Symphony Sound knocked out plenty of big tunes in its brief existence. I know Nookie had some involvement there somewhere but not totally sure how much. If this tune didn’t have at least a fair bit of help from him then I’ll eat my hat.
Big tune hidden away on the flipside of DJ Hype’s very well known Roll The Beats. I’m a bit bored of that one so usually flip the 12″ over for this little beauty.
Big jump up tune from around ’97. This one used to get battered on the pirates. Pretty piss poor on the production and super simple but the intro rules and the drop always gets people one foot skanking. Love this era and style of jungle, purely for the dancefloor, just good vibes.
I just grabbed this today and it’s wicked. Bladerunner seems to be one of a few guys who are churning out d&b with a heavy influence from the mid-90s jungle & Bristol style jump up sounds. I am/was a huge fan of that kinda thing and some of the tunes I’ve heard recently have been pretty good. The forthcoming “Back to the Jungle” on Critical is a banger. Listen to that here…
