"Jet Star. Two words most old skool jungle collectors eye with envy, in some cases seething jealousy, knowing how hard they are to come by and how perfectly they can hit the spot when you're in the mood for some funky homespun badboy groove. On the other hand, they can be a bitch and three-quarters to mix, and some of the tunes are so sketchily put together that they can sound "off" all on their own. Even so, whenever I venture into the sonic library of this major reggae distributor turned underground jungle label, my eyes are usually glazed over with a mixture of wonder and wishing, wishing that there were more, more releases and more of each release, that more of their catalogue numbers made sense in any form of logic, and that more artists had taken their cue from their example: funk, soul, rnb, ragga and jungle layered in just the right proportions as to allow the ears to feel the full bouquet of their palette teased out and tantalized into attentive submission. As such, I've long felt that an all Jet Star tribute mix was overdue, and word has come from the cellar that the brew has sufficiently aged, so I've broken out the antique glasses, served it up with a side of boomshot, and hope that as you make your way home tonight, or as you brock out after hours when the wife and kids are in bed, you feel I've given these slices of jungle history the treatment they deserve. Taking leave, I'll roughly paraphrase Mr. Psychedelic and say, let the world drop away awhile, tune in to 1995 London, break out your intoxicant of choice, lean back, turn on."
