Me and a mate used to worship Ed Rush when we were in high school in the 90's. We shaved our heads like him and bought loads of no u turn vinyl and did back to back mixes in our bedrooms and house parties. We went to the metalheadz platinum breakz album tour at Newcastle Uni to see Grooverider and Kemi and Storm when we were 15 years old but the MC announced they couldn't make it and everybody booed. Then he announced that Ed Rush will be playing all night instead and everybody cheered. I can still remember it like yesterday. Hardstepping to big reese bass amen smashers all night and drinking still lemon tango. Great times. The best.
I absolutely loved this era of dnb… I still have the No U-Turn climate on my decks from way back. Torque, Platinum Breaks and the Prototype Years are timeless.
i remember hearing Fab & Groove at Blue Note in about 95. Groove was plying purely no u-turn dubs while fabio was on the jazz tip. Went on for 3 hours back and forward between them - totally different styles. Still the best DJ set I have ever heard. Amazing time
Honestly, this makes me so incredibly happy seeing this. Still loving Ed Rush's music to this day. Light of the Void is nothing but banger after banger.
it's surreal watching this, i've heard this mix and the songs in it a lot. i've listened to a lot of Ed Rush from this era. this is one of my biggest inspirations in terms of sounds and mood and vibes and i'm looking at it and it's some kids messing around. i guess you never realize that you're making history when you're doing it. would love to see more of this if more was filmed but still cool as hell to see
I think it was 97 when Ed Rush played Manga in Edinburgh and it was completely sold out due to the hype around this album. I also remember at one point the music being played cleared the dancefloor. Some tracks on the album weren't really dancefloor friendly. Probably the first and last time ever at Manga. The night did recover though....
This is amazing! No sync button in sight, proper DJ'ing. Something that's lost now with these plastic, faceless bimbos. Respect Nico mate, absolute classic comp and video 👏🏾
Absolutely and you see also that todays Dj Generation makes Show with the permanent fingering on the Poti's! I startet Djing in 1999 with DnB and we All did not Touch a Poti every second
@@ALIENJUGGERNAUT ok, the you were earlier than me! I started with a 3 Channel Stanton Mixer, with High/Mid/Low Potis and the ansolitely New Feature These Times, Killswitches
Damn this takes me back to some great times in that studio! Awesome to see you again vibing Nico. Miss those days (and those speakers - damn son!) tbh. Hope you, ed, and fierce are doing well!
Bin seit 1994 bis heute aktiv im DnB/Jungle. Die No U Turn Tracks sind eine eigene Liga und mit nichts zu vergleichen. Die Jungs haben damals einen eigenen Kosmos erschaffen!
Tell me what you want for a full recording of this and it's yours. Torque is hands down the best D&B LP of all time, love to see the label is still active, one of my favourites easily.
"Torque" stands as one of the greatest Drum & Bass albums of all time. Everyone needs to know this. Please can we get a remastered release 🙏 There are only a few (they all have a special place in my head & heart). These albums changed everything for me and shaped my taste and DJing: • Torque - Ed Rush, Nico, TRACE, Fierce • Timeless - Goldie & Rob Playford • The Prototype Years - Grooverider & featured artisists • Jungle Book - Reinforced Records featured artists • Platinum Breaks - Metalheadz featured artists • Living in the Past - Manix • Reinforced Records Presents Arcon 2 - Arcon 2 • Form & Function - Photek
Amen to this. Most of mine are black labels that I bought from The Voice of Fusion records, Basingstoke back in the day. The boys always kept a crate of the hardest shit under the table for me.
Oh, I have this album, still in the plastic wrap I think. Never really listened or used it. Might have to dust it off. Sounds like it will still cut up quite nice.
@@nutmedia Ohhhhh shittttt! Looking forward to it. I still have TWO copies of the original Torque vinyl and all the singles surrounding that era, including the Boymerang single-sided and the NU-Blacks. Love hearing the current remasters of this stuff.
*4:20** A little frenetic at the cross, I think you were off by a sliver of a beat so instead of a 2/2 time, you were like 3/2 time. Which isn't offensive audibly, but it is congested.* *Other than that, not bad.*

This is NUTs, the foresight to record a dj set like a modern live stream decades before that was even a thing!
Little did they know then tht this would be a big thing. The recording I mean obviously 😂
Everyones living room in the 90's
Facts
Edit: Every decent person’s living room in the 90’s. 😂😂
@@MrDogtown22 haha
oh you crazy brits !!! x)
Still sounds like the future.
This whole period is still so good. I loved that feeling that things were progressing week on week.
I was about 15 years old. These tunes really left a mark on me.

Literally changed the genre for many of us and gave us a welcome pathway away from the jump up of the time...
Ed Rush and Optical were headlining nearly every event from 1998.
Honestly, this makes me so incredibly happy seeing this. Still loving Ed Rush's music to this day. Light of the Void is nothing but banger after banger.
@@Remora_Rain That makes me real happy to hear. Makes it worth the time.
This is history right here, we need the full video!
Lots of great memories Nico....Metro Store was like epic in 1997...the dysfunctional/beautiful home of badass bass music in West London
history. when technology wasn't ubiquitous, i'm glad this moment was captured on video. torque was a cutting of teeth for many of us.
Torque remains a remarkable achievement and seeing the footage from this time is a treat…. Thanks for sharing!

Best part of 30 years later and I'm sat enjoying this on a pair of Sennheiser 25HDs. So much has changed and yet so much still the same...
have u still got both uf the ear pads tho? lol
This kind of sound that those guys did change my life. biggups
Thanks for this mate - proper blast from the past 🤓👍

He did better than 99.9999% of DJs on here. and 100% better than all the female DJs, lol.

thx for upload
🏆👐
Holy shit, I still have one of these CD's. Thanks for the upload, Nico. So glad you're breaking out the stash!!
Fantastic memories, i regularly play this mix and have done since i first bought it back in the day. What a dj, album, tunes and label!
Real passion to the music! Respect and looking forward for more stuff like this
It's 2024 and the tracks still sound like it's made in the future!
Found this on vinyl in Reykjavik! Still a favourite.
this is amazing to see, legendary mix, listened to it countless times from the CD. would happily pay for a video of the full thing if possible
I'm loving seeing these videos 🎉❤
Damn this takes me back to some great times in that studio! Awesome to see you again vibing Nico. Miss those days (and those speakers - damn son!) tbh. Hope you, ed, and fierce are doing well!

This is great to see and such an important part of dnb culture 💓
So frigging good. Old is Gold, as they say!
In love with Torque since first listening
So good these rollers 🎉
The stuff of legends
as always an amazing time capsule
Miss rooms like that, DJing like that, DJ's like that, music like that, times like that.
Don’t be sad mate we can always bring it back 🎉

What a fucking gem mate! Big ups!
respect for pionners like him !!! this is someone s apartment xd !!! its was never about anything else but the music !!!!

Oh man ❤
One of the best DnB albums of all time. I pretty much bought all the cuts on 12 before the album dropped.
Amen to this. Most of mine are black labels that I bought from The Voice of Fusion records, Basingstoke back in the day. The boys always kept a crate of the hardest shit under the table for me.
Absolutely not. It was mediocre.
this is the first boiler room
Cheers dude.
This had been the hard shit these days
EPIC still have the vinyl
*U got a producer? You have some potential. Always good to see someone putting the needle down.*

You know this is history - and Ed Rush and team are some of the best DJs and producers in the game today. This album changed the scene in 1997.
