I also love my old skool mostly between the years of 1991 to 1998,My first 12" record i ever bought was rebel mc and double trouble with a track called (street tuff) back in summer 1989 ,it was a hip house tune ,Witch when i look back now it was really the very biginnings of early jungle dnb ,The first tunes i can remember that i would class as early "jungle" when i look back was probably the ragga twinns (homeless problem) and rum and black (wicked) witch were both out some time in summer 1991,And of course lenny d ice ( we are i,E) you can not beat that heavy bass line and wicked sample that when played even to day can make you want to get down low and do the one foot skank,OH And also the 1991 tunes (The bouncer) By kick like a mule,And the classic early jungle techno tune (pump up the sound) by Flex and on the flip side a tune by DJ A sides called (Expressions),OH and who can for get noise factory's "(The buzz) What a classic tune,but if i had the time i could think of lots and lots ,Any way the first two tunes i can remember actually refering to them as "jungle techno",and not hardcore witch i have lots of arguments about with people because some younger ravers say the term jungle was not being said untill around the summer of 1993 witch i think is a real joke and shows me they were not around in the early 90s or they just do not have a clue because like i say the first two tracks i was calling "jungle tech" was the massive tune by "A guy called gerald" ( 28 gun badboy) witch first came out on a dubplate around autumn 1991 and later general release around spring 1992, The other was by c.m.c called (jungle fever) witch came out in early 1992 on the b side of a track on limited E records ,a good label at the time, any way Both tracks i thought at the time was not hardcore but jungle techno witch i can remember being said by mcs such as mc mad p (patrick) ,mc lenni,bassman,moose,manparis and robbie dee all around the summer of 1991 . I started to get properly into the scene around the start of 1991 where it all began for me as a young 15 year old dedicated jungle raver ,Because be for that in the late 80s i only really liked hip hop such as N.W.A and later ice cube,easy e ,mc ren and dr dre who where just as good when they split also artists like big daddy kane, black sheep and public enemy i did like hip house records like rebel mc,jungle brothers ,silver bullet ,fast eddie and the cult jam i never really got into the house ,garage ,acid house and european techno that a lot of djs were playing at this time i think i thought the early rave scene between 87 to 90 had a hippy vibe,but when they started useing more hip hop ,ragga samples,bass and breakbeats on more of the records in the early 1991 rave scene i took more notice ,it was labels like shut up and dance ,ibiza recs and suburban bass recs that were doing it ,And when i heard the ragga twinns tracks and mc's like Bassman,moose,lenni and mad p i new it was not for hippies and it was deffo for me,Then i heard djs like fabio,grooverider,ratty,dj seducution,dj ss,doc scott,easygroove,keith suckling,topbuzz,dj sy,dj hype,ellis dee,kenny ken,nookie,pilgrim,carl cox,dj trace,dj die,bryan g,ned ryder, dj ron ,badboy t ,food junkie ,phantasy ,darren jay ,ray keith ,swanne,mastersafe and of course my favorite djs of all time jumping jack frost,ltj bukem,randall and micky finn ,Well by now i was in love with the scene but i was a bit to young to go to a rave at the time,But in dec 1992 i went to my first ,I was 16 by that time,And yes i was deffinitely a junglist by then ,My first event was a nye fantazia rave some were in berkshire there was all most 20,000 ravers there in a field witch had 3 massive big top tents all with 100k sound systems in,I can remember it as if it was just last week,And the fisrt dj and mc's i ever heard live when we got into the main arena/tent were dj phantasy with mc's ribzz and scally wag,I had been into the scene for nearly two years befor i went to my first rave so the dj's and mc's were like mega stars to me at the time so i was proper buzzing ,And i was very young as well for my first rave,It was a wicked night that i will never for get          ...........................................................................................................................................                 Well that was my first Rave  ,And now 20 years later in 2012 i am still very much going to them, Ok May be no were near as much as i did between 1992 to 2002, But i still go out when i can and in the last few years since around 2008 i took djing more serious,Ok i started to dj late in life being that i have been into the scene for so long but thats life ,and i did take to it fast and now get to play out at events at least a couple of times a month  ,Witch means i have started going out a lot more now,The big difference now is I just dont get off my face any more to me its not about that any more, for me its 100% about the music ,but hay liston you do what you do its all bless . . . . .So id like to big up all old skool and new skool raver all true dnb heads and all the original junglists over the last 21 years , ojs stay real  ........ big props to The Sons.Of.Jacob   ....... raiders of the oldskool  ... www.raidersradio.co.uk/ ...Jungle spectrum ......  liquid sessions ......fizzy beats ... . differrentdrumz radio  ..... atomic vibes radio ..... odyssey crew...... distinct fm  ... origin fm ...  .kool london radio..... bassdrive radio ...... .....and a massive shout out ,blessings and big up to -- miss eve - - pure t - - dj dash dee ... markuz darkuz - - mr botty - - lu lu - - jacks - - pmx - - andy f -- - wayne f - -  matty e  - - soulculture - -madcap - - soultec -- - - jo jo - -dj nitro -- dj fridd - - dj cyte - - robski - - dj cautious - - dj j p - - - tim ryan - - prosper - - grafix - - scenic - - advisory - - glt - - tim osg - -  nick sellers - - frequincee - - mark lofty - - jinx - - benny colab  - - spartan crew  - - pepper s.o .j ... mc stixman - - - mc brasko - - mc major ranks - - mc razor - - mc mr dee - - - mc manikular - -  - mc h2flo - - mc banshco - - mc brink - - mc pm - - and the s.o.j badboy him self mc ranger t ... lets keep this ting called Jungle Alive till the end of time ,it can be done ,trust . ....................................
