Big up Kenny Ken, proper legend. Great to hear all your stories ❤️
One thing I'll say about lockdown. I was out raving from 92 to 08, then I had kids. Didn't go to a rave in all those years. After lockdown, I thought life's too short. Now I like to go out raving every couple of months and it's rejuvenating to get back. I don't give a F that I'm older, it's AWOL and the youngsters new to the jungle dnb scene show respect. That's what the scene was always about despite the dark years post 95. Once a raver always a raver. Much love all Jungle Kru!
Junglist Massive!
Ken
I met you in a club in Shaftesbury Avenue,with Carl from kickin records.
You played my tune on kiss fm I’m 97 for the first time on the airwaves.
After raving at the Paradise club every week since the beginning I finally got to hear MY tune played by you.
Mental health tore me down and only now realised your troubles as I thought that the you of all people didn’t have any.
Now I totally understand that I was just normal, growing up in Peckham a ghetto with shit going on.
And all I wanted to do was make music which brought people together.
Big love and massive respect to you Kenny Ken, good long time friend.
From the heart, you inspired a scene which is still to this day loved by millions and always loved by me.
Maybe one time we will meet so I can show my appreciation and to the one, the only….Kenny Ken ❤️
Pt
Sorry was reading your story. Must have been the kids button bashing
@@graemebloom3105 Cool I deleted my comment 😅
Loving this series..hands down the best podcasts out there for history lessons on our scene..get GQ on please!!
Thanks man and glad you’re enjoying them.
GQ "please, please, please". That would be "absolutely t for tremendous"
Not gonna lie i teared up on this one.... He's no Angel but he's our angel. Bless up
Love that! 😇
Ok I will admit it, I cried when Ken talked about his ex partner passing away.
These guys were my Marvel super hero's in the early and mid nineties.
My hairs were literally standing on end when Ron and Kenny talked about Groove and Randall from a technical viewpoint, because it was the same way we used to talk about all of them!
Keep this shit coming please.
Randall was the 1st jungle dj I heard of and it was a shout out !
Man me too. Lost a lot of people myself in the past 2 years. Got into drum and bass in '97. I was 17 then. I'm 42 now and things like this make mortality... life... it's precious yet fleeting and those who carry us through tough times won't always be there and vice versa.
The best part of this interview is the level of humanity. We always think our heroes have had such an easy life. Typically far from the truth. Bless you Kenny and Dj Ron for this. One day we will all Rage In Heaven!😊
I don't think I've ever heard anyone say a bad word about Kenny. What a guy. ❤💥
Would be great to hear your story too Ron. These interviews are like underground cultural history lessons, much appreciate the work.
Randall's mixing was on another level, just sublime and faultless
Defo!
Big up Mr Kenny Ken ! His life story reads like a Hollywood script 🙏
Original Don and Jungle Soundclash champion. Lost count of how many epic sets he done which I loved. Him and fearless at original JungleMania and his b2b with Randall at club junglist with fearless and bassman. Too many too mention. Respect. Quality stuff.
with every thing i have had to deal with.... the loss of my dad. go on kenny! pure legend
Sarsaparilla Don, DJ Ron!!!!
I saw a snip of the Hype interview and had to watch the whole thing. Completely hooked by this series. Started from the beginning and working my way through.
Didn't realise Kenny Ken was a real "bad man" in his youth. In a way, I'm glad he got chinned and realised crime wasn't the way for him no more.
It's hard to imagine that the people that bring so much to us through music have everyday normal lives and everyday issues.
The Rap episode was a big eye opener to the downwards spiral and thankfully, the belt snapped. You wouldn't think it from her amazing smile that she had big demons.
It's mad to hear the struggles, troubles and stories of how you all had to make it when nowadays it seems that anyone with a set of decks and a camera can become a DJ.
Big love to you and the rest of the crew for the dedication you all put it in to give us moments of musical heaven❤
Can't wait to hear your story Ron.
What a awesome guy even more respect for the man . cancer is a hard thing to deal with 🙏
He’s one of the nicest guys you’ll meet.
Thank you so much . I live in the states but I’ve been listening to Kenny Ken since late 2000/ early 2001. I used to buy mix cds from a guy at club Laga in Pittsburgh PA. Kenny and Andy C were the first 2 I bought .
That Jazz story made me shed a few tears .
Respect ✊🏽
Big up kenny ken another one of my fave drum and bass / jungle d.j's
Im glad ive stumbled upon this podcast d.j ron your doing a fab job im going through each episode religiously from your 1st episode bless up 👊🏽👍🏾
Thank you and glad you’re enjoying them.
Kenny blew the doors off of every party I saw him play 92-95 in 🇨🇦. And the bootleg tapes that somehow made it over... UK pirate radio kept us in new tunes :)
This is mad. I supported Kenny in Melbourne in 2017 on his Australian tour and you would never have know he lost a close friend. Such a gentleman and sick DJ who helped make the scene what it is today ❤
Ron Rogan out here! gotta say these interviews are becoming a bit of a history lesson for me keep em coming
Thanks man…Ron Rogan…now that’s a compliment ☺️
Compulsive viewing
@@LondonSomething1994 Many a great night hearing Kenny Ken at AWOL, mainly. I love hearing about the backgrounds of these legends of the scene. It brings a lot more context and depth to their character than just being a DJ. The thing I love about DJS like Kenny Ken is that they are very humble. Your podcasts really uncover the depths to their characters. Kenny Ken is very generous. He played for free at my mates 21st birthday party at his parents house in Huntingdon in 94. My mate was good friends with Kennys driver. He could have charged a fortune at that time. He was really cool with it and put on a great set. A true professional. Keep up the good work Ron. Think you know my mate Vincent Clohessy. He's from your manor.
the backstory to the Jungle Soundclash event is amazing for one... I'd seen an interview where Ron highlights the sparseness of mixing before but this puts even more meat on the bone. Big up.
Luv it, down to earth , Kenny ken
Shed a tear when Kenny was talking about his ex Kenny is lovely fella always was cool with the ravers at the dance
I was at the jungle soundclash and I’m surprised that noiseometer never fell off the wall when they said Kenny’s name, place literally erupted, most noise I’ve ever heard in a rave, then and still now, big up kenny ken, legend, would love to see him, and you Ron, come back to the underground jungle scene and play a proper old skool, Amen driven, jungle set, DJ Ron with a 94 Roast set at Rupture would be insane 🙏
Fuck old school sets when you got kid lib n Coco Bryce on the scene
Named my cat Kenny Ken
Love these stories!! These have to be chronicled even made into a film. Big up DJ Ron because I heard Kenny talk about his life in another interview but it never got into this much depth. This is so deep.
Thank you and look forward to delivering more in over the course of 2022 and onwards.
@@LondonSomething1994 Thanks once again!! Wishing you and all the crew a happy and healthy 2022!! X amount of respect for what you're doing!! Alarm Bell icon is ready!!
Again, what an interview. Big up Kenny Ken, original don.
Thanks for the support bro.

Used to love Paradise club, Busby's, Astoria, Roast, early raves in Dalston etc...
This story has to be to turned into a movie..big up kenny ken
Love this
The first rave I ever went to was AWOL @ Paradise Club in Islington. My friend was working behind the bar there and a couple of cars of us went up to check it out. Never looked back, such a good night. Kenny Ken was my favourite that night. It was near the end of AWOL's time at Paradise Club.
That was the one and pretty much only club I never attended and wish I had 😔
Once again Ron you smashed it with Kenny ! Now , I have seen a lot of Kenny Ken interviews , but this one was by far the best , so real and down to earth . Big up yourself Ron - A true legend in British culture
“Kenny Ken’s asking me if I’m ready. I was born ready”
Legendary
Man of Steel! That set changed my life, first tape I ever had 🎉
There is a video of Kenny Ken at the Roller Express sound clash on RUclips. 'Kenny Ken - Jungle Soundclash Champion - July 16th, 1994'

Captivating from start to finish...Brought back all tge memories of Growing up in Cedat Court and attending Upton House and being in the melting pot of Holly Street... Great work Ron.... and Kenny Ken Reeespect is due !!!!!!!!!
Imagine this as a film. From the estate to the jail to work to the culture. Typical story but a very honest version.
Wow! This is fantastic. Getting to hear someone you grew up listening to is amazing. Thank you
Another great interview Ron - Big up Ken !!!!
Best one yet!

This was amazing interview mad love to both of you legends 👊🏿
ROLLING WITH THE KENNY KEN EXPRESS .. ANOTHER EXCELLENT VIDEO .. BIG UP THE JUNGLE DON DJ RON !
Top class interview nice to see the other side of the scene
thank you for these interviews!
Another sick interview. So mad to put a face/personality to the names to ive been listening to for the last 25 years
Really good interview. Met Ken once up here in Leicester and is a nice guy. Nice work with the channel Ron 👍
These episodes keep getting better slowly getting through them.
Kenny ken a absolute legend along with all the others old skool d.j's
I raved from 92-95 then kinda fell of the scene went on to the garage thing but one thing's for sure only jungle / drum n bass ravers know how to rave
I once went to a garage rave at the que club in birmingham where i also went to jungle raves.
Boi i was bored shitless at the garage rave after the 1st 2 d.j's had played i was ready to bounce and go home unlike the jungle/drum n bass d.j's each would play a different set and play fredh tunes that the crowd would go menatl with.
Nowadays at the tender age of 50 the closes i get to that feeling of a rave is either driving back home late at night or if im in the gym running on tredmill then once the tunes kick in i go mental running faster until after when i stop and the aches and pains kick in 😂😂
I love reading these posts about you and others in their 50s being transported back that time by music.when I read them I feel more and more the impact the jungle scene had on your lives. It’s amazing!
Legendary Kenny Ken DJ Ron what a ting ⚡️
Realist interview ever, period. Mental health is real people look after yourselves
Good Interview Ron, big u!!! Kenny Ken "stand strong keep walking Forward". A real heartfelt interview.

Absolutely fascinating stuff, love Kenny but two names that were mentioned are a real blast from the past. Adrian Age and Mathew B!!!!
Yo,I've been following the scene since turntable orchestra,Marshall Jefferson and dem lot came thru although I'm only 42,bit younger than you lot. But boy,ken you made me cry when you spoke about jazz. literally touched my soul rude boy.in fact a lot of what you said about that period of your life I felt,cos I'm living the exact same. Wicked interview big up sasparilla kid dj ron mr mix an blen Kenny ken
Good to finally have an interview hosted by someone who actually knows their shizz, loved it. Legendary history is being told here.
Love these podcasts Ron. Lots of great stories to be told. Large up!
Am really pleased you and others are enjoying these.
Absolutely LOVED it! UP mi seh Family. 1
Buck buck buck buck buck buckaroo, ragamuffin dj passing through
Thanks Ron. Loving listening to this whole series. Paradise early one nation days ..lazerdrome. Loved going to every one.?it’s interesting to finally find out info and story’s on these djs . As we had no social media back then. If you want me to interview you got your series I’ll step up 😂😂😂 big up❤
Another great interview. Kenny's a legend in the game and love how he gives props to those he learned from!!! Bit off with the dates of the parties because
Fabio & Grooverider weren't at Rage in 86/87. Rage started about 88 and they started playing there around 91.
Love how you guys help fill in the gaps of history, its really helpful. I'd imagine you were def there in order to correct the dates and/ or you're a rave historian 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Fab & Groove played Rage at least as far back as April 89, could have been earlier but not listed. Names right there on the flyers on Phatmedia archive.
Fabio and Grooverider played as guest DJs at Rage one-off parties around 89. My point earlier was they weren't residents or "Running Rage" as Kenny put it until later and they definitely weren't playing there in 87
@@LondonSomething1994 Love the Podcast Ron. Great insight into you and your guests come up and helps join the dots in the history. Yes, I started buying 'House Music' around 85/86 if I don't include the earlier 'Garage' stuff
Also, a common misconception is that Fabio & Groove promoted Rage, when in fact it was long-time promoter Kevin Millins.
This is great! Fantastic work, Ron. Been a long time since first listening to one of your Roast sets on a tape when I was at school. I remember exactly where I was when I heard that tape and it quickly got copied and shared around, your name was the talk of the school haha. Looking forward to digging into the other videos!
Loved this. Great hearing Kennys story. Many ups and downs but something for everyone to learn. Ron your a don
Thanks for the love man and glad you enjoyed it.
Wow thanks for this deep interview. Massive Love for the one like the Mr Kenny Ken! ❤ Great questions and I feel a bit more part of the scene I've loved since 91. Thank you sir. Great work.
Really pleased you enjoyed it Joe and thanks for the kind words of support.
Another legend, great intro, its such a great tune in all its versions.
top man, blunt honesty :) its good to see some real life from back in the day
Thanks for sharing Ken, funny, moving, loved both parts of the interview, amazing journey big ups to you and shouts to Ron also, such a great series of interviews so far
Thanks support and really pleased you enjoyed it.
Wow, how have I only just discovered this channel. Big ups Ron 👊
Glad you’re enjoying it and thanks for the support ✨
massive interview! nice one ron, keep them coming.
Thanks Marcus am glad you're enjoying them.
These interviews are so good Ron! Probably the best I've seen for the Jungle and D&B scene. Yourself and Kenny also played an important role in my love of Jungle developing as a young teenager in the '90s. My first ever Jungle tape was Kenny at Vibealite in '94 and then I still remember to this day being at a house party in Wales and my friend and myself turning off the music so we could turn the radio on to listen to your Essential Mix on Radio 1 in '95! I think it was the first ever Jungle Essential Mix if I remember right?....On the radio note, why does nobody ever mention One in the Jungle? Being based in Wales we had tapes from the raves and that but One in the Jungle every Thursday night was all we had for Jungle on the radio. Some legendary bits from Stevie Hyper on those shows. Big ups Ron. Please keep these podcasts going!
Used to tune in to One in the Jungle every week, and being in Bristol it was always about recording the Roni Size and Krust Galaxy 101 sets.
Another great interview 👍🏾
Glad you enjoyed it.
fantastic interview, will definitely be watching more.
Thank you 🙏🏾
ANOTHER GREAT INTERVIEW!
Thank you.
Just found ron,s pod....The Drum&Bass Files. Been chasing the scene since day dot late 87, Love it 🙂 finn hype ken off to watch the other,s.
Love the series! Would like to see Congo Natty come on in the future
