Full respect to UK Apache for stepping up and caring for his relatives. Leading by example.
UK Apache needs to be recognised, absolute legend in British Culture. These vids are the bomb man. Respect. Keep it up.
As an asain listening to Jungle music in school, Original Nuttah was my favourite track on Jungle Hits 1. However, more importantly, hearing that UK Apache was asain too made the music feel more accessible to me because someone I could identify with was actively contributing to the scene.
Thank you, UK Apache, and big up Ron as always 🙏🏾
Repect to UK Apache, him and Shy produced the greatest Jungle anthem, and London/UK tunes
of all time. Always thought he was from Bangladesh. Big up Ron and The London something crew for giving us an insight on the bricks and foundations of our music!
💯💯💯💯💯
I was lucky enough to meet UK Apache at a rave in Milton Keynes when he did a live PA with Phantasy. As British Indian, I looked up to UK Apache as a young buck and cos of him and Original Nuttah its one of the reasons why I have been a Junglist for approx 30 years or so. Love to all Junglists round the world 👊🏾
What a testament ❤ wow

I miss The Sanctuary
@@justinholmes5614 They damn sure were the good old days. Im lucky enough to be from Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire which is pretty much next to Milton Keynes 👊🏾
I am Puerto Rican from NYC. Was a skin in the early 80's. We were influenced by English skinheads that listened to ska, two tone, Oi!, and punk. We often fought the Nazi skins that mostly came from Long Island and New Jersey suburbs. I started working in clubs in NYC that played House music. Which became my journey into the rave scene ie The Limelight club. And later on jungle. And naturally living in Brooklyn we had Hip Hop and dancehall. I finally went to London in 2018 a dream come true. Visiting the places I heard of as a kid. I wish I was there now. About to miss David Rodigan play. And about to miss Dillinja playing in Brixton. NYC use to be the place for all things important. Not anymore.
Interesting, your right bout new York but everything everywhere gone dull .....
@@ratedr4057 I can't wait to get back to England. I am 55 and in the 80's to the late 00's NYC had it all. We are the small fish in the big pond now.
That is a pretty amazing story! Crazy journey all the way to get to the UK and jungle.
Amazing again Ron. Watch these religiously and there's never been a better DnB/jungle podcast.
Seconded
Thank you so much for the support and am really pleased you and others are enjoying the podcasts.
Ohh Blesss him❤..wot a journey ..
He sure wants the Truth out there and wot better time than now.🥳 you got defensive tho Ron but What a lovely ending. Big up for that support 👏👏👏❤❤❤
Release the Album 💥💥💥💥💥
RESPECT UK APACHE!
OH RON! You've smashed it, what a way to switch YT on!
Another great interview Ron. Big up UK Apache. I know how hard it is being the main carer for someone dying from cancer. I am really happy things are good for him now ❤
Thank you and thank you again 🙏🏾
I am 48 years old and from Tooting Bec. I used to buck this brotha regularly on Upper Tooting road and he was always humble, respectful and we used to have short meaningful conversations 🙏
Thank you for your contribution to the scene brother. We f£&kin love you
💯 Real talk , no ego , just putting things down, as it is !!
uk Apathe been on a journey . Good to hear his Story after all these years ! 🔥🔥
Great interview as usual, big up UK Apache and Ron🖤🤍💚❤️Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Thank you

Thank man and big up my Mexico Junglist crew 👊🏾
YES YES. BIG UP DJ RON & UK APACHE🔥🔥🔥🔥 BIG UP ALL JUNGLISTS 👊🏾
Big up 👊🏾
UK Apache should release that album.
That tune wouldnt be a hit without ya vocals mate! Nuff respect!
London's melting pot created some of the most amazing talent. UK Apache's story is so unique and his legacy lives on. There were very few Asian and Arab MCs in the scene back then. UK Apache being one of them, there was MC Riddla D, MC Mighty Moe, MC Spidey G, MC Hyperactive, MC Skanker, and, MC Magika. Credit to them all for repping! Such a shame UK Apache gave it all up! Surely, he has to make a comeback.
Big up all those listed and others who by their work represented their heritage.
@@LondonSomething1994 Indeed! It was nice to be introduced to different cultures and see how the music brought us together.
Asian man got fkal out of UK in the music or sports scene. These man are very territorial with the opportunities in this game same as when the goras don't give clever Asians the good jobs with good wages. They scared of us lot when we are good at something here.
Thank you, I've always wondered about UK Apache's journey. Big up to you both from the 🇨🇦 massive ❤. Jungle resonated with Canada's multicultural vibe and we couldn't get enough, Nutter blew us away when the first Kool tapes with it on made it across the Atlantic.
Our pleasure!
Great interview, uk apache always been a likeable character

Such a nice guy and so humble. These stories need to be told & heard. Abdul It's never too late to have your solo album out so go for it. Thank you Ron for this one.
Yes it’s defo never too late. Thanks for supporting the channel. 🎁
Deep interview, well interviewed. Extraordinary artist and human being. Enjoyed that and learnt a lot about Apache (more so than the 30 odd years I’ve known him). ✊🏿
I’m 49 and grew up with jungle hardcore and dnb and it’s good to see faces to the voices and dj sets 🙏🏽😎👊🏽
Fascinating interview! Big up UK Apache.
Thanks for this ron. Keep the big icons in scene coming. Would love to see eksman herbzie riddla fatman all the stars come on the show inshallah (god willing)
Great interview, a genuine, humble and talented guy
Another great interview Ron, U.k Apache
Another fantastic instalment of what’s easily my favourite podcast. Uk Apache’s story is SO LONDON yet So Human. This was a great interview. Respect Ron
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it! Means a lot to me to hear and get these comments even though I sometimes don’t get to reply to them all I’m still truly grateful 🙏🏾🎁❤️
I was wondering when UK Apache would mention David Boomah in this. I first met both of them at Music House in north London. I know them as sparring partners from early nineties. Big up UK Apache and respect Ron 👊
Big up Ron & UK Apache, quality content 🫶🏽 "alright mate, stop gassin mate" 🫶🏽😎🫶🏽
Thanks though. 👊🏾
Once again dj Ron the dapper don delivers another bang on interview always good to hear what really went on back in the day respect to you and the one and only original nuttah👌👍

Really good interview … still have the 12 of original nuttah somewhere - which I picked up 94/95
Such an amazing interview, top work as always Ron.
And UK Apache, what a fantastic individual.
Thanks for listening 🙏🏾

Big up DJ Ron bringing another great guest. I really enjoyed this one some real deep talks and insight of UK Apaches life. I’ve still have some of his music on vinyl. Keep up the good work. 👍🏿
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for supporting. 👊🏾
BIG UP UK APACHE AND DJ RON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
Big up yourself 👊🏾
He’s a legend! As a 14 year old kid in 94 I remember hearing him for the first time with Original Nuttah being the intro tune on the “Jungle Mania 94” CD.. Still gives me goosebumps thinking of hearing that for the first time.. That early era of ragga jungle was a special time.. Loved those early tunes, it really weren’t long before the whole production changed and it was out with the old, in with the new
Yea 4 real ..those goosbumps ❤
Light it Up!! Top interview!
Thank you 🙏🏾
Fascinating - love your interviews xR
Thanks Ruby 🎁
Great interview as always Ron, big Up Uk Apache, really interesting journey. Keep doing as you do!!!!

This is a great episode, UK Apache a great person. Xxxx
Glad you enjoyed it 🎁
I saw UK apache live in 1992 at club UN, Bhangra special, Tottenham, anyone remember know that was one massive show
What a top man apache is. And thank you once again Ron, another fantastic interview. You have a fantastic ability at letting others speak whilst guiding them towards certain topics and creating rapport. I love hearing your history as well! Someone needs to interview you!!
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it.
This should be BIG
Respect Ron, another brilliant interview. I remember Uk Apache performing "Junglist Girls" on Badass TV on channel 4 back in the day
Tooting man dem ...bevin man dem ...🙏🙏❤️
The translation to english is jokes...
LARGE UP APACHE - My Original Nuttah dubplate will NEVER grow old - TIMELESS N PRICELESS®™
Great interview, 2 humble legends of the scene. Just a shame we had to wait 30yrs to hear UK Apache's experience of how things were at the time. 🙏
Thank you 🙏🏾
Truths are coming out that's why
❤😅❤
Good interview, again 👍
Thanks for listening
As a Tooting lad and massive Junglist from back in day, this is by far my fav interview.
It was always Bevin' vs Furzedown - I love reminiscing about those days!
Ron I loved the way you kept pulling up the interview as insight hit you,
as it captured key moments and connected the dots of the conversation.
I was lucky enough to see Outlook Orchestra @ Royal Festival hall.
We had no idea UK Apache was the special guest, trust he tore down the place like an oldskool sweatbox AWOL,
as good then - if not better.
I appreciate the candour and honesty of Apache opening up about his family and musical challenges.
I love the sentiment of him having no regrets and not dwelling on what could've been from a financial POV.
hindsight's a b*tch - if only's a story we can all relate to!
Keep the interviews rollin'.
D.
I think Apachi probably did himself a favour walking away when he did and finding something deeper. The likelihood of him ending up a one hit wonder like Levi was high and would have just lead to frustration. Junglist Girls was a much weaker record than Nuttah was and only a year later the whole ragga jungle fad was over and it was Goldie / Photek and Bukems time in the sunshine with a more "refined" version of jungle / fledging dnb. Big up the man dem! Really enjoyed this interview. He seems to good / honest for the music industry anyway.
Not necessarily the goldie era, the scene split, you had the v/chronic/formation ect stuff that spawned the hip hop jump up dnb and you had the darker metalheadz/source direct/ no u turn type of stuff....
@@dj_adam_g_uk I'm talking about the commercial success side of things. Goldie had a hit with Inner city life in 94' and from then things went down that route pretty quick - i.e. ragga went out the window. Then u had Roni Size / Reprezent in 95 / 96 and at the same time Bukem's sound blew up too. Anyway, details. :) Short story - Apachi would probably not have been in the game for long with the Ragga ting.
Bookem has been around since before. DJ Blame and Prodigy all had jungle songs
@@markuseden2105
Prodigy's Charlie was drum and bass so was Rythm of Life and I'm sure they had a couple more
@@BobbyDeniroX that was more hardcore, before jungle...
Was lucky to see UK Apache at Hammersmith with Fabio & Grooverider in January
BACK IN TIME, Remember you chirpsin my auntie jackie... *BIG-UPS!!!! APACHE* Hope you are well ♾
Me or him 🤦🏾♂️
Wow! Big ups to the Original Mandem, Original Nuttah UK Apache. I had always wondered why there wasn’t more music from him. His voice is so iconic. I wish he would do more music. He would smash it all over again.
Perhaps there will be a body of work to come. There are many who would love to hear it.
Really liking this episode, i was actually singing original nutah last week and my 15 yeer old daughter said errr dad how do u know that tune.😮kids think they invented dnb😅
😂😭🤣 I just chuckled to myself imagining your child’s face as you’re singing “I am the Nutter….” Love this ❤️
Haha that's funny I can imagine that 😂❤
Junglist Girls, Dubplate and Gimme De Gal, stonecold classics from The Original Nuttah❤❤❤
So here is another example of why I respect you so much Ron. Big up Uk Apache for doing this interview, for sharing his feelings surrounding him leaving the scene and for being open to hearing a different take on certain things.
I did want to point out that there was a section of this interview where UK Apache was speaking more from the heart and his hurt feelings vs from a factual standpoint. 99% of interviewers would have just let Apache continue on. Some might have even used his words to create some clickbait around his hurt feelings to get viewers. Big ups to Ron for stopping to ensure that Apache understood that he was incorrect with his narrative. This can only help him heal from a difficult situation that occurred in the past but is clearly still something that he is holding on to (I would to, no judgement here)
Top notch interview once again. Big up both of you for the amazing things you have both done thus far on this blue marble. Can’t wait to hear more from you both.
Thank you for your observation and kind words to us both. It was and to a degree is still a challenging period for him to recount but with alternative POVs for him to consider him and others can learn from his experience. Thank you for your supports, it’s genuinely appreciated 🎁
Can’t wait for the next one!
Cool interview, so sad hearing about the dementia situation. It's a heart breaking situation to go through and I feel for anyone going through it.
Thankfully he was there to care for his mum and grandmother during both their difficult times 🙏🏾❤️🕊️
UK Apache, always real! Great chat, love the journey!
There was an interesting word used in the interview used to describe the consequences that came about following the huge decision UK made in the early stages of his career "Accountability"... While that is fair in some regards, shouldn't we also use the term "Responsibility" when in comes to some of the influential elements surrounding UK at the time. Some people clearly took advantage of the situation, shouldn't they also be considered?
You’re absolutely right. We’ve discussed off camera pre and post the episode how important it is to have trustworthy representation in this industry and any other legal undertaking.
The fates of so many at that time were left at the mercy of those who with hindsight only had their own interest at heart.
Wow
Awesome content as usual big up Ron and UK APACHE .....
PS . The West End Dj discount code doesn't work 😢
Thank you. Please contact me at info@londonsomething.com to let me know what happened as that code should be working. I’ll get it resolved for you.
I’ve just made WEDJ aware and this is being resolved. Please try again on Monday. Apologies for the inconvenience.
Amen ❤ lord jesus christ
Another real Junglist legend on the interview chair.
Every rave at that time was nuts when his tune dropped, always a rewind called.
The best days 👌
Mate he’s old Skool form his song original nuttah!!!🔥🔥🔥
Anyone interested in the Skinhead culture thing that Ron mentions in the beginning - watch SKINHEAD by Don Letts! Recommended!
Thank you for clarifying the name of the doc.
I would love to make some riddims with UK Apache.
He’s doesn’t have a social media profile but sure he’d appreciate the love of someone wanting to work with him.
@@LondonSomething1994 would epic if all came into fruition
deep
It was
Being a uk garage fan (the early stuff) I know that mj cole started off as an engineer for sour records, I wonder was he anything to do with the original nuttah production? I believe he made a few drum n bass tracks before he switched to the evolving garage sound too, that guys a musical genius so wouldn’t surprise me, in regards to original nutrah I’m def hearing a bit of cypress hill I wanna get high in there lol then again that’s prob nabbed from somewhere too lol
I didn’t know that about MJ Cole. Very interesting 🤔☺️
Nuff Respect. Concerning that skinhead culture, check the documentary about it made by Don Letts for tv.
Oh really! Don Letts was mentioned to me just yesterday in another context. Thanks for the heads up, I’ll try to find it. 🙏🏾
UK Apache is of course correct in stating that many MCs were blocked by the Jungle DnB and Garage elites in the late 1990s into the 2000s. The frustration was turned positive when that pressure produced the Grime movement.
UK Apache is a super humble brother. It’s a shame that his comments and feelings on Gaza and Palestine were not developed, was this a deliberate act of censorship? People are saying this platform is compromised in this regards cos Rinse FM is linked to Sony.
No re your question on censorship. This platform has no affiliation to Rinse FM apart from its first three episodes being filmed in their studio in 2018.
Thanks for the reply. Of course, anxieties in this regards can be present even if there’s not formal relation to racist capitalist interests who are hostile to Palestine. You said you would chat about Palestine with UK Apache later in the chat, and then there’s nothing. So perhaps you can appreciate the lack of confidence here. If you don’t mind the question: why didn’t you pursue that line of chat when clearly UK Apache is so motivated on the issue?
Also, the bit where you got annoyed at UK Apache calling out the discrimination and shadiness in the industry at circa 1hr 15mins had some edits which raised an eyebrow in me, as it were.
As I recall he didn’t bring back up the conflict in our filmed conversation. With close to 30 episodes broadcast I’ve made all the executive decisions on the final cut based on a plethora of reasons.
FREE PALESTINE XXX
Sorry Ron but this is the first interview I seen you do where I think you was chatting shit, trying to say there was no politics in the scene is laughable at best
Yes when rap said she had death threats says it all, let’s not forget 5ive with his public service announcements and then himself cancelled by the whole scene
He does it in his other interviews too, especially with the newer artists as he tries to be politically correct rather than call them out!!!
@@daddysyoutube2734 cancelled for a reason
Please send the timecode of part where I said there was no politics and I’ll respond.
@@LondonSomething1994 why don’t you discuss the politics then one time as these are the things that people want to know about!! Seems like there’s this radio silence whenever and fear of upsetting any of the OG’s of the game. It was 30 years ago, people change so it’s no reflection on them now. Good journalists, podcasters ask the difficult questions and not just stroking each others egos about how great everything was!
Ron bro. I have stopped at 1hr 16mins to say: you are way too defensive towards UK Apache, you are way too much pushing back at his own testimonial and right to assert his narrative and experience. Your comment about telling him what you tell your kids is patronising and I feel embarrassed for you. It’s really cringe watching to see you come across like you are squashing UK Apache and his right to say his own history. Not on bro. Really saddening and disappointing.
Appreciate your opinion all the same.
Agreed
Where is 5 0?
Blacklisted and cut out of the scene; was accused of rape done some remand and then boycotted by everyone . Money over loyalty
A true skinhead loves Trojan music not all are racist what has race got to do with this podcast it's about music peace to all black white and Indian ☮️
He was going back to his life’s experience growing up where skinheads were a problem, it was one of the experiences that helped shape him into the man and artist he is today. He wasn’t slating all skinheads. It was quite clear what he said. Learn to listen to other people’s perspectives rather than hearing and understanding nothing 🙏
@@junebugsmithington peace be with you
@@junebugsmithington I did listen to every word no need to spit ya dummy out
@@junebugsmithington 🙏☮️ out man
Trojan music was started by an Indian / Jamaican too.
31:20 Jay Z records his lyrics from memory nothing written down.
Yea but he's a clone😂
if your dad is iraqi does that mean you are a babylon man?
To suggest there was no politics in the scene is ludicrous, dj rap confirmed this and also det did in this very same podcast series. The same can be said about uk garage scene with the youngers like Wiley and co which led off to a whole genre split.
As for the major test for uk apache, this was a major failing from the Muslim community who should have had a support network for himself and his grandmother and mother during that turbulent time. One cannot even fathom how difficult that must of been and this really doe take a chunk out of sometimes life away.
Given Muslims are so supposedly organised when it comes to aid charity in war conflicts what was to stop them from helping him out with some aid to relieve someone so well known in this scene and community ? Yes we all we have difficult struggles but a helping hand doesn’t go to far.
As for the issue of the duress and such, Abdul wahab if you are reading then sadly they mislead you to an extreme understanding of this. The issue of duress and lesser of the two evils has complex environments from which a jurisdiction would never allow one to engage in fisq. And this blame really could have been prevented from people who mostly wealthy and make money via Islam in the media etc.
Not calling out names ,but those who ask the ummah to fund their camera equipment etc for their RUclips could have donated some charity to Abdul Wahab. So for those that know, this is the fault of the madkhali and ikhwani movements down south London.
May Allah grant you sabr and thabat for your enduring times of difficulties and elevate your status, music is a great difficult thing to give up and especially granted you are at the status you were.
Much love since 94.
What a load of rubbish
Ron….GAFFER you don’t know skinheads first of da rude boys that danced to ska and reggae
You must have missed Madness on Top of the Pops. Horrible skinheads are horrible skinheads
Exactly my point. Thanks as not all were bad.
