Sanjay Patel na it was recorded live at ministry of sound, but the crowd has been looped over and over again. The crowd is genuine just been looped and the audio is higher
🏆
Born in the 70's, grew up in the 80's and raved in the 90's ---- feel blessed to have experienced this scene, so many great memories all over London and the South East
Same as bruv, great times was such a care free time best nights of my life, then had to get old, gutted. Lol👍👍👍
Done know
Same
Same my man what days theses were and still very close to my heart sorely miss totally blessed having a wee jig the noo.
Looking back we really did have the best times in my eyes.born in early 70s having Grifters and chopper bikes, ska, breakdancing,graffiti.acid house,hardcore.breakbeat,rave,jungle
45yrs old...and remember that night like it was yesterday....it was well worth the sick day afterwards
Forever a legendary night in my life 😎😎😎
The tunes that didnt make it to the tape that night were mind blowing too. Ouch!
43 and still feckin luvin it x
@@wh0586 got any ?
@@wh0586 Yeah I know been there a few times in my past
Same here this was the lick.
Real jungle, 90s, the whole scene was proper bk then. I'm glad I'm old enough to have experience the real golden era of jungle. Those old enough knows what I'm saying. 😎😎😎👌🏽
This still goes hard af in 2019.
Fully
World dance 93, epic 😁
Was there then, am here now. Come 'cross.
Hastings Peer.,..cheezuzchrist Mc..GQ •••Da MastA MICKY bludclot FINN...carnt 4get hot2handle RANDALL....dem times were crazy FAM XR3I's yes yes🔥😂😂😂🔥
I did the sleevenotes 4 this album! Proud moment.
Respect! Anyone who was there during these times will stay legends in my mind. Best times of my life.
i was just a bit too young to be there, i did buy the cd though and it was mint. if i remember the sleeve was like a book lol. respect.
Respect. These were the days!
banging in 24'. still! bad boy sets. Great vibes still a gwarn. Them times there - bare vibes!
Born in 94, grew up on this coz of my old man!
Heard plenty of stories from getting lifts with random people, the unknown locations, the tape cassettes that were available to buy on the back of the flyers, leaving the rave with no hearing etc! To this day he still feels the rush when the tunes drop and re lives the moment 😂
Seriously wish i could have experienced this era, if anyone set a rave up to be like this now, i know for certain it would not compare to this, no one has the ears for this… the new generation & technology has killed this real music off 😑 music isnt the same nowadays! Live sets! Pure talent, passion, love and feelings went into this, the crowd was the energy for the DJ’s and the DJ’s controlled the crowd, back and forth to eachother.
Gutted!!!
Big up to the REAL ones 👊🏽
Andy C still rinses Babylon - Splash. But yeah these days are gone; let's create the future 😎
MC GQ, easily the best Junglist MC - he totally built a rocking atmosphere on top of those huge tunes.
"This goes out to all those at the front, the back and round the outside"
"Call for the reeeeeeeewind, oh my gosh MICKEY FINN!"
Happy days! 😁👍
Braaaap!
Ya mon! Party was hype! Vibes were sick! Everyone I knew was trying to steal that tape from me lol
Agreed gq and hyper d the best.both beleived they were their to hype the crowd.the actual purpose of an mc.not actually to waffle on and massage their own egos.
My fave was "it's 4am, the doors are locked, and NO ONE is leaving" // GQ the original - met him outside Fabric a few months ago. Absolute geezer.
50 .. still Jump and sway like I’m
25 !!when I hear this , best people , music atmosphere❤️.... magical ✨
Just turned 51...but right with you..those nights used to fly by..0600 before you knew it..:)
😜😂🤣🥳💯 oiiiiii Oiiiiiiiiii
The crowd at the start know what time it is!!
The B-line is MAD!
Me too...
No words needed . History right here .
Big up 👌
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🥇🥇🥇🥇🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥🔥
🏆🏆🏆
So good, my soundtrack for years, converted many after they heard this
In this set I am just addicted to 52min 50 seconds, heavy weight bass , Gachet, Hey!!! Can't stop playing it over N over again!
Professional business with DJ & MC together!!
Blod Clott!! Crack it man!!!
52:50
I have this CD and let me tell you massive, the bass in the place, speakers and tweeters.... The neighbours complaining every day after school coz they feelin the foundations shakin. Whistle crew 😎🍻 1997
RE good girl 🥳🥳
me too i rinsed the livin shit out of this tape about 100 of us all taped it off each other back then lol.....Quality
Those were the times
Mc GQ in my opinion was the best jungle MC by far, original toasting/rhyming he knew when to ride a riddim and when to let the tune play. So many others spoilt sets by chatting pure fraff!
So true best ever.
rolling rolling here we go, g’s on the mic wanna get with the flow
He was the nuts but for me personally hyper d was just the absolute tits! I cud dance to his flow and lyrics alone!! Hard as fuck!! Big up all the old skool junglist booooo
@@davidwilson1627 Big up bruv 🙌🏾
GQ and Stevie, but loved Rage also
Yeah him and Det and Stevie Hyper D most t of the others fucking irritated me!
This is the best set ever recorded. Hands down! Goosebumps every time!
Only one close is Mickey Finn at purée. Abandon me in the middle of the set. Was 8pm at night at Purex 96, and it blew my brains out with 10 hours of ravin to go
Big facts
absolutely.....
I completely agree, I've heard 100s of sets and these are probably the best I've ever heard, just phenomenal
I need this on CD
Yep I agree. And I was there mashing it up live
Im 51 and still luvin da vibes
49 years old , I remember this night !! Omg !! What a time this was 💙💙💙
The intro, the bass, the way the tunes are allowed to breathe... amazing.
Exactly!!!! GQ has always been the best at that.. No need for muntering on, just the bass line and the drums, and the beginning of the tune to make your hairs stand on end...❤❤❤❤
@@Sophie-fi6dm respect sister 🙏🏽
Luv this back 2 20yrs great timesx
This album captures what it was like raving in London in those days. My hair still stands up listening to that Babylon drop. Big up those that were there! I need a time machine......
Yup
The sound is A1 and murder has begun as the ravers danced until the rising of the sun and the music captivated your mind and held it in suspension. You were taken on a journey to another dimension. Magical, musical memories were made of this and I send these lyrics out to all old school junglist.
Kenny Ken murked it with 'dis sound ruff' and 'pied piper'. This set is religion
❤🔥
This takes me back. I'm 40 now and I remember going helter skelter in 95 New year's eve. Kenny Ken back to back with micky Finn. What a weekend that was.
I’m 52 now and remember this rave like it was yesterday ( Happy Times)
Sadly there are no raves like this anymore 😔
Long live the original Jungle Ravers 🙌🏾
Didn’t know it was possible to have goosebumps for 1hour 11minutes
This has got to be THE BEST live mix of all time. From the first tune Darren Jay plays and when the bass kicks in with a Jesus Christ accompanied by the whistles and airhorns inside the ministry of sound, alongside two MCs absolutely on the top of their game, I never ever get tired of listening to this!!
You can hear the vibrs!
@@whosthatlailey258 you should check our jungle
Here you are 😂👍💃🙌
You know this 👊
For me, the best year for jungle/drum and bass. The reggae influence of 94 started to dwindle but the tunes got so raw.
1994 Produced Some COLD TRAX...
94-95 was some of the best years for jungle. Like you said the reggae scene was epic back then
Remember where it all came from hard core dnb .ragga jump on the ban waggon
Ya bluuuuud claaaat
Rude boy Selecta
Listing to that crowd.. makes the hairs on the back of my back stand up !!
Absolute filth.... 🔥 This was the way it was.
MC GQ was the Don when it came to hyping up the crowd live inside the dance. Him and Hyper D unrivalled to this day. No contest 👌 OJ's
Gq still ain't too bad 👌
First night at the paradise club ,got me a membership best club ever 🙏🏽👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I was there at the Paradise in the Angel regularly. Up to this day I am still a believer. Simply the best club in all of London. It was our way of life. Privileged to have lived it.
Awol at paradise was special
I've been listening to this since 2001. It embodies every element of what Jungle music means to me.
I just bought a new receiver and have 2 cerwin Vega 15s as my low end and it is absolutely insane man. I feel like my ears went 27 years into the past. I was only 11 or 12 years old when this happened. Mind blowing!
27 years ago and we still understand. Amennnnn !!
The best few hours of jungle you will ever listen too.
The AWOL events were absolute peak jungle, its was never as good as this ever again
Born in the 80s.....raved in the 90s.....wow what a decade , Equinox to Wigan Pier to the Santuary and not forgetting Exodus.... when the pills were amazing 👏
90s will never be repeated
Never ever
Yea, true, but the energy has Def come back around now for a reason ❤❤❤
I remember my mum buying the tape deck and me ripping it for everybody at school..nuff respect to each and every one of you 🔥🔥👊
This set is glorious! Much ❤from 🇨🇦. The soundtrack of my teens
3 People hit thumbs down by accident!! The B line on Gachets last tune "touch my toes VIP" 😱😱😏🤗😘 every time!
Seriously miss these days of raving. The tunes, the clubs & the people you would meet, things will never be like that again. The golden era👍🏿👌🏿👏🏿
Agreed! How can anyone hit dislike on this set. Some people will never appreciate education!
You know that mate best days of my life ❤️
Yeah big up, best dayz of my life meeting many like minded bods and getting smashed up and dancing all nite!! 😀😀🤪🤪😀😀😍😍
Haha respect my man!!!!
Junglisit Soulja forever. This was one of the best.
The weirdest thing is looking 30yrs back, is that wherever this set is online, in the comments the people who were there all say yep this is exactly how it was, an some of the people who weren’t say it was dubbed, makes me feel lucky to have been there, when people can’t even imagine that was real
Two things from someone that was there. People kept shouting stuff into the microphones like the guy in the crowd at the start that says "wicked everytime". Sooooo they put the crowd noise on a loop. Second, the REST of the night was ridiculously epic. All the best minds in the business decided to make that night perfect. Lastly, the sound system at world dance was like this on steroids. Dredd bass sounded scary, I kid you not.
And...GQ used to MC - ALL NIGHT....which was until 10am 🤣🤣
It was real my son. As GW used to say for those who know, know !!!!. And we know
Missed 5 wkends from start, 91 - Sept 95. Changed my life, wouldn't have missed it for the world xxxxxx. MB.
I didn't go to all of them, but GQ uttered my favourite line of any rave, ever, "It's 4am. The doors are locked. And NO ONE is leaving"
I was only 18. Time of my life. Wouldn't have it any other way. We were so lucky.
On route to work and have literally gone round the roundabout twice after the rewind of Babylon. Jheez! Tears of joy and happiness.
To all you future non controlled, meditating healthily opened minded conscience people alive presently.
Much love, keep loving!!! Oh my gosh kicking up a literal amazing fuss for the drum and bass 160-180 Bpm movement back then, still incredible and cathartic innit
No way!!! This is the one! AAAAAA! It was loud-o!!😂😂😂🫡✌️🫡 bowm, bowm, bowm, bowm!!
I'm 51 and I'll still be smashing these tunes when I'm 61/71,nowadays I look like a jumper in a washing machine, but still got it man
😂😂👏🏻
Can still MC along with this almost word perfect!
Same here. Word for word. Lyric by lyric
And big junglemassive shout out from all the junglist in bonnie Scotland
Wow listen to that crowd! Gone are those days. Glad I experienced these times. 🙏
What can I say that ain't already been said, 45 now and hairs on neck stand when reliving these tunes omg it is second time round
Definitely my favourite GQ alongside man like Randall
Always
💯 % 🙌🏼
Wheel Up come again!
What a fooking night of vibes this was at Ministry.. the good bad and ugly of the jungle scene..moody and magnificent... Shok out...big up the Salt n Pepper crew...

Wasn't there, not a junglist...just loved and still do love this live recording - the energy is so intense 👍
you aint gonna get a selection of tunes anywhere near this in 2019 gives ya goose bumps
2020..and speakers still struggle with this set ...... The bass is something else...
That bass broke my car speakers. That set was nuts!
Its what made paradise the best place for jungle music.the bass went right through you.
Brrrrrrraaaaap! Jungle, a way of life! They say it’s coming bk? It never left!
Done know
54.38 the very best. Still have this on CD! Shame I didn’t get there but went to a lot of the raves in the late 90’s. at 40 I’m still listening to these tunes.
43 decided to listen on a tube with headphones. Found myself screwing my face up bobbing my head saying tuuuuuune in my head, had to catch myself...enjoyed for a bout 5seconds.
Mickey Finn at his best!! Can’t stop boppin my head to this
Any idea where I could purchase the CD
Me and my mate used to bounce these lyrics back and forth, flawless! Back in Dover as it goes 😮
Big up and 1❤ Allll (real) Junglist.

Proper tings, real jungle. 90s the whole scene was proper bk then. I'm glad I'm old enough to have experience the golden era of junglist. Those old enough knows what I'm saying. Respect for the upload my g, don't get raves like this no more. 🔥🔥💥🤟🏽👌🏽👊🏽😎😎😎
yes mate
No way my comment from another account years ago. I still feel the same about it too.💥💥💥👏🏾👏🏾
The soundtrack of an era, this was standard which all sets were measured by, people even bought the cd!
One of the best sets ever.
Booooom absolute classic miss these days so much it hurts 44 age but I still there baby don't even need to close my eyes to ones that know love ya probably see ya sometime somewhere saw ya❤
Da Micky Finn intro
This is exactly what is needed, what is missing in the hear n know. Ya better know!
Those whistles and horns are wild, loved those days with all my heart ❤️ 🎉
This..... Legendary!!!!! Music crowds and vibes just aint the same and probably won't ever be!!!! Grateful to have been apart of this badboi era!!!!!!
Perfectly worded comment/view on the good old days...Respect, bless and big up....Stay safe
Yup
I remember my neighbours and the curiosity of the jungle raver going mad ... Thing is that was a difficuilt thing to explain ??? When you think every two years a new scene came along it must just continue until it escapes and then its gone from view yet continues to exist in the youth ... ??
Back when MCs didn’t have massive egos. It was more for the Dj’s, the tunes and ravers.
When DJ's could spin tune and weave them in & out, interlocking, intelligent business.
The good old days 👊🏻
Wicked Kenny Ken man!
2020 ? This is my Saturday night bopp about in the kitchen 25 years later hahaha 💚🔥 gQ @ his finest
we are making new oldskool tunes in 2020 if you fancy checking them out.

Quality. Listen to the crowd, amazing
Can’t beat this and people were united through this sound old school never gets old ✊🏻
Absolute LEGEND night. Miss the energy of the parties in 94. Toronto Massive in tha place.
Thanks for posting!
The Memories 😁 Miss the Horns and Whistles in raves
Crazy, remember owning this cassette collection, Randall was the Don, can you handle the Randall!!! Always respected GQ, did no wrong ever! Thanks for this, perfect representation of that year
I was never there as I’m 36, but had the CD when it dropped and the chats that are dedicated to Mickey Finn were the best. Just spat them word for word again 20 years later!
Orig. from Los Angeles, was stationed at RAF Alconbury in '95. The first time I heard of 'jungle' music. It stays in my spotify rotation...STILL. 🔥
Fun times back then
Great to hear the crowd, horns and whistles on this mix - adds to the vibe!
Hope the roof was secure, this goes off.. When Randall comes in, well what a time to be alive.. Big tings iverytime
Used to rinse this CD back in the day. I practically know every lyric from GQ and Fearless off by heart!
The tunes, the mixing, the atmosphere are all perfect. Almost every track is a VIP mix made especially for the night.
The promoters of AWOL were also the people behind World Dance (big up Chris and Jay) - 2 of the very best jungle nights around.
I only wish I could have experienced this live. I've been to Ministry before, but only a house events. It was a quality club with a kickass sound system. Would have been amazing to hear jungle out of those speakers!
CD ? 🤣 I’ve still got it on tape
Seriously, I was at this event and I remembered GQ's "push it up" straight away. Goose bumps😂
" As we keep the sounds bubbling like soup in a pot, HOT HOT HOT 🔥🔥🔥 "
THIS IS HOW WE DO IT ...BACK IN THE DAY 😊👋 ooohhh yesss... THANKYOU for the upload 🎶🎶🎵✨✨
I feel so blessed to have been there the horns the vibes for miles were the best the horns today sound like ducks no deepness behind them thank you for the memories💕
I love jungle. ❤
what a night! one i will never forget... shout to everyone who had the pleasure of being there...
