From the review of BRSS003 explains how Kev Bird was a regular customer at my shop and so was Paul Saunders. Paul was signed to Reading Football Club and used to come into my shop 'The Record Basement' at least twice a week. He was as nuts about Techno as I was and I used to keep some of the obscure stuff for him. He was also a talented DJ and his mixing was tight, more important was the records he played and mixed together which gave him a unique sound, his handle was The Wax Doctor. He hooked up with Kev in the shop and asked me if it would be ok for him to make a tune with Kev for the label, I didn't need convincing, so I rang Ron and booked the guys in. The result was a brilliant three track ep and now noted as 'Jungle Techno', Basement classic's. The combination of Ron Kev & Paul produced one of those magical moments, Dark Matter got instantly battered by the DJs and Airspace & Tough But Nice slowly grew in stature as well.

Yet another top quality essential release from the Basement crew. Dark Matter and TBN were played by many of the top DJ's in the early 90's UK rave scene and both later got remixes which were equally as good. The whole Basement sound is very distinctive and just personifies the term Jungle Techno, they were up there with the likes of Reinforced and Moving Shadow in my opinion and it's a shame they couldn't have continued on like they did. Big up Basement Records - dark rolling intelligent hardcore to sum up!
