I’ve played double bass for 20 years (this tune partly influenced my decision to get one) - I play some fairly complex jazz runs and still find this a bugger to play!
This is the pinnacle of DnB in the world. Playing it live and sounding unbelievable, on a medium that EVERYONE can see. You didn't have to go to a rave to hear this, it was on BBC!
Never stopped blasting D&B. Not baking as much as I used too but that's ok. Break beats (and beats in general) are my daily high. I'm actually hear now looking for some old school jams to add to my library. The rhythm never stops!
Saw a documentary (?) which showed them all playing in a kitchen or something... bass player sat on the counter... never been able to find it since. Best thing I'd ever seen.
I saw Roni Size in front of about 40 people whilst doing sound checks at the Reading festival in 97 or 98 ( too stoned at the time to remember years!). Coolest man alive; and the dance tent rocked later during the performance.
What a track. Britain really does produce some talent. Huge shout from the US. Loving these guys and also other various UK electronica based acts like Faithless, Burial, Chemical Brothers, FSOL, UNKLE, Underworld, Massive Attack, Leftfield, Stereo Mcs, The Streets, Goldie, Sleaford Mods, The Bug, ALLFLAWS
Was fortunate enough to see them on this tour in Toronto back in the day. Unbelievable performance, leagues ahead of everyone and the crew were true pioneers. Great days!
Remember this was my favourite cd listening in college, thought yer man toasting was the actual shit. Beautiful time thanks Ronnie 🙏 apologies about the additional n. 😆
Check the original version and understand this is another planet.Riff ,on time ,off time , stop, and begin again , these guys could pour out a bag of marbles and it would sound like music.
It lives, the bass is the heartbeat that it gives When we apply the brakes, there'll be no skids Just more elements to consider as we glide Dimensions and the measurements and the evidence you will find
0:58 that was what we called a "computer monitor" , in the ancient dreamtime of music . The Elders of the tribe used to connect their "desktop computers" to it . 1:22 Real, it was kept.
