swear 93 had some of the best tunes. Was certainly my favourite year of raving as jungle emerged from the rave scene. hearing some of the noises and complex brakes for the first time was mind blowing, or was that them there disco biscuits!
Absolute monster of a tune, one of my faves for that serious heavy kick drum and the synths that take you through space to another dimension!!! The deep dark melodic base line just adds the icing on the cake, tune is just way to sci fi dystopian goodness!!!
MARK BENNETT exceptional track of the most important memories of my life which I have to say that I wish every single day that I was back there again in the early to mid 990s and I'm now 43 and it's taken me ages to find this
Only took me 29 years to find out what this badass tune was called! Used to hear it being mixed-up all the time on pirate radio in Sheffield and on my rave tapes that the stations would put on auto-reverse overnight. Thanks mickeybeam75 & RU-vid!
@@richrobertsuk I think it was Fantasy FM and SCR used to leave tapes on Auto Reverse overnight sometimes till the afternoon. Used to get some tapes from Raves being played out overnight too. 👍 Someone borrowed a great one of Jumping Jack Frost and I never got it back!
Just been building myself a playlist and stumbled on this comment. There was also Hardcore FM 92 onwards which I seem to remember catered for this style. There was the odd DJ or duo on the other stations but they were more eclectic. Jack Smooth fired out so many timeless tunes
hardcore jungle Techno at it's best! Astoria and The Rocket, Camden Palace were we dance all night and then went breakfast club or dungeons after crazy Club was on
@@JanineAlyshaX I mean it’s not since there’s a 4/4 kickdrum in there but thanks for your contribution. In fact this is probably the quintessential jungle tekno track. For dark side hardcore check out something more like Underground Feeling by Jim Vas and Neil Polo or Here Come the Drumz by Doc Scott
everybody used to belt out the remix,but this was absolutely the mutts nuts back in the day.rare as rocking horse shit.took me 6 months after release to get it on white.
For anyone who didn't attend orange at astoria there are a number of videos on you tube of those nights. But I can confirm. They were great nights. Better when the balcony was open. Bit more intimate when it weren't.
This is an amazing track! I'm wondering something.. if Wax Doctor (Paul Saunders) is the producer of this track, then why on the record its saying produced & mixed by Jack Smooth. Who is the real producer of this tune?
Yes... some digital synths that have square wave can get close. The waveshaping engine in the 01W makes unique sounds other synths struggle to emulate. People may have sampled it, but there will be plenty where people have used a square wave, so will sound similar, but not exact.
Nonsense!! It's meant to be at this tempo, unless you wanna mix it into a House set lol. If you're expecting mega quality audio on uploads from over 5 years ago you're mistaken!
It's not 'meant to be' this tempo- the sleeve and label of this version have no BPM info. I'm a record producer, I'm not talking about audio quality- turntables have no pitch control, this is pitched up way too fast and its made the audio thin. This playback speed is incorrect for the scene the year this was released, this was recorded to be played back significantly slower- which is why the break sounds like a dying midget playing a kids drum kit with a couple of pencils. LOL
stuporstar Firstly, this was recorded at around 0% Pitch, therefore it isn't too fast. Its the speed the track was produced. And given that this was made in the Summer of 92' predominantly played within the UK Hardcore Breakbeat scene of the day the speed is no where near faster than it should be. In fact, you'll find a bucket load of mixes with DJ's pushing the tempo up on this track way faster than this. If you want to listen to music plodding along at a much slower pace than intended, then each to their own and all that, agree to disagree etc lol!!
Was gonna say Ive heard this and indeed have played this myself many times at higher speeds ( I recall Seduction, Stu Allen and Easygroove all playing it faster on tapes/cd's I own ), If I ever played it slower it didnt sound right to me so Ild usually let the mix come in, Switch over, REWIND then bang the pitch up. You have it spot on Mickey :) And anyone who was a true raver from back then would most probably agree :)
