    Big respect STRANJAH

  • @skeennah1927

    This was one of the most amazing videos I have ever watched on youtube. 7 out of the 10 tracks deconstructed, I own the vinyl, bought between 93-94, some of the best years of my life raving to Jungle. This video was perfectly done, and the breaks deconstructed, and it really gave me chance to see the DNA, of the tracks I loved soo much.
    After this video I had to subscribe to you, also I love when you play the final deconstruction, yoy show Lives screen at angle, nice touch.

      It was produced by Undercover Agent aka Splash. I won't mention his name but the man was a true visionary. Dubplate Circles, Oh Gosh and many more. I remember hearing it on dubplate via Pirate radio and my Jamo's were rumbling - happy memories.
