Shout to the Duke Ruffa Cyndicut 100 4FM 1993

A clip taken from one of my many pirate radio recordings, this I recorded myself in 1993. DJ Daz is THE DJ who got me into raving in 1991 when I came across Cyndicut FM on the radio. I have LOVED pirate radio and underground dance music ever since. Thank you, Daz! From the Duke and the Demolition firm.

DJ Daz was always my favourite DJ, and he went onto being Undercover Agent / MTS, running Splash Records and producing some of the tracks which defined the Jungle Drum & Bass scene in the mid to late 90s, including 'Babylon', 'Dub Plate Circles', 'Rougher Pt.3' and 'Oh Gosh'
Born in Grays, Essex in 1969, Undercover Agent aka (Daz, Splash, Mts), has a number of classic releases on Juice and Splash, Deejay Recordings, Sub Base, IQ Done, remixes for True Playaz ,Tommy Boy, East'side, Dropping Science and Lifting spirit's.
He first started DJing in 1983 doing house party's on cassette decks amazingly and then moved onto his first set of technic 1200s in 1987 playing hip hop, acid house, hardcore and then jungle.
By 1989 Daz was well and truly hooked and DJing wasn't enough so he and a few friends decided to start their own pirate radio station and "Cyndicut Fm" was born.
Throughout the 90s Cyndicut had a lot of the biggest names around playing regular sets and inspiring the youth of Thurrock to become Dj's and Producers also. By 1994 Splash Records was dropping dub after dub to smash the dance floor, Daz's biggest track to date is Babylon and his claim to fame is the mighty Dub Plate Circle which was featured in the Warner Brothers film 187"
His biggest music influences as a teen were Grand Master Flash and Jah Shaka and his music has had support from Andy c, Grooverider, Randall, Ray Keith, Hype, Brockie and the list goes on and on…..

Cyndicut FM was an Essex based Pirate Radio station that began broadcasting in the late 80s on 100.4 FM and moving to 101FM them 90.6 FM frequency as an Acid House/Hardcore music pirate station. With the evolution of underground came the wave of Jungle music and then Drum & Bass and Cyndicut FM followed this musical tide of change also moving frequency to 97.8FM, with a whole heap of legendary DJs, including Andy C, DJ Vibes, Magistrate, Embee, MATT, Just Jones, DJ Destruction and DJ DAZ aka Splash aka Undercover Agent of Splash records, along with many other MCs and producers
