Sad news has come in today that DJ Randall passed away this week. The quintessential jungle DJ in many peoples eyes but he has a history stretching back way before to the times of acid house.
He was initially a DJ on Centreforce FM before moving on to Rave FM. At the time he had the nickname "Bad Boy Boogie" and listening to his sets from back then his mixing was just as tight as the later hardcore and jungle years.
Not many of his early mixes have surfaced to date online but the ones that have are essential listens so i thought id try and list the tunes played and give links to listen to where possible.
