They smashed it at Orange reunion at Camden Palace (Koko) in June (15/06/2024).

Eastcoast USA, frankie bones would play this and everyone would rush the dancefloor. You knew it was on from there.

[andrewburbage]

Fack! THIRTY years old and STILL as fresh as ever!!!

[harvwilliams]

Ultimate jungle sound, ,
The forerunners of the genre..
Absolute perfection
Crystal bleeps and dirty Bass lines,
What more could anyone ask for.
Nuff said....

I love the ragga twins, I’m a 90s jungle raver and their flow and the way bounce of each other when a jungle dj is selecting proper dirty dubs and breaks is a thing of true primeval joy, you feel it in your soul

[waynewoodhouse]

First tune from these legends was
£20 pound to get in.
Then they just turned out big memories and tunes showing my old man the 12” and he said what is wrong with you and your brother listening to that shit little did he know what we was as raving was family x😉

[breakfreak]

takes me back to raving in the summer of '92! Such a wicked riddim and ahead of it's time. Hardcore with no cheese....proto jungle. This used to smash it (well in London anyway!) SUAD has to be one of the most under rated old school labels. For me, they were pioneers in the hardcore era.

I heard this out in my Daddies Iveco Ford 300 30 Truck years ago coming off the Motorway / My Parents Beige Vauxhall Cavalier CD A Reg 1984 & My Daddies Light Blue VW T25 Transporter Van I heard this done & I heard in my Parents House in Wembley Park Middlesex 40 Years Ago in 1990 1988 / 1989 etc

[rbhutchinson]

Sampled from Black Uhuru 1980
"Shine eye gal is a trouble to a man
Shine eye gal is a trouble to a man

I arise early looking some tea (rise early)
Looking for the daughter but she nuh on ya (she nuh on ya)
I take a walk down the street, oh yeah
De gal deh pan corner wi' push-mouth Lorna - and her bed nuh spread"

[samipummas]

Omg i finally found out its not shine on but shine eye, I asked everyone and I finally got the answer I needed, in this 1992 or 93 oldschool techno tape from the Brooklyn undergound, first time I ever heard reggae with techno and some funky breaks, it still gets me moving !!! Timeless. 💋

[ornikel]
