Messrs Hype and Hyper D were on fire that night. There was no synchronise button in those days, kids. Hype demonstrated his talents, most notable when the needle jumped during R-Type, where he cut and scratched the hi-hat as if it were intentional. Hype proceeded with a double rewind and then teased the crowd with at least three tunes, 31 seconds et al, whilst another tune played. Meanwhile, the grand master of ceremonies, Sir Hyper D, dropped versatile lyrics - the crowd were putty in his hands
Stevie Hyper D is the actual definition of a Junglist - such a rude boy dappa don, but at the same time the kindest, most lovely person you could meet. Anyone worth their salt in Drums knows this. Some will never get it. LISTEN to his lyrics and look at his photo with Fearless. "Big up miself, big up mi chest, I'm the best, I'm nottin' less, big up all people inside my flex, from the front to the back to the right to the left, east, nort', sout', wes', I want to see your brightness, maximum respect." ;) Cha rude boy. RIP
CheeseBurgerTM RIP the Hyper D... ...I never saw him personally, but everyone I know that did see him were enlightened and always raised him above ALL other MCs.
Louis Edoo seen Stevie on many occasions believe me he was the best mc then and still hasn't been equalled by any other mc since and prob never will true king of the mic's legend
Me n my mate bin rinsin this set for 20 years and it never gets old! Still got the tape!! I think hype was at his best in these days, alongside the very best mc ever😍
Year I was born!! No mc compares to hyper d in my eyes!! Wish I could have seen the legend himself, big up stevie one love to the original junglists and ravers
Spot on! The current MC were inspired. Evil B has lyrics about the very thing you spoke about, talking about how he looked up to Hyper D. Rude FM and Rinse FM's MCs were massively influenced by him. Even Skibadee and Shabba D looked up to him when they weren't headlining big raves in 1994. I remember seeing Shabba's face at Telepathy in 1994 when Hyper D rinsed out. Inspirational MC to them all! Rest in peace.
Inspired but failing after 2005. Det is still det same raga twins but shaba n skiba ain't the same. Don't hear enough of ic3 n moose navy have disappeared that was the era
Nobody flowed like hyper d. Skibba,shabba, eksman, herbzie, baseman, trigga. There all sick in there own ways but every single one knows who the real great was. Rip stevie hyper d ❤
I love how you call it a party not a rave, them days must of been 10x better! Hyper d is my fav by far and I was born the year he died:( he must of been a proper entertainer only wish I could of seen the legend himself, today's raves are shite just a bunch of people on phones, no love anymore.
@@yd6307 It was a different vibe man, I saw him in 98 when I first started raving...By the time I'd stopped going in 2006 it wasn't the same. Still, era's come and go...
One nations was good! I went too the 1st birthday in 94 at rocket was my 2nd rave. First bring voodoo magic which was the best jungle/dnb rave I ever went too that's putting aside world dance, helter skelter and united dance the big ones of corse. Pure nostalgia listening too this. 94 too 98 was the best years 94/5 was just unreal the younger wld be shocked if they witnessed even 5 mins of that atmosphere ftom voodoo, or innersense ect
Still to this day, fifteen years after his passing, I shed a tear when I hear Stevie's lyrics. Taken too soon, only God knows what the full extent of Stevie's potential was. For all us ageing cheesy quavers, I take solace in knowledge that Stevie is warming things up on the other side. R.I.P
Oh man. Just found this. I was there back in the day when raves were raves not like now. So many memories listening to this. RIP Hyper D. You made the early '90's for me. And Hype. You da man. HAAAAPLA
Ye no I phones or social mediums loved them days proper raving everyone came to Brock out and nothing less I took 7 pills and 2 grams of bass at this night omg what a fucking night now every fucked stands round with their phones trying to capture the moment instead of living it 95-98 The golden years dnb ain't been the same since Stevie sadly passed away
That’s when raving was raving not like the staged shit you get today....all that crouching down when the mc tells you to shit.....we used to turn up take as many pills as ya could get down ya and dance till the last tune finished,same again the next week
Still to this day, for me this is the holy grail. Best set I've ever heard Hype lay down & this my friends is mcing at its finest. If it's not ur bad then fine, each to their own. As long as you enjoyed yourself. POST ur fav set. RIP stevie man x
Went to this, don't care what anyone says these were the best days ever once hyper d started mcing the place Went crazy the scene will never be this good again, rip hyper d🙏
A legend at the raves and on the FM dial. As good on radio as the raves. He had a mixed bag of styles and interacted with crowd. Simply the best. I have tons of his shows on our channel.
I was 4 when he died, didn't even know who he was then but tonnes of respect for the man, paved the way for other mcs, represented jungle through and through
was at this rave in v.i.p an have to say dat this was one of my fav EVER... R.I.P TO THE GREAT HYPER D... REMEMBER IM GONNA KICK START YOUR BRAIN--- HYPER D DATS DA NAME......
The era of dnb before i was around. I was 5 when this set was out and it's fucking massive at nearly 20 still. Glad Nicky black market still drops a few bangers from this era at raves. Rip stevie hyper d
God damn, 500 words is not enough space. Continuing from my last post; at the time of this recording, Hyper D's status and respect was taking an exponential trajectory. Performing at all the major raves up and down the country, Stevie's innovative vocal skills, through word of mouth and mix tapes [yes tapes], started to get acknowledged by a worldwide audience. Stevie was at the height of his career when the drum and bass scene took a profound shock after learning of Stevie's passing.
Yes I do! I remember MC Mystery Major of Rinse FM 91.8 down there. His style was massively influenced by Hyper D. Great nights down there. Miss that venue and those raves.
Classic mixing skills by Hype, scratching & tearing up the beats & bass!!! Sadly I can never appreciate digital mixing and new school try-to-be's in comparison to the legends. Still some super great chunes being produced though :-)
When Hyper D rocked up this night we were upstairs @ the sanctuary and When we heard 'Junglists are you ready' I was like Usain bolt down to the main arena and the night was to begin..One of the best raves ever went to Hyper D,Det,Skibadee just tearing the place apart.
What would the scene be like today if he was alive? I left the jungle DnB scene years ago because of the transition of the shit MC's today, UNCZ bollocks, bring back the days when skiba and det were good, when hyper would smash everything the B2B's with MCMC, Fearless, Riddla!!!
Timberland. They really do make fantastic clothes. I had a few hoodies made by them, they never ripped or shrunk, always looked good. I miss those days. I used to have a pair of millennium rockports.
That mix with them rhymes, Mix top draw, Hyper in another league and as always Hyper knew when to roll and when to let the mix do the talking, true legend and always about the happy vibes, i don't think there was ever a dj who got lined up with hyper d and knew that he'd take things to another level, only Bassman, Fearless and Dett come close to that level
R.I.P. STEVIE HYPER D God can be so cruel at times best MC to ever be in this game seen him many a times bk in the day but then God was to realise he had no MC to enjoy and took him for himself and started the rave scene up there cuz when he took SHD I witnessed the DNB scene start to show it was losing its pride and the ravers started to change, JUST LOOK AT IT KNOW TO THE 90'S I'd still be raving every weekend without fail if the rave scene was still the same GBNF R.I.P SHD STILL SMASHING IT UP THERE 4 SURE TILL WE MEET AGAIN CANT WAIT 🙂👊😉
That was a deep comment. Also maturely written. It captures the raw emotions we felt at those raves. Always hearing of people off their face but I remember the music the vibes. He was master of his craft and I am sure he was still around he would have pioneered the modern sound. I never missed a Sunday show of his on Kool FM. Rest in peace Stevie Hyper D. God Bless! 1
It is a matter of closeness. For instance, say one of your crew passed away, would you share a tear? Likewise, if one of my crew passed away, would you shed a tear? Think about it. Respect.
