To everyone that knows the eagerly awaited Brockie & Det sets at raves. Myyyyy God!!! The best times ever and to see them still going as a solid unit is something admirable and inspirational!!!!
@@TakeMeBackPirateRadio your channel transports me to a time i never knew existed. I mc myself and have always been drawn to the individual stories of how and when these artists started their journey. I turn 30 this year i started on cyndicut when i was 17 i was invited to host an oldskool show on sunday mornings, over the years the stations have changed but the love for the craft has only grown
@@jessewrites17792 Big up yourself to the max. We definitely hope these recordings inspire the new generation as we didn't primarily set up to cater just for the old timers but to also pass on the legacy to the next gen. It's all about continuation even though we are an old school platform we champion what's new and see the connection between experiences in shaping the future as GOOD MUSIC NEVER HAS AN EXPIRY DATE.
I have been listening to Mc DET since 1993, and in all this time I have never heard him speak, so this interview was very refreshing. I heard with my own ears, the transition of sound between 94-95, from Jungle to DnB. DET you are a living Legend of the MIC, cannot wait to hear you grace the dance floors again.
@London Something. Whilst I appreciate you want to keep things positive, Mc Det has probably seen more than most, therefore his perspective should be respected as an authentic view of our scene. Please try to allow them share their perspectives without labelling them as being wrong. Thanks
This was a brilliant interview with Det. He was one of my favourite MCs alongside Navigator and Shabba. Det always had a very original recognisable, distinct voice and flow on the mic which in turn made the popular tracks of that time feel even better to the ears! And Big Up Brockie who has always been my goto DJ. Just brings back memories of Telepathy at Wax Club Stratford!!!
Brockie and Det still the ultimate jungle duo, smash it time after time. Legends in the game. Dets voice still reigns supreme in the jungle scene, him and Hyper best to do it 🔥Hyper was the Field Marshall, Det the General 👯 get a biography out man, that was sick listening.
Ron, loving these interviews, what a great idea hearing about the backgrounds of the original players. I was there from the early days and followed the scene around, went to all the fevers, started to go to all the record shops, like black market, lucky spin, horice on the Camden market etc picking up tunes. And then got into producing, putting together a few akia samples, with a cracked copy of cubase on an atari 1040st and started cutting dubs at music house and the exchange. The MC problem is my eyes was that some Mc's loved the sound of their own voice and wouldn't give the DJ space to mix and blend, However NOT all mc's some mc;s such as Det, Conrad knew when to stop and let the DJ do their thing. Coming from a mixed race background - my mum was white and my step dad black, so grew up listening to reggae and loved the ragga vocals in the tunes, BUT sadly as time went on, there were so many up and coming producers just thinking they can slap a reggae sample half speed over an amen and pressing low quality tunes looking to make a quick buck. It just got silly.... then when the vocals stopped the tunes got very dark and moody and the scene changed in my eyes, as Det said no girls were going to the jams and they started to get a bad name. Anyway now 50 im still loving the tunes (prefer the old skool stuff) but great to hear these podcasts from the pioneers of something that the UK should be proud off. Well done for putting this together! It's always been a London Ting :) Please can we have; Brockie, Photek, Andy C, Dillinja, Bukem, Ray Keith, Doc Scott, Krust, Adam F, Nicky BM - also we need to hear your background and movement within the scene. :)
Hey thanks for the comment and for the part you played in su[ppoting this scene. Thanks also for your guest suggestions, many who I've already been in talks with.
Them old Kool Fm tapes with Brockie and Det blew my head off back in the day. Changed my life when I first heard it just like Hip Hop did. Respect the Det! ✊🏽🫡
Respect to dj Ron for these wicked podcasts. MC Det was defiantly one of the best mc’s on the jungle scene and pirate radio back in the day. Look forward to the next podcast.
Forever true to his brand. And it has to be said, his message was always pure positive energy, even as the scenes other MCs went down a road of pure aggression, their lyrics portraying violent roadman mentality etc.. Met him in the Summer of 98. If you think your boy is hench now, you should have seen him in day. Absolute wardrobe but the most chill man you'll ever come across. Growing up in SW London, Brockie and Det on Kool was the first Pirate tape I'd ever heard outside of Don FM. I must've been 14, so 1995. Second was Flirt, Shockin, Shabba, Skibz.. Legendary tape that I cannot find a copy of for love or money. Getting old enough to go to events was like going to see Gods to me. Jungle was nuts back then I swear.
What a fucking great & interesting interview!!! I’ve been a junglist from day dot. The day I met Ron @ a little event we were promoting in Medway back in the day was a special day for me. He has and will always be one of the greats…by far! Even the day I noticed him in an advert for MTV, was a day I realised what the emotion “pride” was…even at a young age. I use to record his sets from Kool, and make proper tape covers on an Amiga. Great part of my youth!
Ron MC DET asking if he was good made me laugh …. DET MC was different his style and delivery on those beats with brockie was insane and he had some oneliners that was funny aswell but Sunday nights on kool the Brockie and Det experience was 💥💥💥💥💥🎤🎤. Glad to see him doing well .
Loved this! I've been listening and raving to drum & bass since the early 90s, and always looked for Det on the flyers, so it's great hearing all these stories and the history 🤜🏻
Absolute legend, like many of you guys who watched this I too lived the hardcore to jungle to dnb eras. 1992 was where my love began for all things rave, and having kool 94.5 rush 92.3 format 93.2 pulse 90.6 will forever live in memory, and still play those tunes in the car every week to this day. Listening to Det and his stories especially the meet up about general levy and removing such vocals to avoid losing grip of the scene.. So fascinating. Massive shout to Ron for this, how have you held onto these for years! Subbed and look forward to more
Nicely done.. this felt like 2 long time friends having a reasonings instead of a interview.. love that, big up yourself MC DET. For sharing your life stories and experiences.. I've got my headphones on couple rolled enjoying the vybz and big up yourself DJ RON for the upload, the podcast is doing bits bro 💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👊🏿
yo det. you have send shivers sound spines for years ... i have that andy c cassette tape from late 90s with you on it and you are absolutely killlling it. i introduced so many ppl to drum and bass with those recordings and ppl LOVE the "HOIIIIIIIII" especially. just a match made in heaven.
My favorite one so far, big respect to Det for his honesty in sharing his experiences and perspective. I think you made the right choice doing a stand-alone with him and a job well done! So much passion for the music still! “Sometimes it makes you feel low, money in your pocket but there’s nowhere to go! Rollin rollin!” Thanks again Ron 🙏
Wow yeah wow yeah big up MC Det on Ron's podcast today. Let me be the man to say Det you were more than good, innovator and pioneer for the scene the most recognisable voice. The Det an skibba years were pure fire, rest in peace skibba
Who's going to interview Ron? I want to hear about getting arrested in Miami and Tijuana! Sick podcasts. So good to hear these stories and love how you don't agree on points. Hooked.
Someone needs to interview you, Ron!!! Furthermore, you should produce a documentary! I've still not seen an in depth or factual documentary about the history of the scene, from 86 - Jungle/D&B. Featuring those behind the first underground promotions, such as Clink St, Confusion, Ratpack, Jericho, Freedom, Fantastic Ibiza etc. Pioneering DJ's we don't hear from like Frankie Valentine, the Runtings Crew, Richie Fingers and of coarse the producers who created and shaped the sounds from Hardcore to Jungle like Shut Up and Dance, Dego & Marc Mac (Tom & Jerry), Potential Badbwoy etc etc
@@WEBB-TECH Yeah, Ron's journey and transition from Soul Sound DJ to Junglist is an important part of the history. As is Mike West's transition from DJ/Promoter for his Beatfreak Soul Sound to Fantastic Ibiza DJ to Rebel MC to Conga Natty. So many names I could mention but the key aspect that is usually brushed over, partly inaccurate or biased, is the history of the music production.... When and who was first responsible for the use of breaks etc etc
I’m blown away det didn’t know if people thought he was good ! In 2002 det was like a god to me 🙌 and to hear he left the scene was a madness ! This was one hell of a chat …. Iv only just found the pod and I’m working my way through it 😍 thank you 🙏
Ron you seem to have pulled something very special here. I’ve watched 2/3 of this one and 1/3 of voltage and I can’t wait to see the whole lot. Every junglist should be watching these pods, I especially can’t wait to listen to Micky Finns story. Ron how you get the saspirella kid moniker ?
Just came across these podcasts and loving them , so interesting hearing things about the scene and the backgrounds of DJs mcs. I’ve been into this music since 92 and followed it through all the different genres it has split into . I love it all . Was listening to top buzz fantazia just today . Mc det is a legend and one of the greats . He’s also a beast 💪 lol . Keep these podcasts coming Ron 👊
I absolutly love the podcast ive always been a big fan of MC Det loved is voice and is voice was an insperation for me when i MC in french and did it for many years as a pros in east asia and i am very lucky been able to live the 90s rave scene in the uk long live Rinse fm
I am interested to here about the period of time when Det & Skiba recorded "Down Diggy" and "Slowmo". There's so much to cover I can listen to these guys talk for hours.
I absolutely love videos like this, so many great stories from/about so many influencers in the scene, each one will recollect something a bit differently (and in Rons case with the meeting, not at all 😁 ) but in most I've seen the story/timeline of jungle to DnB seem to be on point, although I never realised about the raves changing to mostly men (I was 14 at the time) I'm guessing that was around 96 with early jump up (dope dragon era) through the intelligent/techy era until early 2001/2 when DnB was making a bit of a renaissance and garage was dying. That part of Dets timeline seemed a bit out as jungle was gettinh locked down around 95 as said because of the moody ragga element bringing trouble to raves, garage in those days was mainly soulful bubbling stuff with the darker elements in speed garage and I don't recollect there being much trouble around that scene, If I remember correctly things changed for garage around 2000 with MC culture switching from hosting the night to lyrics promoting badness and the music following suit. And also as another parallel with jungle the old guards of the scene held a meeting about what to do about the likes of so solid, heartless, PAYG etc. Then that died and it moved to grime, rinse and repeat. In a way it was a good thing that what happened happened and the movement had another direction to head in to keep the music relevant to allow it to come full circle again.
Oh my days, brilliant interview. History lesson, politics, class, finance, race and jokes after jokes. Was crying with laughter when MC Det was talking about Timberland meeting. I don't know how Ron never knew about this meeting. Wish there were names for those trying to kill the art and creativity and trying to reduce a certain section of People from coming. The same happened to Garage. This interview could have went on longer. Love to know more about the public school boys promoters. Great work Ron. I'm getting through all these interviews and nervous that I will finish them before you release a new one.
Just came across this channel Loved it Been listening to this man from tape cassette!!! Was nice to peel back the layers and get to know him a little what a lovely humble guy Really enjoyed this ❤
Great to hear Det's back story after over a quarter century but I don't know if the audio on this video has been normalised cos I've had to turn up my TV volume to 76 to hear what's being said, which is very unusual for anything with Det on! 😁
@@LondonSomething1994 That's great to hear that more episodes are going to be released. I've also now watched the Goldie and DJ Rap interviews which were also both very good (and quite emotional at times). Will look out for the new ones and will spread the word.
So much love and respect for MC DET I've have the pleasure with working with him when I got my Break from Garage to KoolLondon and did my thing DET would support whenever he can. GREAT talent and spirit.. S/O Ron the original icons.
I still can't believe Skiba has gone. I saw Det at Ministry last year and passed on condolences. Those two for me back in the day were untouchable together. The best Tape I ever had was an Innovation one. Brockie, Skiba & Det. The amount of times I played that Tape was almost unhealthy lol it was cracked and I had to do the pencil trick to wind it back up after nearly every play towards the end. Gutted I'll probably never hear it again. R.I.P Skibz, rest easy man. 😢
It seems MC Dets career and the MC game in general has been lot more precarious from than would seem from an outsider looking in point of view, and I guess that is what he has always had to fight for. As a young teenager and with Kool FM being at its peak, the MC’s have always been at the front and center of that. To me the MC’s were just as important as the DJ and it was Jungle that did that. For a young ghetto yout I always regarded these guys as massively successful but I guess that was from my small London rave scene context. I guess there are broader contexts to be considered like Artistic success, Commercial success, Global success or something that bolsters you firmly into a long term career and constant work. Again in music, that can be a fight for anyone and I think MC has been a massive winner to achieve that. What also can’t be denied is Det and all other Jungle MC’s part in helping along the British rap scene into the huge place in our culture it has today and the should forever get all the credit and recognition they deserve that. On this Jungle Committee meeting, correct me if I’m wrong but I always thought the story went that Goldie stepped away from the Ragga Jungle sound first and was one of the main players with MetalHeadz to develop it into D&B and TechStep. Then after Jungles peak in 94-95 and UK Garage stealing the spotlight, all Jungle seemed to follow that into sounding like the Drum & Bass format. Of course eventually D&B would even look to Grime and Dubstep for influences in which the MC become even more important again. So another win for MC culture. Again it’s Jungle MC’s & guys like MC Det that we owe that debt. Loving the Show DJ Ron, keep up the amazing work. 🤘🏼💜🔥😜👍🏼
Det is completely correct.The new found minimalism in the productions allowed the MC’s to breath over the music without vocals cluttering their rhymes.
Fantastic stories there, great interview, big up Det for all his achievements in and out of the scene.....you know whenever Brockie dropped Dj Krusts Angles with Det on the mic it was going off !
Loving these videos, thank you Ron. I was maybe 10yrs old when I tuned into Kool FM randomly and got taken away by the music. The stories of these icons from my younger years are brilliant. Will you be doing a video telling us about your story? I would love it if you could. Much love :-)
Should do a part 2 excellent show mr Ron big up Mc Det absolute legend true talent loads of interesting experiences love the Timberland stories and insight on how dnb mc's struggled to do there thing it was tough, dnb/ jungle has come a long way wicked show.
Big up Mc Det! The original don. One of those mcs where people who forgot and dnt listen Jungle anymore can hear his voice and be like OMG he was my favourite mc! Big up for mentioning Stevie aswel, didn’t like it when i herd what that dj done in a recent interview. Stay Solid. One
Absolutely loving this DJ Ron. Loving his content in the question and loving what the guests have to say. By far this is the most interesting drum and bass talk show I've seen. I just haven't taken to the others. Mind you I'm more interested in the older DJs than the new so that might have something to do with it. Really interesting what DET has to say I love his honesty!
Great discussion chaps. Love the lively debate between these OSVs that came from such similar backgrounds in the scene but with their own unique takes on its development.
The infamous "meeting" 😆Ron was not amused. 25:50 - 29:00 its interesting hearing about the politics going on at the time that influenced the sounds and scene. As a listener, it just felt like a natural progression until about 2000, when it felt completely different. Ron you seem like a chill guy! Thank you for the output.
Thanks to all of you who have tuned in live to watch this. I really appreciate the support 🥰
Really good Podcast as per usual Ron. Big up yourself and Det!

Then that died and it moved to grime, rinse and repeat.
In a way it was a good thing that what happened happened and the movement had another direction to head in to keep the music relevant to allow it to come full circle again.
Haha I love hearing the stories too and am really pleased you guys do too.
@@LondonSomething1994 Yea really good keep em coming.
Another good one is R.O.A.R podcast and it's a shame as I heard their Kenny Ken one already.
this was amazing, never heard a solo det interview, so much history and info, glad to be the 100th like
Oh my days, brilliant interview. History lesson, politics, class, finance, race and jokes after jokes. Was crying with laughter when MC Det was talking about Timberland meeting. I don't know how Ron never knew about this meeting. Wish there were names for those trying to kill the art and creativity and trying to reduce a certain section of People from coming. The same happened to Garage. This interview could have went on longer. Love to know more about the public school boys promoters. Great work Ron. I'm getting through all these interviews and nervous that I will finish them before you release a new one.
2 absolute legends.
Hope Ron nah lose no sleep over dis meeting ting lol.. salute sirs. Rasspeck
Loving the podcasts Ron, just come across them by chance, keep them coming mate💯👍👍
Mc Det you deserve the ultimate respec
Very insightful, loved it.
Thanks dj ron. Love this one with det. Love the content. Big love dj ron
Just came across this channel
Loved it
Been listening to this man from tape cassette!!!
Was nice to peel back the layers and get to know him a little what a lovely humble guy
Really enjoyed this ❤
Dj Ron a legend in the game ...
This has been a brilliant listen - Salute Mc Det 👊🏾
How good was it to hear M.C Dets story. Great interview. Love these London something interviews/stories. Well done dj Ron🙌🙌
Thanks man. Am pleased you’re liking them. Thanks for the support.
I remember Ron when he first played at Sunday Roast Turnmills as I worked as Security. My mate Paul was the promoter.
Great to hear Det's back story after over a quarter century but I don't know if the audio on this video has been normalised cos I've had to turn up my TV volume to 76 to hear what's being said, which is very unusual for anything with Det on! 😁
Great interview, really enjoyed that. Well done DJ Ron, that flowed really well and covered some really interesting topics.
Thank you and really pleased you enjoyed it. Am looking forward to sharing the new interviews to be dropped soon.
@@LondonSomething1994 That's great to hear that more episodes are going to be released. I've also now watched the Goldie and DJ Rap interviews which were also both very good (and quite emotional at times). Will look out for the new ones and will spread the word.
So much love and respect for MC DET I've have the pleasure with working with him when I got my Break from Garage to KoolLondon and did my thing DET would support whenever he can. GREAT talent and spirit..
S/O Ron the original icons.
The done that is smk your bars are pure fire
I still can't believe Skiba has gone. I saw Det at Ministry last year and passed on condolences. Those two for me back in the day were untouchable together. The best Tape I ever had was an Innovation one. Brockie, Skiba & Det. The amount of times I played that Tape was almost unhealthy lol it was cracked and I had to do the pencil trick to wind it back up after nearly every play towards the end. Gutted I'll probably never hear it again. R.I.P Skibz, rest easy man. 😢
It seems MC Dets career and the MC game in general has been lot more precarious from than would seem from an outsider looking in point of view, and I guess that is what he has always had to fight for.
As a young teenager and with Kool FM being at its peak, the MC’s have always been at the front and center of that. To me the MC’s were just as important as the DJ and it was Jungle that did that. For a young ghetto yout I always regarded these guys as massively successful but I guess that was from my small London rave scene context. I guess there are broader contexts to be considered like Artistic success, Commercial success, Global success or something that bolsters you firmly into a long term career and constant work. Again in music, that can be a fight for anyone and I think MC has been a massive winner to achieve that.
What also can’t be denied is Det and all other Jungle MC’s part in helping along the British rap scene into the huge place in our culture it has today and the should forever get all the credit and recognition they deserve that.
On this Jungle Committee meeting, correct me if I’m wrong but I always thought the story went that Goldie stepped away from the Ragga Jungle sound first and was one of the main players with MetalHeadz to develop it into D&B and TechStep. Then after Jungles peak in 94-95 and UK Garage stealing the spotlight, all Jungle seemed to follow that into sounding like the Drum & Bass format. Of course eventually D&B would even look to Grime and Dubstep for influences in which the MC become even more important again. So another win for MC culture. Again it’s Jungle MC’s & guys like MC Det that we owe that debt.
Loving the Show DJ Ron, keep up the amazing work. 🤘🏼💜🔥😜👍🏼
Biggggggup Brocks an Det from Lazerdrome to date been smashing it out the park 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆💣💣💣💣💣💚🙏💨
Very interesting interview this on the struggles of an MC. Great chat.
Legends
Thank you.
I never realised how funny Det is! What an incredible story 👏 remember listening to him in 92 on kool fm. we'll done Ron ✔ Big up Det hip hip
Det is completely correct.The new found minimalism in the productions allowed the MC’s to breath over the music without vocals cluttering their rhymes.
Thoroughly enjoyed that👊🏼💯
Really pleased you did. Thanks for being a part of the process.
SOUR records "introduced" me to Det. Early 90's.
Fantastic stories there, great interview, big up Det for all his achievements in and out of the scene.....you know whenever Brockie dropped Dj Krusts Angles with Det on the mic it was going off !
Loving these videos, thank you Ron. I was maybe 10yrs old when I tuned into Kool FM randomly and got taken away by the music. The stories of these icons from my younger years are brilliant. Will you be doing a video telling us about your story? I would love it if you could. Much love :-)
Should do a part 2 excellent show mr Ron big up Mc Det absolute legend true talent loads of interesting experiences love the Timberland stories and insight on how dnb mc's struggled to do there thing it was tough, dnb/ jungle has come a long way wicked show.
Big Respect ,big up Ron & Det ,Loved this interview 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Big up Mc Det! The original don. One of those mcs where people who forgot and dnt listen Jungle anymore can hear his voice and be like OMG he was my favourite mc! Big up for mentioning Stevie aswel, didn’t like it when i herd what that dj done in a recent interview. Stay Solid. One

Good interview!! Big up MC Det!!!
Soft Cell
Brilliant podcast - always been a huge Det fan. The stage presence and delivery phenomenal. He tears raves to bits.
I can't remember where in the timeline Det said he was on the show but wasn't it around the time Marilyn Manson covered it.?
Good naa The best 💪🏻❤️
Soft Cell 🙌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔥
Great interview! Don’t get to hear MC Det interviewed by himself very often, well done DJ Ron and Rinse FM for these
Absolutely loving this DJ Ron. Loving his content in the question and loving what the guests have to say. By far this is the most interesting drum and bass talk show I've seen. I just haven't taken to the others. Mind you I'm more interested in the older DJs than the new so that might have something to do with it.
Really interesting what DET has to say I love his honesty!
This is a great interview, I grew up in the 90’s listening to Kool
Deep in the Jungle lookin....! Big Up!!!!
A really good interview. So glad Det spoke on the politics and fight that MC's faced in the early days, because it was rotten at times.
“From that day roast put us in the main arena” said with so much pride lol 👌👌👍🏻
Det ,your voice is so distinctive,like no other.You are good goes with out saying ,that’s why no 1 said
Love mc / dj disgustion, DJ need a speaker, and also the MC, Love it!!!
B-R-O-C-K...its's Brockie...he's my DJ.....easy...easy...watch the riiiide!
Mc det, your more than good, your a genius that's inspired many people.
The Timbaland story was fantastic, really good interview (again!)
Great discussion chaps. Love the lively debate between these OSVs that came from such similar backgrounds in the scene but with their own unique takes on its development.
Mc det the original voice of the 9 4 5 thankyou sir for many a good rave r.I.p sanctuary Rex bagleys etc
The infamous "meeting" 😆Ron was not amused.
25:50 - 29:00 its interesting hearing about the politics going on at the time that influenced the sounds and scene. As a listener, it just felt like a natural progression until about 2000, when it felt completely different.
Ron you seem like a chill guy! Thank you for the output.
What a great interview
Watched this for the second time, just so good!
It's a very good.imterview, but you have a lot of time on your hands bro lol
What a brilliant podcast,!
still got a some tdk with ron and det on them lol those wore the days
