Joining us is V Recordings boss Bryan Gee, Mancunian Acid House hero A Guy Called Gerald, London’s Decibella, Rupture founders Mantra and Double O and Lobster Theremin artist Coco Bryce.

Thanks to Tim Reaper for the wicked track selection! / tim-reaper
Please note this video is not filmed in real time. It’s edited to create some tension so that you in front of the screen can guess as well. It doesn’t say anything about how fast the participants recognised the track etc…
All contestants receive one point each for getting both artist and title correct and only half a point if they can only guess the artist or the title.

Fan of most electronic genres but mainly a techno head. I have watched all the episodes and loved learning classics from other other genres.
Never end this series
like wise but i did know LTJ bukem surprised myself but only because i went to The Final Frontier in London to see Jeff Mills mid 90`s and ended up listening to LTJ Bukem in a different room most of the night lol
Same
Hear Hear!!!
Same
Yeah i was never in techno electronic when i was young ( mind you i'm about 40) I love listening to old stuff and discovering many new bangers. Thanks to everybody involved
This is one of the most quality content on TH-cam
🙏
@@ElectronicBeatsTV we need more like thissss 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼
Same this has got it all going on! Top quality content.
gotta agree, always super excited to see these. doesnt matter what style either, always hype
Agree!
LTJ Bukem is *still* sounding as fresh now as it was back in the day. Another great walk down memory lane!
I goofed that one up. Thought it was Adam F at first.
It was the only one I actually knew
100%
So glad that he's touring with roni size this year
Kidding right? He will go the grave playing droney, lo-fi piano driven two step dogshit. He's a shadow of his former self.
Lots of comments here saying ‘this or that track is dnb,not jungle’.When we were raving to these tunes from ‘93 onwards we didn’t care what they were.’Horizons’ is a dnb track and you would never hear it in a so-called ‘jungle’ or ‘jump-up’ rave back in the day but ‘Pulp Fiction’ was played everywhere and destroyed any dance floor.Fabio and other so-called ‘intelligent dnb’ DJs used to spin it as did people like Hype and Kenny Ken who were known for being ‘jump-up’ ‘jungle’ DJs.You can’t put everything in a box.Before the split in summer/winter ‘94 most junglists/dnb heads in London and elsewhere would interchange the 2 terms.There are a few people who want to educate others about the ‘rules’ of jungle/dnb like ‘if it’s sampling ragga/reggae it’s jungle.Or if it’s jazzy it’s dnb.I doubt many of these educators were a part of the scene or even born when these tunes were being rinsed.I’m lucky to own 8 of these tracks,bought at Blackmarket Soho,LuckySpin(DeeJay Recordings home)Boogie Times Romford(Suburban Base home),Section 5-King’s Road(Moving Shadow home) and other great record shops in London. I don’t need to categorise or pigeonhole them.It’s just great music in my soul.
Jungle is better than d&b though 😉
thanks for the history lesson bro 🙏 from a young drum and bass fan
You forgot jungle techno
Alex Jay Top comment mate, nicely put!!!
You can put things in a box and most likely multiple boxes :D
I didn't know it before watching this, but apparently I love Jungle :-)
So we did something right 😬
@@ElectronicBeatsTV You did absolutely everything right: Awesome music, awesome people, and a perfectly cut video! Thank you!!
I was just thinking the same thing! I wrote down all the track names, time to do some homework.
May I recommend one track for you then available here on TH-cam:
Free La Funk PFM Remix
It is massive!
BEST ONE YET..BIG UP ALL JUNGLIST & JUNGLETTE..RESPECT TO THE MANTRA WITH A FULL HOUSE !
100%
Jungle is massive! Shout out from Netherlands
@@ruffark WHY DID THE LION GET LOST IN THE JUNGLE ? .. BECAUSE THE JUNGLE IS MASSIVE ! BIG UP SOULJAH
Definition of Emotional Content.
Feel like Junglist should be gender neutral term
What a series. Big shout out to the editor too, cutting all these streams together: I see your effort, and it's appreciated 👍
Always nice to hear when people recognize the effort 🙏
@@ElectronicBeatsTV You well deserve it. I was sad you missed out Aphrodite, but I understand there were quite many of them around at that time to choose from. ;o)
The cuts between Mantra, Decibella and Double O on the mash them down track were absolutely seamless!
Cutting to the blinks! Amazing work. Thank you ❤🔥
6:16 the way he closed his eyes to drift to this track is Exactly how I felt hearing this track! 👊❤️👍
A Guy Call Gerald seems like the one wise uncle everyone should have in their family.
❤
What about Bryan Gee's comment on "special dedication"...brought me back in 1994...so passionate..
❤️
If I could share this comment I would….
It's amazing how they dropped it whilst he was describing the Frankie Paul bit.
That and Mantra smashing it with her trainspotting were the highlights of the video for me.
Ma guarda chi ti trovo nei canali YT più fighi!! Only the best!! Ciao caro
Top shelf editing as always, got 0 but learned about 10 more great tunes 🙌🙌🙌
Great to hear!
I do not know how any one can not recognize Horizons.
I have a huge record collection, but had hell getting the names and artists. I recognize most of them. A problem I have is altho I did a lot of mixing, I can't remember what actual records I don't have. As in, I recognize some of these tunes almost inside out, but can't tell you if I have it on vinyl or not.
Respect man! There's so much more for you to explore :)
@@mrlawilliamsukwarmachine4904 That could be an expensive problem if you end up buying stuff twice!
Happy, Sad, In Love, or almost crying. This is what Drum And Bass can do to you in 15 minutes, and this is why we love it so much.
not why I love it man. I just like it without all your poetry, baggage and shit, calm yourself 🥳
I absolutely smashed this one... 10/10.
For my 40-year-old self - growing up in south London in the nineties this was my bread and butter.
I love these.
41 from North London but made many trips down to Labyrinth back in the day
Props,🙌🙌
Junglist massive.
I only knew 3 of these off the top of my head Jungle can get deep.
I'm just thankful you didn't say Jungle is massive
Can't do 90's Jungle without playing LTJ, great selection!
Yea but they should have played 'Demon's Theme' by LTJ. One of the original if not the very first 'drum'n'bass' tracks
@@alsimonuk it's a quiz, it's not a selection of specific tracks from the artists. Else, all quizzes would include the same track for an artist, it would be not surprising, too easy and boring.
Rude and Deadly- Mash em down. Absolute monster of a track
Indeed
In all the Blind Test episodes, THIS one brought the biggest smiles. I loved Bryan Gee's passion but I love more a girl who knows her jungle! Happy days.
I've found my favourite "blind test", so far. Big up Tim Reaper for the selection, you killed it, dude! I'm not English, nor from London, and I haven't heard every single song ever made in the UK, but I think Jungle (and Ardkore, 1990-1995) is the best music ever to come out from England, it still sounds so different from everything else to this day, even after all that has happend to the genre in nearly 30 years. Those time-streached, chopped up break beats, massive b lines, Raggae and Soul vocals never cease to amaze me. When I heard Special Dedication and the testimony given by Gee about it, I got emotional. Waiting for the next Jungle episode. Keep up the good work Electronic Beats, big ups from Brazil! Brock wide!
sempre tem um brasileiro, é incrível
Smiling ear to ear watching this. Big up all junglist crew. As predicted Mantra takes the crown!
She did not remember both the name or label on al of them and they were all easy..I got them all right ie in terms the name of the tune, or artist, or both? Not exactly obscure
Gerald getting into the groove and dancing in his seat makes me happy.
such a legend man!
This is exactly what I love here : I wasn't expecting much, didn't think to be intersted in that genre. And I love all I hear !! These tracks sound AMAZING.
Edit : from 3:52 to 4:40, this could be a track album with "vocals by Bryan Gee". What a beautiful monologue.
Winds me up something rotten when I read shit like this. Imagine going through life just "assuming" you won't like a type of music. How to rob yourself not only of joy, but more essentially: historical understanding.
@@Soulrollsdeep Yes, and you miss the point of what was great with my experience. I'm talking about how I recognized I was wrong, you still come at me "bebebe shit like this". You should be happy that somebody opens up, you are just getting mad... Pure internet behaviour I'm afraid.
By the way, your channel looks interesting. Good way to find cool tracks it seems.
His voiceover at 0:52 also fits in really well rhythmically with the Alex Reece track.
Best Blind test. LTJ Bukem Horizons just gets me all misty eyed. Brings me back to my youth. Then they drop Andy C's Roll On directly after...
Goose Bumps. So much love for this music.
I'm 45 years old, most of the real dnb I heard for the first time was like "why?" Now I understand! Much love to all flavors of JUNGLE! 100%
This one was special. They were all vibing hard. Amazing track selection.
Goosebumps from Bryan Gee's comment on 'Special Dedication' - I remember those faces x
All of their faces, comments and their vibe on the Andy C -Roll On track was everything! True love 🙌💯🙏
This one took me all the way back, that vocal intro on VIP riders ghost, that murder drop on Mash Them Down, the atmosphere on Horizons, DJ Crystl at the height of his powers, absolutely amazing time in music
This is a superb video. Was a big fan of jungle and drum&bass black in the day, but wouldn't know half the names. Big respect to Mantra and Bryan Gee for their knowledge here. But I have to say, I could listen to Bryan Gee tell stories about those early days of jungle for hours. Such joy in his recollection, and really captured the vibe. Awesome.
The DnB Blind Tests are the best of the series!! Keep it up
Glad to see LTJ Bukem on here, he was my introduction to jungle and dnb when I was a young teenager🙌
Same, my Japanese classmate pulled out a portable record player and put on Music. I was 15.
Demon's Theme still gets played a lot in this house.
Same! a local pirate used to bang out Horizons a lot and thats when I knew I wanted to be like LTJ and produce... nearly 20 odd years down the line and here I am still making tunes :)
Ahh takes me back to AWOL sounds ... Rise & Shine. Big ups to all massive and crew.
Goosebumps.
Even being a house/techno DJ, I register here my love for DNB again, as I did in the previous blind test with Bailey, Fabio and crew.
When I started in the electronic music, between 1995/96, I had the opportunity to listen and dance to these tracks with DJs here in Brazil, at a time when there was no internet and the communication was very difficult for us, as we don't speak English and the access to music was done through magazines that arrived in few places in São Paulo.
Heroes like DJ Andy, Koloral, Marky, and played these songs on the suburbs to more than 2,000 people every weekend!!!
But my special thanks goes to DJ Patife: if it weren't for his bravery, requesting some money borrowed from friends, his courage and taking a simple VHS tape to London to show part of our crowd dancing and enjoying many of these tunes as we said in this blind test, our scene would be completely different from what it is today.
Tears droppin'. Thanks for another amazing moment you gave me =')
Love DJ Patife
guys are you fucking serious? to all these tracks in the mid-nineties I was jumping on the dance floor! what a pleasure to hear it again! I'm 42 and I'm from Russia Миру Мир!
Миру Мир сестра
Oh man... My Heart is bleeding when i hear this tunes and realize that those wonderful times are over...forever... ❤️😢
Yes it is. It finished in the 90 s
Dope track list from Tim Reaper. Love this from Bryan Gee --> "You see the happiness in everyone's face. You cannot buy that."
Imagine being there at that time hearing these tunes for the first time. At this moment, they are all heart wrenching. I'm a junglist!
when im weak, youre tellin me that im strong
when im right, youre tellin me that im wrong
but i know, and now i understand
now i see, i see your wicked plan
dont try to change my plan
@@sentryogmixmaster 👆🏽
The memories come rushing in. Love to watch people react to music like this. So much love.
You two lady's have a smile that could weather any storm..!
I had major butterflies the whole time Bukem was playing. Such an amazing tune start to finish.
OMG thanks!
You have no idea how many times i've listened to LTJ Bukem Horizons, without ever knowing artist or track name. This was back when recording radio to tape was my way of discovering music :)
Same. 25 years later I finally know what the song is.
I got 9 of 10!!! My mind is not so rusty eheheh.... *I LOVE THIS SERIES!* Peace from Brasil!!!
Pulp fiction was fucking incredible. Still is. Good days
Aaaaaaah WRONG! You and ALL of them, all wrong! It's Pulp FRICTION! Not Pulp Fiction! Only I am right! I AM KING OF JUNGLE!!!
@@system-error yeh you are also the king of dyslexia or trolling or both x
@@system-error you are half right. Pulp Fiction is the original name, but it was re-released (a slightly edited version) as Pulp Friction on a different label, as part of Reece's So Far album.
I only got 3
But as a 15 year old who has only been a junglist for 2 years I’m pretty happy W that lol
Amazing
m8 even just being into jungle at 15 is something to be proud of. Most people don't have taste that good at that age.
I bought a Drum&BassArena (not a typo) 3cd pack one Woolworths when I was 13/14 and it had ONE of these tracks on it, Pulp Fiction.
To be fair it also has Terminator, Time is the Fire, and Acid Trak on it so it was an experience. I’ve still got it somewhere too🤣
Good on ya. I was your age when I first got into Jungle back in the early 90's. This new sound absolutely blew our minds back then.
also fifteen bro this is the second wave of jungle
So many reasons why I love this series. The DnB crew bring so much love. Great hearing stories from the mighty legend that is Bryan Gee.
Keep em coming Electonic Beats - best content on TH-cam, hands down.
There is so much love in these comments! This series is exactly what we need right now! Bigs ups to all involved!
A Guy Called Gerald “Black Secret Technology” is essential jungle in my opinion.
For sure!!! 28 Gun bad boy too
@@S728-u9x szofjs
The track Energy is a masterpiece!!
It’s essential techno, too. And ambient. And electro. And a whole load more. Genre defying masterpiece.
A Guy Called Gerald got me with Proto acid Berlin session 2006 set. So unusual.
What a great episode! This brought back so many good memories. I can't believe it, I didn't know only 3 of these. But I hate to admit one of them was the Andy C track.
Easy to recognize these tunes, because I still listen to them all the time. 😏
This reminds me of the early 90s in Camden Market and the guy selling DnB, smoking weed with the current customer listening.
Surprised how many of these I got... my older brothers would be proud :)
Thanks to Telekom Electronic Beats I'm now dipping my toe into jungle, having never really listened to it properly before!
If you didn't get these tunes in the first loop you dont know this genre. Pure classics every single track.
The production on the tune that comes in at 12:35 is awesome considering it came out in 1994. The amen is EQ'd to perfection.
Yeah DJ Crystl - Warp Drive. Amazing tune. The other side, Meditation, is just as good but a bit more chilled out.
@@chris1london I've been kicking myself because I actually own Warpdrive 2004 on vinyl and I didn't recognise it. Definitely will check out Meditation though, thanks mate 👍
Made my stomach go when horizons played...nearly felt teary.
100%
What a tune!
This is my shit right here. Flooding back the memories from 94-95 living in Germany and going to a club called Vibrations near Karlsruhe. Saturday nights there was f***n fire. All the best jungle and drum n bass djs coming through there every weekend.
Pretty much all of these I bought from Black Market Records.
This is a premium selection
There was a time when I would name most of those tunes in a matter od seconds. I need to get back to some classics
Rude and Deadly! So happy you included this!
The best times of my youth were dancing in dark warehouses to all of these tracks . Thank you for the trip back in time .
Happy to see my friends Mantra & Double O in this feature. :)
06:24 How can you skip this intro???
LTJ is unmistakable. 🙌🏼
Thanks for making these - make me smile from ear to ear...
I knew all these tunes and most on wax but I never remember the names! Still sounding fresh.
Can't wait to play along with this one 😎👍
smiles are contagious
finally an episode were i actually knew some of the tracks. great selection. biggup junglist massive
edit: actually it was 8 out of 10. just have to fire up my old jungle playlist
These jungle/d&b ones are the best in the series, keep em coming.
Shoutout to A Guy Called Gerald, knows his music... may have come joint last but...
Agreed : godlike. He may have blown a few fuses along the way though … love him to bits.
He did the worst here but still avg among these other videos …?
This is nowhere near my wheelhouse, but this continues to be the best series on youtube. I keep waiting for the time it zeroes in on the year I visited the record shops every day.
Didn't want this to end. Big ups!
Every track is 🔥. Love this series, it's great to see people enjoying music so much...
I'm a World Dance raver, well was lol. It never leaves you, still have the tunes and my decks. Loved watching this, it gave me goosebumps even though I have the tunes lol. 93 94 95 were the best years ever!
I only found out about Jungle in January this year. I've listened to so many albums and even produced a track of my own. How have I not known this genre sooner?
Better late than never 😉
I guess you're not from the UK? Everyone knows Jungle here
This TH-cam channel is history.
Thanks a lot guys. A lot.
For someone like me, who was born in the nineties, has a grief of not being born as British in the seventies to experience that whole rave and post-rave movement in person, but who has a permanent fascination of this one of the latest truly future sounding genres it's a great series, with great tracks unknown for me earlier (I will include them in my spotify jungle playlist for sure) and people (Mantra ❤️❤️❤️) that bring so many positive vibe. Carry on, E.B, very warm greetings and much love from Poland :3
Made my morning, i soo much love the Blind Test series !!! Also congrats to Mantra for 10 points !!!
Bryan G knows his riddim and still deya. Big up Tim Reaper for the selection, Tim knows his Jungle
Champion Sound is one my all-time favourite tracks
Amazing one for sure
Best one so far! Consistent selection of classics, the panels excitement was infectious. Loved it
I fucking love Blind Test, pls never end this. Ambient techno or IDM should be next.
thank u editors of this piece.. rarely saw any commercial content with this decent approach and love to the details..
The shivers and memories of years gone by 😍
🖤 I remember buying all these on vinyl at Breakbeat Science in NY, what a trip
another great show - love to see all the dj's enthusiasm. my favourite era !
Crystl and photek made the best ever beats in jungle
Source Direct? Come on man, there was many, many producers up there with them guys back then
Great producers, especially DJ Crystl. Surprised neither Dillinja or Omni Trio made it into the vid - two of my personal jungle favs.
I watched this whole video smiling and reminiscing
Warp Drive, one of the best tunes of all time. The one they played on here is the repress which had slightly different edits on the breaks compared to the original pressing. Fantastic video, made my day! Thankyou for the content :)
Обожаю jungle и конечно диджеев которые снимались в этом выпуске....Они все такие весёлые.
Such a sick series! Love seeing these heavy weights reminiscing and also bringing back memories i've forgotten
Man, I was a proper d&b head in the 90s. I know each and every one of these tracks. Big up.
They try they try, without a reason why...Jungle yeah, will never die...
This was my favourite one yet!
I didnt know any of the names - but I was surprised i recognized as many as I did from raves back in the day.
Straight up Pulp Fiction. What a chooon, smoothest tune. Ever. So memorable. Ha ha, from there just so much nostalgia with Ganja Kru and later on those samples, Junglist bizniss, Nut Nut and then Champion Sound. Ha ha loved this! So many good tunes, “the horizon leans forward…” Ah, just having major, major nostalgia. Then Roll On, Ghost, Mash dem Down… This was so fun, the 90s were good to us🙌❤️
Oh Mantra! Love your passion, smile, voice, vibe,... instant love sensations ❤❤❤
Such a great group of people and quality track choices👍👍
4:15 man, I'm getting goosebumps hearing this tune. The soundtrack of my teenage years 😂
Great episode (love the ladies in this one, so honest and enthusiastic) and please don’t ever stop making Blind Tests!
I was just gifted LTJ bukems horizons record….my friends are awesome 😎
Спасибо за отличные эмоции)
Все треки вспомнил!! Почти все пласты у меня были)
Клуб Пятница СПб 1999-2007
Всем привет старые Бро!!
Круто, рад видеть!
Почему были? Пропито?
@@michelbesedin7081 что то подарено, что то продано. Оставил только самые жирные хиты на мой взгляд. Остались практически весь urban takeover, penetration rec, и не много trouble on vinyl
😉
Здарова!
This is just pure Royalty. Big up to the culture. Thank you for sharing this.
Warpdrive escaped me!
Stamina I knew but couldn't recall Dream Team creating it.
Still not too bad recall.
Great jungle selection pulled out the bag here. I'm off to listen to Stamina all the way through, nice and loud
