Ron mate, don’t stop what you’re doing. Please get everyone on, over time!
Thanks Zeb much appreciated.
He conquered his darkness and that's why he's the Dark Soldier. Nothing but love and respect for him. Thank you Ron!!
Exactly bro!
Well said, great comment ✊🏾
@@djunclephill422 Big up bruvva!
I love this pod. 51 and a hardcore raver from 88. Only thing is. I want to hear DJ Ron’s story.
Agreed! Who's going to interview him?
Watching sitting in garden . Love Ray. The man responsible for introducing reece to our scene . ❤
@@10inchpress24 Kevin 'Reece' Saunderson created it, but Terrorist was the first Jungle track I heard it used on back in '94, but I could be wrong on whether that was the first Jungle track to use it. Much love to Ray Keith and Randall. Two true heroes of the scene.
@@10inchpresswhat a tune
Ray Keith produced catalogues and catalogues and catalogues of classics. Theres no denying the sheer volume of tracks and LPs and the top level of his production.
Ray you Badian.. remember being a young un when you served me in Nicky BLMKTs shop waaay back in the 90s. Much respect
Ray The Beard Of Knowledge Keith 😉
Seeing you 2 together reminds me of the 1994 a London someting dis documentary where you Ron goes into Blackmarket records basement where Ray is behind the counter where i might add i always bought my rave tickets from
Great documentary great times
Great interview 👊
Wicked doc mate
“Jungle forever”
A very deep conversation. I find Ray's honesty very refreshing. He's at peace with his past despite it being so traumatic and he's a positive force to carry the music and the sound into the future.
You truly know your stuff man! Big up for your channel
It's a real deep journey innit bro
@@Baber1 Proper! It could be made into a film. Honestly, his life is very interesting and his perspective is immense.
@@chriswftdj Thanks bruvva!! Big up all those who helped make and shape the scene. I am paying my respect to the Don dada Ray Keith.
For real, as a community of like minded people . We can all take something from each and better ourselves 🔥👌🏾.
Ray Keith one of the original rave legends 💿👌
Big up Ray 🇲🇺
A parent who can't say they love you but gives you the tools to build your own machine. 💟
Sunday sorted! Thank you Sir Ron. Rispek da original Dark Soldier Terrorist Renegade Dread Ray Keith.
I’ve watched so many of these, but this one could be my favourite.
I just wanna shout you out Ron and say thank you so much for keeping the culture alive. I’m on the precipice of 40 and fondly remember going to Biting Back records in my local town to get my tape packs back in the day.
Out of all the digital music that’s came and gone. D&B is bigger than ever and still growing. I spoke to a lady from New Zealand who told me it’s taken over.
Wow, thank you and yes it quite remarkable how from cities across the UK a music genre was born that has had global impact!
Big up Ray 👊
Ron, this is the best thing on RUclips in my opinion. I've loved every chat, please keep doing these for as long as possible.
Big up Ron & Ray Keith!
The absolute don that is Mr. Ray keith
Yes!
Ron, you are magic mate, but Ray bruva, you are a champ!! You are one special geezer. Wish the pair of you all the best for 2024. ❤
Thanks John much appreciated. Hope 2024 has been good and continues to be for you and yours. 💯
Ray Keith is a gem. Everything he & Nookie touched in 94 turned to gold
You know what...I feel nothing but love and pride being a part of this scene. Soul, intention and grit ...
Big up Father Ray Keith for mentioned me on this at 54:40 ✌✌✌✌✌✌✌The raver filmed the whole ting 📸👊👊👊👊👊👊👊
🤩😍😎🤙
Last night I finished watching/listening to DJ Ron's podcast with Ahmud Farhad Dookhith AKA Ray Keith, from which I wanted to share some comments and reflections. I can’t go in all the issues that arise, but to touch upon a few. I was brought to tears several times when listening to Ray Keith, especially when he shared what he and his parents went through as new migrant families in Colchester. More on that shortly. Ray Keith is a pioneer and icon of the community of grassroots young people that forged the Jungle sound and movement in the early 1990s. These producers and DJs and MC came out of Hip-Hop, Rave (helped to forge Rave music and culture too), Soul/RnB, Rare Groove, Reggae/Ragga traditions to create and develop Jungle. Ray Keith was at the centre of all of that, producing some of the greatest anthems of Jungle including Renegade / Terrorist, Something Out There, Do It and so many more.
Ray Keith was the 'Dark Soldier', the Renegade, the Terrorist, Dr Wootang, London's Most Wanted, Tron etc who created a sound that was so close to our hearts as yoots at the grassroots, the beautiful-grungey melodic darkness in his tunes spoke to us a reflection of our experience of our surroundings of a deteriorating urban landscape that we were trying to unite and thrive-in through the Junglist Movement. This Junglist Movement, inspired by tunes and sets like Ray Keith's, drove us to get our own crews together and represent the culture inna dance, clubs, bars, self-organised parties, pirate radio and endless sets together. Over two decades on, many of us who are still alive have the chance to reflect-back and take stock of what happened, where we are now and where we might be going. So it's always interesting to hear these long conversations with people like Ray Keith and DJ Ron.
Ray Keith is a beautiful human being, he has a smile and glint in his eyes that holds a lot of courage and experience, he is someone who has been through a lot and remains generous of heart and courageous enough to share a lot of his life and in a self-critical and humble manner. He has written and published a hardback book called Dark Soldier which I need to read which goes into more detail than the DJ Ron chat about his life.
Ray Keith is of Asian Muslim heritage from Mauritius whose parents came over to serve a racist society and people and try and better their prospects in so doing, in Ray Keith's parent's case in the NHS. He and his parents faced brutal street attacks living in the pit of racists which was Colchester. His parents were spat-at and attacked in the streets, Ray Keith had to eventually fight-back the racist attacks he faced since a child. Like so many of us, his migrant parents faced intense racism and the unbearable pressures of trying to raise a family in a context of growing capitalist pressure resulted in internalised violence and fractures in the family home and between family members. Thank you to Ray Keith for sharing this as there is a tendency to brush all this under the carpet and in so doing perpetuate the frameworks of inter-generational abuse and oppression.
Ray Keith and Brockie in their chats with DJ Ron both recount their experiences of racism, but Jungle and its historic placement is interesting in these regards: Jungle is a united grassroots Black-led culture of resistance largely coming out of the Ragga sound system scene, while Jungle has many components we lived it as basically Ragga and Hip-Hop to a crazy circa 160bpm breakbeat and bassline culture.
Jungle comes out of the overtly political and radical Ragga/Reggae sound system/MC culture scene of the late 1970s and 1980s, notwithstanding the attempts at negating radicalism in Reggae/Ragga with the capitalist-colonialist elites injecting the anti-people 'gangster' element into the sound (don't forget, Reggae was literally the soundtrack to rebellion and revolution across the Caribbean of the Black Power generation and beyond). But at the sametime the Junglists were a generation of the 1990s, a decade which saw the near total collapse of the Black-led radical grassroots organised movements, it was the children of the Thatcher years going deeper into racism and capitalist stripping of our communities.
This political and social collapse is also reflected in the way that Jungle never really took off apart from the golden era of circa 1992-2003, it got eaten-up by a collapse/sell-out into increasingly white racist capitalist domination to the point today that a large part of the Jungle DnB industry just doesn't invite the Caribbean, African and Asian grassroots youth to it, and instead it seems in large part a renewed racism whereby there are hardly any non-white attendees at the festivals and raves, and very few working class racialised youth are coming through as DJs, producers, MCs etc.
In these types of podcasts there are two major areas that are basically not addressed, and these two things are directly connected: 1, the grassroots support that made whatever successes to people like Ray Keith etc are just not commented on, the great mass of working class communities that gave love and support and took part in the Junglist Movement tend to be just not talked about. Of course we are all interested in the stories of the top guys in Jungle, but Jungle is a community movement but the community and what they have gone through and are going through isn't really addressed. Of course a lot of these guys by the start of the 2000s are using the industry to fund their mortgages and raise their families, but we are ALL trying to raise our families and pay our bills, so it would be more in tune to the grassroots nature of the Junglist Movement that the grassroots and centred in the story in relationship with the Jiunglist 'elite', if one can use that phrase.
The second connected thing is what has happened to the actual culture and Jungle industry. Ray Keith addresses this briefly when he states that there are too many people producing tunes and there's no quality control. And he states that the way he navigates this is by the original Junglist pioneers establishing the foundations and that he continues to champion the authentic but new Junglist sounds by his own production and sets...
[cond...] You gotta really big-up Ray Keith the skies cos his production and tunes is just so that: authentic but new Jugnlist sounds. Ray Keith's new album is phenomenal. There is a LOT of 'good sounding' new Jungle out there, but it tends to just ape the old original Jungle sounds, the tunes are beautiful but because they have no organic connection to a Junglist culture and movement, they tend to sound a bit hollow in that sense, this is not the case for Ray Keith's tunes (and others, but focusing on Ray Keith here). Ray Keith is one of those Junglist pioneers who holds all these millions of instances of experiences of the Junglist movement in his being and creativity, as the whole Junglsit thing was being borne by the very creativity and work of this community, and that is clearly reflected and comes through in the tunes that Ray Keith continues to produce, his body language, his sets that he smashes out every week.
Ray Keith states in the chat with Ron that he feels the 'baton has been handed over' to a new generation and gives the example of Bladerunner. Bladerunner is a bad-boy producer and DJ, taking a particular angle of the authentic sound and - pardon the pun - is rolling with it. But one Bladerunner doesn't mean that there is a handover, there isn't. Jungle DnB had a racist takeover clearly since the mid 2000s. You have to understand that Jungle is still the foundation of the last 30 years, that really anyone who is into the Black-led grassroots sound and culture in this country and further afield are Junglists of sorts.
Many of the leading Grimes artists were actually Junglists and Grime in-part starts EXACTLY because the grassroots weren't allowed to cut through and so they made their own movement which was Grime post circa 2000. There were countless producers, DJs and especially MCs that were inspired to express their conditions and themselves through the MC culture of Jungle and Garage, but those who controlled these scenes didnt support this growing wave, so the grassroots broke down the floodgates and forged ahead with Grime. There is an amazing video of Dizzee Rascal and Ray Keith vibing over old Jungle tunes on vinyl, the subtexts of this meeting is profound and needs exploring as it pertains to what happened to millions of grassroots youth that were abandoned by Jungle DnB then forged Grime, they then conducted a four day uprising against racism and poverty after police killed Mark Duggan from the Farm in August 2011 etc. No one has supported our youth for some 30yrs now.
Ray Keith is right in the chat with Ron to say that we need to support our youth and children to make a more positive future for them, but these are children growing up with challenges we didn't face: a toxic and racist brexit britain, foodbanks, hostile environment, unlike for Ray Keith's generation there is just no prospect of getting a mortgage or even paying for growing rip-off private rent, collapsing mental health with no support, collapsing schools, hospitals, no youth activities, growing criminalisation of the youth and much more. The original Jungle wave gave a cultural voice to an extent of that generation but didn't forge ahead at the grassroots leaving the grassroots to push their own through Grime. Jungle could have elevated the entire community, but due to the own insecurities of the elites of Jungle, they left us at the grassroots and tried to make their money and security for themselves and their families.
The Junglist grassroots, especially those of us who know the gwarn on these issues (there's a lot of us out here), have our eyes and ears open, we know what's going on and we are trying without any support in an independent manner trying to positively intervene for our community. We know that the youth and community have less and spaces and places to chill, enjoy, create and unite; we are pushing against this through our grassroots events and sound system events of which we have had two in West London and several in East Oxford just this year, and more in Bristol and elsewhere. The Malcolm X Movement (MXM) is central to all of this. We can see that the working class youths especially those of colour are being squeezed out of mainstream music and cultural events and circles, the MXM is about to launch a big new project shortly which seeks to celebrate sound system traditions including Jungle, to explore the histories in order to support the grassroots and invite new sections of the grassroots back into the Junglist sound and culture. We want to help unite and elevate our youth, not out of self-aggrandisement and enrichment, but grassroots unity, love and solidarity.
We hope Ray Keith and the other original Junglist pioneers will support us in this. Many thanks for Ray Keith for surviving in going through everything he and his family have gone through, thanks for sharing your experiences that also helps us navigate this life. Especially African, Asian, Caribbean heritage people need to share these life experiences to assist each other in solidarity. In a brief facebook exchange I said to Cleveland Watkiss (who emceed on the first Jungle CD I ever got, Promised Land back in 1996) that we need to get Black and Asian youth back into Jungle, he said he and Talvin Singh were discussing the same, I replied back saying Aref Durvesh and I were discussing the same so let's get in touch and make things happen. The Junglist spirit is to just get in touch and get-together and make unity and creativity happen be it on the pirate, on the set, inna dance etc. All the fallen Junglists shall never be forgotten be it Skibs, Fats and those that never made fame like our brother DJ Dark / Jason Paterson. You all continue to inspire us further. Junglist Soldiers still Bear Witness and are still here as we continue to march-on fighting babylon through forging peace, love and unity for our communities. Big-up the Dark Soldier! Original Renegade Terrorist!
- "I-N-I Know dat all of the youth shall witness the day that babylon shall fall!"
Another great episode. Have to say Ron, your one of the best interviewers on RUclips. Don't stop this channel will blow up.
1:22:14 crikey, imagine going to your local yoga and roll into Ron, Ray, and Goldie!!!!
Nice one Ron. Big up the Dread Boss Keith
Wow what a moment to share those unreleased Dats with yr kids in lockdown ❤❤❤
People forget about Ray. He's been around a VERY long time. I saw him on many, many flyers in the very early 90's. Bryan Gee is the same too.
This is really important social history as well as an insight into musical legends.
Ray Keith shelling down @ The End will always be some of my fondest memories. Biggup the OG Dark Soldier.
big up ray !!!! used to smash lazerdrome 🎶🎶🙏
Absolutely, wonderful interview yet again Ron. Always such a fantastic insight into the life’s of our peers we look up too.
Thank you Ray Keith for sharing your journey and the strength you have coming from having your heart attack.
My partner was listening to this with me and your life’s are very similar at times and this helped him so much with how you had to change your whole life style.
He’s having his heart operation on the 27Th of this month he’s 46.
Music keeps him sane but a big change for us both is needed.
We forget to look after ourselves and it’s paramount to start from within. Big love and respect ✊
Hey thanks for reaching out and for your words of support for Ray and the channel. It’s so pleasing to hear that in some way Ray’s story has helped your partner as he prepares for his own surgery.
From all of the London Something team and I, we wish him every success with the operation and to a future filled with good health, hope and inspiration. ❤
@@LondonSomething1994 I've just read the message to Richie thanks to all of you for the kind reply. 🥰
That's wonderful! Pls stay in touch!
One of the greatest real djs of these shores and way beyond. Disgusting producer too absolute master of just switching into a drop all out of pure rawness. In some way this man deserves an honour. Has served his artform for a very very long time. I have seen less get more.
We had that ashtray. Bright orange
Ahhh Ron you remind me of that type of mate that sleeps round your house every weekend, that you stay up all night just talking endlessly with about everything.
Oh my God, just one of the best London thing podcasts I’ve listened to for a long time I understand completely where Ray is coming from my dad is Jewish very hard finish. I love worked constantly strive to to put food on the table to be the best he could possibly be with out showing affection towards me and blessed mum and dad are still together and going strong at 77 and 74 years of age so I’m blessed and I thank God for that And I’m blessed with a lovely wife and two lovely girls, but I just want to say thank you Mr Ron and thank you mr Ray, Keith Keith Keith absolutely adore your mixes your tunes your personality I’ll check in your hand in Ministry of Sound. I’ve been on the scene since it started. I’m 51 years of age. I still feel about 25 Dj myself and have done since I started way back. When I was about 14 and 15 helping out the youth club disco. DJ carry his records and then when he went to get a drink I would try and have a mix belt driven double deck deckers and his progress from there. Absolutely hats off and I will stop waffling now but thank you and stay safe please love and all that.
Fantastic to wake up to a new episode and it's the one and only Ray Keith 💚👊🏻💥💥
Absolute quality, I’m posting from penang Malaysia, hailing from Manchester , I’ve been a jungle head since 91 and still have a collection of tunes out here in the humidity. this chat made my evening, top men - cheers Ron and Ray
Ray Keith was always a stand out for me - a special ear and a unique style !
Very true
such a privilege to hear from one of the originators in such detail, thanks Ron
Loved this podcast. Jungle, D&B weren't really my thing, cos I was into House. However, I did dabble and have a few tunes from those genres. Ray, was so sincere and opened up about his life. Shame that todays 'Yout' have taken a different direction.
Ray supports the underground radio scene too; he still appears on Origin and even did a spell on House FM under another alias. I recall he turned up to support a small local online station in Suffolk
BIG UP RON EVERYTIME. MANS INTERVIEW SKILLS ARE SECOND TO NONE. ❤
Wow what a emotional amazing packed interview. Ron you got these podcasts on point. Did not move off mu sofa
Respect Ray
Very inspiring the original And only Dark Soldier
Most people live through tough times during a long life. That is my impression after 42 years :)
Very true
What a great way to start my morning, cheers Ron! Like you said Ray is one of the forefathers of this music we all love, the man is a living legend. To anyone that hasn’t read it I HIGHLY recommend Ray’s book, Dark Soldier, it’s a great read & I’m currently on my 4th reload!
Yes a great book and even more detailed look at his life.
Honestly, only a quarter of the way through. Best interview thus far
Really pleased you’re enjoying it. Thanks for the support. 💯
I still haven't heard this one but the Eastman story was probably the best one out of many, Fabio, Kenny, Shabz, Brockie, wow... I'm gonna tune in to this one tonight.
Unsung hero. Has made hundreds of the scenes finest tunes. Absolute legend.
One of the greatest ever!
He's in most people's top ten producers in this genre of music, from hardcore to jungle to drum and bass.
He definitely isn't an unsung hero!
💯
Unsung hero? He's Ray Keith!
Was just telling my mate to check this earlier: from 92-96 beat this: Dune -Too Much, Supermarket Remix, Sing Time, You Got Me Burnin’, Midnite 96 and best of all the gigantic Renegade - Terrorist. What a G!
There u are. Big up :)

Ray’s energy is on another level. I thoroughly enjoyed reading his book when it dropped and this interview was on the same level. Ron, appreciate what you’re doing here. The history is being documented and it will live on.
Luv you Ray such a nice geezer I live near by said hi a few times in our local tesco. Gonna get the book. Thanks Ron n the crew for this brilliant listen.

I was just as surprised about that and a lot he spoke about.
This is a great interview, these pods are amazing Ron. Listening to Ray's story I almost forgive him for making me spend a fortune on a lot of crap records at Blackmarket in the 90's (and some bloody good ones too!)
🫢
I used to think the d&b legends were amazing just because they started this scene, but then you see these interviews and realise they did it against all odds. Another great interview Ron, cheers.

Just catching up this interview now but at 25 mins into this one need to say these are powerful and beautiful interviews. Also find them very helpful, although each person interviewed has a different set of circumstances also a lot of parallels and things can relate to.
I'm gonna have to buy the bloody book now aren't I. Great interview
If you look up junglist in the dictionary, you'll see a picture of Ray Keith. Awesome chap too.
The man, the myth, the legend ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Top Bloke Ray Keith - Loving your honesty and how head strong you have become over the years through your lifes experiences - Fascinating and inspirational.
Ron, your interviews with the great innovators like Ray are of massive historical importance, mad respect for Ray!. I love your approach and empathic nature.
Would an interview with Randall be possible???
At 18 I got a Dread recordings tattoo. I’m 41 now! I’ve never been more proud of it after watching this 👊🏾😊
Used to buy tracks from you when man was 20 1996.big up ray foreal
Great interview, I have a ton of respect for Ray. He brings the right spirit and energy to the music and is a guy who imo younger people would greatly benefit from listening to due to his overall character and specifically music production/DJ wise he remains true to the art form which is what made (and makes) jungle dnb and the whole rave scene so unique and durable.
great interview,,, very inspiring nice one Ray x
Dreamscape 4 - Ray Keith - Iconic Set
Massive Love to our Legend Ray Keith. Love his Journey from the the lows to highs. His book is amazing read aswell. Ron thanks again for another Great interview. Keep them coming :)

First time I dragged my lot to The Astoria was a Technopolis event...Ray walloped it that night and on that system with the acoustics in that place.
Ray is such a great intriguing very interesting character, couldn't stop listening to him watched without stopping from start to finish 😁👊
It's going to be rare when newer DJs have the careers that y'all have had. I feel blessed to have been a part of the start of jungle and DnB. Absolutely Blessed!
Ray Keith, my guy. In my Top 5 DJs and producers from the golden era (jungle) and pre 1999. Always knew how to shut down the dance. Blessings Brudda Ron 🙏
