… it is one of my all-time favourites. In 1999 when I was looking desperately for the music and when I was weak in my faith in the breaks and bass. At the time when I was questioning the absolute truth. I asked everyone I knew, they’re (the breaks and bass) where no were to… Continue reading This Is Not Drum’n’Bass

Nevermind The Chatty Chat, This Is Still Drum’n’Bass
If you would happen to be in any way interested in what in the name of Gaia keeps an old man rambling on about the good old days of drum’n’bass? There’s an outstanding Metalheadz’ mix (selection wise that is, because two decades of wishing MC:s to just stop making vocal noises hasn’t ended I’m afraid)… Continue reading Nevermind The Chatty Chat, This Is Still Drum’n’Bass
Doc Scott Once Told Me
– What about the future, the pace, will it last? – Drum’n’Bass will never Die. Don’t worry mate. That was a very long, long, long time ago. Troubled times, another of the greatest is lost: DJ Randall. Unbelievable loss. …we all need to look FWD. Metalheadz is turning 30! Celebrate the music. Future Jazz!
Proper Jungle
Oh, it was terrible. It was like a jungle. It’s never been like that before but, it was. It was a proper jungle. It was a proper jungle. So… I guess not drum’n’bass then…? Ref.: Neighbours transform 94-year-old’s ‘jungle’ garden; BBC.
Into/From The Subway
The entrance was (it still is) inside the subway station. People came from two directions; either from the street or from inside the subway. The cue did reach the subway station hall thru the doors to the actual station (one photo missing) at times. – Noooo way! Honest. Coming downstairs (from the south) and up… Continue reading Into/From The Subway
Instant Rwd!
The… f i r e ! This must be one of the best drum’n’bass tracks ever produced: Burn Bright by: Dom & Roland. D + R destroying it, as per usual. The stab, the compression (sucking out all the breathable air), the furious breaks and the gnarly/growling bass-line. Is it going to attack me? The… Continue reading Instant Rwd!
History Lost / Playlist Inferno
It is infuriating, depressing and quite pointless. The concept or the factual album does not exist any more. This is not the first time it happens. I’ve listened to this particular “album” many, many times and in is entirety – that’s not true in an absolute sense, because I don’t like them all as much,… Continue reading History Lost / Playlist Inferno
Do Have It And Did Play It
That is some odd 20 years ago. Progression. I was sad at the time (musically) and I was looking desperately, everywhere and anywhere. Drum’n’bass was dying or dead. When was this 2000 – 2001? A long time ago. The most progressive musical direction since the Jazz Masters was at and end not played like that.… Continue reading Do Have It And Did Play It
Roel Funcken, Burient EP [Funck’d – none, 2022]
Still pushing the envelope/boundaries (it’s not the same vibe/thing using presets as actually being the originator of a sound. And he; Roel Funcken is one of the originators of that sound make no mistake.). Bridging genres and time, and still keeping an undeniable unique sound. Roel Funcken would summarise all of that and then some.… Continue reading Roel Funcken, Burient EP [Funck’d – none, 2022]
Svart Kaffe
It was a small café: called Svart Kaffe (it literally means Black Coffee). It was the business for coffee and sandwiches, it was the drum’n’bass central coffee shop in Stockholm, Sweden. My personal favourite lasted for hours… – Do you take milk? – No, thank you. It’s got to be black. ATM ©1998
