Met a guy at a house party in Balham about 20 years ago. Randomly got talking about DnB and our favourite tracks and I remember saying that I didn't think Mutant Revisited could ever be topped... Cue flushed cheeks and embarrassed smile... "That's one of mine" he said. Much to his embarrassment, I lost my sh*t! Ran round the party telling everyone I'd met a f*cking music hero. Barely anyone knew what I was talking about (not really a DNB party) but those that knew, KNEW! 💪🙌❤️🔥
You won't get 2 90 mate , none of us will.I know what u mean though this would certainly open the bowels.😉😆"comode"😂U must be from the states.So really didn't really feel the full impact of this uk sound🤔Big up anyway!
@frank Cohen… nope… originally from Leicester, land of Formation and SS… raised near Bristol and Bath so Danny Byrd and Reprezent land… I only say commode as I’m a nurse and see the bloody things every day 😂😂
heard when trace was born, his mom didn't cry, but, legend has it, there was a reece, and 5 mins later, mom and son firefought their way outta the hospital. people went fking nuts
Hearing this, memories flooding back, at the UEA, couple grams deep and Red Stripe in hand stepping like a lunatic with my boys. Man, 95 thru 97 was just the fucking tits for nights out.
1996 was the year Jungle music reached its peak. Lucky to have raved at venues that now don't exist, bought vinyl from the record shops that vanished and listened to pirate radio stations that now have disappeared all that's left is a hissing sound like sizzling bacon. How times changes. Great memories.
I first heard this at a Grooverider set in 1996. The place went absolutely nuts and had several reloads thanks to Mr MC GQ. Awesome tune and so good live! Great memories
Tramen is the father of all drumfunk. Thank you Dom&Roland for the game changing beat! This is insanely good. Never get enough of this track and I can't imagine the feelings of people that heard that in 96'. You can't be ready for this.
Believe me brother I heard it on pirate radio (rude fm London) played by Dylan (whom IAM sure your familiar with)Mind blown is an understatement.It was mainly alot of jump up stuff at the time
still the best mutant remix (concord dawn come a close second. nz represent!!! matt & evan did a damn good job) dom was killer when he was engineering trace. The whole U.E.D album was amazing techstep.
Well, sad thing is that it may never happen. Kids nowadays are so used to music lasting only like 3 to 4 minutes, they're going to see this and think "it's just the same thing for over 9 minutes". It's not. It's called DJ friendly. I cannot deny the importance of this tune though. However, it does not survive well in the current world of rapid media consumption.
this is so utterly different to the original yet just as good. you listen to this in the morning after you've done the deed though! after having no sleep
Greatest DnB tune of all time. Around 6 minutes in is the clean sample of the Tramen/Domen break, if you have the vinyl. I've always wondered if Trace put that break in the bassline in there intentionally so people could sample the break, or if it was a happy accident.
This was the soundtrack to my later teenage years, the scenes changed so much. This along with countless other remind me of so many memory’s, thanks for posting
Grooverider @ Helter Skelter 1996, was the first time I ever heard this! Walked in to the Sanctuary and he was opening with this! Cold… One of the greatest DNB tunes of all time no doubt!
Damn! Trace always knew how to eek out a sound lol. This mix, standard remix AND the Mutant X remix. Just like the variations of 'Sniper' and 'Sonar'. Gotta be honest, I Still bought 'em :)
Note for the new generation, when Trace fucked with Amens, he created these... the Tramens. And this is one of those tracks which perfectly illustrates how techstep jungle all began. If there was no techstep, there wouldn't have ever been neurofunk jungle. RECOGNISE!
lol at the comparison to dubstep. The realms of this tune can never be rivalled by something like dubstep. Big Ups to Trace, this may sound similar to the later sounding Sonar, but for me both of the tracks have enough creativity for me to like them both as individual pieces.
sonar was made around the same time as this in the same recording sessions with dom. it got delayed for years umtil it finally got a prototype release.
What's a dubstep? Oh is it that bugger dumb rumpkins bubble shit that was supposed to oink step drum and bass? Turnip legends said no then drum and bass tore through the dubstep mucky phase. Bigger than reese bass amen roll outs? Not on your nelly mate.. jelly the fuck down with a whimper.. this is how we be flexing big winner bass just let me know what's your weapon of choice and we roll out. HEY!
Philadelphia Hardstep Inc. If you look real close at the label picture in the bed you can see Philly hard step in the credits. Dub2 here sayin long live Karl K Jae kennedy n Dj Trace. Love and repect
@@-jsarni2262just saw this, 4 years after the fact 😂. I had PHI stickers EVERYWHERE. ❤❤ I spent so much $ and time at 611 during the time that Trace worked there. I miss this shit. This was a whole vibe as these kids today like to call everything. Love n respect back atcha.
I can recognize DJ Trace from a mile away. His breaks, bass, synths, arrangement of components is done in such remarkable way that I can instantly recognize Trace. Life Could drum sample is his trademark alongside that wicked Reesy bass that makes my woofer shoot photons. Amongst trillion Amen break samples one can recognize wich one was manipulated by Trace and that, in my humble opinion, is such a macabre and unique possibility to differentiate yourself amongst millions of producers. DJ Trace alongside Nico stands as an tall tower speaker above grey matter that gets overshadowed by the sheer presence of the true sound manipulator.
When your 5 pills deep into a burn out or die rave,this played and it was game on again........ absolute Chaos for my brain which was already slightly foggy....... memories of madness.88-2015 at it.... 52 now hooked for life... Yes fucking yes....
This is psychedelic progressive... Reminds me of when the psyche and prog artists back in the 1960s and 70s reversed the guitar parts within certain tracks! Mutant Revisited is a long player too ;)
wow, you are making me feel old . . But I guess it is a good old. at least one to tell the stories of raves in Philly and Pittsburgh in the late 90s .. . . lol . . peace, Eric The Eturn
@@theeturnoneI'm just seeing this 4 years after the fact Lol. I traveled from Philly to a party in Pittsburgh in, I want to say, 1995 or 96. I can't remember what it was called but maybe it was "Return To Oz" (?) There were two buildings on the property and the property was on the outskirts of the city. It was still an urban area though if that makes any sense. There was a large Warehouse type building and also a smaller barn on the same property. The barn is where the D&B room/ambient room was. Trace and Ed Rush were DJs there, Dieselboy of course, all of the usual suspects Lol.. It was a wild party. I loved every minute of it! Towards the end of the night, as the sun was coming up, it got busted and all I remember is about 20 people getting locked up. But in true Fuck The Law style, the party raged on. We went back to the Best Western and resumed the party there around 5am. One of my best memories of that decade. I miss those days so much. I have nothing left of that time in my life but vivid and corful memories. All of my flyers, cassettes (Lol, I would listen to them so much that they'd break), clothes, photos, etc. from that time have all been lost in moves or whatever. I'd love to meet someone who was at this particular party.

Remember Doc Scott dropping this at Desire 1996, most of the 3000 people there didnt know what had hit them. Seminal tune
What an ffffing night @ Island Music Arena. The Doc is a legend. Big up man
@@TakeMeBackPirateRadio word
@@felixdoylehammond2497 Big up bro!! This tune brings it all back for me. Big up the Desire and One Nation ravers!!
Doc Scott - King of the rollers, one of the best and original pioneers of the craft. Noone does it like them - proper DJ
I think I was one of those ravers mate👍👊. Major bassline
One of the greatest tracks EVER made. In ANY genre. FACT!
Easy, tiger 👆
Yes mate, listen to that intro....my god.
Sonar is better
Facts.
heard when trace was born, his mom didn't cry, but, legend has it, there was a reece, and 5 mins later, mom and son firefought their way outta the hospital. people went fking nuts
^

true story
Amen to that
REECE SCRAM & TAKE COVER
legend has it the tramen was based off gunshots recorded during their escape
Best comment i read so far on good ol yt. excellent bruh!

1996 was a great year for JUNGLE!!!

What a tune,still sounds like it’s from the future even in 2021.
For real!!
Can confirm it still sounds like it's from the future in 2022. Will update in 12 months time.
@@foxual13 how about now?
@@PrfssrFtFngrs yep. Still sounds like it’s from the future. 17/04/23.
Stay tuned for more revelations in the not too distant future.
@stevenfox8689 just checking in mate - still sound like it's from the future?
Hearing Ray Keith drop this at Desire in 96 was on of the greatest moments of my life.
Island Music Arena in Ilford!! That was top venue.
1st heard this played out at Movement down Bar Rumba. Same venue I first heard Souljah 'Fade to Black' out loud at a rave. Both blew my socks off!
Once this tune was made, there was no going back. Drum and Bass only and forever. Love this scene.
It was a game changer ❤
jungle is the most emotional music ever .how a track like this can push every feeling to a burning galaxy
the dark dnb vibe gives you strength. it's pure fuel man.
youre right man ;) jungle rules ! best music ever :)
@@snakenoduckcrew117 But.....it's not Jungle. D&B?
trance from the 90s has the same effect.
@@marcgj123 It's Techstep.
Epic drops & rumbling bass, fuck we was spoilt in the 90s with these timeless classics.
T power had his masterpiece twisted beyond recognition by DJ trace. a classic to this day.
yes yes dj wicked em sound
I learned so much from the comments here; big up all jungle historians!
Absolute monster intro tune , still get goosebumps to this day ! Randall used to roll this out hard!
Quadrant 6 intro too🔥
Can you handle the Randall
I first heard this at a Grooverider set in 1996. The place went absolutely nuts and had several reloads thanks to Mr MC GQ. Awesome tune and so good live! Great memories
Sounds like a dustbin giving birth.. Brilliant!
Haha yes!!
Brilliant.
100%
Techstep kezdete! Minden dark drum&bass alapja!!!!
Korszak alkotó zene!
Nagy köszönet Magyarországról Dj Trace!
Absolutely wicked 12" press!!! Rinsed out all over London town. Big it up!!
My favourite Song of all time. For real, never get tired of listening to this man. 💯❤️❤️❤️✌️✌️✌️🤟☢️☣️🇬🇧🏴
Again,nuff respect to Trace for dis one, but don't forget Dom for his input,big up D.Angas
I’m crying again!!! So many memories!!! What a tune!!!!
So ahead of its time.
Was lucky enough to meet Trace when he worked at 611 records in Philly....big up from the US
big tune from way back when tunes were breaking through
Grooverider, Auckland, 1996...first tune, boom!
I remember dropping this and people didn't get it , times change and peeps caught up
This is the best song. Ever. Ever. Ever
MONSTER CLASSIC
Ahhhh played this 12 at so many parties, it's worn out.
Nuff said. Seminal remix. Doesn't seem like 18 years ago.
James Curry time is infinite on an infinite loop setting your true self is immortal , a creative power
When you hear this tune after years. So good you wanna leave a message then seeing you already did 4 years ago. Lmao. Great track
Love most of the versions of this track, absolute war riddim
Techstep
Could rewind this forever
Tramen is the father of all drumfunk. Thank you Dom&Roland for the game changing beat! This is insanely good. Never get enough of this track and I can't imagine the feelings of people that heard that in 96'. You can't be ready for this.

Changed everything
One of the greatest tracks of all time!!! FACT!! ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤
old school classic :D
This should have 38 million views not 38 thousand...................its that important. I was very very happy with my £2 purchase. :-)

Damn! Trace always knew how to eek out a sound lol. This mix, standard remix AND the Mutant X remix. Just like the variations of 'Sniper' and 'Sonar'. Gotta be honest, I Still bought 'em :)
All these techstep tunes had production and mix help from Mr.Angas, aka Dom and Roland, just read the labels on the 12"'s.
Also he did the same with "move" later on dci4 .lost of versions
Hold tight the junglist MASSIVE 🔉🎶🔉🎶🔉🎶

And this is one of those tracks which perfectly illustrates how techstep jungle all began. If there was no techstep, there wouldn't have ever been neurofunk jungle. RECOGNISE!
Dr. Socrates UK allegedly it was dom (& his Roland) who created them. ofcourse the rest is all trace
Epic Tune, one of my favorites ; )
I wish I could hear this for the first time again.
Never gets old.
BIG TUNE
Such atmosphere; a distinctive Trace sound.
This goes off on every dancefloor it's dropped on.
