Shere Khan 'Jungle juicy funk'

In 2001 I collaborated with Aydin Hasirci (aka ATFC / OnePhatDeeva) on a 12" single called 'Jungle Juicy Funk.' Aydin was working with me at Uptown Records in Soho and we often talked of getting together and making a track, so in the winter if 2001 I headed over to his home studio just outside of Kingston with some vinyl and a few ideas. After a few days in the studio we had a basic backing track and after adding some vocal samples we had our track!! We mixed two versions which later became the A and B sides of a 12" white label that sold about 3000 copies with exports which sold well in Europe and reached as far as Australia. 'Jungle Juicy Funk' also appearing on an early Ministry of Sound/Defected compilation mixed by Full Intention & Smokin Jo.

haha, I recall someone playing this 'disguised' at Bluebird, Chelsea one Friday night!
Paul 'trotted' over to the decks, clocked the spiral design on the label (not recognising it) and took a seemingly long time to realise it was Jungle Juicy Funk!
So Paul, after all these years, will you reveal the name of the 'illicit sample' you used in that track? You're outside of the UK now, so doubt the copyright police will come after you?!?!

HAhaha... I have yet to meet anyone who has been able to name the sample. So for now it's going to remain a mystery Mr Warne.

Love to the family.
