Rob Birch and Nick Hallam from Stereo MC's tell in London about their hit 'Connected'. A short documentary by Top 2000 a gogo from 2017 (Dutch Public Television).
@@Thebrothaisback There were two albums - the first one was called "Connected", the second one, recorded many years later was called "Deep Down and Dirty"
The Acid Jazz scene of the early nineties was special, yet not revered as it should be - SMC’s, Jamiroquai , Morcheaba, Soul to Soul, Brand New Heavies, Incognito... good times.
@@shady7969 Fair point; however, if we are gonna pigeonhole bands, I'd argue Portishead were more Trip-hop than AJ, but Yes... a class act non-the-less!
This album was a revelation… Never heard anything like it back then… 30 years later it is still incredible. This is what happens when you just let creative people just get on with it.
For the record, I worked as local crew for Stereo MCs in Portsmouth in 93 (?). Great live gig - one of the best - and after the gig they all got stuck in to lugging their own gear to their van. And gave us beers. At the height of their popularity. Highest Respect Stereo MCs. Groovy and of the people.
For the record, I once sold him 3 pairs of Argyll socks. He only wanted one pair but when I told him they were on offer/promotion, 3 for 2. He took 3 pairs.
I’m a drummer who remembers sound checking for a festival in 90s UK. The sound engineer banged ‘connected’ on full blast to test the P.A. That bass! We all jumped off stage and started buggin out to it. We turned round and 1000s of festival goers decided to join in. The sound engineer killed the track halfway through because we had to sound check. We all refused to sound check until the the track had finished. He conceded. Needless to say we were late for our performance. Festival organisers weren’t too happy. But 1000s if festival goers were introduced to an awesome track by a great band. Happy days indeed! Love the Stereo MCs. X
Hi mate, I play the drums too. Played some small gigs never played at a festival though, would love to. 'Connected' is a superb album listen to it regularly. All the best bud 👍.
That's because Stereo MCs did not sound like Dance that was around in the early 90s. Not like the happy hard core which got around, or garage, drum and bass. The bpm didn't matter That's how you make timeless music, not be in the fashion of the moment..
I'm 72 yrs.....and I just discovered this group a couple days ago. Best music and message since the Beatles hit me. I'm addicted, mezmerized, and a believer!
Hearing this 30 year old song pop up on Spotify while high at 2 in the morning is definitely an experience. I first thought it might of been a year or two old, but then I saw 92 on the album release, was definitely shocked
Sorry no hate meant but no song is ahead of it's time, if it stands the test of time [yuk cliche] then it's simply TIMELESS. Out of time, part of the tapestry puzzle of sonic art that was waiting to be filled. There's a finite amount of "right" collection of sound and an infinite random set noises - like math. Shit take acid you'll know exactly what i mean. :-)
Says alot about shallow tits who have nothing worthwhile to say. I still get back to this album on regular basis. It hasn't aged a bit, and it's a nice trip back in time every now and then.
@Jason Fraser Absolutely! I agree! And it also proves that unlike today you didn't have to be a top model to succeed in music if you had real talent...that's the bottom line here...
I used to exercise to it - it had the right tempo for floor exercises - and the sheer awesomeness of it helped keep your mind off how tired the repetitions were making you ;-)
Put on some Stereo Mc's today in the work van.. man their music will never grow old.. so underrated its criminal. Thank you so much for the wicked tunes :-)
Brings me back to clubbing and high school...reminds me of big speakers at nightclub,and basses of this song banging through my ears...like it was yesterday....good times...
I saw them live in 1990, supporting A Certain Ratio (I think) who we didn't think much to so we left. Stereo MC's were outside, packing their kit up in their little van, so we said hello and explained we were making dance/electronic stuff. They were really friendly and offered some really useful advice (and we ate most of their sweets) - really genuine blokes.
Was going into a local record shop at the time to buy the single. On my way in I met a DJ friend who told me the whole record was gold, so I bought it. He was not wrong. Then saw Stereo MCs at an outside festival the summer of -93, still best dancing concert I've attended
Saw them opening for U2 (Zoo TV tour) in Stockholm. I already knew and liked Connected but hearing it live in a big stadium was something else! Such a killer groove and the song is just made for blasting over a huge system.
One of the best album ever. Every song is great. So underrated. If it came out today, it'd still be a hit. Never to to see them live. Wish I could have. Created their own genre. That is rare.
Without a shadow of a doubt, my favourite gig in Cardiff ( January 1993 ). Their look, their music, their energy, all mixed together with a pill, made a fantastic night to remember. One of the few gigs still imprinted in my brain, the rest of those years is a blur.
A good friend of mine who loved this record recently passed away, then this randomly pops up on my recommended viewing! No idea how that works but thanks YT 👍.
Thanks so much for this upload. I frigging love this song and it turned me onto the StereoMC's when I was raising my then 3 year old daughter. We'd put it on and dance around the lounge room and laugh and just always left you feeling good. Thanks guys.
So much wisdom in this. Ironic when your young all the beauty is on the outside when your old it's mostly on the inside. Trouble is if you only use your eyes you cannot hear and feel it! Great band and song. Thank you for some great memories. Enjoy
Early 90's, a golden era in dance music, and Connected was part of that sound track. Saw them at the UEA in Norwich in 92....they were awesome. Live drummer, DJ mixing / scratching over a backing track, with Rob Birch dancing like a mad man (which he probably is...LOL). Would love to see them again..hint, hint
This song is amazing, I am from Eastern Europe and have been living in UK for a long time, this song is the best song from English speaking world to me, well done and thank you!
I STILL remember when I first heard this...a chilly Easter Sunday night in 1993 on the dance floor. I was 19 years old. That was a great night for a variety of reasons. ; - )
I had the pleasure of having a friend who was an engineer at Loco recording studio and I was present while Stereo MCs worked, I was a huge fan and still am .. wonderful memory being around history as it happened. Cheers
I was visiting a friend in San Francisco. One night we were wandering around inside a record shop. Back then they had listen stations with headphones so you could listen to a CD before you bought it. I duck ducked goosed a huge stack of cd's and picked some random CD, some artists I had never heard of Stereo MC's. First song played was Connected. I was so good, I didn't listen to any other songs and bought the CD on the spot. Then later on, I'm hearing this song played at clubs, parties, everywhere. Good times.
Huge fan of Stereo MC's, way back since "Lost In Music" and then their great albums. Also love the thing they did with Mica Paris ("Stand Up", 1991). Respect to you guys :)
Love these guys, especially Rob. Everything always sounded authentic and real to me and it still does! There songs easily got me thru my teenage years, and, i still make music today because of them. Big love. Way more real them most celebs today.
Was 20 yrs old when this came out. It was right at the beginning of acid jazz, but this song wasn’t acid jazz, nor was it strictly hip hop…it had a bit of everything and something more! Such a fantastic vibe. The entire album is gold!
I saw Stereo MC's in Brisbane in 2001. It was a good gig but the main thing I remember was Rob Birch spent the whole time singing to lighting rig. I don't know if he was cold or was on something but he spent the whole gig standing and dancing in front of the lights with his back to the audience. Sounded great.
Ik luisterde in de jaren 90 naar Dead Kennedys, Ministry, Skinny Puppy en Stereo MCS! Connected, een must have voor iedere muziekliefhebber.
3 ปีที่แล้ว
I understand dutch and english but this was much later than the Dead Kennedys, I think. Also, I think Skinny Puppy were 1980s. Obviously music releases were controlled back then so each country heard music at different times. Ek wens jy wel. I am not fighting, just saying at this time what we heard was controlled by record releases by labels, etc.
I used to know Nick and Rob...they lived near me and I was a frequent visitor at their place in Battersea . I remember coming to visit them one day - Rob would always make tea...but I was surprised to see that Nick had shaved his head, and created a new look - and they had drastically changed their musical style...it was the birth of the Stereo MC's. One day, Nick came to my place and borrowed my Eko acoustic guitar...maybe it was used on the album...! I'm a singer/songwriter ... was signed to Beggars in their Numan days but I lacked a clear vision at the time... they however, created their own, and the rest is history. They were great guys, but I lost touch with them soon after their success.
He’s a very interesting bloke and I’ve never seen him give a bad interview I would love to pick his brains on many a subject.Seen the Stereo Mc’s in Manchester Uni in ‘91 and at Elland Rd the same year.Unbelievably good live. . .
As always, Top 2000 you capture the ethos of artists and the spirit of songs in a succinct capsule. I always smile when your notifications pop up as no matter the subject I am always enriched by your content.
I remember seeing them support Happy Mondays on the Mondays 'Yes Please' tour at Brixton Academy and they blew the Mondays away. To be fair the Mondays were on their last legs of that era at that particular time, but that's not to take anything away from the Stereo MC's performance. Great live band.
Saw them at Blissfields festival, got to be more than 10 years ago. My son’s band were on the same set. We couldn’t believe Rob was playing guitar. Great night that…..
Struggles in life make him look this way.... life wasn,t easy.... life isn,t easy... and life will not ever be easy ever.... keep it up man.... love every thing u did or do😘
This is one of the best EVER! The lyrics really resonate with me! It is one of my all time favourites and at 57 years old I will still put it on and dance like no one is watching (freaking hope like hell no one is watching)! HA!
I am 58 years old and I am dancing to this song more than I did 30 years ago. Aged like fine wine indeed!
66 and still dancing to it with my granddaughter who's 6. 666 devil of a tune👍🏻
Absolutely
I'm 68 years old, but I still listen to this album. It's one of my all time favourites. Frankly, it may be a masterpiece.
I too keep going back to this album. It still sounds fresh to me.
@@DEADELV1S because you've not considered other great musicians in your comment, eg. Whigfield, Bieber, Sonia etc!
Album? In the US, they only had the one hit.

One of those tracks that stays with you forever.
Without a doubt, i have played this regular since it came out, to this very day... timeless and meaningful.

Best Time ever
dont forget Portishead and Moloko and Cj Bolland
@@shady7969 Fair point; however, if we are gonna pigeonhole bands, I'd argue Portishead were more Trip-hop than AJ, but Yes... a class act non-the-less!
Don’t forget US3
Galliano In pursuit of the 13th note was a really good album too, I used to play that and SMCs album to death.
This album was a revelation…
Never heard anything like it back then…
30 years later it is still incredible.
This is what happens when you just let creative people just get on with it.
Testify!
It’s a fantastic album. Their first three albums were.
I love that Rob looks the same even now. He is still one of my favorite rappers to this day. Positive messages always coming through.
That’s heroin for ya. Don’t go there!☠️☠️☠️
He looks like his dying
@@kalkal6125He's always been like that, he's just older and it's more noticeable.

Yeah saw them a couple of times and had a great time the good old days when everyone was on It that's probably why you's refused to stop dancing ✌️
Hi mate, I play the drums too. Played some small gigs never played at a festival though, would love to. 'Connected' is a superb album listen to it regularly. All the best bud 👍.
Dance music can quickly sound dated, but Connected hasn’t. It has really stood the test of time.
That's because Stereo MCs did not sound like Dance that was around in the early 90s. Not like the happy hard core which got around, or garage, drum and bass.
The bpm didn't matter
That's how you make timeless music, not be in the fashion of the moment..
Probably one of the most interesting bands to emerge from the 90's. Hearing just a bit more of their story adds to their appeal.
I'm 72 yrs.....and I just discovered this group a couple days ago. Best music and message since the Beatles hit me. I'm addicted, mezmerized, and a believer!
Dude, where have you been for the past 30 years?
In a Gulag..
One of the greatest songs in history. I'm 64 and i still dance to this song. Supersongs never die and never Will forget. So Connected.
Hearing this 30 year old song pop up on Spotify while high at 2 in the morning is definitely an experience. I first thought it might of been a year or two old, but then I saw 92 on the album release, was definitely shocked
Man masterpieces like this can't be made in this decades they just can't because the world doesn't know what means actual music anymore
🤣👍👍
this song will never get old...this song was way ahead of its time
Totally agree!
Like this one as well!
th-cam.com/video/IKzX5zRdsq0/w-d-xo.html
Using samples was ahead of its time?
Yea that's coz the age rubbed out on that guys old face

Shit take acid you'll know exactly what i mean. :-)
People dissing his looks but he makes a very profound point about finding your purpose amid chaos. A very powerful message for these times.
Says alot about shallow tits who have nothing worthwhile to say. I still get back to this album on regular basis. It hasn't aged a bit, and it's a nice trip back in time every now and then.
Ignorance is bliss as they say 😇
Still ranks in my top 5 albums - the groove was effortless to follow, the lyrics bang on. A great way to blow up your bins.
Shallow people and vapid people. Stay away from them.
@Jason Fraser Absolutely! I agree! And it also proves that unlike today you didn't have to be a top model to succeed in music if you had real talent...that's the bottom line here...

Real music real artists thank you for the great tracks stereo MC's!!!!🔥👏
"Your dirty tricks, you´re making me sick!"...still Relevant for 2020!
Must be among the Top 3 songs I danced to the most in my whole life. The groove is just freaking hypnotic. A classic.
Absolutely fucking awesome song track
Great to see Rob Birch and Nick Hallam -- what a great song this was. Thank you, Stereo MC's!
Bought the album in 93. Way ahead of their time. Connected still sounds fresh and awesome today. Put it on a big system and it blows you away. W
Nice to see Rob Birch still experimenting and improvising with sounds, that actually makes me happy. :)
Yeah, I was digging that beat he was putting out at around :47
This is one of those classics that regardless the year you are in it makes you wanna move.
i was a kid in the 90's,so much great music back then,loved this track to death.
Dude, I was an early teen when this came out, and I still count it as one of my favorite dance tracks.
I used to exercise to it - it had the right tempo for floor exercises - and the sheer awesomeness of it helped keep your mind off how tired the repetitions were making you ;-)
Music with integrity - They were ahead of their time.
Loved this whole album. Still listen to it today.
These interviews and deep dives on tracks is absolute gold!
Rob Birch is a genius. He has created so much powerful music.
I think we need this type of music in 2020

Great music,still listen to them now I'm 60 now, fantastic❤
That song is truly amazing and still to this day still rocks 👍👍👍👍
don't ever stop this videos. Thank you for existing and making YT nice place..
Dutch taxpayer money hard at work. This series is made by the Dutch version of the BBC. Seems like money well spend to me. :)
This piece is one of those I consider as “soundtrack of my life”
That album is pure class from start to finish.
Still stands up strong today.
A fan since >30 years. They just have the groove and the power to energize.
Love this album, I lived in Paris at the time and played this alot. We were raving all the time, these were great times!!!
Still today i listen Stereo MC´s..........ain´t got no money and thats the way it is !!!
This brother was a genius.. Stereos were a big impact on me and my favorite band..!!!!!!!
Been a fan of Stereo MC since 1991, grew up in Los Angeles and their music hit hard in that time!
Connected was one of my favorite songs of my youth. I fell in love for the first time listening to this song all the time.
My gosh.. this song still shines in my heart.. thank you so much for cheering up my teenage world...👍👏👍👏
Their DJ Kicks mix is hands down the best mix compilation I've heard in over 30 years of listening to electronic music. It's an absolute masterpiece

Hahaha! Any beat can be a family beat. She was 3. The lyrics weren't an issue.
That's a fond memory, I did the same with my 4yr old daughter.. Thanks for reminding me 😊
Sad so many remarks about how he looks never mind that they have made some banging tunes still collect there vinyl today top band.
Truth.
Yes aye! ✌🏻👊🏻
He’s always had a chronic disease. It’s not about being a junkie.
Image over skills, sad...
This is what you look like when you don't die at 27 why is that a surprise. Picture Sid or Mac Miller
this got played more than a few times on my road trip through Europe .. love the Stereo Mc's ..

Their live gig was very impressive. very lucky for having the opportunity to see their live performing

To be fair the Mondays were on their last legs of that era at that particular time, but that's not to take anything away from the Stereo MC's performance. Great live band.
Another one of those tracks I totally hated back in the day but learned to appreciate today.
I remember my friend making fun of me because I liked this tune.
It got rinsed on TV ads back in the day. That's why it was so annoying .
Saw them at Blissfields festival, got to be more than 10 years ago. My son’s band were on the same set. We couldn’t believe Rob was playing guitar. Great night that…..
This song was cranked up and on repeat. (Auto rewind and play) when came over the ocean in Ontario 🇨🇦
These guys were great! One of the coolest records of the era.
Struggles in life make him look this way.... life wasn,t easy.... life isn,t easy... and life will not ever be easy ever.... keep it up man.... love every thing u did or do😘
The music of the Stereo MC's brought me much joy. Props.
I'm 268 Yo, my mother died yesterday, and we played it at her funeral. My dad got so emotional he breaked danced.
He did the Boogaloo.😢😢😢
Such incredible insight! What a group what a song!
I am into heavy Music but i just love stereo Mc’s, man! His vocals are great... the beat.... the lyrics...
This is one of the best EVER! The lyrics really resonate with me! It is one of my all time favourites and at 57 years old I will still put it on and dance like no one is watching (freaking hope like hell no one is watching)! HA!
1992...wow im old. LOVED this tune back then. had the CD
This tune is a banger! Big up smcs xxx
I'm 43. I remember hearing this when I was 12 or 13. This is core memory for me. Timeless classic!
