You sure? There are two releases on Runninz thare are both called Control.
Im still hunting for clips
Id not heard that obscure one you posted earlier!
We may be talking cross purposes - your earlier post with bad strawberry has impressed me enough not to talk to you for 3 years and yet still give you a large cheque!!!!Im still hunting for clips
Id not heard that obscure one you posted earlier!
I have done the same groundwork around the runninz tune as you - I see different names such as Beyond Reality / Ruffneck / Runninz Kru - trust me I've tried the lot.
I know the tune well - just need to now find it online. It will come as have all the others- if I can find bad strawberry then this should be easy - although it is as unknown, it's not as unknown as that one...
We'll get there - big up for your efforts. Google wont help - I've exhausted it!

Posted 4 links for you today - which one was the obscure one?Im still hunting for clips

Its awesome to be able to digress with a like minded and knowledged person - long may it continue!
Added on FB - looking forward to continuing the conversations. I agree about the knowledge amassed, I started in 1994 and it rules my life until around 2000 when it changed.
I used to collate Pirate Radio tapes and record direct from my bedroom, I had a special antennae fitted to my decent seperates system and at one point had around 35 Pirate Radios tuned in. I just collated CD's and cassettes for years then also started with Vinyl for a few years in the middle. I used to DJ and MC too.
Have been thinking about buying a set of 1210's on Ebay and starting up again...

@RRRSS - Too good. Yes, mato was a star.
Dj Destiny - 2 more tune ID's for you and the second one should be challenging.
First, very simple, I know of a remix of Dope Dragons Ready or Not, probably around the same time i.e 96 and it was similar to the original but just a little more amen'y but def dope dragon 'esque'. Do you know what it might be? Whatever it was, it was rarely played and a shame. In fact I only ever heard it once in all the time I was involved in the scene.
The second, well - you remember in the late 80's / early 90's you used to get that small keyring with 4 multi coloured buttons - one of them you pressed and it was a descending bleep that ended in a little digital explosion... In around 95/96 I remember listening to an advert on either Pressure / Don / Dream FM for a new years bash with a tune in the background. It was this descending bleep, with a descending "jump up" bassline - da - da - do do do da... da do do do da.... da do do do da....... (repeat). It was awesome, if I rememer correctly it was a little amen tune but a basic one - classic 95 > 96 transgression tune. I would put money on it being a 95. Any ideas?
Loving the knew fount of knowledge!

First one is easy!
There was a remix of Ready or not, and it was advertised as being released soon at the time (I remember it well, I a huge fan of Dope Dragon and had every release) I only ever heard it on a few tapes, mostly the Full Cycle lot playing it.
Then it disapeared and never got released
The other one is doing my head in!
The descending bassline, the only ones that instantly spring to mind are Warhead (obviously not that) and the original Ray Keith - Chopper, but that is probably wrong too lol
I know exactly what you mean by the digital explosion sound, but cant think of any tunes with it in at the mo.... I won't give up yet though mate!

Ok. Apologies for the vid, but lol - this is the keyring, the sound is at 2:38 and is called the nuclear bomb.
This is the sound, almost exactly, to the tune. Your thinking too late - this is an early tune 95 and possibly 94. Like your thoughts re chopper but its too early.

The bassline is a basic bass note but chopped / shortened and just serves as a classic rave floorfiller. The nuclear bomb sound happens WITH the drop and with the descending bassline, although it is obviously shorter. It just lays on top of what is a very simple, expected from the era floorfiller.
I never heard it ever played - only on that advert, but because I heard the advert so often it stayed with me and I never knew what the hell it was. It would pre date any chopper in opinion, think more 94 than 96. But probably a 95'er.

This is going to do my head in 
The only tune that springs to mind at the moment with that sample is Goldie - Digital, but thats 1997 too!
Hmmm....
No its more jump up and basic than that. Its not Metalheadz.The only tune that springs to mind at the moment with that sample is Goldie - Digital, but thats 1997 too!
Hmmm....
It can't be anything well known. I keep thinking Telepathy, and in fact it might have been an advert for telepa lepa - the hardscore steppa - etc etc
As an aside, Martyn, let's see how good you are at ID ing a tune that I aleady know. This is an absolute fave of mine, and one of the first breakthroughs I had when I started searching online for my, now, back catalogue. I ID'd this by mistake whilst searching the tube back in 2008.
So the clues are, as they were then - it's a rare 97 tune - starts off with a bleep sound and a low key intro, quite haunting - and as the into rolls which is just a delicate ride cymbal ting - it eventually moves into the sound of dripping water. Just before the drop, the dripping water is the last thing you hear before silence. Then BOOM into a hardstep heavy bass with the occasional amen loop at the end of a bar. The bleeps continue, towards the middle when at one point the bleeps flatline (there's the clue) and the tune continues but re arranges around that point, subtly.
That flatline only happens once and is subtle - I was about to continue but my mind said no, leave it at that. Any ideas? I will post it up at some point but some homework for you first....

Martyn - been lucky enough to find a snippet of a tune that I know well but have never known what it is. I know the tune well, as will you. It is rare but knowing the game, I guarantee this is an instant answer for you.
24:30 into this mix should do it. When it rewinds. I remember loving this as a teenager, on my pushbike. I heard it a few times, at the time, through Pirate radio.
I predict 1) Instant recognition and 2) A willingness to hear the tune through.
What a stomper, I have fond memories - this for me was the early days.
Feel Good? lol - boom!
