lol

I knew this would happen.

You just posted the same link I did, a few days ago. Who's not been looking at what was posted. Tut tut.

[Armchair_Expert]

I will post a few more tonight, I'll make em decent.

There's one remixed track I had, and I have spent hours trying to find again to no avail so if anyone does know it, there's a beer your way. From memory it was a mix of hard-core vibes, original nuttah, sharpshooter, apache, and a few others.

The intro started:

This one is dedicated to all the fkers...fkers...fkers...

Great. I feel I'm about to go down this rabbit hole again.

Is it on the track - or was it an MC shouting stuff over it?

It wasn't mc'd over, so not from a live set as far as I know. It may have been a mixed mp3 a random person did that I got off of kazaa at the time.

I am surprised this one was from '96, that sound was pretty much dead by 96.

I am not the biggest fan of Ed Rush, his stuff was part of the problem, he seemed to start off the scene on the wrong direction and then buggered off.

The way i heard the scene back in the day was there was different strands of tracks, you had a) the stuff being cained on radio but probably not anywhere else i.e. the Street Fighter track on Kool FM b) the stuff being cained on your own decks but some of it you never heard being played anywhere else c) the stuff being played on Radio 1 c) the stuff being played in the raves.

I had a little look through the thread, its hard to pick out whether this one has been posted or not but back in 1994 (the release vinyl is labelled 1995 but the DJ's were playing it from around September 1994 onwards), the Midlands based DJ's + Mickey Finn used to play this one, it never used to get a rewind because the intro used to make everyones legs wobble and then the bass-line slammed your chest.

Example was when Mickey Finn dropped it at Pandemomium X in the Que Club (September 1994).



Cheekily he then teased in a track i can't post because i think i will get banned as it has swearing in it

Like both of those, 94 stuff is where it started for me. Pre 94 was too techno,

Also there was the Kiss Jungle hour ( Wednesdays? ) with Randall, Kenny Ken, Hype, Fabio / Rider and Bukem I think....

My journey was slightly different as I was getting 90 minute mix tapes from approx. 1988 (I was 12 years old) from down the local Conservative club where my Dad knew a bartender who had taken up a summer job playing music in Majorca and when the barman went over to Spain he used to bring a few tapes back every few weeks when he took a break and i then traded those for english pirated rave tapes (they were 8 quid each in the uk at the time to buy them from a record shop) and so, the techno sound was fresh and new to me and i still listen to hardcore techno in 2022.

In terms of D&B/Jungle there was the odd tune that Mickey Finn/Swan-E/DJ-SY used to play out in the Midlands in 1993 that you used to hear on the rave rapes and think 'that track sounds a bit different'.

When Mickey Finn played the following track at Dance Planet in January 1993, it was one of those tracks that set the scene off into a different sphere. The bassline and the vocal drop (at approx 2 minutes 13 seconds) were very innovative for the time because they were stripped back and looking back on it, i think this is one of the first D&B tracks. I never heard the track being played again, by anyone, anywhere, I think it was one of those Mickey Finn special white labels and there were many of those, you might need to pitch it up to +6/+7 though for 1994 speed



anyway, am rambling now, i might need to convince the missus to come to Digbeth for the D&B awards as she is making me go see HotSince '82.

That track reminds me of the early stuff that The Prodigy were putting out.
Similar sound on Experience.

Interesting read. You are ahead of me time wise. I found jungle by accident in 94 at 12, after that my teen years until age 20 were to immerse myself. I had links with Flex 103.6, Pressure FM 100.3 and the well known Dream 107.6. Used to hang at Nine Bar Records in Epsom. Mixed, MC'd, did a fair bit.

The 96 - 98 era for me was crucial, most that came out then I captured ( thousands of tunes ) and it was a fantastic development of the sound.

The link you posted - and the break, sounds a bit Omni Trio.

I have an amazing link to the Amen Break, a documentary on where it came from and how it came to be. If interested - can post. It is brilliant.
