I experienced this to the fullest when I saw Ed rush & optical doing a classic mid to late 90’s set ! No u turn - prototype etc through the valve sound system!!!! The loudest sound system I ever heard !!!
In the late 80s in North London I had a friend who was a pirate DJ, he asked me to set up some gigs for him playing out, he was at college and simply didn't have the time to organise and promote himself and besides I was a little older, club owners and the such would take me more seriously. We soon realised he was not alone, at that time the pirate station owners were doing little to promote there DJs etc. That's how 'Big Boss Promotions' started over the next couple of years I worked with many London Pirate DJs and with Hip hop and House musicians across the planet. Hard work and a lot of fun later I left the scene after being threatened by club owners and becoming unpopular with some radio station owners when they realised they were missing out not promoting the DJs themselves. Loads of memories, fly posting and distributing through the night, dropping DJs at various locations for there shows, sessions in my living room on a Saturday morning after a long night (my floor boards never recovered), lol.
This is something that has come from the melting pot of Britain and brought black, white, Asian, men and women together like nothing else. I love how you convey the cultural significance of jungle drum and bass in the previous episode and this one and whilst giving respect to different artists it is essentially about the scene and the music which stays true to its non hierarchical ethos in the earlier days. This is what has made it special. It is a scene that belongs to the scene and has maintained and underground infrastructure and in this way has stood the test of time. These are well made documentaries, with a rawness. With the nicely woven and well selected classic tracks I really get a sense of having been part of something historically inspirational and it also captures the sense of hype and energy you get at a rave. Good work.
I'm so fucking privileged to have grown up as a late teen in the early 90s.... that was the birth of what took uk music to a level no other country could compare to... jungle/2step/dnb etc etc.... it evolved and took on many identities within a 12 year period, that took some people a certain way and others another... either way it was the best days of my life, growing up in London, and the clubs...oh man... paradise club, rocket, Camden palais, ministry, blue note, bagleys, the list goes on and on.... this is without doubt the most influential and most amazing sound to ever come out of the UK 🇬🇧 end of.......
the amen break still gives me goosebumps. what a time to grow up in. jungle raves were ruff but I didn't care I just loved the music an no one was stopping me going out to enjoy this epic music scene. one love all junglist all DnB heads. big up my Bristol crew...✌️✌️✌️✌️
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge fan of DnB/Breakcore but Amen is almost overused I would say.. It also feels like a never ending intro where you keep waiting for the drop if not layered with decent kicks and snares
Stateside here. Ill never forget the first time i discovered jungle. I will forever, everyday, be a junglist. Im 40 years old, and it still makes me feel 17 again. Boh!!!! Big ups to everyone involved.
Thank you for this. I’m American. I grew up listening to the big names - Goldie, Massive Attack, then Skream and Burial. I danced to drum and bass at festivals. I never had any context for it though. I didn’t know how the sounds related to each other or where they had come from. The story behind the music makes the sound even more powerful.
The best documentary I've seen describing the history and evolution of DnB. The pirate radios explanation is sick. Also, sick tunes all way through. Gotta watch the whole series!!
I’m from Texas , grew up on the 90s and early early 2000s , I love my screw and swishahouse but when I first went to a rave In 2000 I fell in love with jungle / drum and bass . So much that we’d tried to go raves with drum and base Djs . I wish I could go to the UK and experience it live . I think it’s so cool about how it came about , being from Texas we had a really rich underground culture and scene . No major labels where let in and every thing was kept under ground . I remember buying Roni size album . And the bad part is I didn’t really know to many people to jam it with besides when we went to raves in Houston . I like watching these documentaries . Something about the Jamaican flow with the fast beats gets me hype . I think it’s fly af when they be flowing hard over the beats .
Always wondered why Jungle/DnB never took off in the US when related sounds like House or Dubstep did. It's such an energetic sound and very versatile, you can have a liquid track and a neurofunk track, they sound completely different except for that unmistakable bassline and drum pattern. I just love it.
I'm a French guy, 42, and am still daily listening to all kinds of breakbeat music. I discovered d'n'b/jungle on the French radio when I was 16-17. I lived far from Paris and had to tie a fork on the radio's antenna using tape to be able to listen to Radio Nova. Don't ask me why but without the fork it was just noise. I guess I heard that trick from someone. Putting the antenna in contact with the ceramic heater was a good trick too. The first track I've ever heard was Sunshine's Productions' "Above the clouds" and it really blew my mind. When I was a kid I remember I thought, after I saw Dragon Ball on TV for the first time, "What is the wonderful country where THAT thing was born?", and I felt just about the same when I heard that weird, fast, funky, mechanical, cheesy yet melancholic song. I was more into US Hip-Hop (Ganstarr, De La Soul, Wu Tang, Cypress Hill were my gods) but I then bought my first jungle CD, Jungle Vibes, mixed by DJ Gilb-R. And there was that incredible tune, Lisping Jam Ring, by T Power. Then came 4 hero, Spring Heel Jack and some other artists of whom I was miraculously able to buy the albums in small cd shops in North of France. I also used to read the French magazine CODA where reviews were actually quiet good and wrote lists of things to buy when I have the money. Later I was a maths student and started to buy records during my short trips in Paris, thanks to the money I earned from my summer job in that dirty gas station. The very first one was the 3LP Platinum Breakz and for the first time, while listening to Lemon D, I wished I were British. We have cheese, you have the genius of music...
Yeah I miss those days too. Walking into a smokey record shop, tons of flyers by the door, spending a big proportion of salary on vinyl. Loved those days. They were a hub for everyone to meet. I remember rushing on a Friday lunchtime to try and get my rave tickets in time for the weekend. Emotional times. RIP London's record shops. Shout to Blackmarket Records, 24 Karat Records, 2gtherness Records, Record Village, Boogie Times, Lucky Spin Records, Jungle Fever Records, Total Music, Music Power, Wax City Records, and all the Jungle/DNB record shops.
Thank you for this love-letter documentary to the music that our hearts beat in the same rhythm to. So wonderful to see all those names, hear those beats and melodies and soulful tunes, and grateful to be reminded that so many of these pioneers are still making music, still touring. RIP to the ones we've lost. There is no music one earth than can do what DNB does, can't imagine life without it.
Thanks for posting. Most UK Drum and Bass artists came through San Francisco in the mid to late 90s. The city at the time had a really vibrant scene. Miss those days. The city is not the same anymore.
This is genuinely mental bro, one of the best dnb documentaries I’ve seen, as I’m not the oldest I didn’t get to see the rise in the late 80’s early 90’s with the jungle revolution and have only really caught dnb as we know it now, I love the modern sounds from sub genres like jump up and neruo, but for me nothing beats that roller or dance floor anthem that gets you dancing. And that’s what the dnb scene is about, the love for movement and connecting with the people around you through the medium of music, big up to all our fallen brothers and sisters, they will be missed.
Thank you for your comment! That's why raves & music are important, it brings people together and creates a sense of unity. The Drum n Bass community does this, having amazing people within it.
I can't really describe what i feel when i'am listening intalex/jupiter. I guess this song contains everything what metters in my life: my parenst, my friends, love etc.. Very deep and emotional. Big up. Greetings from Hungary.
RIP Marcus Intalex can't be leave he left us so early but his legacy lives on!! His early productions are impressive to you must check them out. He was producing many years before he got recognition.
This totally brings me back to the days! We had a pretty good scene here in Chicago. I remember seeing Dextrous & Rude Boy Keith, Danny Breaks, and so many others. Brockout!!
Big up it's always nice to hear that people from elsewhere that know about the old school heads and have so much knowledge of the scene. It's a worldwide thing!! Maximum resect to all my Junglists in the USA!!
@@TakeMeBackPirateRadio - And Big Up to the UK scene for blessing us with this music I still enjoy, DJ, and produce til this day! Junglist til I die...whistle crew!!!
It was experimental and there was a big outlet for it. Scores of pirate radio stations, 1000s of DJs and MCs, tons of record shops, vinyl and LP releases, and so many venues which housed raves midweek and in the weekend. It was massive industry back then that was free of state interfere. It was an organic social movement!!
Almost cried, beautiful documentary! EVery time I see and hear things about oldschool sound I just wish I could have been a teen in the 90s. So many things which were possible back then will never be able to happen again.
Surely Kemistry & Storm are worthy of a mention...two pioneers of heavy, industrial sounds within such a male dominated scene. Also co-founded Metalheadz with Goldie! Super influential duo and big names in pirate radio during the 90s
I was born in 93 and my brother in law showed me artists and djs like R.A.W. (BBOY3000, 6Blocc) ,CRS? , APX-1 MayDay ERS-1 General Malice and numerous more from N2o Records and Big Cat Records. My life has never been the same. LA jungle and drum n bass was and still is very strong. Thank you for this. Its making me get back to my roots.
Damn I miss these days. I loved the whole scene when it was underground, listening to pirate radio, hearing the latest dubplates the going raving at the weekend. Best days of my life...
They were the best times!! We were spoilt for choice so many raves going on midweek and in the weekends. Literally some were a fiver or a tenner. Miss the amount of decent pirate radio stations we had on the FM dial. Keeping the old school vibes alive!!
I've never heard jungle/dnb before MSX Radio on GTA 3, that music simply didn't exist in Poland back then but when I've heard "First Contact" by Omni Trio I knew this music will stay with me until end of my life.
pfff Goldie man!!! i keep returning to that record for some reason for 20 yrs now and still cant get enough... switched all the possible genres in between but dnb has kept a special place in my heart because of guys like him and roni size +whole metalheadz collective which just made 90s shitload more interesting.
Thank You for your comment, I am pleased you are proud of it. 'Miracle' is an important piece to me, holds dear at an important time of my life and the memories it brings. Love your work. Keep it up pushing on with your music!! Nuff respect 👊👊
Such a great vid thank you for sharing , really miss them days, the raves, the radio , the record shops, the tape packs, the flyers and the people , real amazing time for British music
Drum & Bass started out on such a basic level, and just had and still has so many ways of adapting to new styles, but still retaining the core principles, BPM, vibe, etc. Least of which can be said about most of the other genres which either came and went, or never matured much at all. I do still miss the garage days and the underground scene today shows more that could be done with it- but the mileage isn't the same, and D&B can just be listened to in any mood, at any time like it's the thing driving your heart beat. Great documentary
Big up mate!! Respect is due to you and all those who made happen and even risked their lives. If you have any of you're old school tapes we'd be happy to upload, regardless of if they graveyard shifts or prime time slots. It's part of our history that we need to preserve!!!
That pirate era on the fm gave an unbeatable experience didn't it ! Performing on the fm had a really addictive feel about it ! Giving the phone line out and giving the shoutouts etc I was bessoted with those times and look back at them with pure love. What an era !
Big up!! Religiously taped those sets!! Nothing could touch Super Sundays on Kool FM, Stevie Hyper D and Nicky Blackmarket in the afternoon, Brockie & Det in the evening, followed by Bryan Gee. Miss those days!! Epic times
This documentary really does well in covering the what why and how of drum and bass. More impressed by this than the recent dnb arena documentary - although i enjoyed that - it's just it was completely producer based, without giving much info on what other elements created the scene/movement.
Thank you for covering this history. I really enjoyed the electronic music of racing games in the 90's like need for speed hot pursuit and vanishing point. I can now see that those games had music with roots in the underground. Over the last 5 years I have been able to fully enjoy the inspirations for the music I grew up with.
How have I only just come across these! Mate, massive props!! Really well put together and gives a real, passionate look at Jungle (previous episode) and DNB. I was born in 93 but been locked in to the sound ever since 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Pirate radio: Kool FM & Eruption, Kiss100. DJ’s: Bukem & Fabio, Grooverider, Randall. Clubs: Metalheadz, Swerve, Speed. MC’s: MC GQ, Shabba.... too many to mention, blessed to be a part of it all!!!!
1997 is where I entered this story. Moved to London for university, listened to garage and reggae on pirate radio. From there to the hard house scene up north. I swear, hard house was the one scene that never went commercial. And still isn't and still exists. It's getting bigger in fact, with the rebirth of vinyl.
Brilliant doc. Born in 86 I loved Acid House, Jungle, DnB but grew up with House n Garage as my first love being I got into music at 11, the problem with Garage was it was too Attitudey look at me like this Tech house of nower days. Making House I have to say I thoroughly enjoy making Jungle/Liquid DnB much more.
This made my day May 2020! Love this music called dnb! Great video I’m from NYC never heard a sound that made me so happy to dance my ass off any time of the day.
Big up the Junglists in NYC!! Always love how people in the US and Canada loved our music. Likewise we do with the Chicago House, Detroit House and Hip Hop scenes from NYC and elsewhere stateside. Maximum respect.
Absolutely love the format you've done with these mini documentaries, explaining the history even before the scene shows how respectful you are of the UK underground scene. Gotta admit as well I got a little emotional at the end with the shout outs to the legends no longer with us
Thank you so much for making these documentaries ! I discovered DnB and Jungle recently and this is perfect to learn about the history of underground music in the UK
These tracks are ME! I got in, during the mid 90s, Don FM, Then DreamFM. Kool. Wax City Croydon, Big Apple Croydon, Slammin Vinyl! Good Looking Records and Moving Shadow The end of Jungle going through to DnB. Alpine Subs in the car and One Nation tape packs! People say to me now. In my early 40s. What do you like to listen to? It will ALWAYS be Drum n Bass! Great Documentary guys!
Sometimes I wish I experienced the late 80's/early 90's rave scene; from the start with Madchester to Acid House to the rise of Jungle an DnB...Today's rave tunes are good but nothing will ever top the anthems of 30/20 years ago...
Great doc! Thanks! I came up in Toronto in the 90s and DnB/Jungle was HUGE then, including the MC culture ('92-'97- and beyond. Biggup da Junglist Massive 4evah. Would love to see a documentary on how Toronto and London influenced each other's styles. We had UK house and 2-step producers going out to London and the rest of the UK monthly, and UK artists headlining massive events and festivals in Canada. What a great time for musical diversity!
boom! 7:51 mad sound. dis track yo! Captures beautiful music memories & era of DNB 👌 plus renegade terrorist & Nicky blackmarket & all dem original bad-mun ruffnek souljahs. I love it. so blessed to be part of this epic bass music movement and da worldwide dnb families reppin it like we'z do. fucking bless up! thank you for sharing & believing. passion never lies & never dies. dis what it all about. Dem Raw Vibes, so strong bound to form a solid unity. biggups punters, soundbWoys, original nuttaz, ravers, all junglist cru... adda Mercy. ERE ME NOW. 👊🦁🎧 Peace & bass (d-_-b)
@@TakeMeBackPirateRadio gawd bless ya me ol china... I love your channel.... We were very lucky to have had what we had then... Even if we didnt realise it at the time.... A real musical and lifestyle movement that in my opinion has never or will ever be repeated..... Big up
As the previous episodes of this doc mentioned I think we owe so much of our dance music culture to the Windrush generation, its appalling how the gov treated them
I'm so glad I lived it junglist since 94 seen the change into dnb amazing times amazing raves . One in the jungle on a Friday for the new releases then down to the record shop Saturday morning to get the first copy's or the new tape packs. if I could go back in time to see it all again I would .
Sadly was born to late to experience it all from the start (besides beeing german and not english), but 5 years ago i fell in love with dnb and im rly glad that this video is able to teach me the history of my favorite genre! Thx for that BearingUK!!
One of the best feelings ever is being immersed in reeeeally loud DnB, where the bassline rearranges all your atoms
Truth.
Love this comment couldn’t have put it better 😂😎
Captured
I experienced this to the fullest when I saw Ed rush & optical doing a classic mid to late 90’s set ! No u turn - prototype etc through the valve sound system!!!! The loudest sound system I ever heard !!!

That scene from Human Traffic was epic
I burst out laughing at this people looked at me like 🤔

Dem a call us illegal broadcasters
All because we play what the people want"
Big up all the pirate radio!! Without pirate radio the scene wouldn't be where it is now!!
Amazing. As an American, I got introduced to this whole scene through "People Just Do Nothing" which is a brilliant show, and so glad I did.
How have I only just discovered these documentaries. Big respect

Yeah, he gave a non-narrated shout out to Kemistry when giving tribute to those who had passed away, at 14:11
I was born in 93 and my brother in law showed me artists and djs like R.A.W. (BBOY3000, 6Blocc) ,CRS? , APX-1 MayDay ERS-1 General Malice and numerous more from N2o Records and Big Cat Records. My life has never been the same. LA jungle and drum n bass was and still is very strong. Thank you for this. Its making me get back to my roots.
This is a really well put together documentary dude, you've really captured the history well and presented it in a nice way. Top marks
I miss these times so much!!
Shabba d was in my class in secondary school lol..this guy was into the culture from day trust me!!
Damn I miss these days. I loved the whole scene when it was underground, listening to pirate radio, hearing the latest dubplates the going raving at the weekend. Best days of my life...
They were the best times!! We were spoilt for choice so many raves going on midweek and in the weekends. Literally some were a fiver or a tenner. Miss the amount of decent pirate radio stations we had on the FM dial. Keeping the old school vibes alive!!
Man I got goosebumps, thanks for this, learned a lot about The early years of DnB
RIP stormin - I briefly said hello at product earth in Peterborough many years ago, such a nice chill guy
gta 3 and liberty city stories is how i got into jungle/dnb. i love that you put that in the video
Never the less contest to none
msx fm drum to the bass
damn that radio station had some bangers on gta 3 and liberty city stories
@Harry Ballzac true shit
I've never heard jungle/dnb before MSX Radio on GTA 3, that music simply didn't exist in Poland back then but when I've heard "First Contact" by Omni Trio I knew this music will stay with me until end of my life.
pfff Goldie man!!! i keep returning to that record for some reason for 20 yrs now and still cant get enough... switched all the possible genres in between but dnb has kept a special place in my heart because of guys like him and roni size +whole metalheadz collective which just made 90s shitload more interesting.
Excellent documentary! Proud to be part of this culture and proud of being on this video! Props
Thank You for your comment, I am pleased you are proud of it. 'Miracle' is an important piece to me, holds dear at an important time of my life and the memories it brings. Love your work. Keep it up pushing on with your music!! Nuff respect 👊👊
Such a great vid thank you for sharing , really miss them days, the raves, the radio , the record shops, the tape packs, the flyers and the people , real amazing time for British music
They were the best times!! Shout out to pirate radio crew!!
Dam dnb is my life brings tears to my eye's and im only a listener, big up for doing this 👍
Drum & Bass started out on such a basic level, and just had and still has so many ways of adapting to new styles, but still retaining the core principles, BPM, vibe, etc. Least of which can be said about most of the other genres which either came and went, or never matured much at all.
I do still miss the garage days and the underground scene today shows more that could be done with it- but the mileage isn't the same, and D&B can just be listened to in any mood, at any time like it's the thing driving your heart beat. Great documentary
Glad to have been part of the scene four radio stations later. Unforgettable raves , graveyard shift sessions , climbing up to the lift motor rooms.
Big up mate!! Respect is due to you and all those who made happen and even risked their lives. If you have any of you're old school tapes we'd be happy to upload, regardless of if they graveyard shifts or prime time slots. It's part of our history that we need to preserve!!!
That pirate era on the fm gave an unbeatable experience didn't it ! Performing on the fm had a really addictive feel about it ! Giving the phone line out and giving the shoutouts etc I was bessoted with those times and look back at them with pure love. What an era !
Brocky and Det on the 94.5 was a match made in heaven, i'd love it when Det went off on one stoned.
Big up!! Religiously taped those sets!! Nothing could touch Super Sundays on Kool FM, Stevie Hyper D and Nicky Blackmarket in the afternoon, Brockie & Det in the evening, followed by Bryan Gee. Miss those days!! Epic times
This documentary really does well in covering the what why and how of drum and bass. More impressed by this than the recent dnb arena documentary - although i enjoyed that - it's just it was completely producer based, without giving much info on what other elements created the scene/movement.
Both are great tellings of the dnb history I think
Well said mate, I definitely agree.
Thank you for covering this history. I really enjoyed the electronic music of racing games in the 90's like need for speed hot pursuit and vanishing point. I can now see that those games had music with roots in the underground. Over the last 5 years I have been able to fully enjoy the inspirations for the music I grew up with.
How have I only just come across these! Mate, massive props!! Really well put together and gives a real, passionate look at Jungle (previous episode) and DNB. I was born in 93 but been locked in to the sound ever since 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank You! Nuff respect.
Pirate radio: Kool FM & Eruption, Kiss100. DJ’s: Bukem & Fabio, Grooverider, Randall. Clubs: Metalheadz, Swerve, Speed. MC’s: MC GQ, Shabba.... too many to mention, blessed to be a part of it all!!!!
I can't believe this documentary only has 2600 views to date! WTF... It's epic!!! Thanks for the great work man!
It's stolen footage
1997 is where I entered this story.
Moved to London for university, listened to garage and reggae on pirate radio.
From there to the hard house scene up north.
I swear, hard house was the one scene that never went commercial.
And still isn't and still exists.
It's getting bigger in fact, with the rebirth of vinyl.
Incredible documentary, this is a work of art... almost brought a tear to my eye! ;-p
Same here!! Big up!!!
Absolutely fabulous working in London mid 90's onwards driving at night dnb was a amazing companion, special time's special video.
7:45 ya cant have a dnb documentary without this banger!
Whats the name of it?

Brilliant doc.
Born in 86 I loved Acid House, Jungle, DnB but grew up with House n Garage as my first love being I got into music at 11, the problem with Garage was it was too Attitudey look at me like this Tech house of nower days.
Making House I have to say I thoroughly enjoy making Jungle/Liquid DnB much more.
Thanks for this a great documentary from great times....loved it.
Just come across this video.....WOW I’m glad I did,brings back some wicked memories of back in the day❤️
This made my day May 2020! Love this music called dnb! Great video I’m from NYC never heard a sound that made me so happy to dance my ass off any time of the day.
Big up the Junglists in NYC!! Always love how people in the US and Canada loved our music. Likewise we do with the Chicago House, Detroit House and Hip Hop scenes from NYC and elsewhere stateside. Maximum respect.
Such a great series. Takes me back to such happy memories.
The best memories!!! Big up!!
13:45 fav Intalex tune!
JUPITER!!
Just an excellent series of videos. They capture the moments so well, I'm feeling a bit emotional now. Time for some OJ and hug.
Amazing work mate. love the way you built the story, and then dropped the bass at 15 mins. It's amazing how organically DnB has grown :)
Ahhh lived a life with drum and bass and jungle, always and forever.
Absolutely love the format you've done with these mini documentaries, explaining the history even before the scene shows how respectful you are of the UK underground scene.
Gotta admit as well I got a little emotional at the end with the shout outs to the legends no longer with us
I loved the metalheadz sunday night gig in Dingwalls. Good times....
Awesome documentary
Thank you so much for making these documentaries ! I discovered DnB and Jungle recently and this is perfect to learn about the history of underground music in the UK
это бомба, спасибо за видос. respect uk underground brothers
These tracks are ME! I got in, during the mid 90s,
Don FM, Then DreamFM. Kool.
Wax City Croydon, Big Apple Croydon, Slammin Vinyl!
Good Looking Records and Moving Shadow
The end of Jungle going through to DnB. Alpine Subs in the car and One Nation tape packs!
People say to me now. In my early 40s. What do you like to listen to?
It will ALWAYS be Drum n Bass!
Great Documentary guys!
Sometimes I wish I experienced the late 80's/early 90's rave scene; from the start with Madchester to Acid House to the rise of Jungle an DnB...Today's rave tunes are good but nothing will ever top the anthems of 30/20 years ago...
Wow. Only now I come across this video. So many childhood memories!
The best raves and pirate radio stations. There was so much talent and good music being made!!
Really good documentary. Glad Dom was mentioned in there, RIP legend 😢
Huh? Do you mean Dominic Angas (Dom and Roland) or someone else?.. This Dom is alive and even has an album in 2020.
I meant DJ Dominator
@@ABLO_dnb Okay, thanks.
Great doc! Thanks! I came up in Toronto in the 90s and DnB/Jungle was HUGE then, including the MC culture ('92-'97- and beyond. Biggup da Junglist Massive 4evah. Would love to see a documentary on how Toronto and London influenced each other's styles. We had UK house and 2-step producers going out to London and the rest of the UK monthly, and UK artists headlining massive events and festivals in Canada. What a great time for musical diversity!
goosebumps, thank you for this crazy documentary!
Great doc! Thanks for adding me in the clip even if it's short bro. But luv Daddy Outlaw...
Looking forward to the garage episode. It'll be interesting to see a dubstep and a grime episode too.
It's coming G so no worries, watch this space & thank you

Brilliant documentary mate, I remember these days well.. Yes I'm old..... I really miss em too if I'm honest....
Big up Mr Scruff fancy seeing you here!! You know the score!! Nothing beats this era!!
@@TakeMeBackPirateRadio gawd bless ya me ol china... I love your channel.... We were very lucky to have had what we had then... Even if we didnt realise it at the time.... A real musical and lifestyle movement that in my opinion has never or will ever be repeated..... Big up
@@mrscruff238 Maximum respect!! Indeed the best times!!
Its mad to think this little rock on the edge of Europe created so many genres of music
As the previous episodes of this doc mentioned I think we owe so much of our dance music culture to the Windrush generation, its appalling how the gov treated them
RIP hyper D what a MC he was
The greatest to ever bless the mic in that era! Nobody brought the energy and vibes like he did. RIP Stevie Hyper D!
Yeah it was pure class. I only managed to see him once as I started raving early 98. It was a dreamscape in a cow shed 🤣 brilliant times
Hyper D was a legend, Sunday Roast @ the island ilford. Never forget
@@jurassicsparks5220 Trust me!! Bless you man you know the deal!! Never forgotten!!!
iClash so who is your favourite?
MSX FM in GTA3 was what introduced me to dnb as a teen. Absolute kino.
Really nicely done! Good coverage from the origins to modern drum and bass too, respect
Cheers mate, thank you for your comment
Don't let my angel face mislead you, inside my body runs jungle and dnb. Thanks guys, great videos!
Love this documentary 🙏🏻
I'm so glad I lived it junglist since 94 seen the change into dnb amazing times amazing raves . One in the jungle on a Friday for the new releases then down to the record shop Saturday morning to get the first copy's or the new tape packs. if I could go back in time to see it all again I would .
7:00 I am yet to find another video on UA-cam that describes the difference between rollers and steppers
Steppers = student jungle in my head..
Sean Murray jump up rollers well studenty now
phoenix .. jungle tekno all the way for me 🤜🏻🤛🏿🙂
Sadly was born to late to experience it all from the start (besides beeing german and not english), but 5 years ago i fell in love with dnb and im rly glad that this video is able to teach me the history of my favorite genre! Thx for that BearingUK!!
Same
