What a lethal, dark, old-school dnb tune.🥷 Still class all these yrs later.

[dialect]

Heard this at my first underground dnb rave back in the early 00's... coming from just knowing stuff like Roni Size and Squarepusher, being a jazz bassist introduced to dnb by drummers, my metalhead/goth phase was reignited lol!
All hail the original dark lord of dnb!

[SSCBosh]

Got to fabric early one night back in the day and a warm up dj dropped this... floor was empty, I lost my shit, my boys were cracking up, ...true story.... I love that shit.

[HAKON]

TECHNICAL ITCH YOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST DRUM AND BASS ARTISTS !

[Beef_Wellington_Ross]

Movement forward, 100 men,
Marching function, threat, the word,
Light, dark, harder, stronger,
Deeper core, warrior charge

Soldiers FOCUS, the real FOCUS,
Cause FOCUS, believe FOCUS,
Edge FOCUS, hard FOCUS,
No resistance hence we assimilate the world!

Back in 2024. To me, this is proper DnB. Doesn't sound like shitty EDM. No 4 beat techno kick. *Hard* drums, deep bass. No plastic mini snares.

Tech Itch has a night at Loki in Brixton on 15 Nov....but I'm going to Raindance's 30th on the 17th. Arghhh! Too old to handle both!

Anyway...this V.I.P goes *in!*

After round about 10 years of searching, found it!!! Wooohooo!

[michaelobrien]

Absolutely rips your chest to pieces. Very well produced and clever use of layers

[ollieduracell]

wish tech itch re-released all of these digitially. my vinyl copy has been played to death. absolute banger!

[JaakHavik-oz]

I had forgot how Tech Itch was the master of getting me shivers when sober!

Heard this track on a Drum n Bass Arena mix on their website back when I was still in High School around 2002/2003.

[illynoizzz]

Damn, what memories connected with this track. How it ripped our tired bodies apart at 5 o'clock at DnB open air jam session. You just standed up and began to move again and again and again. )))

[ThomasCleanbag]

it has the fucking awesomeness of the early 00's... (*cries in honor) 

[farknfreakn]

Tremendous, played it a 1000 times....sign o the times back then

[BadJuJew]

proper DnB how it should be! quality banger

[jonniebad]

I dropped this at a party the weekend after release date and the place fucking blew up. Never saw a crowd react like they did to this one.

[KRONIKBASS]

Always hear dj krusts follow da vision mixing into this from the friction mix of bingo sessions volume 1 😂

[lachlottfaclott]

Darker than a blackout in 🇫🇮 BO BO BO!!! 😈

[johncox]

Big up to one of the classiests dnb tunes on deck.
