Vibes & Wishdokta - Rave Is A Mystery - With Intro

For the first time since it began in 1991, the pioneering rave, drum & bass & jungle label, started by Danny Donnelly, Suburban Base has digitally re-mastered its entire back catalog and is making them available to download via iTunes.

Up until now, releases from the label, which shut its doors in 1997, only existed in vinyl format, but from February 23rd its back catalog has been re-mastered & can be bought from iTunes and extended to other digital music stores from March. This includes sought after releases from artist such as Son'z Of A Loop Da Loop Era, M&M, Rachel Wallace, Krome & Time, QBass, Jonny Jungle, DJ Hype, Cutty Ranks, Marvellous Cain, Remarc, Boogie Times Tribe & Mampi Swift.

In addition to the back catalog an album called Suburban Base Records - The History Of Hardcore, Jungle, Drum & Bass: 1991-1997 will be released on March 3rd. The compilation presents a snapshot of the original underground rave scene that ultimately crossed over into the charts and is ready to be rediscovered by the original ravers and uncovered by a new generation of fans.

Over three mixes it will take you on a chronological journey starting with Hardcore presenting rave classics Rachel Wallace - Tell Me Why (M&M Full Vocal), Krome & Time - This Sound Is For The Underground and cheeky Smart E's - Sesame's Treet (Vocal Mix). Mix two then moves on to the
Jungle era with gems from Phuture Assassins - Roots N Future (Make Dem Know Mix); QBass –Deepa and Hype tracks Dawn of the Fever, The Chopper and Dream. The final mix treats us to some legendary Drum and Bass tracks including Run Tings - Ruff Revival, Marvellous Cain - Dub Plate Style, Cutty Ranks – Limb By Limb (DJ SS Remix), D'Cruze – Lonely and
Mampi Swift - On The Beat.

The album is available as both as a DJ mixed cd release and also digitally. It will use the original graffiti artwork from Suburban Base’s in-house designer Dave Nodz.

Another Dream EP’ marks another flip up in style for this versatile artist, this time focussing on jungle and hardcore-influenced stylings. The EP opens with the tribal ‘Howler Monkey (Another Dream)’, a feverish and mystical stepper straight out of the Amazon, where Think breaks collide with tribal drums, booming sub bass and eerie chanting vocals.

Joint label owner and long-time friend Rome joins Moakz for his first release on the label ‘Cosmic Explosion’, flipping things into a different direction again, full of deep and dubby organic goodness, with rumbling reeces, brass stabs, strings and metallic tones keeping things rolling nicely.

The EP continues with ‘Back To The Earth’, with Moakz once again stepping things out with a deep vibe, as soulful vocals cry “Who’s To Blame?” whilst powerful drums criss-cross with technical malfunctions.

Things draw to a close with the post-hardcore vibes of ‘Gotta Take It Easy’, which mashes cinematic strings, haunting vocals, 303s, gorgeous rhodes, dubby bass and rolling breaks into an inventive closure to the EP.

Kniteforce OldSkool Breakbeat Hardcore Mix made entirely of stuff downloaded from kniteforcerevolution.com! Some time ago there was almost everything available to download for free.
It's 175bpm and (almost) strictly early 90's stuff!
BTW... PLAY IT LOUD!!!

P.S.: I also made a surround mix of this, but it didn't work out that well.

21 DJ FORCE & THE EVOLUTION - Perfect Dreams

Understand what is going on here ... This is 17 years ago, the scene is fair ground crazy, and every thing sounds like a lullaby a 6 year old would be singing in nursery ... I was not feeling them vibes at that moment in time, all we was doing was experimenting continually.

Also picture in your mind, this whole tune is literally a mistake. Every one was stoned in the studio and the Akai was playing up, and the bass sound is a malfunction because of this, but it sounded wicked. Deano the rapper, wasn't actually a rapper, he was a flyer designer ... Also put in your mind this was made in Austins shed, not a big studio.

The kicks, the arrangement, the break down, the FX ... Every thing about this tune was alien to any thing out there ... But it showed that you could have Hardcore anthems, that didn't follow any formula ... Long may producers keep pushing those boundaries in Rave.

Did this tune ruin the Happy vibe? Did it give Hardcore a new lease of life? Has it stood the test of time? Is it almost 2 decades ahead of Dub Core? ... Fuck know's, all I know is people still quote the lyrics to me, and ask for this tune!!

Time to let our Body Slam!!



Bang The Future - Body Slam

For the rest of the year, I'm giving away my entire catalog of music FREE. But it will only be limited to 100 FREE downloads per track.

ALL I ASK FOR A LIFE TIME OF MY WORK FOR FREE. IS YOU SHARE, COMMENT & LIKE. I WANT AS MANY PEOPLE TO EXPERIENCE THIS MUSIC AS POSSIBLE.

Download number 20!! ... my 1st ever release!!

Pretty simple really. I NEVER WANTED TO MAKE MUSIC. I had djayed for 5 years before I released this. I'd made a tune in 93, but we never released it (I will put that up at some point also).

Summer 94, I was having Pie & Mash over East Ham, and Ola the owner of Just Another Label recognized me. I was resident at Labrynth, the only Hardcore club in London as every where had gone D & B / Jungle. He invited me in to the studio with Matt Quim (AKA Opitikal). At 1st we made "Music is Moods", then I invited JDS in who were my fav producers at the time (And because I didnt have a FUCKING CLUE what I was doing). My friend Gem done the vocals to this. The white labels were promo'd in November 1994, and it was released January 1995, over the years with remixes it's sold 10's of 1000's of copies and been on countless albums. Including my gold selling "Hardcore Classics Album" .... And the rest as they say is "History".

Enjoy ... My 1st ever release!
