Old School Rave and Jungle

[amc]

Going through my old tapes (hundreds) and shazaming a few I love but don't know the name of. Was listening to the track posted further up by Quadrophonia and another by them, Schizophrenia. Found a clip of the Quadrant Park with it playing, used to go cuckoo to it in there myself.

 

*WARNING FLASHING STROBE*

A couple of recent discoveries:

 

MIG 29 - MIG 29 (1991)

Off-Shore - I Can't Take The Power (1990)

 

 

[FuntimeDave]

Watched the documentary on Netflix tonight - United Nation 

Basically the story of One Nation and Terry Turbo 

Spent most of it trying to see if I was on any of the film clips ........

No great insights but nice to hear some of the stories

Two big Amen smashers from 95/96.

Posted before, many a year ago now. Still gives me shivers remembering being stood in a warehouse with several thousand people, being a slightly taller than average 6.3" I was just, just coming up on a Dove when this played and I was looking out across the throng. One of my most memorable feelings to this day. Stumbled upon it again tonight whilst I was feeling a little irrelevant. Feeling a little more plussed now.

Great find.  In a similar feeling I was thinking a few days ago how lucky we were to have these experiences.

Oh man, Manhattan Melody is one of my favourite d&b tracks. When the amen comes in, so satisfying. 

 

Another big amen drop track for me is this belter:

Claim to fame.. in 96 I bought my first place, turned out to be next-door to 2 guys called Kev and Karl.. Lemon D and Dillinja. Luckily I was into D&B so didn't mind the thundering coming through from their studios 

 

 

 

[Vimster]

Okay I know, but Altern-8 have their first new track in 27 years out and it's not that bad as it goes -

 

[Art Vandelay]

Found this bad boy on the new Josey Rebelle compilation. Still sounds ridiculously current.

 

 

[acidbearboy]

Nookie is excellent. Recently discovered this Tek 9 remix, which is great. Similar vibes to his own classic Only You.

 

Tek 9 - Slow Down (Nookie Remix)

 

Nookie - Only You

 

[acidbearboy]

Not forgetting his earlier efforts in a more happy hardcore style

 

 

 

Best thing Lisa Stansfield's ever been on!

[Art Vandelay]

Top Nookie knowledge! Will check those out now.

 

I'll stick up for Stansfield though, she was on some bangers in her day.

[acidbearboy]

That statement was basically hyperbole, but it wasn’t supposed to come across as me having a dig at her!  

[Art Vandelay]

As someone prone to hyperbole I completely understand!

 

All of those tracks were great. I'd heard the Tek 9 before as I think it was on a Reinforced compilation. Talking of Reinforced and therefore 4Hero I got a copy of this recently for a pittance. Lightyears ahead of its time.

 

 

[acidbearboy]

I had the 12" single of that. Excellence indeed. Had it on a CD compilation too, but they faded it out before the halfway mark! 

 

Just took delivery of a Drum & Bass CD bundle over the weekend, including some big names like Goldie & Roni Size / Reprazent, but also some stuff I'm not familiar with. Looking forward to digging in now I've ripped them all.

This is also a cracker.

A rare early 90s tune that was from the USA and wasn't Moby. Yeah I know the history but those fuckers neglected the scene.

Liam deffo had Electro 1.

[hub2]

Nice little mix which came up in my YouTube recommendations yesterday. Mostly late-90s, and thankfully light on the two-step.

 

 

[esar]

The Storm b2b Digital set from that Keep Hush Live is great too:

 

 

[PK]

 

Never knew this was the same lot as Ant Hill Mob

[esar]

 

[acidbearboy]

The stabs on this are just massive.

 

Petra & Co. - Just Let Go (dub)

Great thread about women producing jungle

 

 

 

[Don Rosco]

Didn't know that Extreme and The Rood Project were women. Got a few of those two on the shelves, and loads of the others. 

[Art Vandelay]

This is a good listen. A really cleverly made mixtape mash-up situation I think came out on tape a few years ago from a Filipino-Canadian crew of producers. There's a few of them and they're sort of a celebration of soundsystem culture I guess. This one chucks itself into the world of ragga jungle which is often my favourite end of that spectrum, so it's alright by me. 

 

There's a good interview with them here too. 

 

 

[Art Vandelay]

This monster has finally been officially released. The Dillinger remix on the flip is next level too.

 

 

[acidbearboy]

Found this Italian house banger on an old compilation recently and I keep coming back to it. The Ambient Drops mix is pure euphoria. The Atmosphera version ups the energy and adds some raps, including the line "serious as cancer" - in before Snap? Some fancy DJ could make a great megamix with bits of both versions. 

 

Collapse - My Love, 1991.

 

 

 

Here the drummer get wicked!!

 

Give it to me baaaaaaaaaby!!

 

 

[crisy]

whoa @acidbearboy those tunes are something else, thanks for sharing! Pure bliss!
