crazy car, crazy music

That isolated bass track is absolutely beautiful. Man.

Demon setup

E8 Boogie!

dit is echt teringlauw

7:53 ❤

Looks like DAT multi-tracking with PC in 1996. And Disney has shit like that also. Is this a privilege? In 1996 RAM load was enough for that video card. I bet the audio is still sitting on tape somewhere in 1996.

lmao those headphones are like 10000000 db

absolut madlads

Netanyahu wouldn’t find this funny

This started the fall of the British Empire

Photek was the shit

Glorious anarchy

LEGENDS!

You can tell they are so down to earth they say that they like to drive the fast cars, make the beats chill and check out the girls. The music was far ahead of its time.

This is absolutely awesome (but I can pretty much guarantee that his neighbors at the time disagreed). 😂

what version of cubase is that? Interface doesn't look Atari...Win 3.1?

It was very original back then-something new. He was just being himself. It really shows that it doesn't matter what you use. Yes, you have tighter MIDI with those older computers-something Ableton could never do. Many folks are returning to older gear for that grime and hardware timing; I'm not surprised. The first time I heard of Photek was on the Astralwerks website back in the late '90s. I listened to a sample and then ordered the CD-back when you had to wait for music in the mail. His tracks were totally original. At the time, I didn't know how much he capitalized on it or how much he earned by doing it. When I first heard DnB, I thought it was a bit silly speeding up drum rhythms over ambient atmospheres, but somehow it just stuck.

Genius

Those times fucking oozed atmosphere of progressive energy and excitement, something we have long lost today and it pisses me off to no end!

It’s dark drum and bass gen z wouldn’t understand

Bepop is just as important as dnb

To link things up, this has been sampled by Belgian artist Supreems on the title track of his LP (which is banging). @1:30 here turns into this: czcams.com/video/wZjR_WaHMTc/video.html&ab_channel=MajesticCasual

You you know? Herbie Hancock and Miles Davis chant NamMyohoRengeKyo in the SGI ☺️🙏☀️🍀

The cast description from the movie clip has all come true.

Master guide od the master ,love photek trax ❤

My favourite sketch I think.

M3 too oh my days

DnB 1996 (LolaDaMusica) part1: Photek

Thank you. See GB. Mann music center, philly. One of a kind player

Source Direct is still my favorite d 'n' b artist of all time, and generally one of my favorite electronic groups of the 90s. Just an incredibly rare and original sound, and it hasn't aged a day. I remember playing Source Direct records at raves here in the states back in the mid-90s and people would go insane. I also just learned after watching this video that Joy O sampled this interview at the 1:30 mark on his track "Ellipsis".

Pardon the question, but what track is playing during the car ride to his flat? With the Dutch narration? Thanks!

The Crane is my fave tune .

Anyone know where I can get The Hidden Camera poster we can see at 1.03 ? ty

1:29 Joy Orbison ‘Ellipsis’ sample

I just assumed he chopped and mangled those drum breaks on tracker software like OctaMed or Impulse !!

"College - A lot of Bollocks really". amazing quote

LADS

Teach me how to make breaks like this please 🙏

what’s number 8?

My favorite guitarist 🅿️, his approach is always smooth and awesome. Pure Beast

I was born '96. But I was looking for a video about how they produced jungle/dnb tracks in the 90s. Alot of those tracks are on vinyl so that was my clue the genre was originally analog. Fascinating!

Pure Magic

Photek had the knack of sampling the best musicians in the world.

1:28 Joy O - Ellipsis

If you're asking, the music at 1:30 is "Ni Ten Ichi Ryu"

yes we can do this all in the box now how ever those old samplers imparted something in to the sound due to its digital to analog converters

Gold....long gone are these heady dayzzzz.....90s please come bk most of us ravers arnt meant for these millennial times ....worlds gone nuts but the 90s music keeps me real and sane.....Big up source direct x

Anyone know the name of the song playing at the start?

Min. 4:30 "Lonely Fire" By Miles Davis, "Big Fun" Album !!!! Masterpiece !!!!
