My favourite jungle/DnB track!
Well I know it's not actually jungle/DnB, however I'm big into that, and then I came across this song from the 70's, and it was "Lonnie Liston-Smith is the Grandfather of Jungle and Drum and Bass!"

[vincentbordes]

[keithroberts]

[sprintst]

I’m here for this. Favourite track, you did it justice. No triangle though, I can only award 9.99/10.

[_SjB_]

YES!!! Matt I sold you the nord lead 2 box a few years ago! Hope you’re well. This is one of my ALL TIME FAVOURITE TUNES!!!!

[theaudioeng]

Hey Matt!! What a end of gig memory here for us😍🙏 (Birthday bash 😝🎂🍹🎈) - I'm the one in the black jacket right opposite Derrick's drum kit, with bleeding ears from his fantastic drumming all night!!!😖. Looking forward to your next gig that we can get across too

[donwrangler]

Looking fresh in that Grinch Green suit!

[SkillipEvolver]

Gotta say, I just love coming back to this..
It has great all round energy. A great example of how and when to cut, stop playing, let the groove breathe. When you fire up again. Great movement to it.

Any track that makes you move, and then change direction, you know it's got good mechanics 👍🏻👍🏻

Really enjoy the tines and chimes in the keys as well, you can hear them clean as a bell.

[maxcarter]

Great sounding band, and that Rhodes sound is killing it. So many great memories from the Jazz Cafe when I was living in London.

[doublebassy]

Cheers great tune. Love this tune. LLSmith. awesome.
