Slipmatt obsession parkhall Hereford yess yess. - The Track "Darkest Light Sample" How Many Times As That Songs Been Sampled From 90's Old Skool Rave To Hip Hop Though To Main Stream Pop Music in The 2000'
Dub Wars By Dance Conspiracy (1992), Show Em Whatcha Got By Public Enemy (1988), Soul Food By Tuff Crew (1989), Just a Lil Dope By Masters At Work (1991), Back To The Hotel By N2Deep (1992,) Back Against The Wall by Three Six Mafia (1995), Rump Shaker By Wreckx-N-Effect (1992), You Can't See What I See By Heavy D & the Boyz (1996), Freestyle Noize By Freestylers (1998), Mad Love By Britney Spears (2001), Show Me What You Got" by Jay-Z (2006) + 10000'S More I bet - 1992 really didn't get too much better than this. If you're into old school breakbeat and don't have this, are you really into it? :D
- For anybody looking for a digital/CD version of Dub War (Chapter 1), it's on this release - https://www.discogs.com/Various-XL-Recordings-The-American-Chapter/master/64886
- The version they put out on Metamorphosis is a little different to the XL recordings one. SO I guess an early copy will cost a small fortune these days.
- First heard this on a DJ Sy Studio mix. One of the best 92 tunes without question. So many top DJ's played chapter 1. I love the euphoric female breakdown in the middle, makes it sound mellow and has that hands in the air element.
Glad I have more than one copy. - This EP is made up of 5 chapters. Each chapter manages (somehow) to be better than the preceding chapter. Perhaps it is the borrowing of past rave sounds that distinguish each chapter, perhaps it it is the faultless programming skills on display, perhaps it is the drums, perhaps it is the bass. Whatever it is this 12" demonstrates what worked so perfectly well with UK hardcore circa early 1992 - it was fucking untouchable. Perfect.
- This'll annoy some people and make others leap for joy - someone's only gone and done a repress! I picked up one at IMO Records. Quality-wise, they've tried to make it look like the original but they may as well have not bothered as you can tell it's a repress immediately. Sounds like they've pressed it from an original record as the sound isn't perfect (noticeable bumps in the background when very quiet / silent).
But to all intents and purposes it's the original! - Quite simply the best dance / rave anthem of all time! The 12" EP is an early 90s trip down ecstacy lane, with different moods and tones. The main track is a jungle tour de force, with ay-ay-ay sweet female lyrics designed to send shivers down yer spine and get your hands in the air. It then moves on to deep basslines, with a massive jungle breakbeat moving your feet. Every rave DJ played this in every set. Guaranteed floor filler, i hugged more sweaty torsoes to this tune than any other! Brilliant.
