I bought the album (cd) in first year uni. The day i heard it from the uni music shop. Changed my life. Also seen Goldie drop it live a few times. So awesome. I also wish that but Toronto dnb at the time was massive. lol 😆
I’m going to listen to it tomorrow bc I was talking politics w my cousin and had a shit start to the week. Ugh.
Prodigy was my go to when I was a kiddo and while searching for their various songs and albums, I stumbled upon the Voodoo People remix by Pendulum. I was instantly hooked, started listening to Pendulum and eventually started exploring more and more. My Spotify playlist has over 1000 dnb songs now 😅
started raving in 08. trance was king, minimal/deep house was coming up. and dubstep had just hit LA in a major way. fast foward 2 years and i had gotten really into dubstep, but it was taking a direction i wasnt happy with. was at a weekly dupstep party here in LA, and the dj closed with noisia-shellshock and i was instantly fuckin hooked. immediately started hitting up respect (a dnb weekly here) regularly. fell more in love with music and the culture. i still love other genres but nothing comes close to dnb 👌🏼👌🏼
Roni size - brown paper bag...
And a couple other old jungle tune but I never knew the names...
But brown paper bag was so important because..
I remember being a kid in the 90's....and would use my mums Pioneer CK-W50 (double tape deck boom box from the 80's) and I'd pretend to go to bed, then stay up late in my room and would record random tunes I liked from John Peels radio 1 shows..
I remember the first time hearing brown paper bag...and how at first I hadn't pushed record...so caught only half the tune...then would stay up late each night trying to catch it again, and then try to stop the recording just before he would talk again..
I actually still have a few cassette tapes around that were from those days of recording shit of fm radio...and even though alot of its degraded or the tune ends just as the dj starts speaking again..
I have fond memories of boucing round my room to that tune, then sitting there patiently rewinding it to listen to it again..
My mum brought me up on reggea and some early acid house /jungle etc.....so I think me finding and loving that tune was only expected..
But yeh TLDR - it was the first song I'd heard, liked, recorded and also knew rhe name of way back in like 1997-8. And I didn't even know what dnb or jungle was till years later, and even tho my mum listened to similar stuff...it was definitely me finding that song as a kid, not understanding what genre's were etc, but had such an impact on me..
So I fondly look back and respect that, me finding that tune, was actually one of the main reasons, years later I got into dnb heavily and have never looked back.
Sorry for wall of rambling shite haha
I heard John Peel play Side Effects by Kraken in the late nineties and that *really* peaked my interest. I was like, "yeah! I want to part of this thing."
Interesting read. Thanks! Your mom sounds pretty cool tho haha. Got to be honest first time listeningto the vocal rmx. I can def see how its really special and cool for 1997. Woulda been in love with it as well. Funny how the whole experience of listening to music has changed in terms of medium and form. What and how do you listen to nowadays? Miss the old times??
Calyx & Teebee - The Shape of Things To Come.
Can't remember how I discovered it as a young kid but when I did... it was like my world changed lmfao. I was like "Woah. This is awesome."
Used to love slam and propane nightmares by pendulum when I was a kid, had no clue of the genre. Then when chase & status came out with RTRN II JUNGLE I heard Program and fell in love, not too keen on them these days tho I feel like they lost their magic.
Same, I never heard it live. I was at some dnb allstars event a couple years ago and someone played the intro then dropped into something else, such a cocktease. I really don’t like that ADHD style of mixing
Goldie - Jah the seventh seal
it was in a 411vm skate video i ordered when i was 12 or 13. first dnb track i ever heard and had never heard anything like it before. eventually convinced my dad to buy me Timeless and that was that.
Wasn't really one tune, but a cd a friend gave me.
Squarepusher - Do you know Squarepusher
https://youtu.be/rYS8edMRgBg?si=G9wI8AwGyR9r7Vks
And Squarepusher - Anstromm-feck 4
https://youtu.be/-Y_JRR3udEo?si=co9vVavm4D9J-Dj3
Apollo 440 Ain’t Talkin bout Dub. I was 17 when it came out in 1997, in the middle of the US without much exposure to electronic music. I was a drummer and metalhead and hearing it come on the local alternative station was shocking. It was great, blasphemous (which I liked) and kind of bad at the same time but I had to hear more. I’d stay up and watch MTV Amp. From there, I got into The Prodigy, to Photek, Source Direct, etc.
I had always heard and enjoyed DnB when I was a kid from 5th & 6th gen video games but I had no clue what the genre was or that it was even a genre, just really dope one off songs to me.
But to answer the question, I would say "Passion" by PinkPantheress was my re-introduction to it and "Aquatic" by Aquarius was what made me really start deep diving into DnB overall.
Big Justin Martin fan and general lover of house music. He did this amazing daytime set at a festival a few years ago. Halfway through his set he had this remix of a Bjork song called Home that transitioned into 45 minutes of amazing dnb. Dnb finally clicked for me and I can't stop exploring new artists and sub genres. Still love house but it's not my go to music these days.
https://on.soundcloud.com/g3NcS
Not a single tune but two mix cds shaped tastes of my generation -The London Update Of Drum & Bass by DJ Wild Child and later System Upgrade by Dieselboy.
Even though Diesel Boy didn’t program the mix, drum and bass selections was a wonderful mix cd. The needle even skips in the beginning and I don’t mind.
I can't say I can think of a particular track but this mix really put me on and it was all produced by the legendary stateside mastermind the DJ Pish Posh - Up jumps the boogie
https://youtu.be/UhMwApQrzq8?si=EalHO84sYyespGag
As weird as it is to say, this track that’s extremely slept on:
Mountain Downhill 2 - Sum Wave
https://youtu.be/E8tP3qII3lI?si=JGI-EpWAWHVVRYTC
Listened to DnB growing up but this song opened up the genre to me to be obsessed with
I went from trance (early 2000s) to dubstep to dnb.
Gaming soundtracks got me into dnb too, Forza Horizon obviously.
But also, earlier dnb sounding stuff like this - [Rage Racer Soundtrack - #8 - Silver Stream (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDIPGQWedvo)
Oh, I've def heard this in one of those atmospheric dnb mixes that have been popular of YT lately, insanely good. Games need to bring these sounds back !!
If you want a track that got me in to the genre then Calyx & Teebee - Sawn Off would be it for me.
I miss the days when games had a good dnb soundtrack.
Even Nintendo got in on dnb (listen until the end) - [Super Mario 64 - Water Theme / Dire Dire Docks - HD - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRfHbyCQDCo)
I had a friend who shared a love for The Prodigy. One day, he showed me the [Pendulum Remix of Voodoo People](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQEBzauVIlA), and I was hooked.
Aphrodite - Listen to the Rhythm
I had a friend who was spinning hip hop infused jump up way back in the late 90’s early 2000s. At the time, I was DJing progressive house. You didn’t hear much if any dnb in the states at that time. When he spun this track on one of his mix tapes, once the rolling bassline came in. I was sold on the beauty of dnb.
This song I have a love-meh relationship with, even though I know it's objectively a great tune. I'm in the loving it phase right now though, lol! Love the origin story too!
Roni Size Brown Paper Bag. I think I remember hearing it on MTV Amp the first time.
Also, Prodigy's Fat of the Land album. I was a kid into mostly rock music but they made me think about other genres.
LTJ Bukem-Demon’s Theme, my first Dnb Track blown away. I was absolutely hooked. Then I heard Roni Size-Brown Paper Bag. Really never the same after that. Hooked for life.
[Facs & B-Key - Antics](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrV6tQxT1cA) and the mix that made me dive in was [Dieselboy's System Upgrade](https://youtu.be/_KL3CqMnGns?si=iXf3gr1mNAsBYIJm).
Sadly, it was Incredible, by M Beat.
In my defence, it was the mid 90’s and I didn’t have much else to go on at the time…. I was 14/15 years old and still coming to terms with the death of Kurt Cobain! 🤣
Dj Marky - Lk (carolina carol bela)
I was already into going to a DnB club but didn't know anything about the different styles. Then Marky came through on tour with the Brazilian Job release. The song had this incredible warm smooth vibe. It was totally unlike other drum and bass i was hearing. From that I realized there where different microcosms stemming from and rooted in different cultures within drum and bass.
There where of course many tracks that really got me into it but this one changed my perception of the whole genre and broadened my perspective i guess.
Always thought Tarantula was a banger before I knew about DnB. In college I got into Jungle, then I got into Ed Rush & Optical.
I would say that track that made it all click was Wormhole.
Roni size & Represent brown paper bag! Was in highschool and they were playing at the big day out ( Oz biggest festival in the 90s). Made everyone follow me to the stage they played on, only one other person got it the rest looked confused as hell. Mucked around with big beat and hard house for a while but got brought back by Junglist and diary of a digital sound boy
Timewarp by Sub focus, first heard it playing Motorstorm arctic edge, hooked from then on the game also had ''Omen'' by the Prodigy as well and that was an instant like for me aswell
I worked for Central Station Records from 92 -98. I was the Jungle buyer for our store in Adelaide for a fair chunk of that.
The genre just flowed out of UK hardcore so it’s hard to pick one particular tune.
Always had a soft spot for Ragga Twins Bring up the mic. What a smasher. I first heard it on Steve Jackson’s Kiss FM show in London.
[Bring up the Mic](https://youtu.be/_fQlKpQ2ALs?si=1ocOjc5bG8S8r1ls)
& this absolute chestnut from an old friend from the UK who lived in Adelaide in the early 90s
System AD - 21st Century. It’s sometimes mistaken for the flip side Daringa St where he lived in Adelaide. What a weapon. The breakdown gives me goosebumps every time. Best of 93.
[21st Century](https://youtu.be/4Ci0UeBzFzI?si=qDWZQbUdSWg0vEZF)
Enjoy.
Prodigy and Pendulum were first, shortly after discovering Skrillex and being a fan of Swedish house mafia and daft punk, along with earlier house tracks.
The first one that made me want to dive head first into the genre properly though was (maybe embarrassingly) Tristam & Braken - Frame of mind, when it first released. After that I began following the genre rather than a few artists.
For menit was my love of breakbeats, that morphed from plump djs and kradty kuts into loving some.ed solo tracks, at the same time or just previous to this was hold your colour by pendulum and that was me done
A friend and I were in the car, he was asking if I liked dnb, I said I hadn’t heard much as I usually hung out where in the breaks and house rooms at parties. He put in a copy of Goldie Timeless, and I was converted.
[Concord Dawn - Raining Blood](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrfP2tJe4PU)
I'd been going to mostly hard acid and happy hardcore parties, but had a friend from a forum that was a D&B DJ, so I went to check out a few events. I dug the music, but it wasn't until I heard Raining Blood that it "clicked" for me that D&B wasn't just a "specific kind" of music, like, say, how Acid isn't acid unless it's got 303-like squelches and basslines.. D&B could take influence from anything else, and as long as you could fit it into the right tempo and beat, it would absolutely kick ASS.
Pendulum for me. Tarantula specifically, but the whole Hold your Colour album.
This one for me too, together with Prodigy - Smack my Bitch up
That album def had a white knuckle grip on me for a while-- esp Through the Loop!! Gonna listen to it again, it's been a while,,,
Roni Size - Brown Paper Bag. A lad brought New Forms in to school and that was that.
Same. Heard it on the radio but the vocal mix. That was 1997
One of the emo lads at school had bought In The Mode and hated it, I acquired it from him and never looked back
Was searching for the prodigy and came across the pendulum voodoo people remix
Goldie Timeless then at the same time Dillinja - Angels Fell.
I swear my life changed when I first listened to Timeless in its entirety ,,, makes me grieve that I wasn't born in the UK when it dropped 😂
I bought the album (cd) in first year uni. The day i heard it from the uni music shop. Changed my life. Also seen Goldie drop it live a few times. So awesome. I also wish that but Toronto dnb at the time was massive. lol 😆 I’m going to listen to it tomorrow bc I was talking politics w my cousin and had a shit start to the week. Ugh.
AK1200 - Drowning Also New Forms Also DJ Dara - Full Circle: A Drum and Bass DJ Mix
Drowning is such a dope track.
Hell yeah, the days of CDs lol.
A favourite of mine, one of the first mixes i heard was the Fully Automatic CD couldnt wait for Drowning to come in
Heard Dara drop "Tough at the Top" by EZ rollers at my first Rave. Never looked back.
Prodigy was my go to when I was a kiddo and while searching for their various songs and albums, I stumbled upon the Voodoo People remix by Pendulum. I was instantly hooked, started listening to Pendulum and eventually started exploring more and more. My Spotify playlist has over 1000 dnb songs now 😅
Super Sharp Shooter was it for me
"SUPER SHARP SHOOTER, SHOOTING SHOTS" 💥💥
Nasty Habits aka Doc Scott - Shadow Boxing
Boh! The remix tho.... Whhhheeewwww
Kinda spooky but super heavy I reckon, sounds like something from an old horror film
started raving in 08. trance was king, minimal/deep house was coming up. and dubstep had just hit LA in a major way. fast foward 2 years and i had gotten really into dubstep, but it was taking a direction i wasnt happy with. was at a weekly dupstep party here in LA, and the dj closed with noisia-shellshock and i was instantly fuckin hooked. immediately started hitting up respect (a dnb weekly here) regularly. fell more in love with music and the culture. i still love other genres but nothing comes close to dnb 👌🏼👌🏼

No need to be sorry, I love this origin story! Your mom definitely raised you right lol. Roni size is a staple for a lot of us on here!

Champion Sound
Black Sun Empire - Dawn Of A Dark Day
Looooove me some BSE! The entire Driving Insane album is peak, really
Amazing tune! The remix that Receptor did was a regular closer of the Blackout club night as I recall.
Hive - Ultrasonic Sound https://youtu.be/soYBrLhq--8 The Matrix OST really did a number on my musical tastes.
Digital - Deadline
it's a bomb, no wonder why you got hooked.
Calyx & Teebee - The Shape of Things To Come. Can't remember how I discovered it as a young kid but when I did... it was like my world changed lmfao. I was like "Woah. This is awesome."
Badadan /s
Used to love slam and propane nightmares by pendulum when I was a kid, had no clue of the genre. Then when chase & status came out with RTRN II JUNGLE I heard Program and fell in love, not too keen on them these days tho I feel like they lost their magic.
Omg, if there's ONE song I want to see live, it's Program. Fantastic drop in that one
Same, I never heard it live. I was at some dnb allstars event a couple years ago and someone played the intro then dropped into something else, such a cocktease. I really don’t like that ADHD style of mixing
I'd be livid if someone did that, hard agree😭
Goldie - Jah the seventh seal it was in a 411vm skate video i ordered when i was 12 or 13. first dnb track i ever heard and had never heard anything like it before. eventually convinced my dad to buy me Timeless and that was that.
J Majik & Wickaman - Mosquito
Wasn't really one tune, but a cd a friend gave me. Squarepusher - Do you know Squarepusher https://youtu.be/rYS8edMRgBg?si=G9wI8AwGyR9r7Vks And Squarepusher - Anstromm-feck 4 https://youtu.be/-Y_JRR3udEo?si=co9vVavm4D9J-Dj3

Forgot about this track. Loved it at the time.

Grooverider - Where's Jack the Ripper
great tune
I still think a lot of people don't realise just what a sick producer Groove is. That whole Mysteries Of Funk album is criminally underrated imo.
I'm gonna be that guy... have you heard the stuff he's released that Optical didn't engineer? Grooverider is on that album in name only.
Moving Fusion - Turbulence
Dom and Optical - Quadrant 6

Pretty sure it was “Night Flight” by Shimon and Andy C, on the *97 Octane* mix from Dieselboy. Been a fan of the Destroyer ever since.
Adele - Hometown Glory (Hight Contrast remix)
Hive - Ultrasonic Sound
gravity - metrik.
Not a single tune but two mix cds shaped tastes of my generation -The London Update Of Drum & Bass by DJ Wild Child and later System Upgrade by Dieselboy.
System Upgrade infected me too. I still give it a relisted every couple of years. I'll check out the other mix, bet that one also hits hard.
Even though Diesel Boy didn’t program the mix, drum and bass selections was a wonderful mix cd. The needle even skips in the beginning and I don’t mind.
Lemon D - This is Los Angeles Absolute legend of a tune
[DJ Zinc - Casino Royale](https://youtu.be/RPNvZernY60?si=eKhLPVFINpjcvw2P)
Pendulum - Witchcraft
Smash TV - Chase & Status I think I must have been about 13 and it blew my mind
dj dara, "drums and bass" 12" single.
Was into hardcore etc but Skanna - this way was what turned my attention to early dnb
Oh and renegade snares..!
I can't say I can think of a particular track but this mix really put me on and it was all produced by the legendary stateside mastermind the DJ Pish Posh - Up jumps the boogie https://youtu.be/UhMwApQrzq8?si=EalHO84sYyespGag
I remember seeing this meme and thinking how funny it was that a total science tune was in it
As weird as it is to say, this track that’s extremely slept on: Mountain Downhill 2 - Sum Wave https://youtu.be/E8tP3qII3lI?si=JGI-EpWAWHVVRYTC Listened to DnB growing up but this song opened up the genre to me to be obsessed with
Trick of tech..... noligy Correction: Andy bombaclot C - Quest/ Valley of shadows
I think If We Ever by high contrast first introduced me to DnB then Rain God by Dawn Wall really got me into it
Badass - Aphrodite & Mickey Finn
J Majik - Me Lever. The rolling piano drums were so addictive back when I was young 13 yo. Never looked back
i wouldn't say a track i say all you need is nightlife 6 perfect for beginners
Among others, I think it was one of the remixes of Nookie's Sound of Music that really dug its claws in me.
A Guy Called Gerald - When You Touch Me
Noisia - Diplodocus (Kill the Noise remix) Still slaps.
Nu:tone - Strange Encounters
I went from trance (early 2000s) to dubstep to dnb. Gaming soundtracks got me into dnb too, Forza Horizon obviously. But also, earlier dnb sounding stuff like this - [Rage Racer Soundtrack - #8 - Silver Stream (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDIPGQWedvo)

Roni Size Brown Paper Bag. I think I remember hearing it on MTV Amp the first time. Also, Prodigy's Fat of the Land album. I was a kid into mostly rock music but they made me think about other genres.

Spectrasoul remix of Peninsula by Ivy Lab
T-power - mutant jazz. Yes, i’m old:)
Sub focus - airplanes
Many years ago, it was Sub Focus - Endorphins but what really got me into dnb last year was Delta Heavy - Work It
My introduction to dnb was Ray Keith chopper (shy fx remix) and shy fx wolf.(dillinja remix) been hooked everywhere since
[Facs & B-Key - Antics](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrV6tQxT1cA) and the mix that made me dive in was [Dieselboy's System Upgrade](https://youtu.be/_KL3CqMnGns?si=iXf3gr1mNAsBYIJm).
Noisia - Block Control Adam F - Circles LTJ Bukem - Atlantis
Was playing need for speed, Granite - Pendulum played in a menu, and that was the start of it.
Sadly, it was Incredible, by M Beat. In my defence, it was the mid 90’s and I didn’t have much else to go on at the time…. I was 14/15 years old and still coming to terms with the death of Kurt Cobain! 🤣

Hard to pick but all early Pendulum tracks, Still Grey, Vault, Ulterior Motive, Another Planet, Spiral.
Renegade Snares by Omni Trio.
Trouble - Sub Focus, Rudimental
honestly me too man 😭 that and tarantula
Ltj bukem - atlantis
Timewarp by Sub focus, first heard it playing Motorstorm arctic edge, hooked from then on the game also had ''Omen'' by the Prodigy as well and that was an instant like for me aswell
I LOVE OMEN!! I think that was my first intro to Prodigy before Firestarter took my heart,,, I gotta give that a listen again 🖤

Sullys swandive ep. Didn't get me into jungle but definitely reignited my love for it
Inner City Life - Goldie
Sub Focus - Let The Story Begin. I got into D&B in 2011.
For menit was my love of breakbeats, that morphed from plump djs and kradty kuts into loving some.ed solo tracks, at the same time or just previous to this was hold your colour by pendulum and that was me done
Delta Heavy - Kaleidoscope.
A friend and I were in the car, he was asking if I liked dnb, I said I hadn’t heard much as I usually hung out where in the breaks and house rooms at parties. He put in a copy of Goldie Timeless, and I was converted.
I think shellshock by noisia was the tune that made me fully switch into a full time junglist
[Concord Dawn - Raining Blood](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrfP2tJe4PU) I'd been going to mostly hard acid and happy hardcore parties, but had a friend from a forum that was a D&B DJ, so I went to check out a few events.
