The Truper aka Photek, Classic Jungle Streetbeats vol 2

[AcidGAz72]

Got this on vinyl. One of my most prized possessions. Old skool jungle at its best. Bought it for £2.50 back in the day.

[todei79]

This track has been part of my playlist for a couple of years now and still remains one of my favs.

HAD to track this record down after hearing on DJ Coldcut's 70 Minutes of Madness - Journeys by DJ mix so many years back. It took QUITE a while. Now it is gathering dust in my bins! Thanks for bringing this one out.

[yashioman]

Monkey making me have lullz over here. Great tune.

[drplbiftin]

Nice rockin' monkey.

[junglistduppy]

FEKKIN AWESOME! One of his best this track, for some reason all I can hear in my head is Conrad yelling "the beats are gonna bang and make your mind EXPLODE!"

I am currently covered head to foot in goosebumps, quality

[nikhilesh93]

Each track is so awesome.

And yeet Photek has made so many.

I wonder how he comes up with so many 1337 beatz. :-)

[blahfm]

This is truper vol 2 NOT streetbeats 2.

Truper is an anogram of rupert.

[H4NDCRAFTED]

Yes, thanks for that. I hadn't even thought of the anagram. Obvious really, thanks information always welcome.

[hypercatjohn]

P.s Please don't shout you don't need to attrct attention to yourself, trust me.

[H4NDCRAFTED]

[Genderform]

BIG UP for H4NDCRAFTED, Mad Respect.

To all you others:Stop writing about this ape, IT'S ALL ABOUT GOOD MUSIC!

[c1h9o8b0i]

The ape has better moves than that fool Soulja Boy

[adp47]

@c1h9o8b0i for real chikaboy!

[turntabletimmy]

i fuckn luv this tune. h4ndcrafted... big up!

[jrokcrazy]

NUTTY

[yellowacid1]

Whats with the damn teddy? By the way the songs not bad, the others Photek has are worse.

[H4NDCRAFTED]

It's not a teddy it's an ape that likes PG tea and Jungle.

[hypercatjohn]

Haha, seriously hope you're joking, fucking retarded comment "the others Photek has are worse"?!

[H4NDCRAFTED]

I fear yellowacid is just a troll on the windup, well lets hope eh ;)

[turntabletimmy]

you obviously don't know shit.

[mikeb1444]

I have never felt the need to use Photek and the word "worse" in the same sentence. There's no such thing as worse jungle.

[thedjski]

i think the amen break shud go up for a music award is the original drummer stil alive??

[hypercatjohn]

ez...could you do us all the biggest favour in the world and post side b?  the bassline in the last third is just too sick for my brain to comprehend!

[saik0sick]

best one of streetbeatz

incredible combination of sounds.

just sick...

[hypercatjohn]

I'm not even joking right, I'm watching this wanky "ten years on" thing about the tv show "airport" and they used this in the background on one've the sections about the press guys who worked at the airport. mad how some shite tv shows are created by people who secretly have deadly taste in music!

[H4NDCRAFTED]

I know, I saw that, made me cringe that they would use it for that.

Same as when they use dj shadow tracks on everything.

I hate bbc sound guys they never get it right.

[Lphixdj]

Imo, the best of the set he made on street beats,they are all good don't get me wrong,but this one's just that little bit better,has a great b side to. Goes for a small fortune on e-bay/discogs...but then again so do most of photek's early works..Genius!

[H4NDCRAFTED]

I think most peeps would agree with that. Notmany people rinsed it though oddly. Perhapes i was just in the wrong clubs.

You could reliy on Fabio and Bukem to drop it though.

[Lphixdj]

Same goes here,dont remember hearing it out at all..which is ridiculous!? Lots of dj"s spining da same ting back then tho..i think this was pretty late 94 so hardstep was starting to rule the dance floor..thank god for bukem n fabio eh!.... Sorry about the double post,thought i had lost what i first wrote..so i did it again.. : )

[hypercatjohn]

good call on the rp6's by the way, i have the 5's and they sound so sexy clear!

[Lphixdj]

My personal fav of the truper set (3 in the set) on street beats,they are all good, but this ones just that little bit better imo. As has been said on here already goes for a small fortune on e-bay/discogs,but then again so do most of photek's early works.... Genius!

[Impalass8813]

yes it wod be orgasmic to get an mp3 uploaded somewhere or provide a link..

and yea the slipknot song with amen is eyeless and its not hidden it starts out with it and comes back...the whole song is based off that rhythm...quite sick with the scratching....it was so odd finding out slipknot was drum n bass influenced

[H4NDCRAFTED]

yes I'm uploading one at 1kps now!

Why would I upload a rare record that I paid good money for and make it ermmm not so rare to hear ?

[upT3mpo]

so ermmmm basically you're gloating mate? Niiice.

but love the tune, awesome!

and the monkey too.

[Impalass8813]

yes it wod be orgasmic to get an mp3 uploaded somewhere or provide a link..

and yea the slipknot song with amen is eyeless and its not hidden it starts out with it and comes back...the whole song is based off that rhythm...quite sick with the scratching....it was so odd finding out slipknot was drum n bass influenced

[Impalass8813]

god, i need an MP3 of this.

Def one of the greatest dnb tracks ever.

oh and slipknot used the amen on eyeless...and its actually not hidden the whole song is kinda based on it....it starts out with it and comes back..it was so strange learning that they used it after hearing..had no idea it was drum n bass influenced.

[Swr88]

honestly towards the end the only thing keeping me watching this video was the monkey hahaha

[spaceyourface420]

watching? i couldnt sit still long enough to watch 2 seconds of this video, GET UP AND DANCE!

wish photek would bring back some of these flavors into his current productions :(

[CorporalUK]

The Monkey fuckin loves this tune!!

[xEcho419x]

You got a MP3 of this?

[dillinjaxx]

this is also in a coldcut mix.

[H4NDCRAFTED]

Yes is on their 70mins of madness mix.

Prob where alot of people have heard it from.

[rettersvess]

Amen to this yoooo!

[RichieVibeVee]

Love the style with the Raving monkey. I have the monkey not the tune but I can see having both is were the good time is at! Thanks for posting. This tune going for 50 quid on Discogs oh mannnnn

[namwith]

Rupert really needs to collect all his old material and re-release it.

I love vinyl but seriously there are a lot of people out there who would eat this shit up if it were available digitally...

[lordofthedez]

one of my favourite photek tracks, glad i only paid a £5'er for it back in yo day....went for £50 last week on ebay!!!!

[H4NDCRAFTED]

I saw one go for £75 ...really.

Not sure I would pay that..I paid £15 for mine..I also got the chemical brothers first testpress of song to the siren..the one with the green square label. It's on my profile..only 500 about.

[sector7gproductions]

Respect !

[jacknesky]

awsome!

[c1h9o8b0i]

OMFG This is such a great cut!!

Timeless

[todei79]

Great track man! This is the shit I love. I stumbled upon jungle in 2003 and have had a real hard time finding it. If it weren't for youtube I'd still be searching. Now I got find were I can buy some of this. Thanks.

[theroob]

Monkey has good taste in choons m8!

[madmikejehuty]

Fucking lovely.

[threesyle]

no one cuts up breaks like photek,the amen sounds so slow compared to the speeds it gets used at these days, photek and the amen,the perfect match,tune!!! all original ravers big up ya chess

[DJNoizeUK]

monkey is ravin

[macawalrus]

that monkey is fresh

sick beats

[subvertbeats]

Ahhhh, I used to co-run this label.

DO you have the other volumes up? I could sort it for you if needed....

[ianizer]

siick tunee man

[oldhatrs25]

Photek always rips it up on drums. Thx for posting this.

[cm1179]

awesome video. awesome tune.

bukem favourite! anyone get hold of a copy of 'feeling up' and stick it up on this style for god like status

[Lawnwake]

jungle will be back. you shall all see. 80's fashion was revived, it's time for the early nineties now. Prepare for junglefests near you. that and camo's

[hypercatjohn]

I've said this for a long while now, people are bored of 2 step monotony. people like seba & paradox are pushing the sound forward with intelligent breaks, junglists unite!

[slackmastercg]

hahah ur too much with that little monkey man , mad props tho

[MADROCKS212]

WOW!!

THANKS FOR THAT. i have many originals from as far back as 91. its strange when you buy them and your 18 you dont think how sort after the tune will end up being in the future.

long live original jungle. rolling drumlines and the amen beat that gave the fire to all the best tunes from back then.

thanks man!!!

[hypercatjohn]

we thank god for the best drumline ever created...amen :)

[Lawnwake]

rip this to a high quality mp3 file and I'll have your baby

[Droyd21]

reminds me very much of Lemon D - This is LA

[H4NDCRAFTED]

Love and have that track too, Urban style music is a great track too.

[zomfgmz]

lol your monkey + this tune= a happy day

[theroob]

HUGE UPS for posting this wicked choon man!

[robbo2]

haha the dancing monkey gets me everytime.. Wicked tune, I freakin love Photek

[tuneseeker]

AMEN to that brother !!

[macca3871]

you don't have the sounds of life (source direct) remix of "can we change the future" do you? Some cunt stole it from me at a party best part of a decade ago and I'd love to see it on youtube. You seem a likely candidate...

[H4NDCRAFTED]

Think I might you know, I'll dig it out. Was it release 8 ?

[goodlookingTV]

Tune! If you like deep-rolling, atmospheric, soulful & hypnotic liquid drum & bass - glo style! ... then subscribe to the all new goodlookingTV

[YTLaurens]

Hey, no problem H4NDCRAFTED. Yes, I checked out that video, I really love it! Do you know any other breaks that have been sampled a lot besides the amen and funky drummer? I do know the intro drum from 'It's a new day' from Skull Snaps, but all I know are artists like Rob Dougan, The Prodiy and Steez-O who used the sample. Thanks in advance!

[elveto88]

I'd kill for having that track

[turntabletimmy]

yep i think i would too

[YTLaurens]

I didn't say it is something to be ashamed about, I mean, the amen break is really cool. It is indeed fasinating to see how the break was not only used in hip hop and jungle (and later in dnb), but also in songs from bands like the petshop boys, and, acording to the list on wikipedia, slipknot (it's not so recognisable, but it seems to be in there) !

[H4NDCRAFTED]

Ok, but your forgive me if I read it the wrong way..the 'lol' at the end seemed to suggest this.

I didn't know weather you found it funny hah ha or funny strange...I guess both.

Have you seen the vid documenting the copyright of the 'amen' and how it's been used, and now copy righted, by a sample cd manufacturer even though they have never bought the rights. It's an interesting piece..I have it in one of my playlists if you looksee.

[YTLaurens]

It's ok, but notice that most of jungle is based on a 6-second drumsolo from a funk track from 1969. I mean 6 seconds... ok it are 6 cool seconds but... Lol

[H4NDCRAFTED]

Of course the amen break wasn't the only one to be used of course, and really made it's name in hip hop. After all that what early jungle was...speeded up hip and funk breaks..no suprise there.

What is wonderful is the many ways in which amens etc have been chopped and used to make great drum loops...it's a wonderful thing and nothing to be ashammed about.

[KrownKrow]

Sickest, TRUEST dnb track i've ever heard. Too bad real music like this is just going downhill faster than anyone can blink.

[hypercatjohn]

fully agree, man of my own heart, wheres the real tunes gone.

[Lawnwake]

they died with 1995 :P newskool is shit

[mistaben2k]

I agree.I don't bother listen to this type of music today because it is far below this period of tune making..

[H4NDCRAFTED]

Yep I loved how d&b had progressed by 1995. the 'intelligent' sound with all the metalheadz early releases. It really felt like the music of the future. There is good stuff now..but all that seems to get aired is that hoover driven hardstep :(

[renandstimpyfanlol]

stone cold classic

time for the jungle revival

real music

[studiofever]

THIS TRACK IS SICK!

[path2revolution]

this is what someone can call fuckin good stuff!

[Jolar70]

Who thought simplifying the beats was a good idea? 2 step? No thanks! Jungle (with real BASS) was as scary as it got!

[secphas001]

i wish the scene could go back to this stuff....boo hoo!!!

[smackmiranda]

I'm with the monkey on this one...

Tune!

[fiya2911]

Niceness!!;)

[secphas001]

sounds of a man like rupert!!!!!yeah!!!!!!!
