So so true man! I was in my late teens to early 20's when this all exploded. Was an exciting time indeed. I'm privileged to have lived through it & bought the records. My only regret is that I never got to attend any DnB parties. Maybe a few house parties. Still...a great time for all of us who know! :)
Photek is one of my favorites all of his tunes just don't get old cause of how much he put into it Photek is the got damn MAN you heard me that's real talk.
Sobbing gently but smiling all the while.. This tune is in-flufin-credible.. Cornwall Colliseum.. Oh my goodness.. -only you can give me what i want a lot-
Tune I ain't heard it for a few years I stumbled across it looking on TH-cam at old-school dnb tunes I used to blast in the mid 1990s to 2006 era we don't get propper dark deep drum and bass tunes anymore sadly especially stuff like goldie/lemon d/metal headz but dnb vibes always take me back to happier better times as its the closest thing to a time machine we have got!!! 😎🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
@@Swindybobs79 I was probably feeling a bit hype when I wrote that. I shouldn't say for certain that one producer is better than another. I tend to go through phases even. To say Photek is the best would understate boys like Intense, Aquasky, Wax Doctor, Jonny L etc.
Jesus christ, I can remember the first time I ever heard this. Even as someone who grew up obsessed with rave & DnB, it knocked me off my feet. The most gut wrenching, soul shaking, goose bump inducing bassline of all time.
I love this tune is it me or does the phase between the snare and bass drums change throughout the tune? after the drop at 4.38 its like the tune has loads of swing ? what is timing structure of this? I don't know the correct musical terminology to properly say what I mean lol
The second half of this track is so goooooood. Those of you that possibly heard this live or just out and about in an environment, I am jealous of you. What a vibe, now its just shitty trap music and pop everywhere. Big sad. But big happy I can listen.
Al Wilson why ? This stuff should only played on vinyl simple as that go and buy some technics 1210's and learn how to mix properly and buy this on vinyl simple.
@Soul Slip lmao I'd love to hear what the artist has to say about that. "Oh you love my music so much you're glad no one knows about it, and you don't want to share it... Sick, thanks." Kind of wonky sounding. But I do think it's the natural progression of popularity for gems like this to be overlooked. And that does make those of us who know of them feel a little more special.
I have no fucking idea if this is jungle or dnb...who really gives a fuck anyway?!! It’s all music!! Got shelf loads of tunes from 1991 to date and was informed that some of it ‘trance’!! Oddly I always considered it as hardcore (as I heard it on a Phantasy set from Dreamscape 4). Let’s agree on one thing. This is the fucking biz
@ne_mz Disagree mate , I was attending raves from 1990 - 1995 and the Music progression was Hardcore then Drum n Bass then Jungle ! Listen to LTJ Bukem ( master of drum n bass ) The style of Jungle is much more choppy than D n B. Like I said before compare ... The Helicopter tune to Atlantis by LTJ Bukem and you can tell the difference in styles !
Hey...Play Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. Then Play this track while watching the Phantom Liberty music video. This will better explain the tragic life of a NetRunner named Song So Mi. Try it out! Excellent pairing!😉
We are so lucky to have lived through this era. London was some city back then, still live here but miss it.
London is no more
It was the era. The era was absolutely unbelievable & I pity anyone who didnt grow up through it.
So so true man! I was in my late teens to early 20's when this all exploded. Was an exciting time indeed. I'm privileged to have lived through it & bought the records. My only regret is that I never got to attend any DnB parties. Maybe a few house parties. Still...a great time for all of us who know! :)
Central London has been replaced with a shopping mall, RIP to all the independent shops and real people who used to live there
Photek made this in Ipswich…
66 and still into this groove.
Yes yes original
Big up the OG ina da area😎🔊🤜🏼🤛🏼
one of my fav breakdowns at 3:00. rupert really loved himself some of that sound from the east
One of photek's best tunes!! Also one of my all time favourite jungle/drum n bass tracks. Pure gold this!!
Studio Pressure - First Sequence?
Ennhee, this one is niceness 🔥😝
But lets not forget 'Feeling Up' (unreleased)
those bass stabs at the start will never leave my mind from going out mid-90's....
Photek is one of my favorites all of his tunes just don't get old cause of how much he put into it Photek is the got damn MAN you heard me that's real talk.
Sobbing gently but smiling all the while..
This tune is in-flufin-credible..
Cornwall Colliseum..
Oh my goodness..
-only you can give me what i want a lot-
Photek: one of the best to ever do it. This tune: right up there as one of the best DnB tracks ever.
Intelligent DnB is a bit like speed balling the relentless charge of the amen, and the chilled pads and atmospherics. Love it ❤
Different level man jeez. That drop @3:48 makes me go silly. Big up Photek. Genius👊
Bennyob1 Bennyob1 Them feels!
Just doesn't gets old, constantly coming back to hear this. Top notch
Yes, this is top notch.
1995; I was 18 years old. Lived about a mile away from the Sanctuary and raving was everything. I'm so glad I lived through this.
I was 18 in 95!
Mate I lived in Hemel, and went to the Sanctuary all the time. Was 16 in 1995. Evolution, Dreamscape, and all that. Amazing.
hahaha pretty sure my mate had a fight with you.
Me too! I’m from Kent and used to trek up to the sanctuary back then. Loved it ❤
So gutted I missed this boat, you really witnessed a special time
My era x in love with this
Electrifying Finery 🔥🔥🔥 Absolute Tune
Ringing in my ears for years 🎉😊
They don't make them like they use to..(Glad i lived, raved, Partied & DJ'd - in the late 1980s,90s ) !
ikr
Rupert was way ahead of his time.
+Chris Doss way way ahead.......
He was on another level but when someone say's that I think of the early 90's The Prodigy.
Really? Explain why this tune was so ahead of its time?
@@onenation8707 Liam howlett was WAY ahead of his time when he made "the experience" album BEFORE 1991.
@Beeblebrox One spare me ok? I WAS there at the beginning. Sadly for your "argument".
I got shivers listening to this. Absolute MASTERPIECE!
riff @ 3:00 will always be one of the most epic and timeless ever.. then the snare and kick layer back @ 3:25, then bass drop @ 3:48... EEEEEPIC!
Very nice indeed
drift(ing) to the centre
A true artist. Timeless.
Do we think the title is about the needle? Drifting from the edge of the vinyl to the centre?
James Dennis ... I'm with you.
... can't speak for the CDJ'er types tho
Tao Te Ching perhaps meant something else
its esoteric philosophy, but the record itself is a fractal iteration of a lifetime
but to call it mere philosophy does it a disservice
I believe the words are by Dr Timothy Leary and he was probably on LSD at the time !
27 years later, Mr Parkes still running things, absolute chuggathon..
A rear wheel drive sports car in the rain at midnight + this song = you guessed it
it definitely equals a car accident but you'll be loving every moment of it before you crash lmao
@@Government-Psyop not if your a skilled professional.. also MY FWD is handling my power.
It is impossible to listen to this without my brain adding the sound of MC Conrad's vocals gliding on over like a perfect combination
Showcased perfectly here at 16 minutes on the Dreamscape XI mix. Sublime > th-cam.com/video/678NH_Lr_qs/w-d-xo.html
Any chance you could tell me the mix you heard this from please?
Rip conrad.
@@DnBReece1th-cam.com/video/jVl7DY3FPPs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xMu5DzL0Q2IIjSpQ
Still got this on vinyl from in the day.. Bukem smashed this at rocket 🚀 club Holloway Road..
Back again. Never gets old
This song is fucking perfect
Literally doesn't get any better
It’s a tune not a song
@@stuee_mk1stuee_mk169 I bet you reminded the teacher to pick up the homework in high school
@@Koizumifan-tw9dc just sounds corny af to call it a song. It's not a nursery rhyme either.
@@Vingul My apologies. This jingle is quite fetching
I have the original vinyl but still no digital! So i come here for old skool healing ❤️
Doesn't get any better than this 100% bliss listening
Badass track, from a golden era
Yes bro. Filthy ass track👊💥
Tune I ain't heard it for a few years I stumbled across it looking on TH-cam at old-school dnb tunes I used to blast in the mid 1990s to 2006 era we don't get propper dark deep drum and bass tunes anymore sadly especially stuff like goldie/lemon d/metal headz but dnb vibes always take me back to happier better times as its the closest thing to a time machine we have got!!! 😎🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
you can almost hear the transition from hardcore to jungle in this track, class tune
Photek is without a doubt the greatest producer of intelligent jungle the world ever knew
To say it like that makes it sound like he died. No, but those are times we will never experience again
I do also rate Seba and LTJ Bukem for pioneering this style.
One Nation don’t forget, Fanu. Nobody mentions him. He’s got that vibe going on...
Big up this comment, it’s a tough call between him and PFM for me
@@Swindybobs79 I was probably feeling a bit hype when I wrote that. I shouldn't say for certain that one producer is better than another. I tend to go through phases even. To say Photek is the best would understate boys like Intense, Aquasky, Wax Doctor, Jonny L etc.

I'm still spinning this tune out since 95 fam. Love & Respect to the massive. ❤️👌❤️👌♥️💎
Stonewall wall classic were it all began love it flamez 🔥 🔥 🔥 ❤
@3.00.... One of the best breaks ever in a DRUM n BASS track
When hype scratched power to this 🔥
Night time driving music you already know
Still got this on vinyl, I always thought after the break the vocal was saying "The Terminator!"
A fine piece it does help me find my centre when a bit lost, Top of the Range
.
Back again, and again, and again.
oooofffff the metallic samurai moves three minutes in are legendary

Heard this track 20+ years ago on a rave mixtape. I used Shazam yesterday while listening to the same mixtape. Dope!
Photeks best for me up there with aquatic and first sequence.
What a ride this tune!
Utter bliss 🙏
Ύμνος παρακαταθήκη το κομμάτι...❤️👊🔊🇬🇷
Really wish this tune was more available digitally
Download from you tube.. Done
Excellent track back in the day
Fucking hell, I never knew this was Photek. No wonder I was obsessed with it as a young lad. This is otherworld magic.
its not........
@@djphobia7463 it's Rupert Parkes, same dude who makes music as Photek.
@@Vingul nice to meet you........
Its a Jungle brother!
( Beautiful peice of Music .. Wow !! & it gets Better & Better ... AL67*
Such an insane song
Still have the vinyl. Sounds amazing on 33 and 45rpm.
True love for this one..!
this tune is ridiculous. still!
awesome........
sooo atmospheric!!!!
Dont know if your still out there? But thank you my friend.
cant live without it
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
So good. Great for studying
Thanks for sharing, 😊
This tube defines what was cutting edge back in the day just like 1 & only by pfm! Old fart reminiscing 😁
Flawless
See this is drum and bass not like what children put out these days you can't ever top this stuff 🤟😜
init
Deeper than the NYC concrete jungle, taller than the twin tower's canopy.
3:00 I love this section
awwww yeaaaahhhh - eye of the storm
the king of rolling, 50 fathom deep mystic amen....
Well put indeed
Heavy Gratitude
This track should be available digitally so everybody can have it!
Al Wilson why ? This stuff should only played on vinyl simple as that go and buy some technics 1210's and learn how to mix properly and buy this on vinyl simple.
"buy some equipment that costs hundreds of pounds and learn a skill that takes hours and hours of practice so u can listen to one tune" really simple
xpkc34 yes, you’ve got the right idea now.
You’re welcome.
Beats wanky cdjs or whatever
When you achieve it you will understand
Andrew Pink or 1200s eh.
The silvers are badass as y’like
(Sold mind in 1998, so now have 1210s meh)
@Soul Slip lmao I'd love to hear what the artist has to say about that. "Oh you love my music so much you're glad no one knows about it, and you don't want to share it... Sick, thanks." Kind of wonky sounding. But I do think it's the natural progression of popularity for gems like this to be overlooked. And that does make those of us who know of them feel a little more special.
Is this on Spotify? I can’t find it ffs
In bits.. its bin a long time,but it feels like my colliseum buzz jus kikt bak in..🥲
Old school love it
SAFE TO SAY THIS IS TOP 5 ALL TIME DNB ?
+Bobby Cabbagestalk jungle please
I have no fucking idea if this is jungle or dnb...who really gives a fuck anyway?!!
It’s all music!!
Got shelf loads of tunes from 1991 to date and was informed that some of it ‘trance’!! Oddly I always considered it as hardcore (as I heard it on a Phantasy set from Dreamscape 4).
Let’s agree on one thing.
This is the fucking biz
Bobby Cabbagestalk yes
Steve , this is definitely drum n bass mate , I had vinyl from 1990 - 1995...jungle is much different....example is the helicopter tune .
@ne_mz
Disagree mate , I was attending raves from 1990 - 1995 and the Music progression was Hardcore then Drum n Bass then Jungle !
Listen to LTJ Bukem ( master of drum n bass )
The style of Jungle is much more choppy than D n B.
Like I said before compare ... The Helicopter tune to Atlantis by LTJ Bukem and you can tell the difference in styles !
aquarius on big man tune!
Great track!
better than anything made nowadays
its like a drift into the eye of the storm !
It supossed this would be the future of music
Wooooow....😮😮😮
Hey...Play Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. Then Play this track while watching the Phantom Liberty music video. This will better explain the tragic life of a NetRunner named Song So Mi. Try it out! Excellent pairing!😉
This tune is/was mega! when it was released.
What can I say? Absolute blinder! Jungle dnb as I like it! Ffs!
Not sure about you guys, but that pan pipe was speaking to me.
God bless you Rupert Parkes
r.i.p.all fallen.drift to the centre.
Wow 🥰
best release before he changed sounds.
insane that this dude was from my town
Drifting.... to sleep 🎶🎶
Admiral Bryd -RIP
am i just hearing things or did the wii sports boxing results music sample this
Drift to the center of your mind
This sample has been used on another DnB track....will return when I find out which one...
Aquarius = Rupert Parkes + Daniel Williamson
Didn't know that bukem was involved. Good knowledge
I suspect it is just this track though, not the other Aquarius tracks.
Photek!!!!!!!!! For those that dunno! Beast!
is this song about sailing ?
