This tape was put together around October 2000 (I think). It contains a
lot of the anthems of 2000, and also some lesser-known but worthy material all mixed and
mashed together. Drum'n'bass moves fast, but this tape is a testament to where it was at
at the time.
side a
- Autokarma - Klute
This
creepy roller kicks off the tape on a smooth yet sinister vibe. Check the Klute album
"Fear of People" on Cert 18 records.
- ? - ?
This is a white.
Percussive with a funky bassline.
- It Ain't Hard To Tell (Acapella) - Nas
This rap comes from a single from Nas' first, and only good, album.
- Nightvision - J Majik
This
comes from the Nightvision collection on J's own Infrared records.
- Airforce - Aquasky
Aquasky's
first real tech tune. A solid effort on the double zero label.
- Show Me - Supply & Demand
This
is from Chronic 14. A bubbling, hard bassline underpins smooth vox.
- Detroit Blues (Moving Fusion mix) - DJ Reality
This is wicked. A Detroit-style electro-influenced burner given the
Moving Fusion treatment. Available on Armaggedon 2, Renegade Hardware.
- Move - Ryme Tyme
The V.I.P of
this tune was so tight his mates begged him to release the original. A grinder with a
vocal compelling you to move.
- Embargo - Total Science
Love
this tune. Total Science go for crazed clattering breaks and ragga samples. Sweet.
- Star Trails - Kemal & Rob Data
This is the usual M.O. for the Audio Blueprint label. A smooth yet funky
tech tune.
side b
- Hangman - Moving Fusion and Shimon
Coming from Ram Raiders Vol I, this is a blazing, funky-as-hell piece of
hardcore Ram bizness.
- Dubplate (Total Science Remix) - Wot's My Code
Total Science remix a hardcore standard. It just goes insane, basically.
- Bombin' - X-men
Another tune
from the double zero label. Interesting percussion and a juicy funk bassline do indeed
make this bombin'.
- Break Ya Neck - Krust
Crazy
analogue sounds and a cracking break make this a wub-wub-wub-wub classic.
- Tumpa (Flashback) - )E|B(
We
used to go insane hearing this intro while it was on dubplate. Good times...
- Be With You - Codename John
Aka
Grooverider. Brings together some disparate elements that you wouldn't think would work,
but they do. Gong...
- Jittabug - Die
Heh heh heh.
Who thought three notes could be so damn good? Die of course a Full Cycle/ Reprazent
stalwart, has an ear for simple but great riffs.
- Champion Sound (Total Science mix) - Q Project
Oh, my god. The tune of 2000, no question. Check Total Science's
"Advance" album for this and other great tunes.
- Lords Of Motion - Aquasky
First
release on Aquasky's new Sonix label. Driving and oddly uplifting, a damn cool tune.
- Can't Punish Me - Dom & Roland
Dom & Roland take advantage of the hardcore trend to make an evil,
evil bassline work with a crazy masochistic vocal. Nice.
