old school jungle

Thank-you Tristan

Tristan Iofola at home in Toronto with a box of jungle tapes

Very sad to learn about the recent passing of our friend and fellow junglist Tristan Iofolla. Tristan reached out to us in the fall of 2019 about a collection of tapes that he had rescued from ending up in the dump.

Tape of Tapes - The Origins of the Old School Show

One of the sites that inspired us, the Toronto Rave Mixtape Archive, has got some nice sounding rips of the tapes played on the Old School Show.  It's nice to be able to hear them clean but there is something special about mic moments and CIUT sound bites.  Still, we have to send a big up to Wayne and the Toronto Mixtape Archive for keeping the old school alive, because without these sets all we'd have is the old school show like it was 1998 with no internets.
