JUICE RECORDS and SPLASH RECORDINGS
THE FOUNDATION COLLECTION
A truly incredible collection of foundation Jungle / Drum & Bass from these ground-breaking labels. Splash aka Undercover Agent aka Daz has been with SubBase since the start, having signed to Suburban Base Publishing (including the iconic track Babylon) back in the 90s and remained with us ever since. As part of the SubBase Family we now collaborate once again to deliver a perfect package of in-demand classics and unearthed dubplate specials.
Daz Ellis, most commonly known as Undercover Agent, was a true pioneer of the emerging jungle scene back in the early 90s. He was heavily involved in the pirate radio scene, setting up the infamous Cyndicut FM to transmit breakbeats & basslines across the airwaves of the South East of England, noted for having one of the strongest and widest reaching broadcast signals of the period.
Under various aliases he produced music that defined the sound of the dancefloor. Early releases featured on the genre-defining Suburban Base & Lucky Spin labels.
As Splash his seminal track Babylon set the standard for how amens and ragga infused samples should sound, a format that has stood the test of time and can still be heard today regularly getting played by the worlds biggest drum & bass DJ Andy C! This compilation includes the 2 most in demand versions of this foundation anthem.
In 1994 off the back of his success he launched Splash Recordings, then the year after Juice Records came into fruition. Under the guises of DAZ, M.T.S. and various releases as Splash Collective, all on his own Juice & Splash imprints he gained an army of dedicated fans, demand from whom has led to the creation of this special vinyl box set!
For this exclusive compilation project Undercover Agent went searching back through his original studio master tapes from his impressive back catalogue to find both the original recordings, and some of the alternative edits that never made it to vinyl back in the day. There were also a handful of special versions made exclusively for DJs to play on dubplate that are now available for the first time ever.
Exclusive to this collectors box set are 6 never before released versions of classics such as Oh Gosh, Five Tones, Jah Works, an alternative mix of DJ Zincs remix of Hard Disk & Bass Kick that were unearthed from the original session DATs!
This album features 16 of his most legendary tracks, remastered & pressed across 4 slices of vinyl. Limited Edition collectible pressing never to be reissued!
RIP Daz
Babylon is one of the eternal jungle anthems. One of the best Amen rinses ever.
Still makes me slap the walls.
Rest in peace Daz.
RIP 🙏🏿 Thanks for the music
RIP 💪
We "Witnessed the day". Babylon on it's own is in my Hall of Jungle Fame! RIP to a visionary!
RIP DAZ 🙏🏻 ❤
Never forget hearing babylon on dub at lazerdrome innersense in 94. My days the place went mad. People slapping the walls. People jumping up and down it was crazy
RIP Daz.. You will always be loved and never forgotten... Cyndicut 100.4 massive forever.
Rest in peace brother .. my heart goes out to all yoyr family amd friends
Guy is an absolute credit to the scene, Cyndicut was my childhood
Rest in peace my brother ❤️
Wow, the alchemist behind the anarchy. "Oh Gosh" was peak dance hall euphoria. Macshimum boost, Daz.
Thank you for the music 🙏
Legendary. I'll never forget first hearing Grooverider premiere 'Babylon' in 1994 on Kiss 100 FM. It was an almost unexplainable feeling hearing that tune, even at a time when there was so much incredible music being released, that track felt like it was beamed down from another dimension. Daz's work over many years was immense, producing so many genre defining dancefloor smashers.
Rest In Peace Daz, you've been a huge influence on many. Love and light ♥☀
I listen to that show on Kiss too! Remember Grooverider getting uncharacteristically animated when he introduced Babylon, saying something like, “listen to this, this is the way we want to go!”
RIP 🙏
Rest easy Daz. 🧡🧡🧡
You're a legend! Thanks for the amazing productions and keeping Cyndicut FM on air for all those years. Bless!
Rip Daz ✌️ Long time veteran never to be forgotten 👊

I want to say a HUGE thank you for what you did for me back in the late 90s. you may not remember, but I sent you a CD asking if you could put the original Five tones on their, but you said at the time the original masters were lo9st due to the vinyl printing company closing. so instead you sent me a dubplate of the track instead.

I never realised how much of a big part of Jungle the founder of Cyndicut FM had in Jungle and never reaslised these BIG tunes were his work which played a huge part in the whole Jungle scene. Oh and speaking of huge, that signal he put out which was on 90.6 from that pylon when I heard it was reaching me all the way down in Worthing, West Sussex coast - crystal clear!!
