From the LP: Bad Company - The Pulse / China Cup - Label: Prototype Recordings - Released: 1999 Problem with the video? Please tell me and it will be removed immediately!
I got told off by my manager for ordering 150 copies of this in the record shop I worked in. They all sold in a week, and it was out of stock at Vinyl Distribution the next week. Never did get an apology for that ;)
Whenever I’m mixing for ppl who don’t really know dnb this is the go to to take them down the deep well of filth the transition from chill vibey roller to absolutely dirty filth is just unbeatable the look on their faces as that mean baseline starts to claw it’s way into the mix is priceless so much love
I love the beginning of this track. Brings back so many memories. I remember spinning this on my brothers technique 1200's. Nothing better then vinyl in my opinion. Damn I wish i had a time machine. These were truly the best days of my life.
These tunes remind me of when I was a kid and me and my best friend would go back 2 back on the decks and mic. Miss those days man. Rip Keiron Stevens 1983-2011
Weird that's what i remember when i listen to this tune. Standing in my mates dark bedroom on the decks mixing the tech step shit while the other Mc's and keep switching and smoking the herbs. great times. Big up yourself and your mate Keiron. He'll be up in heaven rinsing it out with Kemistry, Steve hyper D, Spirit and all the fallen junglist soldiers. RIP.
Not so much the MC'ing but me and my friend used to see how well we could mix into each others tunes. Play 1 or 2 then swap over that was great fun. RIP to your friend such a short life but hope he had a good life.
I had the pleasure of hearing this at a rave first and not from a tape pack. That build up and drop was revolutionary back then. Bad company were game changers!
This was literally heralded as the DnB tune of the year when it came out by everyone - the people and the underground media. Fresh was the genius in this group - he went on to achieve crazy stuff in an ultra passionate scene. A non-commercial, monoculture full of free people who loved dirty, raw music and, of course, drugs.
Heard this in the late nineties when I used to tape Fabio and Grooverider’s 2 till 4am radio show on late radio one. It is in my drawer somewhere gathering dust. I still remember, I think, Fabio introducing as “I’m not sure what this is yet but I’ll find out”. Played it over and over the next day when I listened to the tape
I had the same experience mate. I started working in London around then, used to tape Fab n Groove, listen to them all week until the next show and go to Blackmarket etc every lunchtime to spunk my overdraft
I used to love double dropping this with... well everything. the percussion during the intro let you get the tempo right and then when the bassline starts quiet at 1:47 you can use that to keep it time so the double drop is perfect. Not just a good tune but a good tune for DJ's to double up with. Classic.
In certain ways, the mixdown is actually clearer or at least more even on these old tunes than on modern day stuff. There are strange artifacts and frequencies clashing a little, but bass is actually bass, mids are atmospheric and tops are covered by cymbals and shakers. The whole loudness war has made people forget to make music for the vibe and they're trying to program the loudest clearest mixdowns possible. I enjoy a good clear mix, but if the tune doesn't get you moving, what's the point?
Daniel Vousden Amen. I am so infinitely tired of the production wankfest that happened after Noisa had reigned neuro for a couple of years. All I hear in new techy tunes are kicks and snares. The rest 100% uninspired, perfectly produced garbage.
+Daniel Vousden Agreed. And it's not so much the the analog synthesizers as seems to be the fetish at the moment, as the old analog mixers and processors and such. Although an analog filter certainly doesn't hurt the sound at all.
from the first time I heard this tune almost 20 years ago it has still been my favourite bad company tune. yes I think if I could only have one BC tune it would be this one.
Played this in my car today, I was soaring down the freeway. 🔥 A classic track, remember hearing this track back in 2009, man were those great times, It’s an ease for me to connect and feel the rhythm. There’s just no beating of a classic. Wish there were similar today, at least they exist for me to still enjoy! 😁

Instant chills hearing this, took me right back to when i first heard it and the many days in the garage spinning this track and hearing it on the radio and on mixtapes. Classic!
its fun to make your own patterns in your mind with the synth just before the drop. because the drop comes in so unexpected it cud get u up jumpin easily bangin tu e
Audio - break it, loadstar bomber. Please listen to those tunes. People only think dnb has gone down hill now because the only stuff on radio is 'pop n bass' but there's still loads of good stuff out there
dude listen to those tunes, there not comercial or wack. u guys are probably not into that sort of dnb anyone. look up some neurofunk artists, that stuff is as close as it come to old badcompany ect....
Sean Roberts just no. go check out what dj trace is still doing and dom n rolands last few have been great remember your roots and the one on metalheadz and the hole of scientific wax records !now that is close to this !
I got told off by my manager for ordering 150 copies of this in the record shop I worked in. They all sold in a week, and it was out of stock at Vinyl Distribution the next week. Never did get an apology for that ;)
good ear, mate!
nice!
May I ask where this was? That manager needed a proper slap lol
I tried to buy it on iTunes but they were run out there too
Drum and Bass - England`s greatest export.
Terminator X spot on.

Mix it with the Beckoning to go deeper 👍👍👍👍👍
Cheers mate
Haha my mate always has this in his sets, I think he uses it the same way 👊
It's probably played in all the partys 🥳
I never get invited too
Who's still listen to this f*ckin' choon in 2021? Fuckin luv it!!!
2024 and its fresher than ever. \m/
2024 🎉❤
The Golden Era of drum ‘n bass ❤️
Raving 2000? Global Gathering Good Times!)
Indeed the golden era.
I say gold.. You say era... Pukka
I got into the rave scene around 1990. 1990 - 2020 it's all been golden.
100%
This tune will STILL straight up murder a fucking dancefloor to this day. Bad Company at their best, man... absolute all-time classic banger! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I could listen to that intro all day
I love the beginning of this track. Brings back so many memories. I remember spinning this on my brothers technique 1200's. Nothing better then vinyl in my opinion. Damn I wish i had a time machine. These were truly the best days of my life.

sorry for your loss mate. he was a good lad. and a good tune to send him off to his next place.
Sorry for your loss mate
Don't care how old this tune is, it never get's old. Such a classic
bad company made the best back in the day
+Charr Markham yh their inspiration was flowing endlessly, good times
A true banger absolutely love it
fucking hell, what a banger !!!! even 15 years later...
now 17 and counting..
@@dillpickle1989 22 years and still fucking amazing
25 and counting..
Proper D&B the best times 96/2004 Double drop this with the Nine absolute brilliance on my 1210s love it💞
WHAT A TUUUUUUNE!!!! Remember hearing this being rinsed out in 2001! What a time to be alive!!!!
Probably the most timeless of the Bad Co rippers. I find myself liking this one more as time goes by.
2024...still absolutely lightyears ahead of its time...like music from another planet
Its crazy how most jungle/dnb from 93-01 still sounds fresher than what came after.
I had the pleasure of hearing this at a rave first and not from a tape pack. That build up and drop was revolutionary back then. Bad company were game changers!
That transition towards the beginning just blew my mind! 🤯

Don’t discount Dbridge, ever
well said
Yeah I remember, was absolutely massive. BC changed the game at the time
thanks for the culture g
Can hear Dbridge on the controls here

Remember this tune sneaking into the mix at raves in the early naughties - absolute scenes!!
I remember Logan D first dropping it on Kool FM 1999.
This tune is truly a classic and the flipside of this release is fantastic as well
All I can say is we got similar taste Haha
It's nice to see you tuber's not rowing for once fair play guys

Daniel Vousden Dan, you speak my language.
Couldn't agree more bro. Well said 👍
+Daniel Vousden the main reason is the analog switch over, digital doesn't have the warmth.
Producers need to start using old analog synths again
+Daniel Vousden Agreed. And it's not so much the the analog synthesizers as seems to be the fetish at the moment, as the old analog mixers and processors and such. Although an analog filter certainly doesn't hurt the sound at all.
classic 90's banger....
Aí que saudade das noite de SP aonde se ouvia esse som!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
verdade!
Brings me back, still fresh In 2016
Fkkn banger! All these years later. Got a scratched version of this but still give it horns! Bliss!!!
a tech step classic! from late 90s to early 2000s is the golden era of dnb
from the first time I heard this tune almost 20 years ago it has still been my favourite bad company tune. yes I think if I could only have one BC tune it would be this one.
100%!!!! This is in my top ten all time favourite dnb tunes. 😎🔥🔥🔥
Used to sit with bc making tunes while I was smoking back in the day ... great fun to watch them in action and see the tune develop into an anthem ..
Played this in my car today, I was soaring down the freeway. 🔥 A classic track, remember hearing this track back in 2009, man were those great times, It’s an ease for me to connect and feel the rhythm.

And it had been rocking the clubs for 10yrs before then.
Still a beast now.
2009?
@@shelteringsky6284 the original release date was 1999, I heard this on a CD tape in that year
one of the greatest tunes ive ever heard in my life, STILL
'95-99 was definatley the golden era. Don't think anything past '01 was comparable to the late 90s stuff.
Aphrodite in 2002😏And are we talking about only DNB or different genres of DNB bc drill'n'bass,liquid dnb are still alive
THIS is so true. Those days were so creative and so many new things showed up nearly daily.
@@sandansaiyan5675 drill n bass? oh shut up up prick!!! even liquid, Drum n Bass is Drum n Bass stop with these perfectic side genres
It was an odd time, The Virus sound just tipped it upside down & Hardware just flooding the vibe and UKG taking all the ladies😂
I disagree with you. I think 2003 to 2007 was the definitive golden age for Drum & Bass.
So happy I still have this song. It's still so good.
Love the strings on the intro one of my all time favs
What happened to this era it doesnt get much better than this. The days of seeing this live in Bristol 10 years ago will stay with me forever!!!
Dance-floor filler back in the day. No sitting when this one drops!
So many great memories and this song especially the start really starts them off drum bass 99 best years

My neighbors must be so happy that I'm introducing them this tune
Best drum and bass tune ever!
Soundtrack to my '99

this sh**t never gets old
its fun to make your own patterns in your mind with the synth just before the drop. because the drop comes in so unexpected it cud get u up jumpin easily bangin tu e
This was the perfect sound for pre-millenium paranoia. Soundtrack of 99 in downtown Chicago for me!
99 people expected country rock
What a tune what a tune
Beautiful tune!
yess, loving the old school classics atm
Brings back memories boy!!!!!!!🎵
czcams.com/video/FKPOqyE6kSg/video.html
Awesome track. Awesome build up. Quality production. It sounded too advanced in 1999. Ahead of its time.
Still drop this at my mates he has loads of classics on vinyl
remember hearing this first time at house party on speakers that blew the house down. A long time ago now..
Got it on vinyl so lucky - rave drum and bass
Now, THAT has been some proper DnB! 68er crew -- Mannheim Massive!
A lot of kids today will never know quite how big this tune was 23 years ago.
Love this tune . totally forgot about.
Nasty track. One of my favorite drops.
Pure love..
Thx for sharing
Thanks for the upload btw, one of my faves from back then...
Can't wait to hear some of this tonight!
That bassline still gets my arse moving.
Both cheeks
Bad company are responsible for some serious damage back in day ,so fortunate to have seen live as much as I did
found this one on vinyl in the used record bin at amoeba in hollywood.. tune!
Stratford Rex! One Nation! Every Dj played it in their set...1999!
The Rex was the nuts!!!!
Intro to this always reminds me of F-Zero on the Snes
timeless
CBIВС обожаю вашу группу ещё с начала 00-х годов. CBIВС Maldini & Vegas Presents BAD TASTE, до сих пор у меня этот компакт диск лежит (:
The only thing that ages better than this is a fine wine.
I have this on record and is a fine tune!
BEST OF DNB ""
1999 best year of dnb scene !!!

I raved to this when it was new 😎 miss the old days
Th(E) beautiful memories
A true classic! Thanks for posting
4:42 when the the dancefloor used to turn into a warzone
YES!
banger, back before it became kiddy bass with all this high end screechy shit in it
Audio - break it, loadstar bomber. Please listen to those tunes. People only think dnb has gone down hill now because the only stuff on radio is 'pop n bass' but there's still loads of good stuff out there
feel ya man, good old days. Not the comercial wack shit that is supossedly drum and bass these days.

Timeless
Still sounds fresh
LOVE DIS INTRO
+MARK BENNETT Probs the best DnB intro ever?...
don't forget warhead by dj krust
Bad Company - Planet Dust could compete with this in my opinion, i can't decide wich intro is better
Awesome song!
There is no way this was made in 1999 this is fucking awesome
Hell yeah i was 21 in 99 and this record smashes dance floors. Both fucking sides
Those were the times, when d&b was really tearin' up the place, man.
Pornokurt I couldn't agree more! :D
I remember telling people I'm listening drum and bass, and they were like, whaaaat is that? rock? good old days :D
jebiga, narod nam neobrazovan
