Plug releases:

Plug 1,2 and 3 EPs (plug 1 + 2 available in one release)
Drum'n'Bass for Papa LP

numerous other remixes and collaborations that I know exist, but that's all.

Rave-style jungle? I was struggling for a term there, but it's sometimes
known as jump-up jungle over here - however, what I'm alluding to is a more
sophisticated and accomplished form. It's distinctive features are
confident use of samples (i.e. using a well-known hip-hop, jazz or soul
sample, then completely obliterating it with really sick basslines and
drops, but with style!) and driving breakbeats. Yet another style, being
pioneered by Grooverider at the moment, for example Share The Fall remix
and the Kemistry VIP remix. Fierce and rude, I do not think we shall ever
see its like again! (until it's copied over and over). Don't forget
Dillinja, Lemon D, Decoder, Neotech, the rest of the Full Cycle Crew
(Krust, Suv, Die) - all these fellas are British.

Comps:

V Classic
