DJ Vibes - Obsession (Music So Wonderful). Excellent 1993 track from DJ Vibes and slightly darker than the Happy Hardcore stuff he was more renowned for!
This was like original jungle with a hardcore flavour. Vibes always liked the more girly tunes so i was suprised he actually made such a banging tune. If you asked Vibes what this tune was he probably would have said hardcore.
This was a huge track back in the day and obviously still is. Hardcore/Drum n Bass and Jungle has certainly stood the test of time and is still progressing now and into the future. We are still making tunes today 2020 in the old skool style if you would care to have a listen?
@@DJAndeKarmaRecordings I have listened! Not too fussed on Nu Skool....especially when it's an old track remixed for today's ears. Some just about give that back into the early 90s theme...with the tech of today, it's too pure in sound you can tell it's made by some downloaded DJ program that has all the choices in tempo, rhythm, bleeps, and bops added. I prefer the crackling needle on the record, the recorded studio, the twin decks mixed together to make it sound more BPM...not a laptop with a few extra added bits to a sound already produced generations ago. We had this problem with Robin Thicke ripping off Marvin Gaye..!
@@DJAndeKarmaRecordings your tracks?! Sorry, thought you mean in general...Mickey B uploads a lot of remastered relicked vinyls, as well as some nu skool....
@@ExtraIceCube Deep Jungle releases are worth a listen. They're basically putting out unreleased dubplate from the early 90s. It's fronted by DJ Harmony, ex Moving Shadow.
Imo hardcore was way better at that time. I respect everything artists did moving forward, but even as someone who was just a toddler at the time it's one of my favorite moments in the history of the culture.
What also blows my mind is putting this whole timeline in perspective... As of now (2023) the track has been out 30 years (93), RUclips has been active for 18 years (05) and this upload has been here for 14 years (09). And viewership has remained constant with comments from the start til now... Fr people stay digging the old school. 😊
I remember seeing Vibes perform this live at Vibealite way back in time. Awesome track and it has stood the test of time so well! How I wish it was still 1993......
this track is PURE ENERGY! a tune to get things done to! Me and my bro run some experiment on a kid our mum child minded.. we put him on Street Fighter Alpha (on the SNES.. poor version) and the kid would only be able to beat Akuma/Gouki whne we played this track in the back,. though he was oblivious to what we were doing LOL!!!
This style was perfect for fighting Akuma. It makes it feel like it was the real battle. Probably why Akuma’s Third Strike theme was similar. It’s all in how you feel.
I am so glad I was part of this rave culture...bouncing around like an idiot listening to carl cox and grooverider at Club kinetic, Dougal at die electric,then slow it down slightly to house with jeremy Healey at love to be,Sheffield or Wigan pier...never get bored listening to this type of music, just the best end of
Your one of me own, only the happiest need apply, ive sitll got my pass....miss them dayz....stairs to nowhere, one night they all played pbuture assassins/chrome and time. ......anyway fello raver, labyrinth is labyrinth., properly shared water. Onece upon time.
they were the best times everyone out of it enjoying life I would pay big money to be transferred back time but at least we experienced it some people didn't Respect
I knew Vibes really well and remember him coming back from the press after with this track and spinning it first at The Slammer in Gravesend.. This is his best tune by far. Cyndicut 100.4 in the house!
@@DLP-Coasters all the music between around 90-93 usually gets called hardcore, hardcore sort of split in to hardcore/happy hardcore and jungle maybe 93 onwards, jungle is more reliant on breaks and less 4/4, a lot more reggae influence in jungle, the bass work is different too, I know what I am hearing when I hear it, but there are other reasons for the differences too, as i am just a tune listener, not a music technician or producer, I cannot explain further, there are a lot of people out there that know a lot more than me. Cheers.
@@user-zc5ft9nw9b lee you are right in a sense, the scenes did split but there wasn't really a crossover from hardcore to jungle, hardcore could be classed around 90,but there was darkside as well this is the scene that you could say crossed the hardcore scene to a D&B HAPPY HARDCORE route,darkside mainly brought the breakbeat in and influenced the D&B crossover, some darkside tracks are classed as D&B which there is no right&wrong in this, so in theory people class D&B first then jungle, which is right jungle originates from D&B,if you have some time, for some darkside stuff to listen to 3rd party records is a good label, and dj remarc done some excellent stuff,you will find plenty more from there,hope this helped j
@TakeMeBackPirateRadio Hard to pick a year... For oldschool Hardcore it's got to be '92. For me, that year was the absolute peak of the Hardcore era rudie! Hardcore to Jungle crossover, Jungle Tekno and Darkcore (and with raves that still had an old school rave vibe) - it's gotta be '93. A special year for me. Peak Jungle year/s (and the only years that have any Happy Hardcore I like) - '94 / '95. Sooo many riddims and raves! Generally I loved all of the 90's though!
Love this one. Used to know someone, who got lost in an library in wickford. With not a worry in the world. Ah forgiveness... Music so wonderful. Play it again.
One of those tunes that properly straddled the Hardcore / Jungle divide, kaned by everyone BITD. The 4/4 intro was a sign of where Vibes would eventually go, but this was dark as F. Wishdokta went on to become one of THE best UKG producers...UKG fans will know him better as Grant Nelson.
Been trying to find this track for sometime now as I found an old Ellis Dee tape a while ago with this on it (although it was on virtually every tape back then as I remember!) Siiiick tune, a real Hardcore to protojungle monster of a tune. happy days :-)
Weird time...jungle, hardcore, darkcore, intelligent jungle, drum and bass - when you went out, its wasnt always clear what night youd have since the vibe could completely change depending on the DJ.
Call it Jungle, call it Hardcore. We can argue pigeon hole semantics all day. The only thing that truly matters is that this track bangs.
@@carnmarth334 So bitchy.
Agreed proper boss comment. Thanks. :)

It baffles me how music was so much better before the invention of all the music making tech we have now.
I look at the comments and they're 1 year, 2 years , 3 years or so ago.....but then this track is almost 30 years ago...music is so wonderful!

Awesome tune that came out just before the dark jungle / happy hardcore 'split' - this was a short but wonderful period of strange but glorious music
You neglected to mention the intelligent jungle / d&b sound - it was a three-way split. I went this route: Fabio, Bukem etc.
Imo hardcore was way better at that time. I respect everything artists did moving forward, but even as someone who was just a toddler at the time it's one of my favorite moments in the history of the culture.

Loved this in 1993 and still loving it in 2023.. what epic music 😊
And now it's 20 24 still rocking to the core. Hay DJs make this music GRAT AGAIN

So £25 then 🤣🤣
I remember seeing Vibes perform this live at Vibealite way back in time. Awesome track and it has stood the test of time so well! How I wish it was still 1993......
Vibealite was wicked mate
This is so fascinating…. The hardcore scene was breaking up… here’s Vibes making a vocal tune that is so beautiful but at the same time beyond dark!
Such a amazing tune in 93! Way ahead of its time!
The 90s.
The best raving times of our lives and the best raving era that there ever was, or ever will be!
We were there!
We're still rollin. They don't make them like they used to. Big up Vibes and the original ravers. Music still so wonderful
Will always be one of my favourites ❤ Turn up that BASS! 😬
The rocket Holloway road the wall of sound..... LOL where your insides litually vibrated with the bassssss!!!!
That breakdown at 1.28 was the breakdown that made your E go boom! 93 anthem.
OzkJaimTer you know it bruv 👍
Shiver at 1:28 striking xtc even now without dove

Reminds of driving the Xr3i to Knutsford service station with these kind of tunes

Funny as fuck
Now that was a proper rave up!!
Yeah especially the ladies looking like Alice Cooper with theyre mascara running down there faces!!!!
God you must if seen some sights. Me being one of em lol
Almost every Sunday morning 93 - 94 you'd have been handing flyers to me 100% best times

This was the ONLY track that crossed the hardcore and jungle divide perfectly............its one in a million this tune tbh

I think the same, it was definitely a crossover tune. If you love the old skool please check out the new old skool we are making on our page...

Massive Choon Shane my old mate 🎉😅
One of my all time favourite tracks!! This era is unparalleled. It still think 1993 was the best year in the 90s for music and for raving.
Its Crap how the sounds changed in such a short space of time!
@@Sterlingjob It was nuts how things we had so many changes and so many scenes spawn off of it.
91-93 were the magic years
@@gurneymcbuzzin Agreed!! Magic mushroom years too hahaha
@TakeMeBackPirateRadio
Hard to pick a year...
For oldschool Hardcore it's got to be '92. For me, that year was the absolute peak of the Hardcore era rudie!
Hardcore to Jungle crossover, Jungle Tekno and Darkcore (and with raves that still had an old school rave vibe) - it's gotta be '93. A special year for me.
Peak Jungle year/s (and the only years that have any Happy Hardcore I like) - '94 / '95. Sooo many riddims and raves!
Generally I loved all of the 90's though!
proper tune
One of the best hardcore tunes ever
Damn right
Also one of the best jungle tunes ever!
Don't think I have heard the jungle version o am only familiar with this breakbeat hardcore version
One of the greatest crossover bangers of all time.. pure hardcore/jungle sex 💥💥💥💥
Music so fucking wonderful
bad boy tune and still listening in 2023 the good old days 😂😂😂

Paul Mullings I have to disagree. This was early 93 before D&B or jungle came along. It was hardcore
@@dc110770 sorry but you are wrong, jungle started in 93 and this was mixed perfectly with that jungle sound by many. Paul Mullings is spot on here...
