Hype’s right, he should be credited more for being a founding father of the sound that became jungle / drum and bass. He’s a legend. Loud and to the point and not a show off. Bring back the funk and bass. All the tunes he put out are original sounding and full of flavour and funk. Hype hype hype. Nice one Ron for the interview.
Andy C is more diplomatic. 😂
@@bigtwentytwenty Dj Rap is better looking
I completely agree. But I would also say if you were a kid who was slightly to young to go to those huge raves (Dreamscape etc) but bought the tape packs. HYPE’s was ALWAYS one of the stand outs. Certainly was with all my mates in 93/94/95 time period
@@sygboe1 🤣
Anyone who respects and knows the history and culture will absolutely give Hype his dues.
This interview is amazing....Hype is a fascinating guy.....Big up Ron for this interview series 👍🏾
You're welcome and thanks for the supporting.
This has gotta be the most interesting podcast iv seen. true legend and so humble
Thanks Gemma and really pleased you enjoyed it.
One of the mad things I've always thought about d&b is how you can find truly amazing tunes that never became massive, real masterpieces. The fact this interview doesn't have thousands of likes is amazing to me. Not only is Hype about as genuine as they come, but Ron is one of the very few interviewers that can get those sorts of emotions out of his guests, by paying attention and knowing when to be quiet. You know it's connected when you feel the same emotion as when Hype was talking about Leon. This is superb, well done 👍
Thanks for the kind words John and so true about music that goes under the radar. I suppose that’s where as a Dj you could carve out a very serious selection of bangers that no one knows about. 💥
i cannot get enough of these interviews. The honesty is powerful.
Really pleased for the positive feedback. Thanks man.
I always wondered why it was hard to see Hype play in the early 90’s. I saw Hype play at Monroes in Southend and he was playing two records of Terminator as we walked in. I can still picture it now.
Amazing! Hype was one of the biggest when I was going out Helter-skelter in the rollers 98 -99 that's to me big! everyone loves dj hype!! No one else plays like dj hype! Respect! ❤
Mate, you had a big influence on a lot of people including myself, a 49 year old producer of old..
Leon cut my dubs at music house, and I gave them out to kenny Ken and Micky Finn who played them on kiss down the Holloway Road.
Got a deal with Kickin records and even got interviewed on kiss back in the day.Couldn’t take the knocks like you did but look back happy to be part of the vibe that was created and I worked so hard to be part of.
You have been an integral part of the scene and deserve all the respect that you receive.
A lot of people come from the same place you do, the reggae vibe that Rodigan served up to us on radio London, the hip hop vibe that was brought to us by the likes of Mike Allen, which seems kind of cheesy looking back 😂
You amalgamated that vibe and made people like us realise that all the music we had listened to in our younger years was a future music genre.
Big up yourself DJ Hype
What were you recording as? I've probably got your stuff myself. Hashtag hoarder. 😂👍
I really don’t know why Hype hasn’t been credited he’s deserve. He’s put so much into the scene from the beginnings of the Hardcore/ Jungle era. In the 90’s he was on every big rave flyer - Dreamscape, Helter Skelter, World Dance etc
Same! To me he was always a big dog.
Interesting how he mentions about being booked more up north. I used to notice that he was a firm favorite at the more ravey events like Helter Skelter/Dreamscape, yet he played ghetto compared to the Slipmatts of the world. Great interview
But some 93 and 94 tapes were happier than he's known for, just like you'd hear Slipmatt playing darkside at some events. Even Grooverider would drop a piano tune occasionally.
Saw Hype play in Liverpool 20 years ago and was blown away. Prior to that he was always the first tape you'd draw from the pack. Big up Hype! Still listening after 25 years.
Shot In The Dark was one of the first records I bought in period. I always thought that Hype's name and sound worked so well with the art direction of Subbase at the time. Good times!
Great getting to know Hype, wish more was spoken about his turntablism roots.
I'll never forget the kindness shown to me by Hype back in the day, he let me cut what are still some of my most prized possessions, his Funkula remix and Godfather remix, I'll never forget the faces on some big faces in Music House. I was nobody, but he gave me his time and advice through many phone calls. A true gent and I will always feel blessed to have been able to scratch the surface and albeit briefly, get a real insight to the real Kevin Ford. Big up yourself as well Ron, your dubs are in the same pile, another true gentleman devoid of ego...
What an interview - salute salute salute. Hype's drum programming on those early Ganja-era tunes is untouchable - as good as anyone ever did. Rinse Out, Roll Da Beats remix and on and on. Killer productions.
One thing I love about the scene is its built from the ground up. We dont want or need some BBC documentary about Jungle, we want and and need exactly this. So thank you for it.
POWERZ!💯🎤🕺🏿
Big up DJ Hype, what an absolute G…🙏🏾
Tell Hype it was JB- Jason Ball- Back 2 Basics- who was AKA Dred Bass. Asend & Ultravibe made 'What Kind Of World'. From Mel @ SRD. Never seen Hype look so good- loved this- thank you! & sorry I left b4 138 trek came out- I'm dying of shame.
Yes Mel! 😎👍 We miss JB and Spice stuff, please get Back 2 Basics to re-release all that catalogue for the CDJ era if you can, Second Movement, anything which came out through SRD to be fair! Vinyl rips don't do it justice in the events!
Jason @ Back 2 Basics Wednesbury absolutely smashed it 94-95
45 years young now and still listening to the music now. 94 to 98 were the best years for me personally. Only just in 2020 bought my own decks and started collecting vinyl from that era. Never could afford it before. Collection now worth about 2k. Black by SS for me is the finest tune ever done. Got quite a few of Hypes tunes and love them all. Huge legend in the scene and one of my favourite djs along with Randall and Kenny ken. Great interview guys please do more.
Respect for mentioning Black by SS. Funeral tune for sure.
Went to a rave at junction 21 in Leicester back in the 90s.On.the way out got a few freebies they were handing out,I got a vinyl of djss black.Still got it over 20 yrs later
Potential Bad Boy is a don in the game full stop.
💯 💯💯💯
"Jungle was a melting pot of everything" is the best comment! Respect DJ Hype!! True ambassador of the sound!!
Hype talks about what you and me have been talking about :). The jungle-sound and that it faded away. Cool that he mentioned Potential bad boy and Ibiza records. I loved potential bad boys tunes.
@@MemoryLaneCinema A little fun fact. Potential Bad Boy went on to produce UK Garage under the alias of Chris Mack. He smashed it in both scenes.
@@TakeMeBackPirateRadio - Always finding you in the proper corners of the interwebs... cheers TMBPRA
@@gainstage4497 Hahaha!! Respect!! Happy 2022
Could listen to this man for days! What a DON, hope he starts to get openly more credit that he richly deserves, maximum respect!
Was going to write the exact same thing
One of the best rave DJs ever and if anyone thinks otherwise then they need to go check themselves. Hype could singlehandedly blow off the roof to any rave. He made some the best iconic tunes of the Jungle and DNB era!! Ganja Records was one of my favourite labels in the 90s.
@@TakeMeBackPirateRadio totally agree!
@@djanil9733 It's funny how these documentaries miss him out.
Hype man, the end of that interview was fascinating. I can't wait to hear where you'll go getting your groove back. Big tunes, proper!
Hype is loved from London to Nottingham to Manchester ! ! He's our favorite scratch DJ ! No black ! No White !
Legendary Hype. The world is a better place with him in it.
Love this 👊🏻❤🎉
Hype is a legend and definitely deserves more credit for the part he played in Jungle. Big respect the honesty.
Big ups Ron for these.
Really interesting to hear these stories. They need to be heard, it’s too much of an integral part of our culture for it to be forgotten.
Keep it up sir🙏🏻
I beg Ron gets Easygroove, Joe Peng and Robbie Dee on to represent the West!
Thanks for the support bro.
@DJ T-Cuts. Real recognise real!! 100% agree with what you said.
Would love to hear a 2 hour Randall one.
The Hype is real! No bullshit or narcissistic egos here. Hype is a straight shooter and tells it like it is. Probably the reason that the doors didn't open as big for him as they did others back in the day. People don't like to hear the bare truth sometimes when its put on them.
I'm 49, and have loved this dude since way back when. This was a fascinating couple of interviews with the man. Didn't know he was so involved with the scientist stuff in those early rave days. You was right about Potential Bad Boy too. He put out some groundbreaking shit with Ibiza Records and like you, was involved in way more great tracks than he was given credit for. Get him on here. It would be good to hear his take on things.
It would be good to see a couple of guests on together maybe. Get the right guests on and some of the old stories would be great if you had a few of you there bouncing off each other. You would have a great laugh.
Thank you Hype, your music has helped fuck with my head(in a good way) on more than one occasion🤯🤪👍
Really pleased you enjoyed it and thanks for the suggestions re show guests etc. All noted :)
@@LondonSomething1994 yes, having Paul Ibiza on here would be a treat.
100% I always said that from back in 92, Third party, Elicit , Kemet bought that reggea/ ragga sound from early .
Wow!!! I never knew Pascal is Johnny Jungle. Revelation!!!
Thanks Hype and Ron, great interview
Mr you need to get Potential Bad Boy on the show!!
Hype was probably the biggest and first inspiration to me in music, 13 years old listening to his sets on cassette in school
After destroying my dads turntable stylus several times trying to scratch like Hype I got my first set of decks and I was hooked,
Saw him live countless times and was a regular at the fabric playaz nights in the early 2000s, Before I fell out of love with drum & bass
The conversation about Leon at the end was touching, so sad,
Absolutely Wicked interview Ron!
Hype is a proper straight talker, absolute legend! Big up!!!
Hype is one of the few DJs who nails it with that talk of 1993. In my experience the terms "hardcore" and "jungle" were fairly interchangeable around that time. In my opinion (rightly or wrongly as it's based on my experience) the start of jungle was one of those Randall Yaman mixes. The music was stripped back to breaks, bassline and maybe a little synth sound and a sample, I still called it "hardcore" but it was the foundations of Jungle.
Also props for not slagging off or just totally ignoring hardcore. There often seems to be a reshaping of history, with people calling records like "Far Out" Happy hardcore as if it's the same as F*cking Toy Town. Or claiming that SUAD was jungle or DnB back in 89
Yes 100% agree 👍🏻. It’s funny when you hear the ‘cherry picked’ history of it all elsewhere. I guess everyone has their experience of how it happened. But it was hardcore still until much later. All the same producers and DJs didn’t just switch genres. It just grew and morphed.
Hype’s Wikipedia article even says that £10 to Get In by SUAD and The Bee by The Scientist are “the first jungle tunes to hit big”, laughable. Whilst hardcore and jungle definitely were borderline interchangeable at one point those tunes couldn’t be further from jungle if they tried.
Quality interview grew up on hypes drum n bass n still play it today. The guy is a legend 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Ron & Hype - this interview is a beautiful thing! positive vibes and real stories of life. BIG UP!!
Thank you.
@@LondonSomething1994 ✌🏼
This interview is powerful and very inspiring Hype is a genuine nice guy wow 👍🏾🔥💯
BIG INTERVIEW TOUCHED MY HEART AN BROUGHT BACK SOO MANY MEMORIES 🙏✌️🏆👌 Biggup the foundation 🙌🙌🙌🙌
💯
Need another 10 parts easily
Hype is a living legend I love his honesty and commitment massive inspiration in my life 🤘
I can’t tell you how wicked this chat with Hype was. Loved every minute of it, plenty of tangents and all of em were great! There’s always some people that have a great way of telling stories and Hype is certainly one them people!
Real glad he rediscovered his love and passion for what he enjoys during this shitty pandemic, it’s also heartwarming to see him open up and be real about how he was feeling too ❤️
Love this channel DJ Ron, keep em coming!
Legends. 'Getting closer to God ' in a tight situation.
Hype always seemed to be in Manchester. Every time I'd head out with the crew we'd roll up at a DnB club and Hype would be there scratching away to some massive big bass Drum and Bass track! Ohh man, those were the days!
Lovely interview. He is so right at the end, cherish your family and friends, it doesn't last for ever.... One question though, what is he on about when he say about one deck a 'sponge'?
Great interview, would watch the 2 day version too! ;)
Love this! Keep them coming Ron
Bloody love Hype. He could honestly have his own show. He’s so interesting
Another top interview big up Ron and Hype
Thanks James
Enjoyed that!
These talks are gold!
Thank you.
Amazing interview. Hype has always been at the top. Coming from an old World Dancer he was a DJ you would always make sure you never missed. Him And GQ were amazing
Boom!! Love this
Brilliant interview, keep em coming 👍🏾
I neeeeeeeed that “Agony” track!!! Still to this day!!!! Has everything a jungle track needs!!!
Thank you was lovely to watch, all ways been a hero only one HYPE! dont stop doing your thing
Love this interview. The only thing i can't work out is what he means by me 1 deck and sponge.. Can anyone explain that?
Thank you both 🙏
Great interview 👍👍👍👍
One of the realest interviews I have EVER seen!
Brilliant interview. Cheers Ron and Hype!!
Thanks for the support.
DJ Hype was always my favorite as his style of mixing and scratching reminded me of my first love, hip hop. Really interesting insight and a great interview. Tunes released on Sub base and the stuff on ganga were bangers. Would love for d&b to go back to it's funky roots, jazz, ragga and hip hip samples. Feels a bit more soulful that the music being made in the modern era. Maybe I am getting old but alot of modern d&b seems to be lacking something IMHO. Either way, salute Dj Hype and True legend in the game 👍
Those unreleased dubs Hype was playing in 93!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
He would mash up the raves!! When "Dub plate fever" first dropped it had me hooked. One of my all time favourites from 1993.
Thank you hype, legend.
Hype Hype Hype - out too the original stokie crew x bless up Ron
Really enjoyed this one. Hype, one of a kind talent and pivotal in shaping hardcore/jungle from the beginning. I was playing the Shot in the Dark record earlier today, that record is nearly 30 years old. I've been hitting a real nostalgia tip lately and pulling out the old tunes as I'm not far behind you in age now. What a time that was to be alive.
These interviews go deep and have been truly special. I can't explain how much they mean to people like me who grew up through hardcore and then jungle. You were pretty much gods to us back then but we didn't really know the human beings behind the names. Now we're getting to do that. Thanks so much Ron, big love to you and everyone involved with this show.
What An Absolute LEGEND ❤👏👏👏
Original Don 🔥
Would love to hear some of those old sound system tapes.
thanks dj hype for everything
This whole podcast was fascinating to listen to, really enjoyed this.
Glad you enjoyed it man.
MASSIVE love and respect to Hype !! Big love from the states!!
Where can I see the puppet action ?!?
Thanks for a great interview, much respect to Hype!
Great interview, so fascinating to hear the insight
I remember the day I got Still Smokin', I was sixteen that year and it was the sound of my entire summer...and it rolled into the next year as well.
The part where Hype is talking about going through his records is why I love my records, why I never sell any of them even if I haven't listened to a certain plate for decades.
....it seems like a lot of dudes got into puppets during the lockdown. Good on anyone who found a fun thing to do during the lockdowns. This world needs more joy.
Love the interview. Hype was a huge inspiration for me growing up and even now seeing interviews I can relate to his thought process.
All I have in this world is my balls and my word, and I don’t break ’em for no one.
True playaz anthem, super sharp and peace love and unity were the sound of that era. Those tunes got me into the scene and still make the hairs on my arms stand up.
Great interview, great to get to know the man behind the name. Keep em coming
Ron... Hype... Legends 💯
That was the best interview I've ever seen. Love ya Kev since day dot. Thanks Ron.
i love these podcast ..big love ron ...special shout to kevin ..
What a legend, proper straight up geeza!
This is so, so good. Fascinating interview with a lovely fella. Next up... Ellis Dee please, Hackney Boyz innit!
Absolutely love these two and what they're talking about especially the bit where Ron says "something out of Dr.Who straight up". So funny.
Big up Ron!
😆
@@LondonSomething1994 🤣
I like the way you built it up just before by saying "you know what it looked like, you know what it looked". AHH the simple things make me laugh. 🙌🙌🙌
🤣🤣🤣
This was an absolute great interview, always wondered who Jonny Jungle was , great insights, my fave Hype track was an early one on sub base "Weird energy" . Though much more into Bukem and Fabio always appreciated the high quality jungle music produced by Hype.
Absolutely brilliant interview BIG UP \o/ \o/ \o/
Really enjoyed that. Hype is my all time favourite DJ.
Great interview Ron , Great insight to Kevs life . Love it .
We need to have you up there mate ! I love hearing what it was like for the people such as yourself in the early days big up Mickey pussyclart finn
Awesome conversation. Thank you
I got to see Hype in Detroit years ago at Movement festival, Hart Plaza. Daddy Earl was on the mic. It was one of the greatest sets I have ever witnessed! Look up DJ Hype with Daddy Earl in Detroit! The vibes were thick man!!!! Big up Hype! Big up Ron too. Legends!
Loved this Ron. He told his part WELL. MC Duke. On to part 2
Fascinating video. I’ve always been a big fan of Hype and he is such a character. Big up Dj Ron too 👊🏼👊🏼
Big Respect for Hype and Ron
remember hype u can be crazy in a good way too ! you have amazing energy; great interview its great to learn a bit about the history of jungle and drum and bass this way, big up!
DJ Hype set the benchmark many times over the years. He broke boundaries for many yet i believe it was the die-hard fans that always truly understood him. Why? Because musically, there wasn't ever anyone like him as you knew who he was my his music and his set.
Regardless of whether people took him differently, being raw and truthful is the best way to be. People are too sensitive to everything and here is a true legend of the game that doesn't get the true status he deserves. He was and still is the DON!
He was always about evolution, not revolution and you youngsters (i'm 45) should listen to his music past and present and be prepared to open your mind!
One of the realest. Big up Hype the original and foundation. One of my favourite live sets ever was him and Stevie Hyper at World Dance.
Big up Ron! Wicked interview - Shouts to Hype, pioneer!!
lovely interview, easily my favourite so far, totally unexpectedly. good work gents!
Hype and all u legend man dem are like the dad some of us never had...heroes to a generation .
So much respect for Hype. First dj I proper watched....not just listened. Paradise 93. I've been a dj since then.
Thank you for this interview DJ Ron and DJ Hype. I was a raver in the 1990's but my understanding of the scene was naive. I learnt a lot and really enjoyed your story.
Best London scratch DJ ever.
