Stuff i used to here on radio then Micheal Jackson, Del la soul, Aswad, Rap...Public Enemy, NWA, Ice cube, Snoop Dogg, Easy E, Dre, Biggy, 2pac....
Then came old skool rave house kinda stuff like SL2, Liquid, Ratpack, Baby D, Altern-8 that kinda shizzle... Started hearing abit of garage then actually.
Then came Fantasia(I only found out the other day they were still runnin), Labrynth, Dreamscape, Club UK, Slipmatt, Sy and the old Hardcore tapepacks wasnt really feelin the Hardcore vibe to much but i loved the darker tunes with the breakbeats...
Which lead on to Jungle! Hype, Andy C, Omni Trio, Congo Natty, Mickey finn, Kenny Ken, Grooverider, Randall, Darren Jay, Zinc, Mampiswift, etc etc Awol, United dance, Dreamscape, Seduction, Desire, One Nation, T.O.V. Jungle got me listening to Reggea and Dub!
Then.... heard alot of Garage music from my mate walsh at school, Nice and ripe, Strictly Rythum the i started buyin both jungle (which was becomin more DNB) and garage, This was wen i found Big apple Records in croydon, before i was shopping at waxcity and Blackmarket. Then through a speed garage stage, then i gradually started playing out garage on Radio and in clubs.
As the scene was getting bigger I started hearing darker stuff through apple records, El B, Zed Bias, Oris Jay, Horsepower and then i found my home! As the music grew I religiously went to FWD>> and started producing, then i left Delight Fm to go to Rinsefm and now im here. In the last few years of DJing and traveling I started hearing more Techno, House and I like some of it.
Thats were I came from!
Not bad seeing as I lived in Surrey and had to mission it on buses and trains all the time wid no money. It was fun doh, I been about for time!
wish i was old enough and in the uk in the jungle days..
i got into hip hop from rage against the machine,
then i heard sasha's album wavey gravey which got me into dance music.
i then got into d'n'b and deep prog breaks..
and then a mate played me ur shows,(this was about year and a half ago) at first i wasnt that into it, but you made me laugh that much that i listened anyways... then before i knew it i was hooked..
i havnt looked back since..
dubstep is like the music that i had been waiting my whole life to hear and i just didnt know it...
