User Reviews:
langster, Feb 15, 2005

Top Buzz were without question one of the most influential acts of the early 90s rave scene. They actually coined the phrase and genre "Jungle Techno". It states clearly on the 2x10" Living In Darkness cover "Creation" "Jungle Techno Our Word" "Jungle Techno Our World"

They consisted of three people and often referred to themselves as "Two Blacks and a Bubble" Bubble meaning Bubble and Squeak the cockney rhyming slang for Greek. These avid Tottenham Hotspur supporters still tour the country today playing both oldskool and new style sets. Living In Darkness and the subsequent remixes are timeless Hardcore Jungle anthems and still raise the roof today. Their sets have all become legendary and in truth they never let the crowd down, although MC Mad P occasionally went off on one at the crowd as as the height of their fame the crowd would often constantly try to chant his lyrics louder than him and pester him while he was working. Top Buzz will go down in history for playing some of the best sets and appearing at some of the best events throughout the 90s. What more can anyone say about these boys except if you missed them then you can only say you missed out. Respect to the Top Buzz crew and may they continue to rock the crowd for many years to come.
