  • people say that this is what they call the first "DUBSTEP" song ever....

  • @jippiandy first jungle, not dubstep...

  • @TheCartman95 *kremt* yeah i agree on the first jungle... but why do people in the community call this the first dubstep song? i dont really get it either.... and lol dude... how can you correct something you dont know anything about?? i said that people call this the first dubstep song... it is called both, even if i agree or you agree or we dont...

  • @jippiandy people who say that this dubstep are wrong, dubstep emerged around 2000. and this song probably hasn't had even slightest influence on it. listen to the beat, this is jungle/dnb (because of the amen break), dubstep has different beat...:)

  • @TheCartman95 i agree x) except there are some dubstep i recently found from 1999 or 1998

  • @jippiandy i only meant a few*

  • @TheCartman95 exactly... time for history lessons.

  • @jippiandy Dubstep came from around 2000. This is from 1991. If anything this tune shows a garage influence which is where Dubstep comes from. NO MORE MISINFORMATION... This is jungle. Look up Ellis Dee, Swan-E, Tom & Jerry, Suburban Base, 2Bad Mice, the documentary "A London Sumting Dis" and so much more. Please, stop the madness... lol. for real.

  • Its changed the Rave scene but for me made it worse i liked all the Belgium and American sound that was dominating the Rave scene prior for 3 years, Jungle made things too fast and brought with it Attitude and the loss of Unity among Races.

  • lennie blood this tune was the best thing to happen to jungle music and i am still waitin for ur new tunes mate

  • no way pedro this is the right speed get to know kids

  • we are indo-european? we are information engineering? we are international language? we are internet explorer?

  • if you'd played 'snailstep' in 1991-1992.....we would have all shouted @ the dj....'oi mate.....i think you've got ya deck on @ the wrong f*ckin speed.....you got it on 33....be a good chap & wack it up to 45 plz....coz ive just this minute come up on a sly half.....& one is rushhhhhhhin his bally titz off!!!!! *gurns like a monkey* lol

  • im off to DREAMSCAPE in northampton tomoro night joining up & uniting with many originals as well as young'ens that have good taste & want to re-live that special life changing time.....this was THEE tune that done it for me in 92...i woz 18!!! Imo the blueprint for so many dance genres today......*im still 18@heart4ever!!!* amen brother ;)

  • @bludclone err... Jungle

  • @bludclone you fucking retarded? dubstep's about as old as the credit crunch, that is 3/4 years

  • @BelgianJungleSound I'm sorry a website said this was the first. and also dubstep is not as old as 4 years so you are the fucking retard

  • @bludclone what was the site out of interest? and Dubstep started morphing out in the garage scene in about 2002/2003

  • @djbazia cant remember. Dubstep is not garbage old man.

  • @bludclone Old man? im 18, and clearly know more about dubstep than you as you have to go on Wikipedia to claim to know dubstep, you obviously wasn't there in the day.

  • @djbazia fuck you i listen to old dubstep songs

  • @bludclone You read it, so it must be true? Dubstep may not be as young as 3/4 yrs old, but it was definitely not pre 2000 and it morphed from 2-step/UK Funky/Garage etc (look up Dooms Night Timo Maas Remix by Azzido Da Bass). This is completely different to dubstep even if it does sound similar

  • @BelgianJungleSound actually dubstep started in 1999.

  • @bludclone show me a dubstep song from 1999

  • @BelgianJungleSound dw its just wikipedia being wikipedia its actually from 2000

  • @bludclone sounds pretty iffy

  • @BelgianJungleSound what does

  • @bludclone the date

  • @BelgianJungleSound the date is correct man

  • @bludclone "The term "dubstep" in reference to a genre of music began to be used by around 2002". All the dubstep before that was just experimental 2-step garage mixes of tunes. "Dubstep started to spread beyond small local scenes in late 2005 and early 2006". I would call that the starting point of dubstep as an actual full fledged genre.

  • up and coming dl's looking to mix jungle oldschool take note at the right speed this is played at

  • never thought I would, but I heard this in a club here in austin recently and literally lost it. So simple but so powerful

  • @deice1 Didn't know this tune went back as far as 1988. I've got it stored on my computer in a directory called "Absolute Incredible Faves". Thanks for the history.

  • This one takes me back, thanks!

  • absolutely classic. I remember this at Weekend world in Milton Keynes in 1991, is the tune that really made an impact on me. Legendary!! and I still got it on vinyl!!

  • Takes me right back to GASS .... those Sunday/Mondays were awesome

  • out too early 90.s wat an era..

  • The beginning is sick, always puts me in a relaxing mood.

  • wow mate im 35 to, done the same on my way to school, its madness how time flys, this is orignal jungle.

  • My Name Is Lennie

  • WE ARE INTERNET EXPLORER!!!

  • If you cant remember this, you aint old enough!!!!

  • @choppageworshipper aint old enough to what? to listen to this? to enjoy this? to like hardcore/jungle??? ill make sure that from now on i listen to tunes made only in my lifetime

  • How a classic is this! 

  • Needs to be +8 though. ;0)

  • @robsta974 is this track slowed down?

  • The track that brought me to Hardcore, then Jungle & Drum & Bass

  • and I still got mine any offers lol

  • An all out classic tune,you couldnt call yourself a Dj back in the day if you didnt have this on a 12

  • @tafff7 I TOTALLY AGREE.... :-)

  • it's so old that i can't remember this oldschool

  • Didnt Nigel Benn use this as his walk-on music before his fights?!

  • im sure reel 2 reel had something to do with this tune....big up john....

  • sounds like we know a lot of the same people then and went to the same clubs! My ex DJed at Bagleys for many years so i went there every Saturday night after Astoria went down hill. Used to go Rocket and Vivid as well, but Camden Palace orange Fridays were always the best. I knew DMS Dave very well and Floyd Dice from Production House Crew. i used to make clothes for them all. What wonderful times!

  • @EB1050482 U know the score :) can never bring back the old crew, moondance? bollocks........... we know the proper ravers. Ah mate Astoria RESPECT :D XXXXXX

  • @EB1050482 yeah i knew dave dms too and all the orange crew.. rocket club... also chris paul... hype.. randal... john seduction... those were the days... i used ti work in a record shop called music power in ilford and haringey.... used to play at bass box too.... ah the good old days... big up goldie the original time stretcher.... who remembers the song terminator??  rip dj chemistry....

  • WHOYYYYY

    CHA!!!!

  • remember this one like it was yesterday,but i cant seem to remember what i did yesterday......weird

  • totally badass, but what does 'we are i.e' even mean?

  • @Bilson1966

    in effect

  • @Bilson1966

    It sounds like We Are IE (or We Are E, which makes more sense), but actually that vocal sample is in Arabic; it's taken from N'Sel Fik, a Raï track that had seen some success in the eighties. This song and genre had nothing to do with anything that was going on in Britain at the time, but still Lennie was able to extract just the right part and build a storming track around it.

  • @renzer125 thanks for the insight. It's printed i e on my white label i bought in 91 and i still have got it! Love it. x

  • @EB1050482 Remember going black market, unity and crystal to get my records. I knew loads of the DJ's (Clarkie, Brockie, Slipmatt, Squirell, Hype, DMS, Ray Keith, Nicky Blackmarket and Hype) I used to get so many white labels (lucky) also know Rapp :D all changed and it will never be the same, thank fuck still have the memories of orange at camden, rocket, bagleys, busbys, lazerdrome, raindance, moon dance, dreamscape, spiral tribe (on a bad day). Remember raving may it never be forgotten x

  • @renzer125 - Well interesting about the sample. It's puzzled me for the past 20 years where Lennie got it from. It always sounded like "we are E" instead of 'i.e' to me (as you say, would make more sense considering how massive ecstasy was back in the day!). But there's no doubting the importance of this bad boy tune. Still as massive now as it was 20 years ago.

  • @gefnanroolz

    still as massive as 20 years ago ... i second that my man !

  • @renzer125 - Interesting man, didn't know that as I know it from the Bomb the Bass album where it's in a radio excerpt and where I assume it had been sampled from. The same album has radio scanning/tuning which has been sampled everywhere but could equally be from some BBC sound effects record. Nerding out a bit but I'm a sample fool! Lennie - if you're watching (and are you Mickey Finn?) can you clear this up for me?

  • @Supajinks - he's clearly not Mickey Finn - god knows where I got that. I sometimes forget you can find all these answers on the web somewhere, 20 years ago rumour was the way...

  • epic masterpiece to be remembered foreva...big up yourselves.....!!!

  • This music makes me wanna rave :D

  • Bigness... In 1 word just about covers it

  • Fantastic tune but everyones banging on about it being the seminal Dnb track, radio Babylon was out before this, have a listen to that. That was seminal, this was a very good follow up but meat beat manifesto were doing it first.

  • @bradymashups but this is proberlly the better tune

  • @bradymashups you know what mate,you may well be right bout seminal an tings.But being there on the night,you wernt thinking about trends,well maybe,in fact no fukin wayz!!!but,you just wanted the music to grab ya,by the bollckz and never let go and,you know what it never did!!!!!So mate,don't over analyse it,just let it get ya. Love n peace na man.No disrespect geez x

  • @bradymashups - 'burning with ecstasy'! Used to leap around to that our regular - Rage at Heaven

  • eternal music

  • oooohhh yeaaaa... boy u know that sure hits the spot. Yeaaa... thats niiice.

  • trollied to this many a time oi to the funkin oi

  • i had just turned 20 when this came out, and yes, i was having the time of my life :D

  • AHH the summer of 91 Carl Cox,Fabio,Grooverider and JJfrost, it was amazing reminds me of very happy but slightly hazy teenage years

  • AHH the summer of 91 Carl Cox,Fabio,Grooverider and JJfrost, it was amazing reminds me of very happy but slightly hazy teenage years

  • i was born too late, bitches!

  • 1990 bizznizz

  • If this came out in 91 then i was just 2 when it dropped but I recken im the only junglist in America these days. I deff try to stay loyal and turn others on to the sound. Feckin DJ's here have no clue what im saying when i tell them to drop some jungle. So im fetching my own tables so i can get some gigs and teach these people a thing or two about dance music.

  • Seminal rave tune. Just perfect. Imagine dropping this in a 'club' these days...the spotty little fuckers wouldn't know what hit em!!

  • @gefnanroolz no, but you and me would get down

  • @gefnanroolz

    haha :D

  • @gefnanroolz lol we were spotty little fuckers back in 1991 and we didn't know what hit us back then either!!!!

    fucking mad, mad, mad times. the best.

  • @iloveesr hahahaha!! True, that! But we were much better dancers!!

  • 20 yrs on and still sounds the bollocks ... would be in my top 10!!

  • trade at turnmills with the bouncy floor AVE IT lennie i aint got the words to describe whAT THIS tune done to me all i can say is thanks was it only ever a white label im glad its not had the arse rinsed out of it by radio

  • mate...if u werent ther when this shit hit ..then ,,,,,alll i can say is....unlucky...a truly defining moment in modern culture, everything after this was just weak...

  • no doubt about it, a proper fucking tune, the ragga twins probably had more to do with the early jungle sound though i reckon. just an opinion, either way they were great days for an exciting new sound, fuck i miss 'em!!!

  • wow..havent heard this in years.....rocked then and rocks now!

  • Camden Palace 1990.

  • Oh mumma....I think I've had a flashback!! lol ;)

  • This was defo the tune that started the Jungle and DnB revoution, summer 1991. I have my copy on vinyl and will always treasure it, it always always took the roof off when it finally kicks in with the beat.

    ITS A CLASSIC, NUFF SAID

  • NEVER GET BORED OF IT, BRING BACK THEM DAYS :D

  • I've just got to say thank you all that have made comments about this track.I originally Produce this tune in 1988 in my Brother's in East London, In making this track was a message.! That we didn't need big,expensive studios to make tunez, Just the idea was needed

    1st played on Pirate Station RAVE.FM early morning afterparty session with Timmi Magic, Dj Le Rouge,Rock & Vibes & released later on 1990 1st DJ to Play this tune was Dj Randall @ Living Dream(Eastway )

  • @deice1maximum respect mate my fav choon of all time even though i would of only been 5 when it was released lol

  • @deice1 - Lennie, a MASSIVE big up for creating this bad asssssssss track. Seminal. First heard it on a treasured Stu Allen and Easygroove set, recorded at Amnesia House in 1991. I was surprised to see it wasn't the main track on your release either- rather, it was the 2nd track in. Stunning. The power of the tune remains undiminished. I'm in the process of making a doc about the UK rave scene, and was wondering if you'd care to grant me an interview? Thanks.

  • @deice1

    Lenny you set the pace bro. I was born in '85.. Got into Jungle when I was about 9 thanks to my dad buying me records and a few mates who had older brothers who raved and got tape packs. Remember One in the Jungle, Mark Tonderai...Massive Records in Oxford, recordbags, Spliff, Eclipse, British Knights and most of all the beats! As far as I'm concerned man line you set the blueprint. Big up the Jungle/Garage crew everytime, and all British electronic musicians!

  • @deice1 this a dangeros 80's techno classic

  • Comment removed

  • @deice1 respect luv this tune i'm making house in the bedroom trying to get it soundin pro is hard. my name is paulkilley check me out on my space

    

  • @phrophet042080 Big-up..We've all got 2 start somewher once yr in digital domain it is pro sounding unless yr using outboards, if yr using 1 software to make yr tune such as reason/ fruity loops etc. i recommend that you transfer the track as audio parts in Cubase/Logic etc.. to arr & fine tweak tracks/arr. + the Fx work better that gives u more choices & the mix will sound better

    What i was using less equipment.,1988

    I'll post pic on my page sum of the bit i've still got

  • So influential!

    Sounds as good as ever nearly 20 years on.

  • FUÇK ME WHAT A TUNE

  • thanx for upload mAn

  • Remember too.. Good times at school..

  • I remember raving to this and kept on askin for the rewind... best tune ever... this was probablt the early jungle from 91 hen it begain to cross over with the heavy beat

  • Damn i wish i was there from the beginning!

  • ruff intro...........

  • just such a ruff tune

  • what a timeless classic goosebumps and sweet memorys

  • i first heard this at the 1969 hyde park concert by rolling stone yeah there was some black bloke doing mental dancing , hes name was eddy and hes said let me hear u scream

  • fukin ell mate im 13 and i never new dis tune came out then

  • yeah it was a totally mad time ,, proper mental girls used to walk around naked we used to smoke spliffs just crazy and the 1969 stones concert at hyde park was good but like i say this black bloke dancing and shouting when they played this fucking mental!!!

  • lol !!!! ha ha

  • back then the spliffs where amazing just one spliff a day was all any one needed and when you had a spliff and played this tune !!! well i wouldnt advise doing by yourself coz u get this mental sensation in your mouth and you do this dance where your feet are as far apart as can be and your arms go round in a helicopter motion ,, yeah its all a bit mental

  • ants. 007 is shitting you, this was the first hardcore tune-1991.

  • Fuckin classic! This is where the jungle revolution started ;)

  • anyone know the jungle version of this

  • there is an asides version on eastside...o6ish?

  • Top TUNE. We Were i.EEEEEEE. Those days are gone. Still, it is nice to remember the good old days when Ravers were nice to one another, E's were E's and everyone had a good time.

  • True but we can always revive that feeling!! It never really died, it just went underground when it all got a bit crazy and split into two sections.

    Were busy reviving that same vibe here in Wales and it seems to be workin so far! :) Bringing back that late 80's vibe of leaving the ego's at home and mixing it with todays choons (a few old scattered about too) is what it's all about!! Letting this generation feel a little of what we had back then.

    So far theyr lovin it!! :)

  • TOP ONE-Good on you for trying to revive the vibe but somehow i do not think the youth of today have the same mindset we had back then. (Peace, love and unity mixed with dance,stamina and abandon).

    I would love to be able to go back and revisit those times but that is never going to happen so i will just think back on my many HAPPY MEMORIES.

    I wish you good luck in your endeavours and i sincerely hope it works. Todays generation need something to enjoy without the nanny state judging.

  • 24 carrot gold =)

  • Great tune. Brilliant drop. Thanks for uploading this one. Good work squire!

  • This song should be played at high volume...preferably in a residential area!
