissue biznizz. Firin’ breakbeats, firin’ style…..I’ll stop talking like this, sorry. But seriously, this is proper. Also check out their ‘Nosebleed’ 12” for some serious darkcore swagger.

Class reissue, so thankful to deep jungle for allowing these tunes to see the light of day again without us punters having to remortgage the house to buy them

'Ang abaaat 175 green queens???? It's not even a rare one. Get a grip.
To Gud choons thow

A repress of this monster is coming on Deep Jungle in 2022!!!

Both versions are great. The original has the beautiful pads and is a more hardcore tune. the main hook has more definition but the drums are a bit grittier.
The tango version is straight up junglism with way better drum edits, but it lacks the same atmospherics without those beautiful pads in the background

This is the Mix.. sorry Tango but you just can't beat this, 93 hardcore at its best buy on sight if you can find a good copy.

Anyone know where that amen break come from? it's different than the usual ones

This version was an absolute classic back in the day. People confuse this tune with the Tango remix which is also a great tune, but I prefer this original version. So many top DJs played this, although I personally Randall spinning this and sending everyone mental. The eerie breakdown has such a strange feel to it, almost like something I heard in my childhood but can't quite put my finger on. Top tune, stood the test of time and is only going to become more and more sought after. 30 quid plus already for a decent copy. Only going to go up in price,so grab a copy now. Essential for any old school jungle DJ.

This is a wicked tune, but in my opinion the much underrated tango remix of raw basics is the better version. Check it out on face records!
