For those that can remember, what tune was it that got you into DnB?

Im listening to the one that sealed the deal for me at the moment - Make it Tonight by High Contrast

Prototype Years was definitely the cd that gave me my first real taste of drum and bass, I caned it for years before I started collecting vinyl.

The stand out tune for me on that was: Ed Rush & Fierce - Locust

So dark and epic, awesome tune.

Not one tune in particular... but it would have to be one TAPE...

Nicky Blackmarket at something... old school jungle set. I used to go bananas around the house to it when I was 17  music

Can't remember, but 'Realisation' by Simon Basline Smith really struck a cord with me.

Really hard to say as when breakbeat hardcore began growing into jungle I kind of followed the music. So to pin point it to one particular track is really hard.

The following all played their part around 92-93 in making me love the music.

LTJ Bukem - Music, Atlantis or Demons Theme
The Noise of Art - D.Stomp
Jack 'n' Phil - We Are Unity
DJ SS - The E Face (altho not sure this would be considered jungle / DnB)
Top Buzz - Living in Darkness
Doc Scott - Surgery
4 Hero - Cooking up your Brain
2 Bad Mice - Bombscare
Studio Pressure - Jump Mk2

That whole period was just so ground breaking musically and evolved so quickly.

A simply amazing period for rave/electronic music.

The cheesy breakbeat stuff like Kicks Like a Mule and SL2 turned me on to it but I was too young to really get completely in to it. I was mainly about my Hip Hop and Soul and a bit of house music until the 94/95 Jungle explosion. I'm kinda like Noddy, there wasn't one tune in particular, it was the period as a whole that just clicked with me and as cheesy as it sounds, the music just made perfect sense.

SO ..some of the big tunes for me were:

Babylon - Splash
The Helicopter Tune - Deep Blue
In Complete Darkness - The Fat Controller
Dred Bass - Dead Dread
Timestretch - Roni Size
Special Dedication - DJ Nut Nut
Burial - Leviticus
Style - M-Beat (those old Renk releases were a huuuuuuge influence on me, still are to this day)
Made In Two Minutes - Bug Kann & The Plastic Jam (Ray Keith & Nookie Remix)
Brainkillers - Screwface
The Box Re-Opens - Kemit Crew
Thunder - Rood Project
What Ya Gonna Do - Da Intalex
RIP - Remarc
Smokin a Blunt - Chuck-E

God, I could go on for days.

Not one tune, but a mix. DJ Craze Live in Puerto Rico. Guess this shows my DnB age a bit (young cunt!) but oh well. Having said that, when Napster was the in thing I downloaded this sick tune that I really, really loved. It was a heavy DnB remix of Sabotage- Beastie Boys. I'm not sure, but I think it may have been an Ed Rush remix. If anyone has any idea what I'm talking about, can you let me know? I'm very keen to track this tune down again, as it was on heavy rotation until my Dad deleted all my mp3's!!!

I reckon the stuff that got me into DnB was the jungly tracks of Prodigy's Experience...such as Out Of Space, Fire, etc. I was heavily into that around 96/97. First proper DnB tune I heard and loved though would've been LTJ Bukem - Demon's Theme off the soundtrack to the movie The Jackal. Another one off that album that got me was Goldie - Sunray 2...mad mad bass!

The pivotal moment for me however, in terms of going out and seeking the sounds live and local was when I saw Roni & Reprazent at the Big Day Out - oh my gosh, still no live show has topped this for me... slayer

grooverider's - mysteries of funk was the first dnb album i ever listened too.

ed rush and optical - the creeps, was the other album that drew me right in. flightpath, fastlane and white lightning mainly.

This is too hard... back before the internets existed it was quite hard to identify individual tracks when you heard them in a set!

The first tracks that made me want it were Bukem's in the early 90's, but if I had to choose one track that made me love it it would probably be In Complete Darkness even though I liked jungle before that too!

this is the only sabotage remix i could find

http://www.rolldabeats.com/release/jungle_sky/js132

Beastie Boys    -    Sabotage (1.8.7. Remix)

Well, cheers for trying! Seeing as I can't download it or listen, I can't be sure it's the right one. Spewing, because I've been dying to hear this track again for a number of years. All I know is that it's a fucking great remix that made me sit up and think "Goddam, what the fuck is this?"

i reckon it was Prodigy - The Experience, along with all the old Chemical Brothers breakbeaty type stuff.


I listened to that shit too, before i got into hip hop. Still listen to it!
If you look at the music genres and their 'generic' BPM's, then you can see why quite a few people are attracted to these three genres.
Hip Hop (about 90 BPM), Breakbeat (approx 130 BPM) and Drum and Bass (usually around 180 BPM). It's a natural and even progression and a reason why these three genres are often intertwined in their followings. I find Hip Hop and Drum and Bass to be as close as you can get for two different categories of music. All you have to do is nod your head twice as fast for DnB!!!

It's strange though when you think about it, other than using breaks it doesn't really have all that much in common with Hip Hop, or anything tangible anyway. It's just the vibe of it is so similar I think, it has that rawness. It's kind of like Grime is these days, it's the closest thing dance music has to something "Urban".

I find in terms of bars and shit, the placement of kicks and snares in hip hop and DnB are usually pretty similar. Could well say the same for any type of music though, i guess. But yeah, you are right. DnB does sound like no other music around. It's got this intensity and bravado that is impossible to stay still to. The olds don't much like it though.

RIP by remark -

for the record the one that did all the damage was the dj hype remix, with the big sub bass line like never before!

for me i just fell into jungle really, from goin to discovery and choice, plus seeing top buzz in 94. cant really name any particular tune that changed me into a junglist it was all about the vibe!

the first 2 jungle records i bought were

dj solo and dj rossie - inner strength / sureshot on fx recordings

EDIT: Shit sorry for the ramble thought it was what got you into dnb not what tune...

God take me back about fricken 12 or so years and let me think  teef lmao  laugh

Back in year 7 when at home after school I would listen to Coast FM - they would play all styles from happy Hardcore to Jungle and Trance and god who knows what else. I still have old tapes from back then with the old jungle on - I remember going to underage events like Euphoria I think they were called back when Church was called synagogue and when Planet was around too... Think I even went to one at Heaven. In year 8 I got 2 Ultra Sonic cds and also 2 Prodigy cds - I loved Charlie the trip into drum and bass remix... and just most of there break beats and anything with bass -  Around this time was when i started Ice Skating... They would play all types of dance music there and we would bring our own cds in too for them to play - I remember mr Frost playing there back in the day at some stage icon_wink I know MPK and Noddy were playing at Chem at this stage cause all my 18-19 year old friends who would skate would go out after and leave me at the rink and I would be so upset, going naw why cant I be 18 lol I got a copy of a nautily taped UW 8 set from a guy who was good friend of mine who had a copy of this - I used to listen to this tape daily - it was MPK, Noddy, MC Jakal and Pab - I still to this day have those rhymes going through my head when I hear the tunes from the tape.

*sings* Oh yes, yes we say, uh, loose in the mix, in the mix with dj, flavour, as I roll another rainbow track, I take one step forward, take 2 steps back - sorry got distracted lol man I love those tunes...


I was pretty much a married girl from age 15-21 - but once freedom came I was back... gotta love Traffic...

Andy C, Pendulum and Wildchild at Queens theatre was the breaker for me to start mixing...

this tape is going to be online very soon, someone found the original DAT and has sent the recording to RA to be uploaded.

Now that is a night that I won't forget too soon... I'd been hearing D&B for a while but that was the first time I'd seen a set out.
I remember going for a look around and standing at the back of the room just watching everyone going fuckin nuts!!!
I couldn't get over how into the music everyone was, and the amount of energy in the room.

So it wasn't really any particular tune that hooked me into the sound, it was the vibe and energy @ the parties that I loved the most.

The first D&B tune that made me take notice would have been '100 Tons of Bass' by J&J on the first D&B compilation I bought ' Jungle Tekno 8'

2nd would have been on a Blue 10' Vinyl-  ' Have you Know' by Trace...  music

it wasnt naughtily taped, it was released as a mix tape with a cover and everything, i think i picked mine up from raving mad or centrals back in the day.

this tape is going to be online very soon, someone found the original DAT and has sent the recording to RA to be uploaded.

Yes I have heard and I will download it as my tape at home is missing some bits  lovethumbs

But the person I got it from I heard naughtily taped it and I didn't get a cover or anything of the sort nor did he have a cover or anything of the sort...

It's kind of like Grime is these days, it's the closest thing dance music has to something "Urban".

Thats exactly right! urban is the word, thats prob why a lot of people who like other styles of dance don't get into dnb. It can be as techy and trippy as you like but dnb will always have an "urban" undertone somewhere. Bad bwoy music full stop! heh! Breaks on the other hand I think is nothing even slightly like dnb, thats why house dj's play it in their sets, nothing urban or bad bwoy about breaks in the slightest, nothing in the 130 bpm continuum ever could be.

Onto the point tho:

1st dnb selection to ever get me into the sound was a '95 Darren Jay compilation of jazzy and atmos stuff titled 'total science' (nothing to do with the production duo funnily enuff). Had some nice stuff from the golden era of intelligent dnb, inc Nookie, Adam F, Big-bud and so on. I was into acid techno/trance at the time and used to listen to this in the car driving back from a free party somewhere.

Still got it, still listen to it, still play out some of the tunes on it, all class!

Once upon a time I was sitting at home sketchy with my girlfriend one Sunday morning. I remember this guy I had only met a couple of times through friends ringing me up at 5am, and asking if he could come over because he was bored (and still OT I think laugh). So I said yes and he came around, we were listening to some old hardleaders cd's at the time, and he went "oh man, I've got this mix cd in the car you should hear!".

It was pretty boring to start off with, and I'd never heard of this DJ, dieselsomething? Just some wishy washy pads and atmospheric strings, WTF is he making me listen to? And then it dropped. Messiah.

Messiah wasn't exactly the tune that got me into DnB, but it was a huge moment, the start of an obsession with DnB, one that would eventually cost me lots of money but find me many new friends, including roost, who happens to be the guy that came around that Sunday morning.

Was supposed to be a short one. But ended up preaching the gospel!!!!!

Was always into hip hop so it was natural for me to like it when I herd aphrodites "Urban jngle" cd. Which was all jungle remixes of old hip hop tunes like, Dope man(nwa), I got 5 on it (Lunees), Fuck my minds gone blank. But yeah I think you get the picture!
Then a few years after hearing that cd I went out to 2003 enchanted forest and matrix did it for me. I was hooked. Me and the trizzy fidder killed it for years. Every thing that was on, We were there.

These days Im fed up with "drum and Bass". Its gotten so predictable and cheesy!
I found hip hop Again but not your usual xibit and dre bollocks. Real insightfull stuff. Stuff with meaning, dope lyrics and the beats were somthing else.  Real abstract dope atmospherics and left feild type beats. Some thing that was not PREDICTABLE!!!

I still loveed the vibe I used to get off drums. So I looked into it a bit more and started to find a new style of drum and bass named drum funk. It resembles alot like 94-96 jungle. The golden era!! Hip hop and drums have alot in commen.

 Its good to incorperate both of them together. Makes sets more interesting, I think!

        if your on the same page here and are getting bored of the dnb scene or just interested in all spectrums of dnb and is looking for something differnt   then keep your eye out for the Northern wax Cavalry shows.

 thought Id put a plug in there.Ha

It was albums more than songs for me... a friend played me London Elektricity's 'Songs in the key of Knife' album and it blew me away... from there it was Bukem's progression sessions, Adam F (colours album) Roni Size Reprazent.. i don't get too involved with the heavy grinders, am more into the liquid stuff. Before dnb i was into old school funk in a big way, crossing over into the 80's and the 'real' electro... drum n bass and dub are the two musical genres that really seized me in the end though.

Too many tunes for me to name. I old so I got into it the same way (and in the same crew and at the same houses) as Noddy. One thing Noddy missed which I think was very important in planting the seeds of dnb in both of us was the System AD, an English DJ that lived here for a year in 1992. He was music to my ears. My girlfriend at the time lived in the same house as him, the "hell house". There were seven people in a two bedroom flat. I used to have to make deals with him and the other guy that lived there as they were the only ones with a lockable bedroom and a double bed. Anyway, one tune that was from around 1993 that people haven't mentioned is "I'm Leaving" by Johnny L. Love that shit.

one of ^'s early mixtapes from about 92 - 93. Had a dark & light side from memory? some old formation, foul play, moving shadow, - one of my mates older brothers gave us the tape - u might remember him daniel, Mike Genrich? i think was his name. Had no idea what the music was & wasn't even sure if i liked it or not, but it was so curious and different that i kept on listening & surely grew to love it.

I'm pretty sure it was Cubic by Calyx, lots of Calyx's moving shadow stuff, then I heard a few tracks on the album Shot Down on Safari by Bad Company UK and then some DJ Dara & Dom & Roland tunes that just told me, this is the stuff for me.

I was actually trying to find a copy of 4 Days by Bad Company Uk for years, starting from when I was 9,I bought Shot Down on Safari but unfortunately it was the wrong version and it didn't have 4 Days on it, then I found out about Inbound and asked simmo if he could get me it on vinyl when I was 11.. , that tune ment so much to me.. I have it now though biggrin

Heh, I guess 20 years from now I'll be able to go, "4 Days by Bad Company Uk, now that was the tune!"  laugh

mate, it was a tune that managed to make a guy pass out at 'the end' club in london when it dropped.
i remember some interview when one of the BC guys was talking about it dropping for the first time and how they saw this guy standing by the booth and his eyes just rolled back and down he went!

Dillinja - Grimey is the first tune that I got grimey to and could recognise.
Also possibly Amon Tobin - Reanimator at around the same time

Oh god, dunno, I got into DnB at the dawn of its creation. Any number of tracks. It was just natural progression from oldskool hardcore. My faves from back then include Bukem - Horizons, PFM - Wash Over Me, Kenny Ken - Everyman, Omni Trio - Renegade Snares etc
