Adam F – Brand New Funk

Sounds best when played at 33 rpm if you ask me.

Onetime says it all. This is such a classic tune. And listening again 20 years later it's VINTAGE.!!

The Suv remix is a different remix to the one he made for the Planet V LP (i.e. the one playing on the youtube link)

I used to drop doubles of this track so it would echo the break down. Massive tune!!!! Always got a rewind.

This release will always have its place in drum and bass history. In 1997 jungle was mired in sample-by-numbers jump up and directionless darkside. This came out of leftfield. I first heard it dropped by Fabio on a Friday night in the unassuming surroundings of the Brunel Club, Swindon. The intro seemed to last an eternity. I remember everyone looking at each other on the dancefloor, strangers asking each other the same question - what the hell is this tune? And then it dropped. And we erupted. Every element of the tune is perfect - the horn stabs, the live bass guitar, the menacing breakdown, the old school hip hop sample "yah say.." Later that night, after the club, someone had a tape with it on, recorded off the BBC's One In The Jungle, and we just sat there, rewinding, rewinding, rewinding.
