Adam F - Circles (Album Edit)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июл 2011
- Carrying on the theme of Circles here is Circles. Bit of a strange word if you look at it for a while. Old DNB. Deep yet lighthearted, chilled yet bashment; this true classic gets me pumped whatever I'm doing, where ever I am.
Label:Astralwerks
Format:CD, Album Colours
Released:Nov 1997
Style:Drum n Bass, Jungle

Pink Pantheress sampling this is a good thing. The jungle community isn't as big as it used to be, so shedding light onto this masterpiece only opens a gate to a new genre for some.
And she killed it while doing it!
Unless its used on that cancer TikTok
@@Vitor20XX yeah no need to be one of those people who hate popular things. tiktok basically boosted pink pantheress but wtvr
Her producer sampled this
Couldn't agree more! And really, any of us oldies who lapped up DnB back in the day, who had come from Hip Hop and House and UK Garage - this whole area of music is based on sampling. Exactly as you say, we should be happy that more people will learn about the older classics!
how are people crying about pink panthress rinsing this when the entire melody of the tune is a sample of Bob James? The cultures built on bringing shit back!
Because people are fucking stupid, simple as that
@@FranciscoFJM pior que é verdade meu mano, a pink panthress é muito talentosa e as pessoas parecem que não entendem o conceito de samplear
literally says Bob James as the lead writer of the song and Adam F as the other lead writer?
@@iseck6932 that’s what it says when a sample is used it’s basically just credit
Pink Pantheress using this sample is only going to revive jungle music, and I fucking love jungle. Nothing but love for them for showing many the junglist style!
Seeing all these 40 - 50 year olds in the comments is so wild bc I’m 22 and I just started getting into DnB
Welcome in DNB world ;)
Same, i’m 17 and all i see are these old heads talking about the good old days
@@francomurillo568 same i‘m 19
Yep I'm 40
Lol my parents used to play this stuff to me so I’ve been listening since I was 3
When i first got my driving license back in 1997 i had a mix CD that a friend of mine gave me with some classic tracks on it by Roni Size, Adam F, Andy C, Grooverider, LTJ Bukem... etc
My car was a shitty Nova and the sound system cost more than the car itself but i loved that car more than any other car i've had since.
Whenever i hear this 'Circles' track it's like a time machine that takes me straight back to those glory days of DnB and the great friends and fun i had at the time.
Enjoy your youth while you can kids because life goes fast!
I'm now 44yrs old and it feels like only yesterday i was a care-free teen with no worries in the world 😌
We've all been in a Nova like yours getting a lift to someone's house party with this track playing on the stereo 🤣
OI! Old, old Novas aren't sh*tty. They have very foldable seats and you can take a real lady out for a nice drive too :)
Nah man, I'm only messing! I bet your Nova was better than mine - only one wing mirror and four forward gears but it was rockin when I was 19. Bless you all :D
I also had a red Nova and loved it. Was my second car if I remember rightly. Me and my pals also had similar experiences listening to jungle/drum & bass and uk garage and also playing on decks around each other’s houses without a care in the world. Then you eventually have to get a proper job and career and before you know it you’re 40 ffs 😂
I enjoyed this story. For me it was my mom’s old minivan but we blasted the speakers I put in!
I’m 50 years old but every time I still hear this it puts a massive grin on my face how I wish I could go back to them days
Same here mate!! I thought it was just me!!
@@iainsloan1597 lots of Us still at it mate
It gives you those chills mate... I'm sooo glad I was part of this culture. I wouldn't change it for anything!!
U right Ian i m closer to your age but MUSIC FOR ME IS AIR .CHOOSE LIFE .PEACE
54 years old here, and this music will always float in aeternum (forever).
This has to be one of best Jungle/Drum & Bass tunes ever made...Timeless.
Nickyt timeless...that's Goldie.lol
I like how you said one of .... theres so many classics like this.. I'm not sure we will ever get to the number 1 tune lol
why do people say jungle/drum and bass now? is that like the official name? it annoys me. not my scene any more though I guess. ha ha. the name was changed from jungle to D&B to make it more inviting to students. I know you can pin point a sound known as jungle and then a hard step sound which could be called drum and bass, but I always just seen it all as one music, jungle is just an older term for D&B.
just my opinion though like.
It’s not goldie he worked alongside Adam then stole the track and stopped Adam from producing he done this to loads of artists imagine the tracks we could of had of Adam f if goldie could produce his own music
@@D00M3R_MAVS Same, it's all jungle to me. If it causes the jungle neurons to fire, it's jungle.
Song sounds just like a rainy day in London. Captured perfectly
I always felt it was a "clear, somewhat busy autumn evening in the city" vibe personally 🙃
Is this basically what London was in the 90's?
I’d say a sunny day in late 90s LA but we all have our own song imaginations
What about a late night stroll in a busy city whiles its raining
Sounds like being in London Underground during rush hour in 1997
Hi
me lol
Meeee
Me!!
meee
here
this music doesn't age. It sounds like new every single day.
I grew up with this, had the best jungle and drum and bass years, met all djs, Goldie, Fabio groove rider the list goes on
26 years old and it still sounds futuristic. That's incredible.
Sounds new cause all we do now is flipp samples to lazy for the real work
Beautiful
That "Check check check" sound bite is so hype
I thoughted turkish
I always thought it was “tick” lol
I'm seeing a lotta controversial chat about the pinkpantheress girl who used this banger of a track for her song. I agree with the oldskool heads to an extent that she didn't actually 'sample' the song, as sampling refers to taking out a SEGMENT of the song and flipping it into your own style, in this instance she didn't take a segment, but the WHOLE song which always needs permission by the original artist (this is only fair as in the music world, usin' another producers track for commercial purposes aka putting songs up on spotify, apple music etc without their permission is essentially theft, as the original artist is losing out on money - pretty str8 forward).
BUT...
Since she blew up with the song, she now has a consistent audience that rates what she did with the track, so exceptions were made by the looks of it (and ofc a lot of £££). HOWEVER, she said that she CLEARED the 'sample' (this track) with ADAM F (original producer) meaning he's OKAY with her using it as he's getting paid for it, so it's all equal - you can't really fault her or any1 here in this situation as permission was in fact given.
MUSIC IS MUSIC - let shit be, every1 is entitled to their own tastes. I understand the mentality of the oldskool heads have where, they don't want tiktok to 'ruin' their scene with PERHAPS, cheesy vocals over the top etc (btw not saying they are cheesy personally jus using an example they might use/say). But the thing oldskool heads dont get is that, the original song isn't going anywhere lol, the old classic dnb, jungle, happycore- whatever the fk you're listening to will ALWAYS be there, thats the whole point of the internet, you can go back in time - theres records of everything so please relax. Isn't fair to blame the girl and slur against her when all she did was make a harmless song- If anything the oldskool listeners should take it as a COMPLIMENT that she used this track in her song, it will certainly put on more of the new generation to oldskool genres as they might get the incentive to check out the original track and listen to more similar stuff if they like this one!
Well said. The truth is all music is influenced by bits and pieces of other music that has come before since time immemorial...been heard and appreciated then passed onto future generations. When the suits and leeches get involved, there's money to be made...even if the artists and the listeners themselves DGAF. We are just here for the vibes, not the politics and red tape that the bureaucrats deem to market our passions and entertainment by..
This
Well said bro
Hi, me here, the new generation, being interested in the original track so I can listen to more similar stuff......
I think i'm ok with that now, also the same happened with #BrooklynBloodPop, i got a strike because i was talking to syko but they removed it
Holy crap I've been looking for this song for ages! I heard this song in a gym back in 1997 and always wondered what this track is called and I finally found it wow! I've always hummed the bassline and drum hits and remembered the check,check,check part. That's the downside finding songs with no lyrics at times. Wow I feel like my life is complete now!
cheque etc....
Welcome brother!

What a great time to a dnb head, early 20's. I remember saying at the time to a friend of mine, that we will still be listening to this when I'm in my 40's Well guess what, 43 next month and I love this music more than ever.
Same here. I've still got my 1210s and loads of great tunes on vinyl. No space for it as we're a family of 5, so it's in the loft. And circles is in the collection
I was 13 in 1994 when i got jungle fever and remember hearing this on the big breakfast show on the TV while getting ready for school. Went to the metro centre in Gateshead and bought this on vinyl with pocket money even though i didn't have turntables yet. First record i ever bought and still have it. I'm 38 now and still got the fever. Big up yourself and all the OJ's still rolling iin 2019.
I have a wonderful sense of accomplishment making my 16 year old stepson listen to this in the car and him asking me to turn it down. Circle of Life.
Same as!!! It hasn't lost anything over the years, its gotten better in my books.
I'm 40 now but Ronni size got me up dancing to brown paper bag in the warehouse in Doncaster when I was 17 fucking brilliant and I'm a woman but it takes me back to dancing and ES
the way the bass leads the atmosphere is timeless, it makes me wanna say smart things but ultimately leaves me speechless
please say smart things

This tune is still causing ripples in today's amazing drum and bass scene.
"Today's amazing Drum&Bass scene?" lol Its stopped being amazing around 2006
@@djspiralz been going to D&B nights on and off since 1999 it's different and just as amazing as it was back then. Go and listen to some Calibre and DRS and tell me 2006 was the peak
@@djspiralz it's actually really good and healthy these days, yeah 2005-2015 was a bit dead but it's been going strong lately
@@djspiralz DNB is the best it's ever been, there are more producers than ever, the sound is being pushed and developed at an incredible pace. People know & respect the roots. They're also open to innovation and the future. It wouldn't be dnb if it weren't forward moving and prophetic musically. The scene is amazing.
@@sunhammer420 A bit dead? It was six feet under. Thankfully people like Lenzman have pushed dnb in new directions and brought it back nearer to where it once was.

Interessante! Lembra de qual comercial, especificamente?
I had the pleasure of meeting Adam F while he was on his marriage holiday in skiathos, found out he was a Liverpool fan and we had a few drinks while watching the game that was on at the time, top bloke had a good laugh with him
I first heard it in 1997. I was 17. It was kind of alright at the time but I wasn't into drum and bass. I didn't think I would be listening to it in 2019 and enjoying it so much!
damn thats crazy i was born in 1997 and listening to it now for the first time! circles...
The same thing before reading your comment. This is a piece of Art!
Same here m 40 now just uploading some old skool music for my son...him and his gf are learning to mix...something I always wanted to do but never did...I was all about the hard house and trance back in the day but love the odd dnb track....just discovered Alcemist “gone” what a tune!
that’s crazy, i’m 17 and just now getting into this song. hopefully in a couple years i’ll return
17 almost 18 listening to this classic!
If this was a film it would be a cult classic
It does have a music video

Very interesting that this track still appears in sets today, yet the rest of the ambient jungle scene is largely forgotten. I hope more people see this track for what it is - the tip of the iceberg of the golden era of drum and bass.
AFAIK it was called intelligent drum and bass 😉
@@seldom8075however the originators of jungle (basically the father of dnb) actually disliked that term, as it insinuated that other jungle and dnb was unintelligent.
Ambient jungle is definitely making its way back with loads of new mixes being made everyday.
i don’t like to sit and reminesce about the “good old days”... i just put headphones on and let myself carried away by the music. Live in the now, people, this is where life is at

@@screamingruns10 muahahaha!! Stop it uncle, you dirty bastard!! It hurts!! hahahaha
Absolutely beautiful song...takes me back to the lasers and booming systems. 48 years old..what happened..lol Need a time machine to go back.
I was never really into drum & bass. Probably because back in the 90's all the dudes (and I literally mean dudes, as in no women) in my local d&b scene were into super hardcore stuff with no melody or feeling. They didn't even dance. They stood around the dj booth with hoodies on slightly bobbing their heads, looking like they were too cool to have fun. But...I had a mix on CD called Junglized that had this and some other stellar drum & bass tracks. Man I wore that thing out. I've been looking for this track ever since. Thanks for posting!
Hot take, but im kinda glad pinkpantheress sampled this. She's bringing back the good ol underground jungle and dnb culture we had throughout the 90s that she grew up with. Me personally, I'm 14 and im a huge fan of artists like Aphex Twin, Vektroid, OPN, Tom & Jerry (rare gem), sewerslvt, daft punk, and many others.
Absolutely hypnotizing tune. Forever classic. Forever Jungle
My father showed me this song. This is hopefully how it will pass through generations.
54 and still loving this. ❤ It's one of the songs that takes me back to a sunny early evening, listening to my younger brother mixing on pirate radio, and chilling out, watching the sun go down, wine in a plastic beaker... What a great era for music....

Timeless track from Adam F - one of my favorite DNB tracks of this era. I'm always amazed that is was first release in 1995 then re-released in 1997. Miss those days hearing this song and others on massive sound systems in some crazy warehouse party in the Midwest. Classic.

Pioneer of DnB This record is a timeleess Classic
TIL that the sample is 'check check check' , and since 1998 I've been hearing 'tick tick tick' and I can't lie it's thrown me a little 😮
It still sounds fresh 23 years later. Reminds me of days gone by.
This song is a gem.
Timeless track. Still blasting this one out, 2020 and beyond.
i cant believe music like this is considered old now
I believe the term is classic
God damn, how is it a style from the mid to late 90s sounds better than ANYTHING out today?
Electronic music peaked in the 90’s
electronic music in the 90s had an optimistic spirit that is missing nowadays
I’m 19 and only just discovered this at a DnB gig I was recently at. This had me hooked, sadly can’t find it anywhere else aside from RUclips!
ay bigup, i'm 19 too. i spin this style with my mates all the time as well as uk breakbeat, acid and hardcore. old school sounds are coming back
I'm soon 18 and oldskool DnB will never be topped imo especially the other tracks that came out in the same year as this one (1998) e.g dillinja, ed rush & optical, moving fusion, ram trilogy ext.
i had this on a compilation CD. hadnt heard it in years because i lost the CD. was just thinking of it the other day. boom ,i stumble across it
How do you want it, on vinyl, or mp3 or what?
welcome in DNB world :D
Love seeing this on social media these days... Like, do these kids know this tune is older than they are?! 😂
Nigdy się nie znudzi, rewelacyjny, ponadczasowy, wieczny
