Well, this is the fifth release I have so far done with Mr. Majestic aka the don papa Ellis Dee. And I know this won’t be the last either! This guy has been at the forefront of the rave scene since its inception and is still out there (covid aside) plying his skills to new generations. And as a bit of an Ellis Dee fanboy from when I was just a teenager, its always is and will always be an honour to work with him and to give his awesome tunes from back in the day the opportunity to shine again on the format that made them what they are; vinyl.

But what the hell do we talk about this time? I mean, we have covered so much of his history in previous interviews, charting his rise to success, and his nimble ability to travel through genres, keeping himself at the forefront of up and coming scenes. I mean, when myself and Roy finally met, it was at a breaks gig in 2003 and he was creating some proper bangers within that genre! But for this interview, we are covering the era when Roy was stamping his place within the jungle and early drum and bass scene. His transition from the old skool was via his alias Norty But Nice (repressed recently on Vinyl Fanatiks) which brought his upbeat rave vibes and blended them with the jungle riddims that were blowing up around London, especially around this birth place in the east of the city.

This release wasn’t his first foray into the jungle scene proper, that came via his White House release ‘One For The Ladies/You Got To Believe’ in early 1994 alongside the original release of ‘Big Up Your Chest’, which was a successful  tune for him at the start of the year. He wanted to give that tune a relick and to add another ragga vibed track on the flipside, as Roy recalls “’Big Up’ was a popular tune for me back then, one I use to play often in my sets. The release did really well, so I just thought I should capitilise upon that sound and add something else on the flipside that had a similar vibe. I’ve always tried to produce stuff that was a bit different to what other people were playing. I always thought about my DJ sets when I made tunes. I wasn’t thinking about the other producers when I made music. I was thinking of other DJ’s and how I could stand out against the competition”.

Setting fire to dancefloors with chopped breaks, deadly deep subs, soundclash mentality and pure euphoria. 

FFF started "djing" on 2 turntables (without pitch control) early 90s. Mixing mainly rave, techno and the sparse UK breakbeat hardcore imports that arrived at his local record shops. 
First steps into making music: combining sounds from vinyl mixed with tapeloops, sounds from his sisters keyboard and a lot of feedback. Things changed big time when his parents bought a PC and his friends turned him onto tracker software. 

Mid 90s he started the cassette label "Orange Socks" on which he released his own material plus music from his friends and artists he met through tapetrading. He released his first track on vinyl in 2001 (on the French Necromaniacs Industry label) and from then on kept releasing on  a wide range of labels (Planet Mu, Kool.Pop, Murder Channel, Prspct RVLT, Hong Kong Violence, Mindbender, Sozialistischer Plattenbau, Sprengstoff, Clash, K-produktions, Sonic Beligeranza, Ketacore, Encounters, Artcore, Dub Attack, Zero71) His first full length album "20.000 Hardcore Members Can't Be Wrong" was released on the Japanese Murder Channel Label in 2011. And the follow up "Keep The Fire" in 2013.

In 2001 Bong-Ra & FFF organized the Breakcore a GoGo parties. These became one of the first regular Breakcore nights in Europe. When BCGG ended in 2004, FFF continued to promote breakcore & Jungle on the monthly Wreck havoc nights which never officially stopped and still pop up once in a while. 

FFF is an obsessive vinyl collector. A trip to the record shop, flea market, thrift stores, record fair and the element of surprise that comes with crate digging are most of the times the basic inspiration for a new track. 

Live you can expect amen warfare, hoovers, rave horns and tropical vibes with elements of jungle, rave, bubbling, dancehall and gabber.

"..blends my favorite styles of dancefloor music with ease and efficiency - ravecore at it's very best!"  - Parasite
