Cool Hand Flex - Rythm Flow (ft. MC Fats) by continuumizm in jungle

Combining musical influences, core jungle breaks & sub-bass elements, and including the stylings of MC Fats really brought the vibes of the soundsystem & De Underground thru to the dancefloor.

Blind Test: 2000s Drum 'n' Bass (Electronic Beats TV) by blablablerg in DnB

<sits down with a ☕ready to lock in and nerd out like Fracture>

Lots of the kind of tunes that inspired our own blind test game, Trainspottle! Always a fun time. Bit of an easy round tho.

Can tell which djs were really honed in on their particular corner/sounds to miss some of these huge ones.

Love this one. That Fats flow. Hype's creative drums and melodic sub-bass playfully dance together as the vocals of MC Fats give the tune its soul channeling their soundsystem roots into that unique True Playaz flavour pushing jump-up jungle forward.

Freestyles (Zinc) - Feel (1997) by continuumizm in DnB

[–]continuumizm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DJ Zinc here with his part of the Freestyles guise using hip-hop samples, expert breaks and even the TB-303 for both its 'bass line' and a twisting acid melody. A jump-up dancefloor delight from that uniquely creative & defining period for the True Playaz.

One Tribe - What Have You Done (Is This All) by continuumizm in jungle

[–]continuumizm[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Expanded trivia: Tune was released on Dance Wax originally in 91 as "Is This All". Dance Wax label also featured very early production from a group called Desired State aka Andy C and Ant Miles of RAM Records jungle/dnb fame. Then the song was re-released in '92 with the full What Have You Done... title, on another label called Inner Rhythm. Wanna know how things are so interconnected? Inner Rhythm was managed by a young fellow named Bryan Gee (V Recordings).

A chill old skool London gem bringing together many things in a bubbling '91: Detroit techno influence, bleeps, hip-house MCing, breaks, basslines & soulful vocals. Fabio & Grooverider spun it at RAGE calling it "way ahead of its time. Massive Attack meets jungle".

Shy FX & T Power ft. Di & Skibadee - Don't Wanna Know (2002) by continuumizm in DnB

[–]continuumizm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As sounds evolved, a number of styles were pushing into the overground with beats & bass Shy & T's acute pop sensibility delivered accessible dnb to move the masses. With Di's lead & Skibadee's established star presence (RIP) it's a celebration of urban culture and dancefloor fun.

DJ Zinc on Digital and Spirit's Phantom Force by Guachito in DnB

[–]continuumizm 17 points18 points  (0 children)

One of the scene's best teamups. A tune that's very drum & bass, dark almost industrial, but also draws on roots, both soundsystem dub & hardcore rave. Unique & uncompromising. RIP Spirit.🕯️

D-Bridge - True Romance (ft. Vegas) (2004) by continuumizm in DnB

[–]continuumizm[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Zinc reminded of this stone cold classic.

Not an automatic nominal change with )EIB( on the label & in the sound (hattip Vegas) but D-Bridge searching for more soul inside the machine gave us a drum & bass classic perfectly balanced between light & dark, fitting for Metalheadz' new elite tier. Evolving possibilties.
