Thank you for Everything you have made. Pure Rave Legend Ron
For anyone that doesn't know, Jay Cunning made a 2 part interview with Ron Wells a few years back (available on Soundcloud). Definitely worth a listen for anyone interested!
I remember listening to that ! Fantastic interview , before the covaids nonsense .. didn’t he produce “A trip to trumpton“ as well ? Legend !
Massive track for U18’s rave in 92’ .
Ron Wells = The Don!
Heaven sent beautiful track has it all
Yeah so lovely ❤️
Ron the Don, quality stuff…honoured to have had Ron remix one of our tracks.
Yeah that's a badge of honour for sure 😎
Your website looks great by the way
Hi Jake
Finally got round to listening to this episode….well worth the wait!! 🎯
You forget just how many tunes Ron was involved in…..amazing tunes!
Just bought “Set me Free” he did under the citizen Kaned alias…..🎯💥🎶
Nice one Paul 👊
Yeah the catalogue is huge.
We're very lucky to have all of these tunes at our disposal these days 🙏❤️
last time I saw Ron was at the Tango memorial night at Hare and Hounds Brum. He was amazing that night
Top night and great crowd it was too...
What a story!
😊
Absolute Quality Jake ..... love all them tracks but my personal fave is plight of the inovators, not only does it scramble and un scramble your head at the same time but the track name is genius ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks pal.
And yeah that's a quality track 😎
Full mix now uploaded.
Defiantly looking forward to this mix. 👍😍
Basement was 'buy on sight' - legendary stuff. Big up Ron!
So many great tunes!!
One of my favs is his 93 remake of Kev Bird & Wax Doctor -TBN
Great tune
It's pretty much impossible to pick a favourite out of the tunes Ron worked on, since so many of them are classics. I'll always have a soft spot for We Are Unity though!
Yeah it's incredible how much quality stuff he's done
You could probably have an all-nighter with 10 different Dj’s just playing the works of Ron Wells / Basement and it would kick the dick out of any fake rave/edm bullshit of today !
Great channel , much love 😎
Class! Being a bit of a production geek, these tunes sound so well made. I could be wrong but there's real synths and drum machines at play here with meticulous sampled breaks. Well sequenced and produced with a nice sheen of quality. Obviously love the sample heavy lofi sound of the day too, but Ron's tunes sound on a different level! Thanks for the great showcase and excellent mix! 👌
Yeah great that you appreciate them on that level. I remember back in the early 90's when these tunes first came out, I knew nothing at all about where they came from or how they were made...all I knew was that something magical was happening. ❤️
@@rave-vinyl-reminiscence Absolutely mate! 👍
Big Thank you to the mystery DJ who so kindly donated all those records and can't wait to hear them. Thank you Jake for another great video i love those electronic experienced tunes they are ones i have in my own collection Great stuff Jake
Thanks for the recognition for my pal mate 👊
Honestly....the tunes I have from him are SO SO good 😁😎
Yeah the Electronic Experienced stuff is beeeeeautiful !!
@@rave-vinyl-reminiscence Thank you for this amazing youtube channel nothing like this existed until now
@@Mr_Dia-Tribe
Ah cheers ❤️
It's a joy and a privilege making these videos and having everyone here with me 🙏
Big up the Ron Wells, absolute legend of the scene… so many superb tunes captured in that mix, fantastic tribute, cheers
Hey Jake, I didn’t realise all those aliases were Ron Wells.
So many amazing tunes made by him. Looking forward to hearing the full mix.
Yeah interesting hey 😊
Mix coming soon...it's a lovely listen ❤️
Brilliant Cant wait for next episode.
Lovely stuff 👌 looking forward to the full mix
❤️
Got so much love for Ron Wells.
Been blessed to work with him also.
Not often someone is responsible for creating and pioneering a new genre in Jungle Techno like he did.
He has such a strong musical DNA, what I mean by this is lots have collaborated with him (including myself), and the end product is just so heavily Ron Wells sounding it's foundational. He has a very very strong sonic blueprint!
He brushes aside the legend status we all hold for him. He states that there are far superior musicians in the world for that title. But the fact is the Rave and early D&B Jazz evolution, Ron has left a massive impact in both, undisputed and understated and continues to do so today. I urge you check his recent creations in both styles.
He changed my life in a positive way and I'll forever be an admire and friend of his!
Love your channel by the way, you should do a newer style Jungle Techno series. Plenty of great tunes still being made! ❤ 😉
Respect to you too Mr Silk, you make some cracking tunes mate 👊🏻
Respect Dan 👊
Thanks for all that. Must have been great to work with him.
Any stand out suggestions you have for the newer style stuff, I'd love to hear them 😎
@@rave-vinyl-reminiscence yeah was a magical time to work with Ron back in 2018. I'll link you some discogs releases links as the videos will be on there.
@@DSilkSmooth cheers 👊
Ron is a legend. The imprint he has made on the jungle techno and atmos DnB scene is huge. I interviewed him a couple of years ago in Portugal. For anyone who wants to watch the interview the link is on my channel
Nice one pal...just been watching your interview
Dope as always. Respect!
👊❤️
Did some great tunes with topbuzz Ron's a rave legend aka jack smooth good video mate 👍🏻💿👈🏻👍🏻🎼
👊
Love all of these tunes some of Ron Wells tunes overlooked are Earl Grey, Citizen Kane and the instrumental version of trip to trumpton.
Yeah there so many mate 👊❤️
Top shelf mix Jake. Big ups! 🙌
Cheers pal 👊
And the mixing was spot on too , what a banging set ❤
Thank you mate 🙏
Easy Jake. Another quality vlog & what an episode. Great tunes & you've hardly scratched the surface of Ron's work. All of the tunes in this mix are personal favourites with some amazing memories attached. Thanks for the mix & as ever much respect to you bud 👍🏻👊🏻
Cheers Andy 👊
Yeah you could fill some serious time with Ron's work over the years.
Very nicely, done thanks fella :0)
Cheers 👊❤️
Thank you Ron your music is awesome, really enjoyed this episode dude, what timeless music and loved the visuals to the tunes you did , you really captures the right feelings and settings they give you , send shivers down my spine ❤
😊👊🙏
Ah great shout doing this Jake. Before my mid life crisis I didn't quite realise how important Ron was for the scene, not being a man on the usual tape packs I bought back in the day as a kid. Didn't know he was a great DJ too. Thanks Jake and keep it up!! Ollie
Cheers Ollie 👊
Milk that midlife crisis pal 😎
@@rave-vinyl-reminiscence 👍🫡
I interviewed Ron a few years back for Ransom Note online magazine and his responses were fantastic and made for an amazing read and insight. Think it was quite cathartic for him as he got all of it off his chest as well 😀 Amazing, amazing tunes and such a stamp of quality across all of them (and there are a lot of them!).
Oh mate great.
Stick a link to it here if CZcams will let you 👍
Love that Ransom Note interview!
Dude your a legened and a top mixer and a hardcore lover to the soul 100%l, im so pleased I could help you n your channe grow, thank you for the kind words , your a inspiration to me too after all these years , much ❤ brother 😊
Ah mate...I realise now that we've probably chatted before in the comments here without me knowing it was you.
Cheers mate...great to have you here and to be catching up with you again 👊❤️
Ahhhhh the memory's 🤘😎🤘
Super stuff Jake, flawless mixing, big up the Noughty 90's Festival and local DJ Spencer T, a sterns regular 🎵❤️👊
Thank you mate 👊❤️
Ron wells, bad man 💥
Respect to your man for blessing you up with the tunes, love it 👍
You ought to do an episode on cataloguing your tunes interesting to see, BPM ?, year ? Both ?
Thanks for another episode
Thanks mate...and cheers for paying my mate respects for the tune supply.
I'm actually blown away by what I have from him to share with you all.
Doing a short episode on my cataloguing could work....
I'm slightly obsessive with it 😄
Class
Read that title, thought Ron was dead!
Bloody hell...yeah I see what you mean 😆
More VIP than RIP mate
Can I just say that back in the day hearing Ratty play More IQ was a religious experience for me. still gives me chills, pure Detroit vibes. well done Ron
Yeah great stuff mate
About 80% of my favourite tunes turn out to be the product of Ron Wells under an alias, has to have been the busiest man in rave at the time.
😆 ha yeah
11:35 - if my ears and memory are to be trusted, I reckon this break has been lifted, changed and re used in loads of dance tracks, or many are similar (good things are just good things always 😂)
YESSSSSSSS
Those bloody hedgehogs and their affairs
Right bunch of shaggers
Can't wait for the full mix on this. When you say the midas touch Ron Wells absolutely had that more than anyone else i can think of. Not one even ok tune let alone a bad one just 100% bangers. Is a Tango tribute in the pipeline ?🙏
Yeah agreed mate 👊
And yes...Tango will definitely be getting some love at some time in the near future ❤️
Some absolute bangers there jake.Chemical by sub sector is surely Ron's finest 👌
It's definitely up there mate... a truly great tune 🙏
Don't forget Smooth But Hazzardous.
Yep there's another.
Featured one of those tracks in the Darkside Hardcore Mix recently 👊😎
Sounds like you were talking about Ratty at the start of this 😉
Ratty is a top fella... but no it wasn't him
