  • the best there is.PHOTEK. dont forget about source direct and square pusher.

    

  • Two sky´s one school ? Miamoto Musashi´s swordstyle

  • I remember watching this on MTVs AMP.  Really pisses me off that they don't have anything similar to AMP on MTV in the States. MTV is much better in other countries. Cheers you European Cunts.

  • @NLB90805 Our MTV isnt that better. It became paytv some time ago...now its only streaming kesha and other shi.t

  • Anyone know where I can find this mixed with nine inch nails - a warm place? I had it ages ago downloaded from kazaa and it's epic!

  • i remember i turned on the semi-mainstream music channel on at 5am after coming home from a dance party, having had listened to disappointing house and electro music all night, i just wanted to hear at least something semi decent.. and guess what came on.. i was given gold. made my year. my all time fav jungle track

  • @docwolfman I think it's "The Seven Samurai", but I'm probably wrong

  • Anyone know the name of the movie in this vid?

  • 240p we meet again.

  • Waow, His Niten Ichi Ryu mastering rocks a lot!

  • This guys really good on his bins

  • This song was 65 years ahead of its time.

  • Sickest tune. Back ina day Photeck was a fukcin hero with a sampler for me. Shame, he does only shitty as hell dubstep/house music nowadays...

  • slice n dice

  • The way this tune made the dancefloor move was something to behold. Classic tune!

  • @mr0berts

    yup and sadly nowadays it would clear the dancefloor and you would have legions of mongs asking for the latest netsky tune to be dropped instead...

  • I have been watching Samurai films since i was a kid, never seen this. (I mean the video, I have been listening to Photek for a long time though!) Love the track just a quick dumb question is this a movie or a video made exclusevly for the track?

  • @ashinocy I saw this footage in a documentary video about Miyamoto Musashi - I'm not sure but I think it was made for that doc. Try searching Musashi and you might find it here.

  • who else wants to learn samurai with me?

  • Religiously bought all Photek (and his numerous alter egos) material between that golden period of DnB for me which was the dark vibes of 93 right up until 97-98.

    Every Photek track has its own unique break patterns, almost like he'd carved up each particular break, snare, drum-roll and given them individual attention.

    Thats why Photek stood out from the pack. Attention to detail.

  • @SilverCyborgRonnie agreed. 100%

  • 36 warriors were killed with the two-sword technique

  • REAL!!!!!

  • the drums, THE DRUMS!

  • Who the fuck clicks dislike? I mean honestly now.

  • Yeah I got the 12". This was one of my favorites to spin back in high school.

  • Yeah I got the 12". This was one of my favorites.

  • @KoenMaster28 without this, there is no Pendulum

  • Used to be a dishonorable technique to use both hands on the sword,let alone two swords,but then again,Musashi was the greatest swordsman of all time.....

  • "Ni ten ichi Ryu: Two heavens joined as one. The swordstyle of two blades. This first section of this video depicts Miyamoto Musashi meditating & crafting the Ni Ten Technique. The later half, mind & body are one as fluid motion. Evident from Master Mushashi's victory in combat."

  • Ni ten ichi Ryu: Two heavens joined as one. The swordstyle of two blades. This first section of this video depicts Miyamoto Musashi meditating & crafting on Ni Ten Technique. The later half, mind & body are one as fluid motion. Evident from Master Mushashi's victory in combat.

  • i remember when this just came out and it was number one in the ' one in the jungle ' chart for ages. anyway i recorded it onto an old D90 cassette over and over on both sides and took the tape to a friends.his mum wasnted him to put wood stain on her fence so i said i would do it if my mate put his speakers in the window and kept turning the tape over. i ended up painting the whole fence in teh sun while pretending to do samurai moves with the brush with this tune blasting.. good times.

  • @dazzlet666 memories

  • @dazzlet666 fucking hero!

  • No comparison whatsoever with what's going on right now in the dnb scene. This is much more dark, atmosferic with no heavy drops just smooth sailing .Respect Photek, Roni Size,Goldie,Source Direct etc

  • @1eu2tu

    I agree, apart from i will add, there is a big drop in 99% of d&b/jungle, it is a super important element within the arrangement of a track- a device to build tension before a switch in rhythms/tempo/beats and usually a combination of all three. Oh and there are drops in this tune, its just- the tune is so smooth and precise the drops almost sail by unnoticed to the unknowing ears, but if you listen carefuly there are two points in the track which are definite drops.

  • Cats were on some different shit....killa breakz!!!!!

  • @drnz

    Nah- just this cat was on a completely fukin different planet :-)

  • yep, my all-time fave, too :)

  • yep, my all-time fave, too :)

  • Why so many pendulum haters :< Jeez you guys act like you didn't listen to their music at one time or another. I hate it when people find a new source of music they instantly go back to bashing the previous type of music they listened to because its "Cool" or what everyone else is doing. I bet half of you still have Hold Your Colour on your iPod's. Hop off the bandwagon fanboys.

  • @SUPERMANMAN09

    I work in the house community. I've always been a jungle/glitch boy at heart. As someone who's worked in distribution for the past 6 years, I will tell you why the fanboys hate:

    Press sells, if you don't have sex or violence. If you're Noisia, Phace, or Gein, you might get a little touring press, but if you work the press game like Tommie Sunshine did, you can be a nobody with Resident Advisor and DogsOnAcid licking your boots.

    Hype != good. Pendulum has a lot of hype.

  • For those who clicked dislike go listen to BBC.co.uk gardening program :-)

  • If anyone knows a better jungle/d&b/breakbeat track than this, please let me know.

  • probably one of his best tracks. pendulum...why would i waste my time on that crap...rather dillinja. but surely not pendulum.

  • the D&B is considered by the most of the people , who have no idea whats music .. music for drug addicts, but i say this music will go very good with a blunt , but without nothing , it really makes me wanna concentrate Real Art! for the knowers PHOTEK real pioneer

  • @AlexTheLoveDoctor Music is Whatever gives you passion....

  • no no, not me, pendulum and of course your little cat!

    now go back to your pendulum and your suckers music!

  • Photek is so ill, the drum programming here is so much better than looped amens

  • A major feature of Rupert Parke's sound was restraint in production. Comparable to traditional Japanese music; the silence between each sound is just as important as each drum hit itself...

  • this is one of the greatest of that era! just listen to modus operandi or hidden camera!

  • Japanese choreography is so much better than Chinese dance fighting choreography

  • I wish people were still producing stuff like this today. Even Tee Bee is now producing mostly bangers, and they're hot shit, but they're not dripping with style like this track.

  • Photek = masterful production.

    The beats are so tight on this track. Way ahead of it's time, still sounds fresh today.

  • it all started when Jungle lost out to drum and Bass, that was the start of this pussy shiznacK they call drum and bass now...

    Who Gives a dick anyway, if you think that genera is missing something then make some beats, if you cant, then be grateful people who can DO !

  • A CLASSIC!!! never seen the video...SO FUCKING AWESOME!!!!

  • this takes me back to driving in the woods of WV, shadows all around, moon in the west sunrise in the east, many a revelation from this rythem

  • Hey, stop hating on Pendulum. If you think it's famous enough to kill the genre, it must be famous enough to keep it alive, by also appealing to certain people's commercial desires.

  • this is very personal music..its taking you into the mind of an assassin.....way ahead of its time...rockwell would be pleased if he did this.......very shogun audio.

    As for pendulum well....rock pop.

  • damn

  • Ni ten ichi Ryu - One school, two swords. The philosophy of two sword fighting developed by Musashi. He basically didn't understand why Samurai carried two swords but only used one in battle. So he developed the two sword fighting style in Japan.

  • "I killed the emperor's sword trainer with a boat oar...how have you been?"

  • never knew there was a video for this, and a damn good one too

  • truley insperational music. another of my fav 1998 DnB albums is John b visions, also ahead of its time. anyone who likes this should check it out

  • OOooh yeaaaa, excelent!!!!

  • ONE OF THE BEST SONG EVER CREATED BY A HUMAN BEING

  • @maelstrom1981 what about robots or aliens?

  • :s

  • The beat breaks.

  • f yeah...photek!!!, its been years but here i am listening to yuh once again thanks to the cat who took the time to upload it in. bomber-claad!

  • i find it hard to follow the beat. i guess i'm not 'intelligent' enough; despite loving all things aphex, autechre, squarepusher, venetian snares etc-esque.

  • Vááááóóóó

    

  • to those that clicked dislike, go listen to Pendulum!

  • @jason01865 Pendulum is fkcn awesome !>.<

    

  • @jason01865 yep how can anyone dislike photek up there with the best !

  • @jason01865

    Too true bro!

    D&B has become so 'normalised' (by the likes of pendulum and others) that dickheads don't know where it came from.

  • @jason01865 I HATE HIM!!!!

  • @jason01865 what the hell? Pendulums just AWESOME!

  • @JohntheCena nope, pendulum is killing the genre

  • @jason01865 WORDSS !!!

  • @jason01865 stupid child

    why cant listen to both ?

  • @HeloKityGirl COUSE PENDULUM SUCK!

  • @ciool oh i forgot you suck !

  • @jason01865 You say that as if they are not mainstream. I don't know about in you're country but over here in England Pendulum are massive you shouldn't need to tell somebody to listen to them.

  • @jason01865

    Or Aphrodite and Mickey Finn. Fucking jump-up kids.

  • @jason01865 fak i hate the quality of it.where is 480 up in here??

  • @jason01865 fak i hate the quality of it.where is 480 up in here??

  • @jason01865 Fuckin' A !

  • @jason01865 this is the real deal - not for Sunday DnB tourists : )

  • @jason01865 what about listening to both ? :D

  • An instant classic the day it was released :)

  • About the genre - don't judge the kid that hard because perception is really not between some well defined boundaries and it may be that he did not care about the committee that labeled it as Drum and Bass, just listen the song and watch the visual.

  • Catchy, loving it

  • i completely forgot about this track... such memories it brings to my pot hole-riddled brain! photek is the man

  • Blade.

  • Sends goosepimples down my arms and also shows my age - forgotten how much I loved raving to all this :) xx

  • Sends goosepimples down my arms and also shows my age - forgotten how much I loved raving to all this :) xx

  • everyone who's serious about being a warrior has to read musashi's book - the book of the five rings

  • @belisariusorb and the Hagakure ;)

  • @belisariusorb The book of 5 rings? I have it. :)

  • @KUROGUY Well worth studying in depth, pity he never made sketches of his moves though.

  • Ni Ten Ichi Ryu

    The Two Sword Technique

    Created by ancient Japanese hero MIYAMOTO MUSASHI...

  • @KronnangDunn Loving the history there attached to the title!

  • @Chantillace aye, two swords, one technique, but huge meaning behind those words alone!

  • @KronnangDunn 9 10 11 12 ??

  • @KronnangDunn umm, ni ten ichi ryu is actually: "two heavens as one sword" per 0:32

  • @KronnangDunn The writer of the book of five rings. Sick dude.

  • As a teenage drummer in the 90's, Photek turned me on my fucking ear and it started with this very track. "Modus Operandi" remains a revelation 15 years on. This is be-bop drummers jacked into laser guided precision. When drum n' bass was just jerking off the same Amen/boring 2-step rhythm, Rupert dropped it organic and it changed the game forever. I'm sad Parkes is just engineering and driving Ferraris now but he definitely deserves it.

  • This sounds so crisp... Got to love it. <3

  • For those that were there, we know Photek was a pioneer way ahead of his time. No need to argue with the younger crowd

  • @MrBioPuppet So true man.... born in 1980.... funny how my generation always thought the older people new what was up.... but some of the kids now don't have any respect... funny man... when I was 18 and I met a 30 year old DJ , I was like" oh man... whats up! tell me how it was back in the day, what tracks really stated it all...." Lets hope some of the kids realize how much they could learn from the old guys... peace....out!

  • always puts a smile on my face too :)

    pure class

  • jungle jungle sword slash bass kick photek legendary track

  • WUT KIND OF MUSIC IZ DIS U GUYZ? lol j/k

    I know what kind it is. Its awesome music. Who gives a shit about the labelers and their labels, appriciate whats good, kudos to who makes it, and spread the good word. Or sound as it were.

  • 0:49 :)

    This music makes me smile!

  • it sounds a little bit like aphex twin, doesn't it?

  • @philzlausable i think that's why i like this track so much. resembles drill n' bass more than drum and bass (to me).

  • @philzlausable if you wanted to get into it, "Ni Ten Ichi Ryu" has a publish date of 1997. RDJ had already done Hangable Auto Bulb in 1995 and the RDJ Album in 1996. But Richard was in breaks overdrive--nobody had done that yet except for Squarepusher. Photek had this minimalist discipline with his tracks--no accident that he invokes Samurai ethic. Search Aphex Twin "Inkey$"--same era, more different than same but hey, it's all great

  • it sounds a little bit like aphex twin, doesn't it?

  • first heard this on the end credits of the movie Blade. epic :-D

  • Oh the offbeat! bah-doom-doom-doom

  • 195,000 views, its not even the full fukin tune

    Look elsewhere guys.

  • Still genius!

  • the good ol days....bought it long ago on vinyl-------great video!!

  • what's the name of the movie?

  • thanks for the upload, its awesome !

  • Takes me back to some good times many years ago.

  • the track is classic but one thing doesn't really fit - ni ten ichi ryu is a dual wielding sword tactic where you use a short wakizashi sword and a katana while this samurai fights with just the katana

  • @renegadesnares The nito seiho is only a small part of Niten Ichi Ryu, albeit the most well-known part. The fundamentals of the school are actually handed down using a single sword held with two hands. Other weapons are taught as well, such as jitte and staff. :)

  • This is unreal

  • sounds like photek was workin two katanas and dicing up these sick beats with his samurai like precision in the studio. his music is unbeatable. big up Mr. Parkes

  • Thanks for this.

  • Wicked!

    

  • Timeless, perfect.

  • Always loved Photek.

  • now lets all say a prayer "AMEN breakz"

  • My 2 favorite things in the world. Breakbeats and Samurai culture... im in heaven for 4:36

  • @Brokenbeatman I'm also in your zone

  • Should hear it on alesis m1 active mk2 suburbandrone, not trying to be all oooh look at me or showey off, just things sound so much better on monitor speakers, can hear a pin drop.

  • amazing song and video!

  • levity.com/figment/

  • Soooo good!!

  • Photek, Fanu, Source Direct....all insanely great

  • da workzzz

  • this video is about mastering self, and facing your inner demons

  • Viva Musashi and Viva Photek

  • Photeks great, is one of the original dnb pioneers i do agree, but its the more technical intelligent drum and bass, it doesn't matter what it is its good, its just the subject was raised so thought I would give my opinion isn't that the whole point of comments lol. Doubt photek thought of their self as dnb or whatever just made music they loved.

  • Incredible the sound of the FX

  • LOVE THIS TRACK!!

  • Hands down my favorite Photek song. And now one of my favorite videos. Thanks.

  • IMO the best dnb tune ever. Proper ninja beats.

  • Wonder what movie the video is from.

  • fantastic video

  • this track is the definition of win

  • + this is a korrekt arragement !

  • One of the masters, that doesn't really need saying though does it? We already know that.

  • Prob one of the very first Dnb tracks ive EVER heard. maybe one of the first jungle/dnb tracks too?!?! :D

  • classic!!

  • released in march 97 actually :P

  • I bought the original Science 12" of this in 96.

  • I stand corrected then. Either way, it still holds up well to this day.

  • Took me some 10 years..now my life feels more complete..at least on the Drum n Bass side of things..

  • Next level, still.

  • What album is this from again ?? Photek man, #1..

  • its from the lp "modus operandi"

    its also on "risc vs. reward" and theres a teebee remix on "form & function vol2"

  • OMG !!! this is  sooooooooo

    amazing

  • wich god i don t know him---jajajaj... and you eiter

  • Ive heard a mash-up, i guess, of this and a warm place by NIN. Never knew this was it's own song.

  • you f folks dont get japan

  • the afx of dnb?

  • The Photek of DnB.

  • amazing tune- kind of sounds like minotaur, which is my other favourite photek track

  • loving this right know, samurai and japenese culture is the shit...

  • drum n bass like this, is like listen classic music ; exellent

  • i am suprised that it doesnt have more of a following, some of the best music i have ever heard...

  • Is it you that runs the committee that decided what genre music like this belongs in?

    Photek is one of the original pioneers of Drum and Bass - but then you are only 19 and wouldn't know that.

  • @172Break

    i'm on your side, this is DnB to the core, but it does have a fairly broken beat so justacidvideos argument has a wee bit of merit.
