Would add to this already very comprehensive list with the below:
Anything by Qualifide (try and look online for his ‘Deuce’ CD that came free with DJ Mag a few years ago, amazing mix)
Most things by Brasstooth (‘I can’t quite understand’, which samples ‘Bonus Drum & Bass’ by the All Night Jam Experience, at least I think I have the track titles right there, anyone with clarification please check, as my A.N.J.E vinyl label is very very faded)
God-bod Todd obviously been mentioned about 8 times upthread (Shhhhhut the door)
DND – Neighbourhood
Then you have the pre-grime era things where it was still 4x4
Dj Wire – Last Chance
Dj Oddz – The trouble
Agent X – Killahertz / Decoy / Turbulance etc etc...
Loads, will post more when I’m out of work and can actually look at my records.
