Some noise Made it to SW1 quite a few nights when they were there. I'm not sure I went to anything at Paradise but I know I did not goto AWOL there, did it change names over the years? Roller Express, Bagleys, Linfords, SE1, Palace, Camden, Rocket, Astoria, Club Lab and loads more + bigger events around the country. Chances are our paths would have crossed. I missed Sterns as well, was fucking gutted about that! I was supposed to go to a few nights there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanctuary we were always there Stevenage for United Dance Temptation in the College dining hall/Car park, was that Oxford or Cambridge. I've got all my flyers and some tickets tucked away in case they ever go up in value. Last time I looked they were buying by the kilo but that was a few years back 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no fecking clue about the night, I don't even remember the club! According to him we went to sterns as well, I vaguely remember that after he described what happened as we were young. Still don't remember the night just the back bit. I'm usually good with nights out and remember quite a bit, these two.. wiped from memory! Thank fuck we did not have cameras, some twat would have pulled a video out of me off my swede on the speakers with a horn.. "yeah we did, look, that's you!!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the production talents of Mefjus, Noisia, Phace etc and in it's own right is great, but a long with Jump Up styles like Macky Gee has changed DnB a lot.. LTJ Bukem though... Now you are talking! Atlantis is a tune! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stummer Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Yeah I get what you mean, too much of it would probably do my nut in. It has just grown on me a little what with my brother. V recordings, was one of their nights that was my first rave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are tracks I do like and have seen most of the big artists live at DnB events over the years.. I just don't like the way in general it brings a 'hard style' vibe to events/parties in the same way Jump Up will attract a more "rude boi/chav" type crowd? Not sure if that is fair to say, it is just my observation. I have been involved with organising events/parties and have mixed drum and bass/jungle for 12 years - I am biased, so take what I say with a pinch of salt Edited May 3, 2019 by InTheSystem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind an mc to certain types of dnb such as your jungle and god knows whatever name they call the other stuff I like. The jump up stuff though with an mc talking absolute bollocks gets on my tits tbh. Plus as you say it tends to bring the little wanna be chav types as well. Skinny little mugs with less fat than a chip who wanna act the bad boy at a rave. Funny how they still have enough sense to know which people to try act hard around . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC's can really cause havoc and ruin the music, Agreed They can also compliment the set well.... Tonn Piper in my opinion is a great MC with Andy C, he rarely spits lyrics, he just adds a bit of life and interaction with the crowd and has Andy's back if there is a technical issue or problems with vinyls.. Some of the skips and rewinds where he steps in, most people would probably not even notice he is covering up a fuck up haha MC Stamina was always a great one to see amongst others (mostly Jungle as you are saying, Ragga Twins, General Levy etc).. But yes, these MC's like SASASAS? (Skibadee, Shotta, Ecksman etc) - never been a big fan of, people seem to love them though.
