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 🙏🏾
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 👊🏾
@@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.
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!
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 ❤
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.
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.
Dj Ron, my favorite Jungle dj, and it took me almost 30 years to know this aamaazing guy from when I bought a cd with “Original Nuttah” B I G U P from Mexico !!🇲🇽
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.
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 🙏
Amazing story of UK Apache's life! Growing up with original nutta been 1 of life's iconic tracks, it's so good to finally have all de gaps in de story filled in🙌🏼🙌🏼 Hopefully he continues along de path he feels happy with✌🏼✌🏼
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.
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 💥💥💥💥💥
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 👊
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 🙏🏾🎁❤️
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👌👍
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
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. 👍🏿
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). ✊🏿
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!!
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)
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 🎁
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.
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 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....
@@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.
Big respect to all dem nurses doing there thing still up to know . working hard still up now with low pay . Fuk the government. Bless up uk apache , big interview.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
@@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.
Sorry i have to say it because they keeping pushing it, but in Islam there is no music allowed. Just prayer recital So none of our wonderful cultures would exist. And no, music is not of the devil. Music is from God, as he created sound, frequency and harmony. It's natural. There is a reason music can uplift us. What's put IN the music is what counts, as we now know how perverse the holders of the music industry are. So while all these paid influencers keep pushing Islam, remember the reality it results in They worship the mood god of Babylon, there is no prophecy of Islam in The Bible
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
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 🙏

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.

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!
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
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.

if your dad is iraqi does that mean you are a babylon man?
Sorry i have to say it because they keeping pushing it,
but in Islam there is no music allowed. Just prayer recital
So none of our wonderful cultures would exist.
And no, music is not of the devil.
Music is from God, as he created sound, frequency and harmony.
It's natural.
There is a reason music can uplift us.
What's put IN the music is what counts,
as we now know how perverse the holders of the music industry are.
So while all these paid influencers keep pushing Islam, remember the reality it results in
They worship the mood god of Babylon, there is no prophecy of Islam in The Bible
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.
Get remark or Andy c on great show
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.
