The Breakbeat Hardcore sound of the early 90s was becoming darker, heavier and more sophisticated. Ragga influences were being pushed further, basslines were getting deeper and producers were transforming familiar rave breaks into something completely new. Micky Finn was one of the DJs helping define that sound. His sets combined Jungle, Hardcore, ragga and breakbeat pressure, making him a major figure in the development of the early Jungle sound. And AWOL — A Way Of Life was one of the most important environments for that music. The May 1994 tape pack captures the AWOL sound at a crucial moment, with Micky Finn alongside DJs including Randall, Darren Jay, DJ Ron, Kenny Ken and Gachet. These recordings are invaluable because they preserve what was actually being played during the evolution of Jungle, rather than looking back at the period through later compilations. 📡 AWOL / MICKY FINN AWOL — A Way Of Life became one of the defining club nights of the UK Jungle movement. Micky Finn was part of the generation of DJs who helped turn the emerging Jungle sound into a powerful dancefloor culture, while his work with Ragga Twins, Urban Shakedown and Suburban Base helped connect Jungle with the wider rave audience. His DJ career became closely associated with heavyweight bass, ragga vocals and breakbeat-driven Jungle, making his sets an important part of the early-90s rave archive. This May 1994 AWOL recording captures Micky Finn during one of the most important stages of that evolution. 1994 Jungle. AWOL. Micky Finn. London. Straight from the golden era.
