Apologies for sticking my nose in yet again without responding to some of the comments upthread (I still havent voted :D), but regarding No-U turn: 'The Force is electric' remix is one of the finest jungle tunes ever made. Totally shook me when it came out, along with most of content of that 'techsteppin' compilation on Emotif.

When I came across that vocal sample years later on a sound tape I got the shivers... '...assassinate, exterminate and tun over every sound!'

(BTW That video is definitely pitched up :confused:)

i've got a white label, with everything stamped on, think its the original though, the b side is good, uses the same sample that luke vibert used on one of the plug records and a pitched down gangstarr sample.

i remember really distinctly the torque era stuff entering the clubs, it was just a massive cold rush, i remember reacting to it, like yes this is EVIL!!
haha be careful what you wish for.

my favorite (& I would say the best) No U-Turn release hands down...one of those records where I wonder - did these dudes know they were creating this work of absurd genius while they were making it? it certainly looks like it in that video, lol at dude in the studio with his shirt off...

also: definitive techstep compilation, Techsteppin or Torque? I reckon Torque by a fair bit but I'm prepared to hear other opinions on the matter...

alright, so I didn't vote for him (or even include him in the poll) but, as per D'Cruze...the case for Graham Mew aka Doctor G aka The Invisible Man...

Would've been good to give a shout to lemon d alongside dillinja. Urban style music/ this is LA is too good! The souljah stuff is pretty awesome too, fade 2 black and 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 are amazing. He managed to move seamlessly from intricate headz breakwork style releases to big steppy stuff in his post 96 period but, like dilli, tailed off dramatically. I think he did that tune that sampled shook ones that featured on the kool fm dizzee rascal set a while ago, massive tune!

All this talk of bizzy b reminds me there's no mention of equinox yet. Which reminds me there's been no mention of asc, frac and nep, breakage et al, a lot of that stuff was well jungley in spirit, and if you're gonna mention newer stuff like soundmurderer and sk1, these guys should def get a mention. Big shout for Digital too.

Seeing how optical's mentioned on the list, maybe a shout for dom and roland too? The stuff he did on saigon was pretty jungley and pretty good. Mechanics is amazing, dom's an absolute master of the amen.

Soz about the lack of tune links/poor punctuation, doing this from my phone.

The above and Mad Different Methods on Nu-Black 001. Completely black record sleeve and design. Although it was released in 96, Trace was caning MDM all through the summer of 95 on his Kool FM set. I was addicted to that set, and loved that early techstep sound in 95, and it seemed like a perfect partner to the dirty and dark east coast hiphop of the time. The Techsteppin' LP has some real good moments, including Doc Scott's Machines. I still don't know who to vote.
