Someone needs to start a tribute site to some of the great internet DJs we have had over the past ten years in d'n'b/jungle. I mean DJs who play out in their local area but are also prolific posting mixes in line. These guys become like archivists, as they assimilate musical knowledge into quality mixes (no tape-hiss, no MC) that we can all appreciate.
They often categorise their mixes, as there is so much mateiral to choose from that you need a theme to unify it sometimes.
The other side of this is that it can lead to an idealised version of how good the music was 'back in the day' - as we all know, there is a filler in a lot of club sets and this also applied to jungle back in the day. The answer to that is there are a lot of lost classics that don't turn up on your average old school night or compilation.
Full Cycle Recordings is a classic jungle label which kicked off back in 1994. Started by Roni Size and Krust, it represents the Bristol sound of the nineties - all deep bass and beats which click over in such a hypnotic way that their incredible complexity is disguised, until you give the tunes your full attention.
