Nah man, Hatch was still big back then - even the grime boys gave him exclusives, he used to get dubs from Agent X, Wiley and Sticky the same as he did from all the Croydon lot!!

As far as Dubstep was concerned back then all you really saw on wax was the early Tempa releases which would have been all Horsepower and a couple of Kode 9, Soulja which was Oris Jay & Zed Bias bits, Shelflife, Ghost and Stealth People, which was pretty much Zed Bias, Sefton, El B, J Da Flex and Roxy and the Sidewinder label which again was releasing the Zed Bias stuff. Then labels like Vehicle popped up which put out the slightly breakier side of things.

All the labels mentioned were run thru the ammunition umbrella which still runs FWD to this day.

Other than the dubs we made ourselves and swapped with eachother, pretty much all of us were drawing quite a bit of instrumental grime into our sets back then. I still remember Hatcha caning the Alias stuff, and he was also the first DJ I ever heard play Golly Gosh by Sticky which is an absolute grime classic instrumental.

texture, road, black ops. so many of the now classic labels owe a massive amount of their reputation to big apple/hatcha/arthur. hatcha turned me on to jon e cash, and a whole bunch of things i'd never heard of before. i don't think many of the newer heads realise just how small and croydon the whole thing was back then. i mean, it started in that shop. other shops were on it as well, but ground zero was big apple. the big apple online store (when it worked..lol) was a lifeline to all of us in america and elsewhere. fullstop.
