Love the new comments from people on this. I'm starting new night in Southend bringing back this sound. Sound system is based on valve dub reggae days.
@@lestat305 they're pretty much... the same? I mean, theres not really a Big difference between them except for the peak year and the feeling in general (one much more happy, the other one more darker)
Gold! From a time where each tune didnt try and a bring and entire blends-worth of music by itself. Tunes like this almost challege you to mix them. Halycon days
I’m hugely proud the music that shaped me and plays in my soul has over 200,000 views. Big love to those that know and those that have discovered.. respect ❤
I miss The Rex SO much!!! It always felt lik a proper mission to get there from where I used to live (especially on the way home!) but so worth it. Grotty, moody, big, loud and always heaving with people. The best.
id pay good money for this to be digitally re-released. one of the best tunes d&b has ever seen. my vinyl copy has been played to death, so much that the little hole in the middle for the spindle is too big now. so so so good!
Ollie Duracell Selotape will make it small again. Used to do it all the time on scratch records. Put 2 strips over the hole in a cross formation and use a pin to pierce it.
Even though this was released in 98, Trace was dropping versions of it (presumably on dubplates) as early as 96. Source: I was there at all the early parties in the US Trace played on the East Coast (Philly, Baltimore/DC, etc.) in 1995/96.
LOL it was always a joke how long things took to get from dub to the shops. By the time it was released it felt old or played out. 2 years i a new one to me tho that's funny.
I have this record on vinyl. In very good condition. Bought it at nicky blackmarket's record store in London. OMG - it was so massive back in those days.
This track used to fucking goo off. Never seen craziness like it. Mad all the heads would bop and arms and legs all over the shot. We used to act like we was dancing soldiers to this beast of a track. This goes out to the German.
trace lived in nz for 6 months or so around the time of the prototype release and used to drop a new remix of this every week when he played, pity none of those got released, i still have fond memories of a version full of air raid sirens he used to bust out when shit was going crazy.
Ministry 1999 thru 2005ish..it was the best times of our lives..bailey .. bc rec. Dillinja Virus rec. Loxy n ink. Grooverider..goldie..kemistry n storm.. This tune is forefront in those memories.
what an atmosphere it creates and still keeps even after the drop very mature balance between atmospheric dnb and techstep Trace knew how to produce juicy fruits
О тёска, я тоже Василий но из Житомира. Не знал что москали, "гейропейскую" музыку слушают. Я лично Трейса видел Live 4 раза, outstanding dj. Слава Україні 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Just got into Trace, man has some pure fire in his discography. His remix of A Better Place by DJ Tasmin & The Monk is one of my favourite ever productions.
We need to get back there on so many levels. Last era of substance. Originality and creativeness only copied and watered down these days. Glad I was there
That’s a good fucking shout...I can hear the sequence of the martial arts movie samples over the bass and drums of this being floor destroying (in my head)🤣
2018 and i'm back for some more of this shit. Can't beat this sound. special memories from my youth flood back with this tear out bassline throbbing through my house. Time to hard step and bounce like i was 19 years old again.
@@jleigh313 yeah look up Dom and Roland, DJ Dylan, Technical Itch, anything on Virus, anything on Renegade Hardware. Oh also any old Bad Company tunes and Dread Recordings.
What a place. Went to the last ever one there . Even the bus ride is crazy to that place. History . All those tape packs always from there. A raving institution
Man these type of tunes put me in it go be great mood no matter what I'm doing I'm going to be the best at it and make it look easy thanks for this tune I'm going to be great now

That will good, hows the event coming on any dates booked yet?
Still goosebumps when the bass drops
Try it on 10 love doves in the day...
Unmistakable Trace. Having your own sound in DnB is rare.
Legend!
i love it when you go on a tune like this and people are still commenting on it...... this is real drum and bass
2020 says hello.
Next levels still in 2020 and beyond. Brutality at its finest
Its jungle my guy
@@lestat305 they're pretty much... the same? I mean, theres not really a Big difference between them except for the peak year and the feeling in general (one much more happy, the other one more darker)
@@sebaloko99bt yeah but jungle is more rhythm than just drum and bass, compare this to now a days drum and base lol. Jungle created dnb
Gold! From a time where each tune didnt try and a bring and entire blends-worth of music by itself. Tunes like this almost challege you to mix them. Halycon days
Absolutely 💯
A Techstep masterpiece. I used to love mixing with this tune back in the day. Feckin double-awesome… 🔊🔊🔊👊🙏😎
who says you need big over the top fancy drops in D&B this one just comes in and slaps you hard!
I’m hugely proud the music that shaped me and plays in my soul has over 200,000 views. Big love to those that know and those that have discovered.. respect ❤
as one would say inside the rave.. big it up!!!!!!
Good God this was was the first dnb tune I ever heard on radio when I was 12 hooked for life
Simple, honest, brutality at its best.
Big yourself up, Trace.
No mercy.
oh man more than goosebumps, chills!
Found it
Brings tears to my eyes how good this is!!!
SKIBADEE & FEARLESS at BAGLEYS all over this 🔥🔥🔥🙌🏽
Over 20 years old and still in love with this, what a time to be record shopping back then, golden era
Timeless. Feels as fresh today as it did when it first dropped. Still on heavy rotation here 🙌
Remember this dropping at One Nation Stratford Rex... dreamy memories! Truly mesmerising....
Awesome times. I remember Stratford Rex.
I miss The Rex SO much!!! It always felt lik a proper mission to get there from where I used to live (especially on the way home!) but so worth it. Grotty, moody, big, loud and always heaving with people. The best.
Legendary tune
I remember picking this up from Ray Keith in Blackmarket Records at 16 in May 1998
Nice. Ray is the man
This tune changed my life. Undeniably epic.
Mine too. I saw the future when I heard this tune
Legendary tune still smashes
id pay good money for this to be digitally re-released. one of the best tunes d&b has ever seen. my vinyl copy has been played to death, so much that the little hole in the middle for the spindle is too big now. so so so good!

indeed...
From an old bluenote soldier. This is the best dnb track that existed. For simplicity and it raised the roof on plate. #MetalheadsDays
The best dnb track in history right here. Many a night to this one at the note. Sweaty days
Rip the vinyl you have.
Still sends chills down my spine when that reese kicks in.
Notice the additional engineering by Dom and Roland(D.Angas) Big up yourself Dom!!!!
I just love this! New music doesn't have as much feeling.
big track Flamaz 🔥🔥🔥
cos they try and do rollers without the keys or vibe just technical shit

Such a simple track but oh so effective
GOOSEBUMPS FOR LIFE KIND OF TUNE.
I remember DJ Dazzee dropping this at Power House in Bristol in 1998 with Skiba on the mic. I was 16 years old. Man I miss dem days!
All time top ten dnb tunes. Techstep in the late 90s was so far ahead and raw as botulism rudebwoy
I have this record on vinyl. In very good condition. Bought it at nicky blackmarket's record store in London. OMG - it was so massive back in those days.
Have you got decks to play it on ?
With these long intros every track was a journey
Shy FX dropped this hardcore with Skibbadee and Fearless on 89.5. What a set!
0TruckMafk ☢TM™"... The BigMean CommentSection BadAss good times
Just as fresh as ever!!!! Legendary track ❤️❤️🔥🔥❤️❤️🔥🔥
One of the tunes that defined 90's dnb. In the top 5 for sure

There should be a 10 hour mix of this
This is genre defining stuff.
Still sounds amazing today 2019! Big up trace!!

Yip ......good ole drum n bass in Auckland around that time
You sure they were remixes lol
This. Man i miss the Ministry for d&b.
@@multipleerrors3037 Ministry... be hard pressed to find a better club for drum&bass anywhere in the world
Ministry 1999 thru 2005ish..it was the best times of our lives..bailey .. bc rec. Dillinja
Virus rec. Loxy n ink. Grooverider..goldie..kemistry n storm..
This tune is forefront in those memories.
All Time 👊🏼🕺🏻🎶
2024 and this track still gets the neck hairs standing up 🔥
Such a sick tune ❤
what an atmosphere it creates and still keeps even after the drop
very mature balance between atmospheric dnb and techstep
Trace knew how to produce juicy fruits

Timeless classic

Just got into Trace, man has some pure fire in his discography. His remix of A Better Place by DJ Tasmin & The Monk is one of my favourite ever productions.
This track used to destroy venues👌🏼..Classic!!
This track also destroys speakers. My half k Wharfdales were ended by this tune!
@@toby648 😂

Just a few of first tones of this track and my brain got instant attention and goosebumps from this after years. Thanks 4up
I love stepping back into the 90's
We need to get back there on so many levels. Last era of substance. Originality and creativeness only copied and watered down these days. Glad I was there
Still a banger like fk!
Absolute dirt from start to finish! One of the greatest dnb tunes ever!
Murderous track...simple, still killing it in 2019! Nuff said, one of my all time favs
Great memories to this track
uff, drum and bass to the fullest!
Tramendous......
All time top 5 banger for moi.
Still one of my favourite records, mix shadow boxing into it for awesome!
The lost art of blending two tunes together...
That’s a good fucking shout...I can hear the sequence of the martial arts movie samples over the bass and drums of this being floor destroying (in my head)🤣
Optical and Trace remix is dope too.
Good thing this is posted, my copy is worn out.
This tune is sicker than sick. Still as fresh as the day it was released
2018 and i'm back for some more of this shit. Can't beat this sound. special memories from my youth flood back with this tear out bassline throbbing through my house. Time to hard step and bounce like i was 19 years old again.
One of my all time favourites ❤️
still of the best, hearing this drop in early 2000s was next level.
3 people don't understand the Vibez of this absolute classic ! That bass !!!
Kids deez dayz just dun know maaaaan. They jus dun knooooow.

Was into Techno until I heard this tune in 1998....Grooverider, Goldie and Optical - Prototype Label Night
one of those tunes ive heard thousands of times and still sounds quality, the drop , booommmmmm
The level,thanks.
Reminds me of the Santuary in Milton Keynes this tune used to rip the roof off back in the day.
What a place. Went to the last ever one there . Even the bus ride is crazy to that place. History . All those tape packs always from there. A raving institution
@@barrydooley2484 indeed it was a great venue the place everyone went to in the 90s had so many good nights there🙌
Wicked tune
Banger!
The big tramen+reece bassline in this is massive.
nice pfp
I remember this track from 'Essential mix BBC' (cannot remember the year). Had it on cassette.
I found it; Ed Rush & Optical - Essential Mix (1999).
Such a tune
It's still right there years later
Absolutes carnage.
Yes yes
Ah, memories.
i’d follow that b-line anywhere. will always be a stormer track 👺
Proper intro, still a smasher
