Ed Rush & Optical's stuff ages so damn well. Imagine the current DnB with cheesy EDM vocals in 20 years time how cringey that will sound by comparison. You could listen to this in another 20 years and it will still sound like the perfect soundtrack to a futuristic horror sci-fi. The drop on this is ridiculous! I remember some time after its release in early 2000 Ray Keith dropping this at tinnitus-inducing volumes at Bar Rumba. People went APESHIT. THAT was DnB. In that moment. You can try to explain what DnB is to someone but no words can substitute actually experiencing a tune like this underground in a PACKED intimate club. The tumbling amens, the HUGE distorted Reese. He rewound it FOUR times. This is pure, uncut classic nasty DnB.
And dont I just fuckin know it!!!!....FEREALA......RESPECT TO ALL BREAK BOYS....ABERDEEN KRU...PAUL LAWSON O.B.B.J.......TILL DEATH AND BEYOND
You probably dont give a shit but does someone know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account??
I somehow lost my login password. I appreciate any tips you can give me
@Gatlin Duke Instablaster =)
@Martin Michael thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and Im trying it out now.
I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Martin Michael It worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much, you really help me out :D
when the bass first rips in on the break i really do cry tears of joy, still one of the finest tracks ever. along with the flipside!
if you remember going to a club and this being played then your life was worth it!!!!!!!
Don't remember it but it definitely happened
This track is my favorite one of all. It made me a dnb fan. But no one played it in clubs here. Then I think Andy C played it during his first visit in my country. I was shocked and thrilled at the same time. One of the top ten moments in my life.
I survivevd the massive speaker wall at the Q Club in Birmingham, walked into the room and this was just starting, and OMG I'm getting goosebumps remembering! My damn chest was vibrating, it was the best moment of the night, and the room was pretty much empty as we were some of the first through the doors, so we were in the perfect spot.
Ed Rush at the Black Swan in Bristol. Terrifying!
So true! I remember walking through the tunnel walking into Elevation 95 (camden) hearing The Terroist drop as I was coming up. That made my whole life worth living
got massively overshadowed by alien girl but for me this was even better! dont get me wrong alien girl was still immense, but this track was absolutely horrifying. the bass at 3:47 is just the most outrageous savageness ever. one of the best 12 inch's ever though where both sides were sick :D
epic tunery
EzFC legend
Ollie Duracell the tech step dnb around at this time was really good..you had ed rush and optical working on there virus album plus making beats like this with Nicole and trace and good stuff on 31 records to ..those were the days
I agree, love them both but I played Cutso out way more times as a dj than Alien Girl, so dirty.
champion style
Still makes the hairs on my neck stand up after all these years.
Probably my favorite track of all time
I'd love to see someone deploy this absolute roller out at a modern EDM festival and melt everyone's faces. It'd be like that SNL skit about the bass drop.
Still a Dance floor destroyer 25 years later 🔥🔥🔥. Stands the test of time this classic
Wot. A. Tune.
No doubt!
I remember buying this in a record shop in Soho. I was flicking through a stack of vinyl and a dude that worked there dropped this at the back of the pile. I saw it was a Prototype rec so just took a chance on it. Took it home and it was two of the best tunes from that era!
I SOLD IT TO YOU BRUDDER
Cutslo by Ed rush, is an updated beats version of Locust by Ed Rush, (Cutslo is an anagram of locust) and Locust was a more mid frequency version of the original source tune called Proton, which has the most Bass!! Back in ‘97 a tech step anthem, which used to destroy dancefloors. And the 3 mixes played all together at the same time is absolutely mind blowingly devastating!! 🙌🎵🎶💣🔥💥🎊🎉🙌🤩
I once saw an interview with Ed and he said he was in Germany playing this track and a guy in the crowd was headbutting the wall to it 😂😂
@@savagehenry4694 lol! 😂 they don’t make em like they used to!
Not many better experiences than hearing this late and loud in a club.
100%
I remember a DJ, who shall remain nameless 😂 playing this twice in his set at The End, cos he was a little, erm, ‘merry’. 👀😂 Me and my pals loved this tune, so his mistake was our gain. 👏🏼😊😂
@@leverdusoleiluk was it Andy C lol
The baddest of the bad! This tune still tears up dance floors 2021. Trust me 😉
Always. Everyone gets lost in that reece as it tears thru the dance
as of when this track was created , there was nothing out there that could touch it. it was on another level entirely. and still is
I have Tinnitus which I blame firmly on my love of loud Drum and Bass. I'll take never hearing silence again over never hearing this stuff played gut-wrenchingly loud in clubs back in the day.
true hardcore hero. xx
Nev Kaye you’re a proper soldier mate hope you ain’t suffering too much 🤩
Decent trade off I reckon Nev, we were lucky to be there back then, amazing times which can’t be replicated. 🙌🏼😊🙏🏼 Sorry about the tinnitus though, I get it intermittently and just try to ignore it. 😬😩
I’m 43 now, and I’ve learned two things in my time. The cure for hangovers is constantly drinking. The cure for tinnitus is constant bass 🍻
check your sinuses also smoking air quality and diet regularly.give it 10 years
this is the true drum and bass!!!!
I was there when this was first played at the Bluenote club. A moment I'll never forget.
I Was in Vancouver when this dropped. There with my future wife, a MacBook G3 and cubase VST 5. Found a friendly record store (with very big bass bins) who kindly played many of the new and upcoming D&B tunes for me to record, but fucked if i could get cubase to play ball, however i didn't let him know and pretended i was recording all this loverly fresh d&B. When he played this track, i just turned to him and said "I need this on vinyl!!" . Now living in Fuerteventura with my own bass bins, my children despite being obsessed with phones and all things pointless on the internet, I can confidently say they have been "educated".
This tune never gets old - and that 2nd drop - OMG!!!!
ad a Bryan Gee cassette recording of some V recordings night that me and my bro used to rinse. When it drops the MC shouts, "Bristol crew*...SCATTAH!" All the f***king vibes
the breakdown on this sounds like it's tearing space/time a new arsehole.
My G ♥
Now 40 odd looking back this tune is amazing! Just loose ya self in that drum beat!! Evil to the core!!
I hooked in when i was 16, now 32. all the good times we had back then, so glad i bought all this stuff on vinyl back then. Iam gonna pass it on to my kids.
little correction, this was before my time but my local record store had these classics, i only had to dig them up between the dust... timeless neuro to say the least.
2:17 is like a semi-drop! Sometimes I used to listen to this tune just for the intro... it takes you to another dimension!
Massive, this is THE SOUND we all waited to hear at the club back in the day.
Nearly 4 mins of intro then that bassline just destroys. And it's got that random Predator 2 sample thrown in. D&B perfection.
An unforgettable feeling when the bass hit and it felt all over the body. I am 43 years now but I still think it's the best piece of dnb next to The Messiah Konflict.
Messiah is possibly the only other track that could melt your face off from just the bass
96-99 best years of D&B feel sorry for the kids into it today they missed out harrrrrd!
Original tear out bad boy monster. What an effin tune, the bass drop at 3:46 kills everyone all the time, then to make sure they clean up with the drum track at 4:33. OTHER WORLD LIFE
TUUNNNNEEEEEEEEE
Top shelf 12" - both sides were murdering dance floors for a year on dub before we could get our hands on these 2 instant classics. Still got a couple copies to drop a needle on. Horribly compressed RUclips doesn't do music like this justice ;) - so you gotta rinse that beautiful vinyl on a banging' system and you're in business....Big ups Grooverider - bit ups the Ed Rush and the man they call Optical - brilliant era to have been a part of - cheers.
my favorite track of all time. i've been dj'ing dnb since 1998
This tune stands up against anything produced today. I bought this for Alien Girl originally......
The sickest, heaviest drop of them all.....
Best DnB tune of all time! It's almost like 3 in 1 & I just never get sick of it! Amazing to mix (if you understand my 3 in 1) as you can mix in & out! There ain't many tunes that can even compete with this base line & I agree this pips Alien Girl too - Which is also in a league of it's own
The reese in this song is breathtaking. Massive
One of the greatest Dnb tracks ever made.
It still and always will do damage in clubs
End club Tottenham court road 97/98. Suffocating under the weight of that Reece bass. Good times!!!
West Central street the end what a club the nostalgia 😉
You could actual look into the booth. It was a cosy place. Loved raving down there. Big up!!
@@sicksideworldwide1599 You know the score!!
Heard Andy C drop this on of the first plates @ The End 97/98 - That system, oh my.
Love the predator 2 sample, top tune
A geezer called Taro nicked my copy of this along with dillinja's hard noize in Norwich in 1998 where are you Taro!???
Pinned Bro, lets bring this vinyl thief to Justice! Lol
Taro, you though you'd got away with it!
I had my "Snapshot / 26 Bass" pinched on a certain day, not sure by who...I have my suspicions.
PhantomAudio83 yeah man we’ve both been done by filthy vinyl thieves by the sounds of it. Don’t worry their punishment will be an eternity of listing to cheesy house and euro techno. 😜
@@dantaylor2287 Pmsl 😂😂😂😂😂.
Now that's what I call Vinyl Justice !!!
I'm Taro I played this until there where no grooves left now it's my plate for sausage and mash
Marc Casburn damn you sir! 😜
THEY CREATED THIER OWN SOUND THATS WHAT MADE THE EXEMPLARY
That bass.... oh my god that beautiful bass!
It's 17 years ago, you're at Movement at Mass, the end of the night and the lights have just come on. DJ reaches for one more:
BWAAA-BWAA-BWAA-BWA-BWAAAAAAARN-BWA...
i loved mass, you know bro, you know,
Metalheadz, Bluenote Sunday nights ...where u heard all the tunes first!
lool
My original boy - dem man Trace, Ed, Optical, Fierce, Ryme Time, nothing can come close ever since - BELIEVE - HOLD TIGHT NICO - BIG LOVE ALL ORIGINAL MASSIVE - YOU DONE KNOW
56yo. Can t miss this masterpiece! dancing again and again and again
Number one d&b track for me.
this tune is like a babysitter of D&B... it hurts, it keeps pounding, but we cant say no....
What are you on about mate?
Still smashes it out of the park in 2019
2020 and this one's still well lit🔥
And always will do!
4.33 is a long intro, but well worth it, I will never forget the suspense that reece gave me the 1st time I heard this before that drop!
how can you NOT get goose bumps...!!
Mixes so well with quadrant six.
wish i had a time machine so i could take in that show! i was living in L.A. when I first heard this... i thought I was listening to music from another dimension...
That Vinyl is really Bad ASS, Cutslo and Alien girl on the other side are just amazing, So old school but so Freshh
the best part is this samples predator 2....other world lifeforms . actually, that isn't the best part but God damn I've listened to this for 23 years and can't stop
Possible the best 12inch DnB record ever!
Best served nice and phat at the Santuary - know that
Absolute bangger of a tune !And to top it off the other side Alien Girl is a monster ! There haven't been many presses over the years with both A&B sides this good in my opinion peace out 🙏
something about this thats just nostalgic A.F
Still remember groove smashing it at urban flava (Dundee).....grooveriderz 1st time playing jockland round about 96 or 97.......his last tune....BOYMERANG .....STILL....DOM AND ROLAND VIP.......MAN WAS DOWN THE LEFT HAND SPEAKER REPRESENTING TO THE FULLEST!!!!DEM WAZ THE NIGHTS.....RESPECT TO ALL BREAK BOYS AND GALZ......
Flashback is a shiver and tingling in my jaw. Just like yesterday.
Takes me back that -remember one of those riffs from a no u-turn album. Torque? reece is the word! (maybe the Boymerang remix of Technology...) hahah. I'm allergic to most modern D&B - due in the most part to the high dairy content. blerrrrgh.
awesome tune, crispy highs and beeeefy lows. nice samples as well. ooof....
This stomps locust.. which is a great track in its own right .. absolute monster this one....💯🔥💪
this was like the best song edrush did when I was in silly school.
I remember hearing this on a dub plate when Ed and Matt played to a nearly empty room in Chicago circa 1998. I had heard whispers about the Locust remix and this didn't disappoint. The twenty or so of us there liked it. The original is also massively overlooked.
Such a classic! Remember this tune so well from the late nineties.
always enjoyed mixing and cutting this up from shadow boxing and the Johnny L's piper track iirc.
killer tune! what a classic this one is! so dark and deep
Ed and O are my go too.
Yessssss ! No more needs to be said. There will be many no's....but for me ...its a big PHAT yes !
Ten people had to draw for their blanket and call for their mum!
This is what its about classic dark dnb!!!!
I believe that this tune, and its predecessor, Locust (1997), mark a definitive evolution between jungle and drum & bass. Between '97 and '98, the Jungle inception occurred, and jungle buried itself deep inside the new exoskeleton of DnB. The swinging Amen breakbeat gave way to the dark, insistent, hard stepping march of DnB... (/end nerd rant)
No U-Turn and Renegade Hardware were doing it earlier, about 1995, but yeah it all came together around here and matured into something fucking monstrous.
If you attended the Blue Note you saw/heard the evolution, i was one of the lucky ones who were there.
You're about three years out
Proton by ed rush before was actually the original locust. Just way bassier on the filterz
@@gildasgrime7808 Care to elaborate?
BEST TRACK EVA
Raved many a night to this beast classic track
Same here big up!!
proper drum and bass, making me feel old. lol
Age is irrelevant, cos the new stuff today is fucking shit brah. This era was the pinnacle of music.
There's 2 questions that prove someone's old.
1. Do you know Cutslo?
2. Did you wank over magazines?
Vocal sample from Gary busey predator 2
Один из первых купленных мною в 99 году
Quand j'ai écouté ça la première fois j'ai pris gifle 👊👊👊👊
Sunday nights at the Bluenote....nuff said!
Hoxton crew!!!
This was one of THE tunes Andy c played at XOYO!
Used to mix Ed Rush and Optical- capsule into this .Boom. One of the best DnB tunes ever, without doubt.
Still a banger in 2024
pure love
absolute classic
this is working with my memories a lot...
Still one of my favourite bangers 25 years on.
SICK TUNE ❤
1998 and 2005 where the golden years of drum n bass. roll on, these years where funky AF.
When i bought this back in my pirate days , i couldnt leave it out of a d n b set. Incendury 😈😈😈😈😈 !!! .
Great track! this bass stab comes from Korg Prophecy (Space Bee preset).
SLAMMER I USED TO BSNG THIS OUT WITH TWO LOW CERWIN VEGA 12 SUBS THE WHOLE STREET WAS FEELING IT
Nice remix to a beast of a tune!
This is the theme music that plays when gods are fighting!
Awesome bassline
A deadhead who loves DNB. I thought I was the only one. Big up!
Big up yourself!
LIGHTER CREW - CAN I GET AN L DURING LOCKDOWN - OH MY GOSH - FIREEEEEEEEEEEE
Love it
