- The Nine gets all the love but it's Planet Dust that's always done it for me. That riff and that drop just destroy.
- I missed the glory days of jungle, but I'm glad I didn't miss this piece of drum and bass history live and direct. One of the first tunes I tracked down on vinyl when I bought my decks. It always reminded me of Star Wars and I eventually bought a scratch dj record with Star Wars samples on it to play over the intro and scratch into it. Massive tune that still mixes well with the new tunes coming out these days.
- Not a drum 'n bass expert by any stretch of the imagination, but what a monster choon this is. I am talking about speedball. The A side is Meh, in my humble opinion.

:) - Edited 7 years agoPlanet Dust is a monster, it is one of the best dnb tunes out there. Fresh has produced an unbelievable masterpiece.
Johnny Massacre wrote below " When the now infamous Reese on the build up cut into the mix, everyone on the dance floor looked at each other as if to say, "Oh shit ... you know what this means"."
It still works this way!
And when dj use it properly it is causing the mayhem when it drops.
Check out this clip from from Exit Records' 10 years anniversary at Fire when BC was playing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNjFNUQApqA
Pure madness! :D
- Edited 12 years agoThis is the definition of monster - unequivocally one of the biggest drum & bass tracks of all time.
Why is it called "Planet Dust"? It's a reference to cocaine. I know because I know.
The first time I heard this was at Movement at Mass in Brixton. It kind of went over my head the first time. It was played by various DJs throughout the night. At the end, Ed Rush & Optical were playing, and they brought it in. When the now infamous Reese on the build up cut into the mix, everyone on the dance floor looked at each other as if to say, "Oh shit ... you know what this means".
Since then, more and more DJs started to batter it. Even when everyone was playing it, it still got rewinds and was the highlight of a set. I remember some time after it was on dub, Andy C dropped it at fabric, and it just sounded incredibly tearing and heavy. It got rewound of course. I remember some nights where EVERY SINGLE DJ played it ... so about 9 times in one night (any girl would be lucky to get rinsed that many times in a single evening, let alone a vinyl).
It is perhaps "The Pulse" on steroids.
"Planet Dust" is to "The Pulse" what "The Nine" was to "The Code" ... basically perfecting a past formula. ("The Code" was a track by Absolute Zero [DJ Fresh and Maldini] whose concept, admittedly by Fresh, was later perfected on "The Nine".) You can hear the huge similarities between Bad Company's "Planet Dust" and "The Pulse" in arrangement, sounds, etc. They're near identical, except that "Planet Dust" takes the concept to a more twisted and tearing destination. "Planet Dust" is solely produced by DJ Fresh, unlike "The Pulse", "The Code" and "The Nine".
The B-Side "Speedball" is actually one of my favourite tracks. It's just so druggy, and it's underrated because of the enormity of the flip, but it still did get some love on wax. When I first heard this it totally possessed my soul on the dance floor – it sounded like some kind of evil alien robotic transmission coming out of the speakers. What else can I say? Oh yeah ... I know ... this sounds fucking amazing on E.
